------------- IMO I totally disagree with you, I happen to own a 2006 Escalade ESV Platinum Edition. They are far more than a tahoe or Yukon Denali could ever be. They are a flagship luxury Vehicle.

Just take along a torch so you can weld over the hole. Then you have a nice warm spot in the car.

Cleanliness

I personally do not like Fish Tanks as they end up always having a weird smell over time and even when clean still have a stinky smell to them. But very nice looking tanks, good luck.

----------------------- And they say Americans build some ugly cars.

I am glad you like these old Buicks, but for me, IMO they are ugly auto's. I like the the Buick SkyHawk of 70 / 71 personally. That was a nice car. Or better yet is the 83/84 MonteCarlo, the last time GM built a great looking Monte Carlo

So I would say this gives them a 50/50 chance they will still be around in 10 years. Maybe it is time for a few more auto companies to become history lessons.

Don't forget to pack the duck tape for the edges so it holds it all together nicely when you use the SawZaw!

----------------------------- Remember WWII, Japan said that since they could not beat america in war, they would beat them economically. They have now done that in almost all ways except in our Computer / Technology sector. Here we still mostly lead, but I see many getting lazzy about that also. Sad state of affairs.

-------------------------- Nope, Sat in the 2009 models on the ford lot here in Kirkland WA, looked at the pics of the 2010 and still not impressed with ford products. Only ford I ever owned was the only one built by Mazda for Ford, their 1991 Ford Escort GT. That was a hot little number and then the next year they dumb it down due to complaints from the insurance industry. But still not impressed with the ford products. Even the latest Ford Mustangs I looked at still are not that great, especially when they have rust all over them. Just helped my wifes Boss buy his new Expedition XL or what ever they called the longer version. Much nicer than his 97 Expedition he had but not as nice as my GMC or Escalade. Only thing I will give them points for is the fold down seats into the floor on the 3rd seat option. That GM should have done from the begining. But back on Topic, The Cash that GM is burning has to stop, they have got to make the hard decisions and not drag out the end results. Cut and kill product lines now even my loved Hummer line. Kill em and move forward with what can really survive in todays economy.

----------------- Yup the Silver model does have that FWD look, but the Black is Hot looking on the outside then you get inside and it looses all sex apeal.

Me LOVE, Me Think this will make Wifey very happy and me too once I get a V model. Makes for a lovely weekend get away model.

I will pass on the Fix or Repair Daily auto's. Too Small, Plasticy ineriors and not up to par. Back on Topic, I really hope that GM does make the major changes and cuts they need and get the loans to survive. It would be a sad day to have the General go Bankrupt.

I personally HOPE that the Escalade does NOT go UniBody, otherwise my current one will probably be the last one I buy as I preferre the Body on Frame design of full size SUV's.

FWD belongs in Chevy Only. Luxury should NEVER be FWD. Either RWD for entry level auto's and AWD for the higher end models. End of story.

------------------------------------------------------- They might use a nice variety of high end materials, but their execution of how it looks to me is subpar at best.

DT7 IMO should NOT be FWD or RWD, but only AWD. That is a luxury level a car like that should have. End of story. Hopefully this is all rumor and they are not going to flush the last 3 years of engineering work down the drain do to some Morons Political schedule and personal ambition at the top.

While I love the outside styling, the interior I think is one of the worst I have seen for a high end luxury car. Sad, so much love into an awesome body design, but no care on the interior. Sounds like an Obese American who goes to the plastic surgeon to get the ultimate look they want and yet ignor the inside and death is but a short time away.

Oral

YOUR THE MAN! I just do not seem to interface well with Google, just does not work with my way of thinking. Thank you for finding it. 908 S Ralph St, Spokane, WA, United States Yup I know this area, if I get a chance I might just drive over to Spokane and check it out. One nice thing is that it is for the most part very dry there so not the wet rain we get on the west side of the mountains. Would be a good restore project for a father and son team.

"EXCITEMENT!!!!!!!!" I actually am excited to see this car built, I think it would do well for Chrysler if they survive.

To hell with all those that think global warming is a myth. To hell with all those that think global warming is a threat. How about To Hell with all Conservatives and Liberals who want to debate this issue and yet still do very little in their own life. End result, if we want Earth to be green and be better, each and everyone of you needs to do your part to recycle, clean up trash, plant a tree, where possible if the Idiot Politicians have not passed stupid laws to ban customization of auto's take an old Carb auto and restore it or customize it and put in a fuel injection motor with modern emission system. End result is you all can do things to make earth a healthier better place to live. We do not need to have so many people Preaching about this. NOW BACK TO "EXCITEMENT!!!!!!!!!" Let's post more Dogbert, that dude rocks!!!

LAPD commits to a large enough quantity, they can get them much cheaper than what we pay for them.

I so HATE Google, nothing they really do is user friendly, Stupid Unix people. Even their street view is not easy to find. If anyone has figured out where this is in washington I would be interested to know. Thanks,

:smilies-38096: I can tell you on the Run from Seattle to Sun City California to visit my Grandpa, my Dad's DTS averaged 24 miles per gallon. I consider that pretty good, around town he gets abot 19 or 18 miles to the gallon. The northstar is a sweet engine.
