V6 Twin turbo Fusion? Not bad. That is something GM needs to work on. I'd like to have that engine in my Regal GS.

SS 1LE · 01-11-2016, 03:39 PM

My daily driver is a '14 Fusion with the 2.0L Ecoboost, I like it a lot. I usually change daily drivers about every five years, I could definitely see myself grabbing a Sport with the twin turbocharged V6 and AWD next...

But, I am not a fan of some of the cosmetic changes, like that chrome bar across the back, but that could be fixed...

I can't be concerned with this yet, I have enough going on with exactly what new Camaro I want to order soon lol...

The Fusion Sport just shot to the top of my list for next vehicle if the plans for a truck don't work out

Of all the names they could have gone with, they chose Pacifica? I guess GM might as well bring back the Aveo nameplate while we're at it.

FenwickHockey65 · 01-11-2016, 04:12 PM

The two biggest surprises of NAIAS this year might be the Avista Concept and FCA's boneheaded decision to resurrect the Pacifica nameplate and drop Town and Country.

TastyBake · 01-11-2016, 04:39 PM

I understand their viewpoint of bringing back the Pacifica. Kinda like Ford bringing back the Taurus as its familiar. Problem w/ both is I associate the names with not reliable and bland.

Keeping Town and Country would have been funny as its sooo 80's and not even applicable anymore.

That Avista is pretty cool looking. I think that I see some 6th Gen with the front view!

SpeedIsLife · 01-11-2016, 05:03 PM

I see more Jag than anything else

ilirg · 01-11-2016, 05:10 PM

The old Ridgeline looked much much better than this new one, looks so boring and typical.

ilirg · 01-11-2016, 05:11 PM

Avista looks incredible, too bad the chances of it making to production are slim, and making it to production looking like that are even slimmer.

I was thinking the same thing. I'd like to see some more pictures before declaring it a flop, that I'm not impressed with what is shown above.

Bhobbs · 01-11-2016, 05:22 PM

Can anyone explain to me why GM revealed BOTH cars before the show yet didn't bring anything to actually reveal? That makes absolutely no sense.

Hilariously enough, the "seam" between the cab and the bed is fake. MotorTrend crawled underneath it to confirm.
