  1. I think another strike against the car is having the DEF tank in the spare tire hole. Needing an empty trunk to fill the tank, is a bad idea..
  2. So they copied the Chrysler 200 rear end? And the scalloped headlamps? Why?
  3. Meh. Looks like a first gen Vibe.
  4. Some dealers have also made agreements to meet certain milestones and quotas with GM, if they are not met. . . We have a Chevy dealer near here that is quietly on the ropes.
  5. So, 7 years in and all they can come up with is a refresh? Didn't Ford and Dodge do this after about 3 years? Even the 2014 GM refresh is more extensive... But I bet the magazines will lap it up with a big spoon.

    We received our first Encore yesterday. I will get pictures ASAP.
  7. This sort of corporate commentary always amazes me. All I ever read out of the above is 'Our current stuff is a mistake, trust me that we'll get it right the next time'. You just don't DO this sort of thing intentionally in commerce. In this situation that phrase can be given with a straight face. They are trying to erase the Daimler/Cerberus era. Any other time, and your assessment is spot on.
  8. I agree that the face of the 130R should be changed a little bit. Not because it doesn't work (which it does), but to be brought in line with the rest of the new Chevy faces (Impala, Traverse, et al). Leave the rest of it alone.

    For anyone who spends 5 seconds searching, clear pictures of the front and rear of the 2014 Corvette have been leaked. I saw shots from a couple of well known magazine covers. I think I like the front, but the rear. . . maybe it will grow on me.

    I wish there was more available for these cars. I am trying to slowly restore a 1976 Olds Cutlass S 2 door and parts are like hen's teeth.
  11. That rear end looks more like it should be on the next Camaro, not Corvette. . .

    I think the 2014 Sierra designers spent some time in a Ram . . .
  13. This is the new 2005 Malibu, a swing and a miss. They need a new 2008 Malibu...
  14. The World's Original Crossover Sport Utility Vehicle? Really Toyota?

    Now, why didn't they bring THAT here?

    that is supposed to only be a stopgap measure, later they will be designed together.
  17. picked those up last week!
  18. Saw a Cadillac XTS at Walmart yesterday.
