    great idea

    I actually would be curious to see that v8 diesel instead. I think whatever diesel GM puts in should be all AMURCHAN
  3. regfootball
    all the punks and pretty bois will still love their German cars in the meantime, the new CTS will be kicking ass! imagine when that TTv8 is rolling..........
  4. regfootball
    At least it's better than the Credenza.

    to reiterate then, If there is nothing to see that we are given the permission to have an opinion on, then what is the purpose of the thread, or even the whole spy photo industry? At least on GMI, how many 2016 Chevy Cruze spy photos threads have there been lately? Yet at least it's not a crime to give an initial reaction. How many damn ATS threads were there, CTS threads? I still maintain that if you merely replace 'Chrysler 200' in this thread with 'toyota', I don't think you would have had gotten wound up about it.

    What exactly is the point of anyone even posting topics on vehicles in camouflage then? If we aren't expecting a reaction then don't even bother making the damn thread.

    grow a pair. other people have opinions. deal with them or ignore them as you see fit. I have a hard time believing you would get your panties in a bunch about it if it were a Toyota I was critiquing. We all know you are a Mopar fanboi. You don't need to incessantly defend them like it was your girlfriend that just got beat up by an attacker. It's more or less gonna be a rebadged Fiat, hope the front end is not as atrocious as the new Cherokee. and I summed up a similar impression just by saying BLOB.

    what's crazy is how Chrysler turned the Sebring and Avenger from lemons to lemonade and they sell like crazy now.

    BLOB

    third world style on this one. Lacks the sex of the Optima.

    when i get home tonight I will finish this up. It's not as bad as I think the buff mags are making it out to be. At the same time, it does not advance the state of the art. The interior is surprisingly nice or at least better than expected. And it's greatly improved, but that is not saying much. I thought the seat sucked. My theme is that the Corolla and the Sentra IMO are two peas in a pod. In fact, I think they excuse themselves from being a competitor in the arena where driving dynamics are part of the equation and they really to me are part of the growing class of vehicles that people merely look to as high mpg, minimum fuss, mind numbing commuter pods. It's scary how similar in a near complete fashion the Corolla and Sentra are. If I were to choose between the two, I would choose the Corolla as it has a theme that is more sporty. Otherwise, we have 130hp CVT front drive cars without much sound deadener, with an ok amount of room, and a sort of faux style inside about them. Ask me tomorrow and I might choose the Sentra.

    Buick needs to market the Turbo Verano a lot more. It is a fantastic little luxury compact the used manual turbo Verano the dealer in my worktown had left that lot surprisingly quick. I don't know if it actually got sold or auctioned back. But it does in some way make me think there was a demand for it.
  14. regfootball
    VW's in general or the Phaeton in particular?

    yet the average age of vehicles on the road increases to like 11 years........it seems to me as long as the financing aspect keeps up, we will crack 16 mill and stay above that for awhile. What is needed now, to back off by staying even on all the regulations for emissions, mpg, and even safety. What is needed is the ability to start reducing the cost of new vehicles for more and more people.

    how does one get that choice? I'm stuck with a municipal utility for electric and water. I only have one cable provider choice. Likewise, natural gas. No choice, no competition, equals stick it to the man.

    I know that on this point, I haven't really seen any reduction in my bills, but I have seen a reduction in my kWh used. I'm a stickler for not leaving lights on even though my whole house is CFL. Unfortunately, the price has increased for me over the years. I did the useless exercise of putting CFL's throughout my house about 4-5 years ago. Here is what i found. -electric bill did not go down, in fact it's gone up (but that's probably in part to mandated renewable energy standards in this state which are shown that such states consumers pay about 30% more for their electricity than the states that do not have mandates). -it costs a lot for those bulbs, and they do not last 7 years. Many of them pop after 4-6 months. -Break one and now I have mercury in my house. -Fairly useless as exterior lights or in the garage (but I have them in there anyways) The quality of CFL's has improved. The thing I do like about CFL's is they do not heat up. I get a kick out of all the present rage...the non GMO, down with Monsanto, i shop at whole foods crowd. They want to go back to growing food in their backyard. Good luck with that. The mechanization of ag is a major reason why the USA is the USA and not a third world state. There is a middle ground, we shouldn't poison our people. But there is a lot of loss of perspective on the whole food chain disdain going on right now.

    i rip my cd's to itunes, have itunes match. now, my apple tv and iphone I don't have to copy and sync the tunes. my entire library is available anytime i am connected either with wifi or cell. then with bluetooth streaming to my sync or attached via cable in the car, there is no silly file management to phone etc. now the new itunes radio will be adless since i have itunes match. i can use my phone as a remote play device in the house for itunes etc. soon with my new phone, then i have the ability to use the airplay to apple tv etc. it all plays nice and requires virtually no fuss to take advantage of all those features. My 3gs which is soon 4 years old will still for a few years be quite handy for a bunch of things yet. If i took the case off, it would still look brand new. sure a slightly larger screen on the phone would be nice, a 4.7 to 5 in size might be nice. But honestly at some point, just bring an ipad with too FCS. the smaller size is nice and handy to manage in the car as far as stashing and holding on to etc. I don't want to put a shelf board in my pants either. I'd probably laugh and point at the dude who holds a Galaxy Note up to his ear to take a call. Might as well have a bag phone! In this house, the Apple Products are probably the most satisfying purchases we have had in the last ten years. We had some nice Samsung flip phones back in the day. When i got my 3gs we had actually got some samsung touch feature phones. They were garbage. Buggy, cheaply made etc. Returned them ASAP and got real phones by apple. Those Galaxy phones feel cheap in the hand.

    this would be a nice addition for Buick as a niche car. It makes more sense than trying to develop a new large coupe convertible. Adam, and Astra/Verano 3 door hatch at a minimum should also be here. The 5 door hatch and wagon Astras would be nice niche models too. With the Anthem coming, I would not bring over the Insignia wagon.

    nice article, agree on road noise. that was the most evident deficiency of the car when i drove it. also, to me, it did not seem terribly fast, but it does have good test numbers. I think most average drivers would prefer the Fusion over the 6 because it is more sedate. Both are equally excellent to me.

    there is some truth to the size thing, but the samsungs feel a bit clumsy to me in hand because of their width. Apple could I think put more screen size in their current chassis I think. Samsungs chassis also feel weak and chintzy to me. HTC phone to me looks like a nice option vs Apple. I just like how 99 percent of the time with any Apple device I have had, it just works without much fuss.
