    I CAN HAZ BIG MINOR CHANGES?

    Give people a difference maker. http://www.siouxcityford.com/blog/new-2014-ford-focus-with-no-charge-winter-package A package like this on a small car can tilt the equation. Similar deal is a 'sun and sound' package

    i was really a lame promotion. ford has great success in spring and fall/winter with regional promotion packages in their cars. Package up rebates / cheap lease with some regional packages, (for example heated seats and remote start for free or huge discount) at the right time of year and its a useful tool. A bunch of doofs and 'friends and family' doesnt work.

    still goes to when the 'rules' are so crazy that law abiders have to go rogue as a norm to comply then its really a ridiculous situation. vw of course should have gone with def tanks, but emissions and mpg standards need to go into holding pattern for ten years or so.

    The real question is will Elons ego let him do something like this. His rocket company as already taken a hit from the competition this week as it is. In that lies the rub. Egotistic smart people think they should still rule everything and control everything. This is probably one of the biggest problems. He cannot see what his real benefit is to society other than trying to be a ruler. u win the internet today ^^^^^^^! spot on caddy should be aiming for a plug in with 100 or more miles of range

    you're not really accurate, I don't have anything against the 4 speed other than the 6 speed had better mpg, paddle shifters, and drove better. i can't endorse cobalts for pleasure or sport, or luxury, as mine (sedan) is coming up on 100k, but i can say its been reliable. Apart from recalls, only the window switches have really been an issue. Still on the original brakes. Literally have just changed oil and tires and put gas in it. It's actually going to be for sale pretty soon, i would LOVE to pass it on to another, but you'd have to be jiggy with a 5 speed. G5 would be a neat find.

    i still see lots of nearly 20 year old saturn that look great. Maybe by now they could have figured out how to 3d print plastic car panels......on demand

    I had some like for it also, but was it really identifiable as a Cadillac,

    these teasers are starting to seem common

    mazda 3 is unattractive and too small. not fast either mazda 6, tight inside and no go either, too racy of styling for selling mainstream miata - toy car, a good one, but has limited appeal cx5, a good product but how come people still buy crv's cx9, people will say, why no v6, and it should have more room mazda always designs in something that keeps them out of the mainstream

    right gm is purposely 'debuicking their lineup, envision is a chinese x5, lacrosse has a nice azera vibe going on. not that they aren't bad to look at, they are just stripped of their buick. the avenir still has the buick. i'd could set my 77 century coupe, or a 95 riviera, or a boattail riviera, or a 92 park avenue, and they would look in perfect company. remember catera? they stripped it of its cadillac

    Prolly destination charges imagine how expensive the dest charge will be when they start shipping them from china it really sucks the diesel isn't there out of the gate. I had been looking at a current gen diesel for awhile, but this whisper diesel and new style make me want to wait. Current gen cruze leases are almost too good to pass up, i prob won't have the patience.......

    nice new beak but that interior is terribly bland and 2003-ish
  15. regfootball
    only 227hp on 87 octane.....'ah but its the torque'! a nice alternative, at least its distinctive. if they don't overprice it, it should sell ok.......
  16. regfootball
    wait till Tony puts his 'multi air' in dees miata
  17. regfootball
    it would be nice to see the plug in range to equal the new volt, and maybe go beyond. 30 miles is quite meh. this is a good california car though. hybrid, and RWD only.. i don't see this initially selling much outside of cali

    these sell well in the compressed areas of urbanity. they're cheap and small. Despite how bad the car is, Mitsu is really carving out a niche for themselves here and it keeps the lights on at their dealers. And maybe build some future repeat biz..... to get a 10 yr powertrain wty on a car like this is a big thing.
  19. regfootball
    a lot of power and tq from 1.5 liters...... not sure if a good thing anymore.......

    Interior is not that far removed from a fusion too. They needed to up the ante on the interior

    The current gen Lacrosse was instantly recognizable with buick genes on first sight. This new one like the envision and the spy shots of verano looks neutered for the world markets. Most casual buyers won't have an idea what brand this car is until they see the letters BUICK on it. Maybe this is what Buick wants now, to blend in. Sort of like Ford and their Hyundai grilles. The grille on this thing has the wings so they just can swap out the Opel Logo and don't have to have the separate but more distinctive waterfall grille. They really want to take some of the North American DNA out of Buick styling it appears. Picture on Buicks website looks like some current gen taurus influence on the front end too.

    I'm with Paolino on the LaCrosse's exterior. Something just seems off and I can't put my finger as to why. I think I need to see this car in person. It's what i feared from seeing the teaser, the teaser looked 'off', this reveal confirms it. It's a Chinese car. This misses 'Buick'. This is a retrograde step from the current LaCrosse. It's off the same way the Envision is off. This has equal flavor Acura ILX kick line and 1st gen Hyundai Ajera kick line in the back. Greenhouse is generic, not rakish like previous gen. There is no 'sweepspear' present. Front grille looks clumsy, are we back to dowdy LeSabre days? Tailights are nice. What does this bode for the Regal? At least we know the Regal won't be on a 116" wheelbase. A ford Flex like Buick would be great on this wheelbase. Interior is not bad even with some of the higher end Kia / Hyundai vibe. It's pretty clear to me there is no North American styling flavor assigned to Buick anymore.
