    Very cool, will be interesting to hear about the road trip rattles and road noise.

    Yes, with the Green movement and the fact that you can get some pretty quick fun cars to drive with Turbo 4 or turbo 6 engines without having to take it to a racing level, I suspect over the next few years a number of low selling performance auto's will silently go away.

    Is it me or is this just a boring car even with the updated style language to fit into the rest of the Predator family? People who buy these cars must be like British humor, dry dry dry. Blaw

    Your right that if you paid MSRP it was not a nice Entry level car. Yet while it was in production, at least here in the Seattle area, you could get a fully loaded awd RT model for around 18K or so, well below MSRP due to rebates and other money thrown on the hood and when you compared it to a stripped down toyota or honda, it was still a very good deal when you compared fully loaded awd rt to base stripped Honda or Toyota for less money. Maybe it was just a local thing, but I always could get far more out of the caliber for the price compared to others around here. Yes it was a plastic mess inside, but you had the VW approach of selling fully loaded cheap to try and gain market share I guess.

    Yes, I have OnStar on every one of my GM auto's as well as my XM radio. I rarely listen to local radio any longer when I can listen to my favorites on sat.

    Seems the world could use a total reset of pricing and costs to better go with the actual wages people make.

    Best way to get what you really want is to buy a 2 or 3year old Lease return that is done up under the GM Certified Used cars program. That way avoid the depreciation hit and get a much more loaded auto. Yeah, I thought about that. Not a huge fan of buying used, especially a sports car unless I know the owner and how it was taken care of. But you're right, the depreciation hit and options for the value are huge. We'll see what happens when the time comes to purchase. These end of model year deals are pretty enticing... I just purchased a couple months back a 2008 Trailblazer SS that was GM certified and over all, while I have a few nicks to get touched up and due to having babies in the back seat, so a few spots to clean on the leather and carpet, I am very pleased with the deal I got spending less than half of what this fully loaded baby cost new. I totally love new, but am all for saving money with a 1 or 2 year old car that is GM certified.

    Would you really want to kiss let alone reproduce with your cousin? Some how this is just weird to me though incest is one of the biggest search items for porn on search engine listings. Seems society loves to love themselves in one way or another.

    Awesome Olds, sounds like an awesome ride. I am also another person that loves to get out on the road and drive. I can just have tunes playing and enjoy driving. A great way to see america and enjoy a road trip. Too bad so many people want to tune out the world and road trips all for being hooked on Facebook or playing some game. This is the reason all my auto's have over 200K miles. I drive them and keep them in as nice as condition as possible.

    This one ton is a sweet ride. I always like this look and yes I know it is a football field long and wide, but nothing like Truckin!!! Just wish it was a diesel.

    Not sure why but these pics since I first posted this morning just kept scratching my brain and so after spending some more time looking at them, I think I know why. I know it has the Fake Double Kidney look of the BMW grill kinda, but these 3 pictures seem to shout out to me Buick Knock Off. Especially the 3/4 side pic or very first pic as it has that same waterfall look of the Buick.

    It is interesting that this seems to be an evolution of the iMID system found on Honda Civic GX CNG cars. Just expanded to cover their new EV version and to get more Honda Auto's with the Bluetooth phone and satellite access for navigation, road conditions and weather. So question begs to be asked, Why drag this out? Why do a version for the CNG, now call it something different and role this out to the EV Fit car and the Accord. Why not just role it out to all auto's so that people can buy with this technology rather than drag it out. GM does well with having their OnStar and XM/Sirius on all auto's. Honda wake up and realize, this needs to go into all auto's now.

    At least this is better looking than the current 2012 ugly Civic.

    Agreed that the big money and then cut them loose when their is not instant gratification of big profits is a problem in corporate america. Sadly as long as executives and boards of companies always look to instant gratification and instant profits over long term growth and dedication to all you will have this churn and burn business thinking.

    One has to wonder why the decision to pull what would seem to be successful models and send in new models only to have weak sales. I have never understood some of the decisions VW has made about the cars they sell here. The performance market for Pocket Rockets would tend to dictate that they should have their small performance cars here as they would sell in huge numbers. Even if one is not a performance fan, the styling is so much better than the bland stuff on the lots, one would think they would want to drive some buzz by having some designs that make people talk.

    Happy B day Zman!!!

    Does not surprise me, without a performance guy to champion a given car, the sales numbers do not support keeping a halo like this going. Plus the current GTR never really hit home to consumers the way the R34 or R35 did.

    SWEET, Off Road Loving!!!

    Bland Design language, bland build quality and just plain problems all the way around had led VW to their current status. They need to make major changes to get the product line going again.

    Clearly there are deeper marketing issues and he did not sync with the Board. Rule number one, make sure your in sync with those above you so you are all running in sync to win the race. Good Luck to him, but I think he never really was in sync with GM and did the move only for the $ and title. The GM ads during the superbowl was Great. Dave did not make it due to driving a Ford, Ford hated the ad and complained keeping it in the news for weeks. Great marketing!!!

    There reg, I fixed that for ya.... Too Funny!!!

    Is that the state where every brother marries their cousin or something? I thought their official tag line was "The State of official Inbred Living!" Actually, Kentucky does not allow 1st cousin marriage... like CA, FL, NY, MA and several others do. WOW, CA, FL, NY, MA still allows this??? No wonoder those states are so messed up! Very true, it must have been running rampant for them to have the need to create this law. I alwys thought it was common sense, but then imbreeding was the downfall of Roman society!

    Probably just as well to wait for the Omega flagship and will allow them time to fix the terrible dealer network over there. I agree get the Euro network of dealers updated and fixed, before shipping in more product choices. It should be a crime for a dealership to be allowed to call themselves a Cadillac dealership when they are a hole in the wall dump like a 2nd hand thrift store. But that is all the Rolls dealer is in Russia. LOL! They do need to get this network sorted out and organized right before they make the leap again. If they fail this time even with good product it will be a long time before they could even consider going back again. We are at Strike Two now. Rolls are 2nd hand cars in Russia! I agree with 2 strikes against them, they need to sort the network out, invest in proper luxury dealerships and then roll out the goods!
