anyone can go to Cadillac forums and do the same exact thing. engines shaking (3) http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadil...ne-shaking.html strange "farting" noises (5) http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadil...assing-gas.html broken dash tray http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadil...-wont-open.html bluetooth compatability/VR issues http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadil...phone-help.html http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadil...sts-forum-2005- beyond/67966-verizon-xv6700-bluetooth-problems.html http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadil...tooth-info.html http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadil...ooth-calls.html failed door handle http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadil...ide-handle.html broken widows (I'm not going to count them all) http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadil...-shattered.html jerking issue http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadil...gishy-jerk.html intrusive traction control (I thought the STS was a sportscar ) http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadil...-some-time.html griding brakes (he also has 4 other problems including broken window) http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadil...rake-rotor.html multiple electrical problems http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadil...rake-rotor.html quick scan of 3 out of 42 pages

If the Impala is fine, then the Camry is exceptional. The Impala interior isn't even competitve w/today's econo-boxs. No, the gauges are always lit. You can hardly read them otherwise. That's subjective. The Camry's target is 50yr olds, the colors/shapes are meant to appeal to them.

I don't consider the Impala's gauge cluster equivalent to the Toyota's boring is far more subjective, than a quality appearance The Camry is perfectly positioned to remain #1 on the sales charts.

I don't see it.

At least the Camry uses an LCD, instead of green dots to form a display.

and this is supposed to compete w/an Accord.

I'm not too sure about that. IMO, new Camry's interior is best in class, GM's interiors aren't even close. at least the damn clock is seperate from the stereo display just noticed the carpeting is also on par w/the Cutlass if GM doesn't get their cars together soon, their problems will only get worse.

seriously our old family 1989 Cutlass Ciera used the same fabric, not only was it ugly, it was all ripped up as well

If Toyota sold vehicles like this they'd be out of business no upholstery on doors nice choice in fabrics. who supplies these mismatched plastics Rubbermaid? I’ve owed 1980’s toys w/better display readouts gauges fitting of a 1990’s car my vision's fine, maybe some here will find it beneficial to pay a visit to the local optometrist

you can tell this based on some low-res pics

too bad you'd need a 550i 6MT to run the GS450h and still lose GS450h 1/4mi 13.68 @ 104.23 yet edmunds gets 15.2mpg for the Northstar http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drive...088/pageId=1462

NHTSA Vehicles are crashed into a fixed barrier at 35 miles per hour (mph), which is equivalent to a head-on collision between two similar vehicles each moving at 35 mph. The NHTSA frontal crash rating crashes the full width of the front of a vehicle into a rigid barrier. This maximizes the energy absorbed by the front of the vehicle so that the occupant compartment is more likely to remain intact. The full frontal ratings produce high level occupant compartment decelerations, making them very demanding of the restraint systems, thus providing better information on the safety features and their performance. In offset crash ratings, like those performed by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS) http://www.iihs.org/, only one side of a vehicle's front end is hit, thus a smaller area of the structure absorbs the energy from the crash. Offset crashes are more demanding on the structure of a vehicle, and intrusion into the occupant compartment is more likely in these crashes. NHTSA does not currently perform the offset crash rating. The results from NHTSA’s full-width frontal crash and IIHS’ offset frontal crash rating complement each other. They can be used together to assess overall frontal crash safety in terms of the effectiveness of restraint systems and the integrity of the occupant compartment. euroncap Frontal impact takes place at 64kph (40mph), car strikes deformable barrier that is offset.

I'm suprised to hear this from you. [email protected] on stock 6speed is teh slow

Unlikely, I scored a perfect on the SAT reading section comprehension.

The 07 model does look tons better

http://www.familycar.com/RoadTests/ToyotaY...PhotosSedan.htm I gotta buy one of these http://www.familycar.com/RoadTests/ChevroletAveo/Photos.htm

GM did a great job with the Aveo, just like their entire line-up (excluding Cadillac, GMT-900's) I mean take a look at these scores http://www.euroncap.com/images/results/sma...tasheet%203.pdf OMG, that POS Yaris got a 5star rating http://www.euroncap.com/images/results/sup...tasheet%202.pdf Toyota really missed the mark on this one, the Chevy Aveo I gotta say looks better (movie-star glamorous), and is engineered to usual GM levels of perfection

Yaris totally loses this one

edited and improved w/new pics. The Aveo doesn't even look like an econo-POS. http://www.chevrolet.com/aveo/photogallery/

Toyota's supercar is front-engined, I'm thinking they did this in order to incorporate a hardtop vert version. Should have midmounted it w/a soft top. 5.0L V10 3050lbs 560hp@8750rpm $120k those are my estimates

He was refering to the EVO VIII MR, which is a sub-8min. But it still isn't near the Vette

unless it's carbon fiber, no way Toyota can think anyone will pay that ridiculous sum edmunds is reporting BS

1.5yrs till another Accord, good luck for the G6
