We'll I have to say I am not impressed. The concept does nothing for me either, but then I am an SUV guy not a mini van guy.

G. David Felt Staff Writer Alternative Energy - www.CheersandGears.com Washington State EV Registrations by County. Here is the map of recent registrations in washington state by county of EV auto's. As you can see, this year has been a bumper year as more and more people embrace EV auto's in Washington. Do you think this is being seen around the country also?

Electric motors are on the Brain! Gotta love 420HP and 560lbs of torque. Gotta love the instant Torque that is constant and flat plus all the power.

Chevrolet News:Spying: Looking Inside the Chevrolet Bolt
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Chevrolet
Very interesting seeing this video and reading the comments. Glad to see that Chevy is keeping the interest alive by showing the work being done on the auto and it being out and driven. I will have to say that I like the dash very much in this EV. Anyone know what kind of Torque and HP figures GM is thinking of for the BOLT? I wonder how close it will be to the VOLT specs, Electric unit produces up to 149 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque -
My gut tells me they are trying to brush this off with the it is a software update only, but the engineer in me is saying it will have to be much more. The larger injectors, larger cat's are just the tip of this big mess. I suspect the EPA is also going to want to make a statement and make sure VW does this even better than just the majority getting software updates. We still have not seen the class action lawsuits that are sure to follow based in loss of value, HP, etc.

I like the look of the concept, but not a fan of the blind spots all CUVs seem to be getting in the rear. I will say that I am loving the sky roofs. They rock.

I still think the email FYI notice from Bosch was a bit poor and that Bosch did build the software and modules so I think they are far more involved in this than they are letting on.

So the big question to ask is if they are so efficient, then why do they have to spend more than GM and Ford combined to develop auto's and yet they still have a sucky product line here in the US? The quote said they are inefficient. Not efficient. I cannot imagine the wasted money being thrown around if they are spending more than Ford and GM yet they aren't making anything that is twice as good as anything from those two companies. ESPECIALLY if you throw in Cadillac. My bad, your right, I misread it. That is a freakin waste of money.

So I have not been a union member or part of any union since the early 80's. How is this a strike notification when it does not state anything about being a strike notice?- 5 replies

7.29 million?, should that be billion? Either way, VW is going to see a big dark drain on their money and I expect this to hit 20 Billion + to make this right and eventually go away. I think VW will have to change internally as well as cut other places as well.

That is a sexy Oldsmobile. Thanks for the post.

Saw a new Mercedes-Benz GLA250 today and had a chance to walk around it at the park n ride before the bus came. Talk about cheap looking, cheap assembly. The gaps were all over and the interior was anything but special. Reminds me of the traditional plastic Toyota Corolla style. Guess MB really has gone toyota bland with their entry level models.

The 2016 refresh gives the SS a more aggressive front clip and functional hood vents. This still looks very placid, this is not what an SS should look like. It is a nice sedan for true, but an SS should have a more aggressive look.

Discussion: The True Extent of VW's TDi Pollution.
G. David Felt replied to Cory Wolfe's topic in Volkswagen
Interesting that the WSJ is reporting that 2 engineers are behind this, http://www.wsj.com/articles/vw-emissions-probe-zeroes-in-on-two-engineers-1444011602 Very good read, but seems they both promised the now gone CEO that they could deliver a Green Diesel for the US market and their lies are being pointed at that caused everything else to happen. -
Welcome from the Evergreen State, Seattle Washington. Look forward to having you join the conversations.

Flowmaster is good but noisier in comparison to Magnaflow. If you do not want to have the harmonic drum of noise in the cab then go with Magnaflow as the last time I checked they made sure that the harmonic drum noise did not get into the cab.
