Chevrolet News:Chevy Trax to Start at $20,995; Launch January 2015
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Chevrolet
Cute bugger, I can see this as a popular auto for young people and for those wanting a small solid commuter auto especially with AWD. -
Good Luck KnightFan, I know it is always hard to release things you have had around for a long time.

September 2014: Mazda North American Operations
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in 2014 Sales Archive
If you remove the Mazda 6 and CX-5 Mazda is really on decline. False numbers as they need to correct their family of auto's to keep sales growth rather than just focus on 1 or 2 auto's. -
September 2014: Audi of America
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in 2014 Sales Archive
VW has never understood the American Public. They still think it is the 40's with the peoples car. Out of Touch with Reality or we are just the ugly step child's market. -
September 2014: Toyota Motor Sales
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in 2014 Sales Archive
Hate to burst peoples bubbles, but society over all has moved away from 2 door coupes and the Millennial crowd wants their social networking and friends with them in a car. As such, the coupe crowd is a very small minority world wide and as the Socialist idiots push their agenda for everyone on mass transit and bicycles, We will see people stay with 4 doors and suv's/cuv's. I really expect the last of 2 door coupes to be the Camero, Mustang, Challenger. Anything else will be stupid 2 door eco box's like the over priced turd SmartCar. Even Toyota's version of that did not last. Mini has loosing sales of their 2 door version also. -
I have come to really enjoy clean calipers that are not rusty. Makes a car look that much better and people notice it as looking nice but can not always put their finger on it. The devil is in the Details as they say. Look forward to seeing pictures.

I understand that resto jobs are not always easy or cheap but I feel some places like the White Post Restorations just wants to ripe people off. Sad as I would hope for a fair profit they would want to drive to help keep quality old auto's around. Best of luck to you balthazar.

Outstanding write up, learned allot. and Love the interior, far better than most cars out there especially the crazy floating look of the Nav found on the German brands. Question, did they say why they had to drop the HP? Was it due to the AWD system? Do you know if you can reprogram it to capture the additional HP and still get the Torque at the lower RPM level? I can see this car as getting Tuners excited and after markets building options for it. Nice Job, Thank you

G. David Felt Alternative Fuels & Propulsion writer www.CheersandGears.com Nissan let their engineers loose to build a 21st century electric pickup truck. Sparky or as some have stated, a modern day compact ElCamino. This is the Modern day version of what City Dwellers who rarely drive their trucks or cars far but need something to haul stuff around for the yard would want possibly. Plenty of pictures of this electric compact pickup truck can be found on the search engines. http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Nissan+Sparky&FORM=HDRSC2 The creation of this is from blending a Nissan leaf with a Frontier so that the Engineers had an electric truck around the shop. Full story here from Nissan Global. http://reports.nissan-global.com/EN/?p=16121

Kia News: Paris Motor Show: Kia Optima T-Hybrid
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Kia
While it sounds cool and I have posted in other threads that the Volt needs to have a diesel and CNG option for the generator, I do find the pictures and info a bit lean. Excited still for them to do this. -
Very Cool, Are you going to go with the Calipers as is or paint them to look fancy?

GMC News: GMC's Chief Wants A Canyon Denali

Actually a AllTerrain Terrain Edition with Lift Kit, Hummer style Crawl ratio and protection would rock for the Terrain CUV! -
Cadillac News: Cadillac's Upcoming Flagship Has A Name: CT6
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Cadillac
I will agree with SMK that Cadillac needs to look at the last 15-20 years of successful names and base all models off solid names and dump the Alphabet soup. SUV/CUV's Escalade ESV = Escalade ESV Escalade = Escalade 7 passenger CUV = Ascende SRX = Arise Car's ATS sedan, Coupe and Convertible = Calais ATS V Editions = Calais V CTS Sedan, Coupe, Convertible and Station Wagon = DeVille / Coupe DeVille CTS V Editions = DeVille V CT6 Sedan = Elmiraj CT6 Coupe = Cien CT6 Convertible = Evoq CT6 V Editions = Elmiraj V, Cien V and Evoq V Hybrids ELR = Converj This I feel would have been World Worthy Names for Cadillac to grow and build their line on.- 113 replies

Cadillac News: Cadillac's Upcoming Flagship Has A Name: CT6
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Cadillac
I honestly do not see a need for Cadillac to waste R&D dollars on the compact or sub compact market. Leave it to Buick. Yet since they have the compact ATS, might as well focus on that and upwards. Make sure the ATS and CTS have 4 door sedans, 2 door coupes, convertibles and even station wagons.- 113 replies

G. David Felt Alternative Fuels & Propulsion writer www.CheersandGears.com Yesterday Toyota announced a 690,000 truck recall for the Toyota Tacoma truck covering 2005 to 2011. Toyota notified NHTSA that they would be recalling Tacoma's with 3 or 4 rear leaf spring systems due to them fracturing due to stress or corrosion. If this happened and the truck was continued to be operated, it could move out of position and puncture the fuel tank causing leaks and potential fire. Toyota is not aware of any accidents, fires or other issues caused by this and is taking a proactive action. http://pressroom.toyota.com/releases/toyota+tacoma+recall+sept29.htm Owners will be notified by first class mail and repairs made at no cost to them. If the owners wants they can reach out to their local Toyota dealership to get this addressed immediately.

GMC News: GMC's Chief Wants A Canyon Denali
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in GMC Trucks
Prices for entry level auto lines have gotten out of line. No Ford, Chevy, GMC or Ram is work that. -
Nice looks like it was cleanly restored or just kept up nicely. Wonder how many real miles are on the truck?

Lower it, Monochromatic paint job and drop the TT-V6 into the truck and call it Syclone! That will sell! Paint it Black Diamond with Black Chrome Rims, Grill and door handles. -
Walmart to Shake Up the Trucking Industry
G. David Felt replied to G. David Felt's topic in Alternative Fuels & Propulsion
So in searching I see that GM did the Turbine Semi concept in 1964. You also have Luigi Colani who is pushing the design and efficiency of Semi's in Europe.- 4 replies
