#11 I asked that very questions of your Foreign or Domestic in the form of American, Asian or European Name plate. So which is it please?

Agreed Ocn, I think the whole Mid size is a viable market but can handle only so many sellars. I think FCA would do best with a true compact.

Wow, very cool, it seems the companies that are really old are all big monster companies looking to suck all the money out of you. Glad to hear you have a great insurance company Balthazar.

That is a great rate, who you have for auto insurance?

Is it American, European or Asian?

Indeed... this just may end up being the most reliable FCA (badged) product sold. If it is going down the same assembly line then that will be a welcomed plus. History is against Fiat as they have never had reliable products in the US and I sure as hell do not understand why people buy it in europe as I only hear from coworkers who own them that they are just garbage and will never own one again.

DOH, is he willing to delay Alfa products to allow the profits to be spent on this instead? He could probably hit a home run with high profits if he ignored the mid size and brought out a compact truck that meets the needs of city folk. Most city and suburban households do not need a 1/2 ton full or mid size truck and would be fine with a 2-3 person compact truck like the Ranger was or Luv truck of Chevy in the 70's. He seems to have hit his head and is now the Emperor with no cloths.

Is it from the Pony world of auto's? aka Camaro or Mustang.

Never cared for the Mazda version, this is a bit more butch, but a failure to me as it is a Fiat. Never will ever own their garbage. Mazda should have a street legal racing version that is over 200hp. They should have never allowed Fiat to just rebadge their car. Since the Fiat 500 series does not sell that well, I expect only the fiat faithful will buy this in very small numbers and they will sit on the lots. Most will probably end up with low miles as I expect no difference in their terrible reliability.

Yes has similarity to the product line, but also looks cheap.

WOW, Can Honda not find any Style Mojo? This is Butt Ugly like the rest of their product line.

Very cool, GM is doing the right thing.

I am going to have to challenge the sanity of the JD Powers 2016 report on Dependability as that is not what one sees with the garbage Fiat product line here in Seattle. I have never seen more auto's broken down along side the road or just sitting for sale. The autos are a joke. The product line should just die and invest the money back into the American product lines.

Way to go FORD! Another successful month for American Auto Industry.

I am plesantly surprised, I love the color, the blue accent both inside and out. The dash layout is very good for the driver. I am liking this corvette. Now if GM would just build a new SS AWD Sports SUV/CUV on this like they did with the Trailblazer.

Interesting, No way an adult can sit in the back seat, that is left to kid duty only. Much better looking in black but while I like the blue color, it makes the car very ugly. So like most automakers, it will depend on color for if poeple like it and of course will have to like the jellybean look. Nice specs for the car, should be interesting to see how this competes against the ATS.

Olds my condolenses, I know how much it affects family and friends when a loved one passes. If there is anything any of us can do please let us know. We are always here to listen and support everyone. My condolenses to GMPartsGirls Family and RIP to her. She was an enjoyable conversationalist and poster. She will be missed.

And see the green zealots need to respect this as most of us are not saying we want to kill a polar bear by stranding it on a Ice Flow [one of their greatest lies as they spend most of their time swimming. Just not everyone is fully bought in on all that is claimed nor is the technology there to work for everyone as it still has a ways to go yet. This has been my point all along as EV cars will need to a point that they do not require a life style adjustment for most people to accept them. Longer ranges and faster charging will resolve most of that but we are not there yet. Give people a EV that will charge fully in the time it takes to fill a tank of gas and the ability to charge just about anywhere and more people will buy in. Till then it will take a mix of technologies to fit all the needs and want. There is no wrong cars but you still need to be able to buy what you want and need. As for the next election. I really do not expect much to change on CAFE as even the Conservatives are against rolling it back at this point. We can hope but. As for Hillary. She is for raising it if she is not indited first. The key here is to respect all technologies as we will have them all for a good while as no single one will replace the others. It will remain a little of this and little of that and a little of both. OUTSTANDING GUYS! This is my whole purpose in stating what I have stated is to get others to expand on their thoughts and give a clearer picture of how they see things. You are both right in many ways, this country is built on options. Technology should be available at a reasonable price but also where it makes life better and not just money for a few. There are many things for everyone including myself to learn from history and make sure we do not repeat. Love both of your statements. Thank you

WOW, Wonder who is responsible for making this happen and are they still employed or have they been fired for lack of doing their job? NHTSA = Not Here To Supply Action NHTSA = Nobody Home Take Salary Away

9790 is still very respectable for a truck like this to tow.

K&N as well as AirRaid I have used on my autos and been pleased with both. I like the quality of either of these products over other brands I have seen out there. Some good options from both companies for your truck. http://www.summitracing.com/search/year/2009/make/ford/model/ranger/department/air-fuel-delivery/section/air-intakes-boxes?N=4294942683%2B4294951343%2B4294940011%2B4294951509%2B4294943164&SortBy=Default&SortOrder=Ascending

Very cool, glad to see such a capable truck. Wonder what a hybrid power train would do in a truck like this in regards to fuel economy?

If we live in an alternate reality, then it is the one that also is creating the bulk of this countries new wealth and pushing the future forward. Live in the past if you want Ocn, but the fact is, 15-20 years from now, your best truck could be an EV where you swap out Battery Cells to fuel it. After all, once the industry standardizes on battery cells, It could be as simple as driving on your road trip, pull in to a Cell Station and for a fee they swap out the cell pack and your recharged and full in minutes and on your way. Why fear the future when there is so many exciting things to enjoy. Remember stagnation is the death of creation and life. You need to ask yourself, are you really happy staying static or are you embracing all you can be with learning, changing and enjoying life? We need to enjoy and take care of our history, current and future. Just never stop learning, otherwise you can become stone.
