Detroit 2012: Hello Buick Encore: Comments
Still can't get into these tall cars they look awkward and tipsy. I know they won't tip unless pushed to very high limits of traction at side thrust angles. But to my eye they look all wrong. Build it make money and please build a proper wagon for people of my ilk.

Industry News: U.S. Treasury Increases Losses On Chrysler, GM Bailouts
But that timing could prove to be political ineptness rather than GM or CryCo's performance. Sell it too soon then the Government looses money. IDK the investment will still probably have been more than worth the risk.

Sad thing this insanity and mindless drivel is spreading to other States in our Union. The Auto makers and this whole Country will have to foot the bill for their nanny state.I guess we'll see $100KChevy P/U's with a bed full of batteries and a payload of maybe 1000lbs & 50mi range.

Debate: Hatchback or Wagon?
Well we've already progressed to the point that everything is just a generic CAR. Avalanche, Silhouette, CRV, 1500 Ram, all cars now a days.

Cadillac News: Rumorpile: Cadillac Ponders An ATS-based Roadster
Hyper my point was they lightened up on mounting bolts which is miniscule in scope of things then penalize the car with an engine that is larger and heavier. That makes no sense to me. As far as me working on one myself my days are short for wrenching so I'm not worried but I feel for the kids and experienced techs trying to get to some tiny rotted machine screw at some later date. I can see the end of even retired auto techs being able to work on their own cars that they've worked so long & hard to save for. As an example of engineers pushing the envelope can you remember those rear wheel cylinders on A body Malibu cop cars. I can and it wasn't pretty many other problems but that one should drive home the point. We lost a couple cars to fixable accidents before GM gave us new backing plate out brake assemblies. As far as lightened cars go I understand the whole scope of the process in that part A allows part B ect... so that those bolts can be so small without a safety issue arising. I applaud the effort but as a Gear Head I just see my favorite maker being turned into White - Westinghouse. Not sure that I like that I guess that is just the way of the "throw it away and buy a new one" America but at least we are getting smarter and recycling now. I can't help but think that we pollute far more and use more resources this business model.

Was that a Smart 4/two? That sure was a weak front axle I don't remember them that thin and spindly.
