    A Range Rover? A RANGE ROVER DAN? Your first attempt at a $h!post and you liken those things to a RANGE ROVER? 0/10. Don't troll again.

    Aside from the fact that it was at least 90% rendered, I quite liked the ad. The music sounds like it was peeled right from Batman: Arkham City, which isn't a bad thing.

    How much does he hate his Equinox? This much:

    So you sold a modern compact with a camshaft sensor issue for a Heep with more problems than your last eight vehicles combined?

    Proof that City Hall railroaded the new zoning bylaws.

    I've never seen a Mini Coupe or Roadster outside of an auto show. It probably doesn't help that the prices of the vehicles are eye-poppingly high. $32K for a base Coupe? Get outta here.

    In this corner: In the other corner: The tallies are coming in: And it's a LOLndslide for the Tru 140S.

    I'd add that the preconceived notions held against Detroit and Korea have faded, too. People our age typically have no memory of the Hyundai Pony or the Excel. Nor is there an absolute bias against American products, which is unlike the attitude of their parents.

    From what I've read, the Ram Runner doesn't hold a candle to the Raptor when it comes to being a good 'all-rounder.' It doesn't help that it can get up to nearly $70k. I see quite a number of Raptor's on the road here. Which is a bit silly, because Vancouver is the last place on Earth that an individual needs a lifted, off-road vehicle.

    I think the blue circle detracts from the logo. The prior version was very clean and modern. At least, I think there should be a way to make the 'H' in Cheers mesh with the circle, as opposed to weirdly sticking out of it.

    I could've done a better job in Paint probably but this is okay, I guess.

    Good. One extra year to convince the folks to buy one of these!

    Key word in your quote is 'marketing.' BMW advertises its cars as having Nurburgring-beating pedigree and proceeds to make CUV's and a front-wheel drive vehicle. 99% of BMW's don't see the track. All Jeep needs is for John and Jane Doe to be impressed when their Cherokee can ford a foot and a half of water on the road from a backed up drainage sewer in their neighbourhood. They're never going rock crawling and neither will anyone else

    The off-road crowd have the Wrangler and they spend 95% of the time on pavement anyways. This vehicle looks great and entirely in-tune with what the majority of CUV buyers want these days. If self-appointed 'off-roaders' want to ChryCo to continue making Trail Rated Jeeps, they'd do well to hope the Cherokee makes money and cheer it on.

    I already like the Wrangler and a diesel engine would make it a very tempting purchase.

    If foreign companies continue to pillage American technology through bankruptcies and controlling stakes, your next-next vehicle will be not be a Chevy, but a Chery. Your governments already pay oil and gas companies massive subsidies. The reason corn syrup is so prolific is because of subsidies. Electric vehicles and their associated subsidies are a drop in the bucket compared to both. And unlike the above two, they have the potential to do humanity good. Get mad at something else.

    I can drive across my country, in the dead of the cold Canadian winter, in a Tesla Model S if I wanted to. The infrastructure of fast-charging stations exists along the Trans-Canada highway. Our governments, local and provincial as well as our publicly owned power utility, are awarding grants to businesses that install fast charging stations. The money and manpower is behind electrics. Now it's just a matter of whether the United States wants to be a leader or left behind.

    I think this will be the best looking vehicle in their stable. They've given it a very modern appearance while not copying the same mistakes they made with the Compass. They're going to sell these by the truckload.

    You sound exactly like the bean counters at GM who use sales figures as the only measure of success and a rationale for cutting models and ideas that could have had a chance to grow. Why not trot out Apple Lisa sales figures and use them to declare personal computers to not be worth anyone's time, while you're at it? No, people are fools for rooting for new technology to fail. There were people who thought that steam-power was a bad idea. There were people who thought international flight was a bad idea. Nobody is begrudging your decision to not drive an electric. We're begrudging your apparent desire to not let other people make that choice or pursue that technology.

    I am a bit surprised that Sony did adopt a more conventional hardware approach. The PS2's Emotion Engine CPU was complex, and so was the Cell. Pairing the two together in the first generation of the PS3 was an exercise in dumbness. I guess they figured that the PS4 could be their strike three. Sony appeared to be 'above' conventional hardware that was sourced from PC's. Sega learned the hard way with the Saturn that thinking outside the box (and relying on two totally different CPU's to work in tandem with each other) was a bad idea. They fixed that with the Dreamcast which sourced off-the-shelf parts and was a familiar developer environment. TL;DR: Features, as we've seen the past several years, will continue to define consoles. The PS3 did win in that realm at the start, but Xbox will have the upper hand this time.

    At the end of the day, America will lose more of its ingenuity and genius to a country that actually appreciates those traits, while Yankee's will be busy continuing to focus on the real issues like who can coat the most mayonnaise on a deep fried porkwich.

    I'm pretty impressed with the specs. That's about on par with my PC which has a GTX 470 in terms of sheer power. Of course, my computer is nearly four years old so I suppose we can take that for what it's worth too. Needless to say, console gamers are going to be getting graphics upgrades that are sorely needed.

    Well wishing for an American company to be dead equals "I support the pillaging of American ingenuity and technology by foreign companies!"
