Think about the point of getting this information. For research and to track drivers habits. No law requiring this to be implemented in all new cars sold will pass with a privacy requirement. It won't happen. If the data is fully anonymous the only thing that it can be useful for is average data and raw distances…

Except, it won't be anonymous. Nothing electronic ever is. There will be a way to identify the car and where the information came from no matter what they do. It doesn't work if it's fully anonymous anyway.

Annnnd the Pontiac Vibe, man, that engine is like the neighborhood bicycle.

I don't know about the NSX, seeing as a lot of reviewers loved the steering feel but not the cowl shake in it. Granted I've never driven it but it wasn't particularly rigid at the time either.

That's the spirit, have a star.

When the 2016 Mazda Miata was revealed just a few short weeks ago, we were short on details. In fact, we had no details. But thanks to a tipster, we can now confirm that the 2016 Mazda Miata will be powered by a 2.0 liter SKYACTIV-G engine in the USA and a 1.5 liter engine elsewhere.

It definitely has the rear wheel arches and end of a Countach though. I like.

Sooo it's a mini A7? I don't understand the point of something that would destroy A4 sales.

Cadillac will be, hands down. Because Alfa won't be competing with them. If we're really going to wait to see if the proof is in the pudding, let's see if Cadillac gets beat out by Jaguar, or retakes third place from Audi.

If it is complicated to you, I suggest going back to school where they taught you that 6 was bigger than 4 and subsequently bigger than 2. Honestly.... The naming convention is consistent, you know what you're getting, it is SIMPLE. Two letters, one number. Maybe an extra letter for a performance variant. That's…

The problem with that though is that people no longer do that. What is the best selling luxury brand in the world, hell, even the US? BMW. And what have they done for years? Sold on the alphanumeric. The reason why luxury brands do this is because at that point, car purchases are no longer emotional. They are for…

Honestly people whine so much. I seriously cannot believe it. So Cadillac, for years, languished as an old person brand and now the one guy who wants to shake things up and possibly FINALLY get rid of the image and people lose their shit. The same people, who for years have said it's an old person brand.

Honestly you are making this incredibly more complicated than it has to be. There is no reason why the model names have to change when they are given the V treatment. Because that's what it's always been, an afterthought to make Cadillac more sporty. They took a run of the mill CTS and then stuffed an engine in it,…

Is it just me or does it seem like all of the gas engines, excluding the V6, are all kind of dogs? I mean, it seems like there is a huge jump between the two I4s and then the V6. Is this true of the lower BMWs too?

Allllllllso, this was probably written by someone who doesn't speak English at all so you're point is a little moot.

Man, today has got to be a slow automotive news day.

Are you referring to de Nysschen? Because I didn't catch a single whiff of whiny bitch in his response. Those coming after him for coming up with a name people don't like? Hmmmmmm, methinks she doth protest too much.

Also, no mention about how they're finally getting rid of the anemic V-6 and good, although somewhat coarse Turbo 4 and getting back to bespoke powertrains. I don't care much for the way the name thing shook out, but the one thing that is keeping Cadillacs from competing with it's German rivals outside of the…

Thanks for the reply! I had always kinda wondered if it was just growing pains that led to most of the changes.

Well, the biggest problem we have here is the usual suspect. Government incompetence and an inter-agency dissonance. Government is people, we tend to forget that and that goes for the military intelligence and civilian intelligence agencies as well. Now one can say that the President isn't setting the agenda…
