  1. SWEET This will drive sales for speed freaks. Chevy what is your answer? Ford, forget it, you cannot play in this ballpark with those stupid Turbo 4's and V6's.
  2. The CTS-V is coming next year. Even the Germans release their Hi-Po versions a year or 2 after the pedestrian model comes out. Except the S63 AMG that came out the same model year as the S550, and the S600 and S65 were released 6 months later. On the S-class coupe the AMG versions available right away. BMW is a bit slower though. Plus lets get back to reality. S versions do not compete with ATS, CTS or SRX. In comparing the equal class cars, Cadillac is more than competitive and clearly has many positives that you ignore and then point to higher class cars.

  4. FAILURE!, Sorry to all those that love this whole coupe thing, but the loss of headroom, the squashed look of the rear. I do not care if Europe thinks it is great, these cars suck for big people and families. I do not see any positive gains on it even from an MPG standpoint. This screams to me of just following the lemming heard and will cause a hard small opening to the trunk. DESIGN FAILURE in My Book.
  5. You know, if GM would come out with one, say a stage 1 or something like that and it would not cause any problems with the warranty, that is something I would jump at if the price was right. I wouldn't want to take a chance on something aftermarket. I used to be like you only wanting to use GM products on my auto's but after trying Jet chips and a few others found that most are very solid and as such you can gain considerable HP / Torque along with MPG. Check these out for the Diesel Cruze. http://www.chipexpress.com/products/chevrolet/cruze/ http://www.chipmydiesel.com/products/diesel-chip-tuning/chevrolet/cruze-d/1722.html http://www.inmotionusa.com/website/domestic.html This company tunes the chip for you and sends it back to you, there is many good comments here on this forum. http://www.cruzetalk.com/forum/64-chevy-cruze-diesel-general-discussion/28057-chip-tune-diesel-cruze.html Their Video I like this one best. http://www.thoroughbreddiesel.com/fleece/chevy-cruze-diesel-tuner.htm Just some reading for you to consider.
  6. I actually wish they would take the Tesla style of 200 mile range and keep a generator so that you get a decent 400-600 mile range out of the auto or longer. That would really help move people away from traditional gas only powered auto's. I believe the VOLT powertrain would be best used in CUV/SUV applications.
  7. So how would you rate their air suspension to Cadillac Magnetic ride suspension?
  8. Those slicks are good on the track but might have a problem gaining traction in the snow.
  9. You might have a problem getting it in the color and engine choice you want!
  10. Totally agree with SMK that VW could take over FCA and streamline it by eliminating duplication, but if the company thinks it can cut its way to prosperity, they are in for a rude surprise and major failure.
  11. Very Cool but man that looks cheap compared to the matchbox's I have from my own childhood in the 60's and 70's.
  12. Dinner Time
  13. Interesting, I hope this is a bigger sale for them.
  14. I actually like the look of this thing. I think they should have an SUV.
  15. If he does this he needs to be fired, only an idiot will go luxury compact or luxury subcompact. So far the companies that have done that have failed. Just look at the hideous ugly rebadge scion that Aston Martin did called the sygnet.
  16. Very Good GM, This is the POSITIVE aggressive attitude to take in making sure your auto's are the best in the world. Right Job, Right Approach, Positive and caring about the customer.
  17. It seems Subaru also keeps making cars for people in the mid 5 foot range for height.
  18. Decent write up and what appears to be a decent commuter car. Clearly not a long distance trip car though.
  19. Very True, I would expect GM to use heavy camo to keep it hidden till release time at an auto show.
  20. Jags sell poor here always in america. They do not really have what the consumers want.
  21. Socialist European unions will be hell for VW to deal with as they do need to shed surplus capacity and reduce head count. Could be a way for Chrysler to become an independent American company again.
  22. Not bad, I understand Z's feeling about the cookie cutter of small, medium and Large. I also know that my parents will like this.
  23. Very sad as they clearly are not marketing it properly and have not put together a better solution that the public will buy. While I think the look of the Opel is ugly, the technology needs to get into CUV's and other auto's. Makes one wonder if Opel is doing to the Ampera what GM did with Pontiac, Olds and Saturn with piss poor marketing and the wrong package combination.
  24. Yes let VW Buy Fiat and Melt Down. The market has too many so might as well clean out the Rif Raf and move on. Then we will start to see the Chinese fill in the gap.
