    Adding the Mirage boosts volume. Outlander Sport is really ramping up. I like that rig, wish it had a different motor and reclinable back seats though.

    take away the CLA and they are about flat. Look at the big percentage of their sales, its crossovers.

    lotsa punks got credit to lease finally last month i see

    Tiguan is not packaged right and the Touareg is overpriced. Plus, no three row. VW is not in the crossover game and its apparent now that its hurting sales.

    I think we've hit a critical mass point where people want to buy crossovers first, but if they don't have the coin, or just want a smaller vehicle, then they will get a sedan. Most often small or midsize. Many of these cheaper cars are dependent on cheap lease support. Basically, GM needs more crossovers. Cadillac in particular needs 2 or 3 more. Chevy needs the Trax to arrive ASAP. They should drop the price on the impala.

    thank you. GM hasn't had spacious cars for many years now.......with a tiny few exceptions.

    well, these pictures are better than the Previous ones. It looks alright, but I think it looks a little generic, dated, and really not at all ground breaking. I mean, this is 2010 stuff here. Drew is spot on, it really is Captiva 2.0 or something. The Encore is so bold and striking, and this.........isn't........ Yes, the interior is nice. Wonder if this forecasts any of future sedan interiors. While this is 'alright', it doesn't outduel the Terrain or Equinox by much, and Linclon's new MKC is pretty impressive. Also not sure if this is dead set in the middle inbetween the Encore and Enclave. My fear is there will not be much spread between the Encore and this. It does fill another gap for Buick however, which is alright. Now please, 3 door Astra hot hatch please.

    If the looks had been compromised that's one thing. But this looks just as good. Maybe even a bit more balanced looking.

    ATS will need over the upcoming years New dash / interior and new CUE Something diesel AWD with MT, this would help the MT take rate immensely 2.0 base turbo and an improved 2.0 +/- optional forced induction motor 8 sp tranny 3.0 tt v6 to replace the 3.6 3.6 tt in a higher level sport model I wouldn't put a v8 in the car. Make the ATS-L mods to the sedan so people who like the car but want leg room in back have a choice and don't have to buy elsewhere. Focus more on sporting models and less on decking out with lux options, leave this to C T S

    Horse, yes VW would rather sell Beetles. First of all, the beetle line sold over 40k last year. Not at all niche. VW's entire brand history is based off the Beetle and it's far more charismatic in America than the Golf. VW even tried to rid the Golf name from our soil (Rabbit redux). The Beetle was remade to precisely provide appeal as the 2 door coupe/hatch here because no one wants a 2 door Golf. Side by side in the showroom, the 2 door golf can't compete vs a Beetle. With four doors, the Jetta creams the golf hatch. The only thing that keeps the Golf afloat is the GTI as far as keeping it in the news. We're lucky actually to get this new version with the new one hitting in 17. I think VW would bail on the Golf if not for the interest in the Focus and Mazda 3 hatches. If this were GM they'd let the previous version wither on the vine a few more years. VW has a problem, they have this paradox where they want to make one car or platform all over, but then we have 2 world Passats simultaneously on different platforms. I think VW seems to have weird behavior these days with their market planning. Aggressive but not at all executed well.

    Wow that body color cladding down low is terrible. 1994 called and wants their plastiparts back. At least it's not hideous like a Pathfinder.
  13. regfootball
    Terrible. Reeks of Chinese bland outside. The inside is nicer. Shape looks dated. Stretched toureg with a Volvo grille mashed on it.

    VW would rather sell Beetles here.

    yup Well, they aren't FWD family sedans... buyers of these cars are often single or DINKs, so they don't need a lot of rear seat space. bad call, everybody likes room. why shut out part of the buyers? ATS could very well be a daily driver choice for me, except the rear legroom is 99% deal breaker. Starving the ATS of legroom here hasn't helped CTS sales and the ATS prices are ridiculous low and still don't sell. The fact that Caddy would even consider a smaller model is insane.

    Ram trucks have a good rep these days, and a tough rep. I have 2 people i know well who ditched other brands to go to Ram. One was a Chevy truck lifer. Didn't like the new Chevy's. I think Chevy erred badly on the styling of their new trucks. Not man enough.
  17. regfootball
    that will be a good marketing angle for them.

    http://www.carnewschina.com/2014/08/18/cadillac-ats-l-hits-the-china-car-market/ You can bet part of the ATS struggles in this market is because there is a very tough and small backseat. This is the solution. Most folks can't spot the diff.....

    Nice write up! Sasha!

    V6 that is

    I'd also like to see them put the twin turbo in there.
  22. regfootball
