    Why is it that when I come across someone who drives a passat, the car is either incredibly trashed and driven like a bat our of hell or it is fairly new but driven below posted speed limits and pissing off everyone else due to holding up traffic. Yet I have seen the cars in pretty good shape driven at proper highway speed in Europe. Must be a crazy American drivers.

    I really wish some one could point to marketing that says these bland boring lemming cars sell because of X, Y and Z reasons. I just do not see why someone would want to buy such a boring auto.

    Meh, I would rather have a brand New Cadillac Escalade ESV Platinum and can add the supercharger and get a better handling, more comfortable auto than this 5 person over priced sardine can.

    WOW, Can you say a mouth full? What marketing moron chose that crazy long name.

    Just saw a 76 Old Station wagon. 3rd seat facing rearward. Brought so many memories of me growing up in that backwards facing seat and waiting for dad to let me out. LOL Fun Road Trips.

    Project Live Wire has Hit Washington. Pretty cool and being well received. Seattle times just posted this story about them. They are here through this weekend. http://seattletimes.com/html/businesstechnology/2024266130_harleyelectricxml.html This is a current video of the sound of the electric bikes. http://bcove.me/kglzih19

    That would be great. I wish someone would have asked him if he meant 30MPG of the EPA test or real world driving 30MPG. Real World Driving is a totally different beast that is mostly ignored by the companies. Still excited to see this

    We could just kill off the whole Gas Tax thing and apply a mileage tax to everyone so it is fair across all powertrain types / auto types. We also then should just clean up and remove the stupid states double taxation and have just one clean gov agency that manages all freeways / roadways. A Mileage tax would then allow everyone to pay as you go. The more you drive the more you pay.

    LTS, REALLY? Come on GM, Time to use the names that truly drive prestige. The Top of the line should be an Eldorado, Fleetwood or De Ville Even GM Insider News states how much they hate the 3 letter BS.

    Maybe the salt back east eats them up too fast, but here in Seattle where they do not use salt on the roads, you still see many of the luv trucks driving around.

    This is why I still see so many mid 70's Chevy Luv Trucks on the road with a diesel engine. Isuzu built a great mini truck then and GM need to bring their Mini sold in other world markets here with the 2.9L Duramax Diesel.

    I think all fuel tax's should go to road and mass transit. That way you have the funds dedicated. I am not a fan of the so called general fund and then idiots end up using the money for other social pet projects rather than what it was intended for. Perfect example of this was the Lotto that was added in washington state back in the early 90's. They said the money earned would be dedicated to the school system. Instead they put all the money into the general fund and now we have 500 million spent on illegal medical care rather than taking care of the teachers properly.

    The below quote is a perfect show no go example from BMW that America was accused of doing in the late 80's early 90's. Seems BMW has gone to rebadge everything with different looks but really no change driving dynamics. A poser car if ever there was one. A visual package will be a joke and be the downward fall of them.

    I love Drew's stated plan, that is what should be done.
  15. G. David Felt
    That is very cool, thanks for posting Drew.

    To Infinity and Beyond!

    Love this concept!
  18. G. David Felt
    Love that concept Drew of the Stow-n-Go option in a crossover. GM should do that in their crossover line.
  19. G. David Felt
    I loved the older Rolls Royce cars but the last 15yrs does nothing for me other than being an ugly brick on wheels. I guess if you have more money than brains and your a name dropping idiot than this is the ugly car for you.

    That is why I am looking for feedback, I started reading a story about the Toyota Supra and got sucked into going through multiple stories on Autonews and how they kept going back to their PDF above on product roll out so I figured I would see if others thought this was good or not. Thank Z-06

    The Land of the Rising Sun Readies New Auto's. Autonews has been running a series on Japan Future Product and even built the following timeline. As the five year product pipeline based on Autonews compilation of rumors and facts they have come up with these nine that are to be their exciting products to look forward too. Do you agree or do you think there is something missing? #9 2017 Nissan Maxima #8 2016 Toyota Prius (Spy shots courtesy Autoblog) #7 2017 Honda Ridgeline #6 2015 Honda HR-V #5 2016 Lexus GS-F (Spy shots courtesy MotorAuthority) #4 2015 Lexus RC #3 2017 Honda Civic #2 2018 Toyota Supra #1 2017 Honda NSX (Acura NSX spy shots courtesy Autoblog) Sound off on what you think of this list!
  22. G. David Felt
    Agreed, there is to much overlap and not enough gain for having a mid size and full size. Better use was to have a Mini Pickup and then full size.

    and Beyond!

    I agree with you here, and the earlier statement that the Pacifica was ahead of it's time and hurt by a poor marketing/sales execution and poor powertrain line up.

    So SMK what you are saying is you want our life to be a socialist hell with forced inflation. Your thinking is just stupid like all the idiots who say we need $15 minimum wage as a living wage. Base minimum wages is to give young a chance to earn money and learn to work, not ever meant to be a living wage. This in it's own right forces inflation of increasing costs and no real gain long term. Education and performance to grow and get promoted is what it should always be about. Trucks and SUV's are the backbone of America work force. If you force your tax on them then everything else will be forced to go up and that pushes houses out of reach of more people. Even your apartments will cost more to rent due to increased cost. The Construction companies are not going to absorb these tax's and neither can America afford to adsorb these cost with stupid tax right off's. What you are also saying is that large people like me with large families should be penalized since we do not fit in the standard mid size sedan. The GAS Guzzler tax is the stupidity of the Tree Huggers movement. We can live just fine with out all the wasted regulation and forced taxation Inflation. So more to your thinking, since most people cannot afford an E series MB, we need to add additional tax's to these expensive auto's to make this about sharing the wealth with everyone else. If you can afford to drive a luxury auto then you have to pay a luxury use tax. How do you like that thinking then?
