Interested in hearing the opinions of the guys going to the Chicago Auto Show after they see the 2015 Mustang.

Yumcha

At least he didn't think it was a Cayenne or Panorama?

I've been to RK Motors a few times since moving to Charlotte. I'm going back early next month to see the newly added CLK-GTR Roadster, Lotec C1000, and GT40

That's pretty cool for a Camry.

just sat in M6 gran coupe. Oh my fricking g that is the car for me!!! It feels perfect inside the position the environment everything. The M3 was also very nice but felt small inside. I mean I know it's a smaller car, maybe I need to lose some weight. The M6 just felt perfect for me. The M4 looks like a C63 coupe too much and I didn't care for it. The M3 sedan, I think I can say this is my fav M3 they have done. Drop dead gorgeous.

Will do

srika

I partly take back the C63 comment... it's just that dang rear 3/4 window!!! it has that same arch - the M3 does NOT have it. the M4 looks quite nice from angles other than front 3/4, but it does look a bit bloated.

And also regarding the M6 - it's pretty tight in there - it's like a sports car. But there is a nice breathing room. Oh and the rear seats are hilarious.

such a redneck costco.. if you had the money, no doubt that camry would be in your garage.

I came.

srika

I went today and yesterday and forgot to look at the Mustang - glanced at it briefly once. I am going to go again, and will take a look.

charliemike

I missed the DC Auto Show so I'm curious what people who like cars think. Thanks mang!

srika

gotta say some more things about the M6 Gran Coupe. It feels like a small car when you're sitting in it. And for some reason I like that - because it feels really "personal". The entire driver's area is surrounding and encapsulating, and gives a very intimate and close connection with the car. And that feeling is bloody awesome.

ttribe

Do.Want.

Costco

Can't help it if I like dat dere 'murican V8 rumble.

Costco

Got it.

Good.

You better follow through on this... QFT.

srika

if you haven't sat in one GO DO IT.

ttribe

I'm afraid if I do, I will since I know I can't buy one.

srika

hey I'm in the same boat, for now, hey it kinda feels like getting a private dance at a strip club while on vacation ....

I really don't understand GM sometimes.

So they finally added AWD to the GS but nerfed the turbo-4 down to 259HP. And no 6MT with AWD. Doesn't make me that interested when it's $45K for an automatic AWD Regal GS no matter how cool it looks.

Then there's Cadillac, which has a 321HP AWD V6 ATS for $45k. Now the ATS is using the 3.6L rather than the 321HP 2.8L turbo-6 from Opel/Vauxhall ... Which is the Euro Regal.

They're different cars, to be sure. But this is why I'm not a fan of GM (or any company that does this). By compromising one car to protect another, you ruin it.

The GS should be $45k with the 321HP turbo-6 and a 6MT with AWD just like the Insignia. It'd be an alternative to the ATS and a real alternative to Audi, Infiniti, etc.

If GM is afraid that a Buick Insignia would hurt sales of the ATS, why the hell do they sell it at all? What is the point of Buick?

I've been wondering the same thing.

chill_dog

I've liked that Camry since the first time I saw it at RK. I was more impressed with it than the LFA that was sitting next to it. Made me wonder why Toyota couldn't make it like that for consumers (sans Nascar engine, obviously).

I was wondering wtf you guys were talking about the Camry (more impressed than a LFA????) but this was before I clicked the link... wtf..... 680 hp at 8500 rpm?? but I couldn't find any info about the drive wheels at the link - please tell me they converted it to RWD. and how did they get that engine to clear without a hood bump or cutout??? oh yeah LFA > all lol

srika

had to hear what this thing sounded like.......... OMFG.

I noticed

I'm in love with the Gran Coupe. What a stunning machine.

Costco

I've always felt that even in pictures, the CLA's proportions look very strange.

As a concept, that looks awesome.

But the production version... the headlights are too big, and wheels/tires too small. The belt line is also too high. I'm sure it's for safety, but it's the automotive equivalent of someone who is all torso and no legs.

Aman

I must be in the minority, then. I think the 6 (coupe and GC) looks like a bloated whale.
