Commented On: Lincoln downsizing models, possible compact car and small crossover in the works

This would be an excellent way for Lincoln to directly compete with Lexus HS hybrid, if Lincoln drops in the Fusion/Milan Hybrid engine.

Keep the luxury and make it green, and Lincoln has something going for it...

Commented On: First drive: 2010 Buick LaCrosse

I think it's comical how you believe with this one car, Buick is making a complete resurgence. At my age, I don't know what a great Buick is...I wasn't alive for the GNX or the GSX, which I hear were fantastic cars...I'm in the generation that Buick is petrified of...The one that the stigma of Buick as inflicted...As I get older, unless Buick does something over the top, I will NOT buy a Buick (not saying I won't buy a GM, but NOT a Buick)...

Hahahaha...driving a foreign car is out of style and Gas hogs...Which foreign company produces gas hogs???...I really cannot think of one...It's the American brands that produce Gas hogs...

a degree and disposable cash ultimately means people are going to flock to Buick...? How is GM on the move if only a month and a half ago they went bankrupt? I understand this whole GM-renovation is slowing making waves, but they're still offering vehicles that are sub-par compared to foreign brands and still duplicating unnecessary vehicles to clog the streets (Equinox/Terrain) only to remain on the lots of dealerships hoping to be passed over GM's next slaughter...

I do care for the American brands, but none of them are really offering anything special that have caught my attention...

I see a LOT of an Acura RL in the rear of this car...far too much chrome...Buick believes luxury = chrome everywhere...
Otherwise the styling isn't bad...

I really hate to hate on a company that's trying so hard to clear the stigma from their name, and target a younger crowd...I'm 23, and I know Buick isn't shooting for my age, but I know that my parents (59/60) still consider Buick a car for Seniors...and I feel terrible for Buick because at my age, they will always remain a company that builds cars for Seniors...as long as I'm in the financial bracket to be able to really chose what type of car I want to drive, I doubt I'll be visiting a Buick dealer, let alone sit in a Buick if it's not taking me away to or from an airport, or if I'm driving with someone above the age of 75...

The Enclave to me is a waste because you get more stuff for cheaper in an Acadia...You don't even get LED taillights on the Enclave and it's priced well-above the Acadia, which they're standard...

I'm sorry Buick...I know you're popular in China, but you're going to have a tough tough tough time ever getting someone in my age bracket to commit to any of your cars...In the US, Buick should've been shuttered and Pontiac should've survived...

Commented On: BMW releases full details for new X1 SUV

I can understand BMW's idea of saturating the market with a vehicle for everyone's needs, but this vehicle looks odd and I cannot find where it's going to fit in...

If they're looking to suit urban professionals, wouldn't they focus on the X3? The X1 to me looks almost go-kart-ish...and from the price of things, it'll probably skyrocket from $30,000 to upwards of $40-grand with only a few options available. I think BMW should've stuck with the X3 and kept the small SUV suited only it's MINI-brand.

Look at the X6...the thing looks bald on the top from it's lack of roof-racks...and I can tell you, I live in Northern Jersey and it's rare to see people driving an X6...

Hell, it's the first time seeing the X1, so I think it's styling will slowly grow on me...

this looks fantastic! The top reminds me of the Liberty's sky slider...

Commented On: Chrysler dealers fire back at proposed franchise rejections


Motor Authority 1,406 Views 5 comments
Chrysler needs to lose these dealerships. Over the past weekend, I visited a few dealerships looking for one of these fabulous deals on a Liberty. I visited dealers which were on the list hoping for consolidation sales but nobody was budging. Plus all the dealers had some "reason" why they weren't closing. Pathetic. Being a devout Jeep owner, I was hoping for some deal but nothing that special. I was quite disappointed, now I am awaiting that $1000 check from Chrysler to stimulate me and push me toward a purchase.

Fiat must be doing damn well to be constantly in the news trying to eat up all these companies...

Commented On: Preview: 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLK


Motor Authority 112,584 Views 32 comments
The design is nice, but there's nothing that really stands out about it...I mean it's a gorgeous car none-the-less...But the previous model has something about it that really stands out...this one looks rather plain

When I first saw it, I thought this was the current model out now, until I saw the rear. The front looks almost identical to the current model post-facelift. The rear looks more like a CLK...

It will still sell, and it will still stop people in their tracks, and people will gawk in awe but Mercedes could've done a better job.

Commented On: Telesto Ventures forms new advisory team as bidding for Saturn intensifies


Motor Authority 1,834 Views 2 comments
Can't we find a suitor for Saturn that is willing to create and keep it an American company, instead of outsourcing for vehicles, probably from China. I understand GM needs to dump whatever it can to gain some expendable income, but find someone that's willing to keep Saturn a decent car company, and hopefully keep it an American company as well...

By the look of things, Chrysler will soon be Italian (which isn't a horrible thing) and GM will be so dwindled down, it will probably drop to the 4 or 5th largest car company instead of being at the top. Only Ford will be left...
