    Too bad there' no 3-door Clio...

    This will make BMW have an entry aimed straight against the 5-door A5 (which you guys don't get in the US IIRC). It'll be a useful model in what's a pretty intense fight, and at least it doesn't look like a hunchback station wagon like the 3GT and 5GT do...

    They are somewhat since the 2-Series is the sister car to 1-Series Hatchback. Reportedly, the Active Tourer (BMW's first FWD model) will be wearing the 2-Series moniker as well. It will; there was a spy shot of the FWD-based MPV wearing a 2-something designation... This one I can understand as it is targeting the 5-door A5 buyers, but the FWD MPV naming as a 2-Series whent he coupe/convertible stay as RWD models is really weird to say the least... The Active Tourer is more of a minivan/tall wagon, though...I wonder though if they will have a 2 series Gran Coupe like this..niches within niches with niches.. It'll be named the 2-Series GT apparently... Since the 2-Series is RWD it's kinda strange to pair the two IMHO... Don't think there will be a 2-Series Grand Coupe; this 4-door coupe thing doesn't fit well with smaller cars like the 2-Series...

    There is a justification if the Volt is sold at a heavy loss... Then own up to it, stop selling it and call the "green" experiment a misstep. Or try and have it (and the ELR as well) as an greenimage booster for a company known for full-size SUVs... Which is the role the Volt+ELR play IMHO... They're PR machines first and foremost.

    I see Cadillac leveraging tha Alpha platform with CUVs: Something ATS sized and CTS sized for starters; with maybe a smaller one and a larger one (Gamma and Lambda?)... Re the diesels, IDK what the Hell GM has been wondering and thinking about all these years... If yuo're not happy with what you got in-house, just outsource a diesel engine FFS...

    The Navigator's main competition is the Yukon and Escalade, I suppose. Also the Lexus LX and Infiniti QX..the big truck-based V8 luxo SUVs. I can't imagine anyone cross shopping the Navi w/ European SUVs, though. As far as Lincoln sedans and CUVs, they target Acura, Buick, and the appliance end of Lexus (ES/RX), I would say... So...basically exactly what Mercury was allegedly attempting to target, then, right? Well, Mercury was the step-up from Ford and below the then-Luxury brand Lincoln, so... Yes, Lincoln went downmarket.

    REGAL : THE FUTURE

    ZL-1 replied to regfootball's topic in Buick

    I think neither the liftback nor the wagon from the Insignia range would be successfull in the US.

    Don't know exactly what GM's rating of the engines for the LTS, but with a 410HP TT V-6 on the shelf I think the step up should be more than just the extra 50HP the LT-1 delivers... the supercharged V8 can easily be offered in a 490HP-510HP trim with a tune around 600HP-620HP as their top offering. I agree in doubting GM will do a V-12 for this thing...

    That 4-Series interior has a fold-down armrest. It wouldn't be a dealbreaker for me personally but if one is picky regarding the little details, it does show an apparent lack of attention to detail...

    Isn't this 5HP more than the M3/M4 engine?

    GM seems to consider a lot of things.....
  18. ZL-1
    i.e.the NG Euro Accord will be larger (as I believe the TL is larger than the TSX)?

    Live shots confirm that front logo is IMHO oddly placed in the grille... Other than that, it's a nice looking car! Meither the blue nor the white one seem to have the LED lighting up front, though... Wonder why they aren't full optioned models as many auto show cars usually are...
  20. ZL-1
    Only thing I don't like is that GM horribly mispalced the logo on the grille: not good looking at all sitting on one of the horizontal chrome lines on the grille; should be between the 2 chromed lines to look better IMHO... But that's a bit of me aiming for the ultimate nitpicking

    Hmmm... An affordable RWD model? Hope GM is listening...

    Nice! Conservative as expected; more dramatic styling will look better in a larger package so I hope GM gives a go-ahead to a new CTS coupe as well

    So the one on the stand at NAIAS is one with the Z07 package (transparent thingy on the rear spoiler)... Aggressive, very aggressive... I am wondering if there will be a C7 ZR1, though I could see this engine generating some 20hp-to-30hp more (or whatever hp increase would offset the higher weight) for a fully loaded, equipment-wise, ZR1 to top out the Corvette range

    Same thoughts here: little darker background would make for a contrast that's easier for the eyes when reading the forums.
