    Nope most so called professional sports teams are over paid and clearly over valued. Plenty of lazy people in it for a quick buck and return on investment to the fans. Plenty of games this weekend showed this.

    But this probably gets better gas mileage than all their others.

    Seattle is raining and I love it!

    Sorry wings, I have to disagree the car is ugly. Terrible rear headroom and a loss of internal cargo space all for the stupid coupe look in a station wagon.

    So it would seem that VW was wanting to show the best HP / Torque / MPG on the market but they would have fallen short if they had used DEF. Seems like this came down to how much could they skirt the law to give Executives better bonuses while not really following the law. I hope both Europe and the US fine VW heavily for this 3 Billion plus would do it for the damage done.

    Surprising it took this long for a University to question why everyone else has to use DEF tanks and VW did not. This should have raised red flags years ago. Like Drew and Mud, I do wonder what they are hiding with this programming. Interesting is that Europe noticed and finished their research to find that VW Diesels have been on average spewing out 7 times higher emissions than the Euro 6 standards allow. Europe report is found here: http://www.theicct.org/sites/default/files/publications/ICCT_PEMS-study_diesel-cars_20141010.pdf The report and I could totally be misunderstanding, but they say on average all the diesels in Europe put out 40% more emissions than expected for Euro6 standards and that either car companies like VW went with defeat software or too little DEF to control it. If they used the proper amount of DEF to meat the spec, the HP / Torque numbers would be noticeably reduced as would MPG.

    Ignorance!

    This is no different than any of the other big defect issues covered up. Nor did anyone go to jail from the Power issues in California that made the Erin Brockovich story so big. We have had decades of these cover ups and people expect it to change?

    Yawnnnnnnnnn, To some this will be exciting, but after having been in these cars, they are small, tight, ok quality and very ugly. For Citroen to return to the US, they are going to have some huge hurdles to get over and they are going to have to really study the market. I see the DS as a Buick / Acura competitor than a true luxury competitor and the story is right, DS means NOTHING to the US and the tech crowd. The young new money will see nothing in this brand I believe.

    Debbie Downer. Negative Nancy. Pessimistic Patty. Bitchy Betty. Party Crasher. Kill Joy. Although I agree with what you wrote.... Yup that is me and more, but I could see the following in a Camaro and that would rock! Rated Torque: 560 Lb Ft Peak (w/150kW controller) Rated Power: 420 HP Peak (w/150kW controller) Max RPM: 10,000 AM Racing AMR Dual Stack 250-90 AC Motor - Liquid Cooled, Permanent Magnet - RemyPure electric using 400Amp; Batteries to get a 250 mile range or more.

    At 2:29 you hear a hard crunch on the transmission, so I think it is a manual. Wonder if this could be a twin turbo V8 they are testing in the camero body. New motor for Cadillac?
  12. G. David Felt
    The mustang, Bronco and Jeep should have been made the rest of them is true garbage and should have not had been built. Agree with the rest of you, that there are many others that should be on the list of awesome concepts that never got built. Three of the ones I would buy if they built them!

    In todays overly PC world, I expect you to do something stupid like jump off a bridge and blame it on the voter who down voted your comment. In reality we have lost for a few generations on how to communicate and talk at each other via all means including face to face and agree to disagree. Part of being human is having your own feeling about something and saying it strongly without fear of the other person killing themselves cause they felt you crushed them with words. Are you sure it is not your eyes or monitor? Looks like a wink to me and not constipation!
  14. G. David Felt
    Enjoy it while it lasts, I suspect over the next 3-5 years we will see a massive change away from the V8 except in special use cases. The masses will have to accept turbo / supercharged 4 & 6 bangers.

    I agree that this is time to put this to rest and move forward. Just at Toyota paid 1.2 Billion for their recall issues, this is inline with this recall issue. I expect FCA to pay about the same amount due to the lack of follow through on their recalls especially in regards to the deaths by fire on the gas tank issues.

    Very cool Balthazar

    Bloated auto with bland style and blank bland interior. Honda Nuts will love the ultra conservative car which is no longer a compact in my book but a mid size and it will have little impact on the sales of this segment other than to Honda Nuts.

    Nope not offended, already hate facebook.
  19. G. David Felt
    The news keeps reporting it as a "dislike" button, but it's actually a sympathy button, when "liking" a status would be inappropriate to show support. I've noticed for awhile that people will "like" something when it's a sad story or something of the nature and actually "liking" it isn't what you're doing but you're supporting them more or less. I just hate Facebook completely and see no value to it. Have no account and do not see me ever having an account on that scourge company.

    Most back seats in auto's like the Muttang and Camero have cramped back seats.

    This is a smart move by them. Wish them all the best.

    I knew what you meant.. I was just jokin 'round. Plus, at least there are cheaop gas stations in po-dunk middle of nowhere towns..I guess they might have electrical outlets as well but no "super charging" stations. You just have to bring your own portable charger that is being sold now by multiple companies. http://delphi.com/manufacturers/auto/hevevproducts/charging-cordsets/charge-coupler-cordset/ http://www.plugincars.com/aerovironment-unveils-599-portable-charger-129326.html So for those that have a small podunk town you can bring your own stepup charger and for the outback, just turn on the generator first.
  25. G. David Felt
    That is a freakin HOT HOT car!, They should have done this much earlier. It will sell well here I suspect.
