No offense taken, I am feeling too good and considering opening another bottle of wine. You have an awesome weekend.

Europe will not close much overcapacity without long painful strikes and some economic unrest. Some more automakers may have to go into liquidation for the European car market to right-size itself. I agree, I expect the next 2-5 years to be very painfull in Europe and if the European Union survives then we will see some real growth out of this area. The socialist system will either take total control and destroy competition to keep things status quo or we will finally see a merging and radical change to allow true growth and reduction of debt. The world cannot continue at this pace of debt and survive.

Knightfan you can roll your eyes at me any time you want, but with a bottle of wine in me and an end to a very intense work week, I will always smile and take it to the bank.

So GM has expanded their CNG fleet. You can now get Vans that average 16mpg and are good for 250 miles on a fill up. 16,000 of these vans were delivered last year to people. http://gas2.org/2011/02/10/gm-is-getting-serious-about-cng-fleet-vehicles/ Prety amazing to see that GM has 17 alternative fuel vehicles and 5 hybrid versions. http://www.media.gm.com/content/media/us/en/news/news_detail.brand_gm.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2010/May/0518_fco_cng I think those of us that get in on this will end up being where the rest will be in the next 5 to 10 years.

WOW, so sad to hear this about the cute little cobalt

Man I hate to say it, but is it really worth the time or is it better to just trade it in and get something better built?

The dealer should take a hint that people want comfort, new fresh place to visit with nodes to the historical past. They want to know they are buying a product that has a rich history and is here to last. GM can so build modern places that are comfy to visit, showing their rich history and inovation and let the customer know they are here for the long haul.

WOW Freakin amazing!!! Why would you buy such a beauty and not drive it. This is a freakin awesome car.

Yet even you my dear Balthazar cannot deny the facination we all hold for this little baby. Thank god this week is over, the wine is flowing and damn do I feel good!!!

While I agree with all that is said, lets wait till we see the proof in the pudding as GM has teased enough times, AKA cried wolf that until the actual product is here available for sale, we cannot totally rely on their word.

Turbojett, I think this is getting close to being a supercharger, I wonder just how much difference it will truly be. Electric driven versus belt driven?

http://www.scuderigroup.com/ So I have to say this engine technology is cool and I wonder when we will see it in auto's. I know this engine technology has been mentioned in other threads. Thought I would start a thread dedicated to the Scuderi Engine. Cool updated demo's with new updat PDF files to read. What do you think? Will we see a Scuderi in the future at GM, Ford or some other Auto company?

Awesome review update. Thanks for posting.

I hear new Turbo Truck on the Horizon for you.

WOW, Safe Flight with the crazy midwest storms.

Astra at a bottom price with warranty would be a hidden gem.

I agree, if the CarFax shows that the van has been taken care of, then you should get a long life. Otherwise pass.

It would be cool to have an SS family of engines. Turbo V8 4.8L, Turbo V6 3.0L and Turbo 4 2.0L For the Truck /CUV/SUV side of the Family. Turbo V8 4.8L, Duramax 4.8L, 2.8L This would be a cool SS engine family.

Yea Hoover does suck well I agree Olds, it will reduce lag, but not eliminate it. I think we will see a ton of new technology over the next 5-10 years. I still think we need to move to CNG poweredvehicles.

Bummer to hear this about the Cobalt as I liked the looks of these cars.

Freaking awesme little ride. This has Excitement written all over it. Fun, Stylish ride for any person to enjoy.
