So where did you find a rebate on the Ridgeline or Pilot?

Technically automobile mag likes the car. but the feature is there more for advertising then actual use, that and journalists are the last people to figure out how to work any form of technology.

at least backup camera is available/standard on the LS460. the system isn't faster than a good driver.

Toyota controls huge marketshare in Japan

what does an SAV (rofl) exactly need such a meaty steering wheel for. Nobody and I mean nobody is going to try to cut a corner in this. This isn't a true BMW and an insult to the nameplate.

no news, I'm guessing it will launch at least one year after the new Tundra.

lolHopefully Mullay can help get Ford in the black soon.

the accuracy of the article is questionable, but I hope those numbers are true.

If GM is doing so well, I wonder why Ford is having so much difficulty.

I'm confused....are you sober?

-it's annoying -it's detrimental to the door speakers

GL450 won CD's review http://www.caranddriver.com/comparisons/11...450-4matic.html

it's just the internet people...sheesh.

That's not true, Lexus SUV's sales are declining. BMW does have good lease rates, but that also is partly because of high residual values.

I like how BMW stepped up the game with the 335i, it's a little expensive and heavy but worth the extra money and weight. As far as the performance gains go, turbocharged cars easily pick up hp, but Vishnu is looking for easy money (not to mention the owner is an idiot). BMW computer's are known to secretly monitor all sorts of data in order to deny warranty replacements. Replacing turbos, trannies and engines isn't cheap, and if anything breaks BMW certainly won't cover the cost. I'm suprised BMW didn't seal the ECU like I hear they do in turbocharged Audi's. Rally built EVO's and STI's / GT-R's, Supra's and Porshe Turbos can cope with the extra power but that doesn't indicate the 335i can also.

So, why do you still own this car?

BMW navi is nowhere on par w/Acura's BMW audio is terrible. BMW interiors offer zero warmth. I don't find BMW interiors appealing. Besides a lack of reliablity it is their only real shortcoming.

You're not analyzing 2004, or excess inventory And GM has at least cut production on the GMT900 SUV's twice the year, thanks to overestimating the market. GM's failure would be bad for the welfare of the American economy and Americans in general. This is hardly something I'm looking forward to. GM is quite capable of building worldclass vehicles, but they have severe managment issues obstructing this. Outside of Toyota hybrids which Toyota's are doing so poorly in terms of fuel economy when compared to EPA estimates? The Camry hybrid brings hybrids to the general market. Comparing the Vue to the Highlander hybrid is pointless since there are no actual figures to compare the two. On paper the Vette out accelerates, out brakes, and costs less. Don't see how the Viper looks better on paper. Because they are selling hybrids easily. Hybrid technology has plenty of untapped potential. And Toyota has no interest in playing follow the leader. They have found a technology which they have 1000's of patents and can dominate. I meant in the real world, not a marketing gimmick. GM has been consistently posting the same losses every month for the past 3-4yrs. I've heard for years GM has hit bottom and can't go lower, we'll see soon enough. ANd GM's profitiablity returned last quarter, prior to that they lost some If GM's managment wasn't terrible this would have occured 10yrs ago. Rather than posting $5billion+ loss/quarter

Selling to dealerships, theyre twice the # of Tahoes on dealer lots than there should be. And I'm not sure how this is supposed to be unfortunate for me. I disagree Toyota's strategy works better, in the marketplace Toyota gets all the credit, the Aura hybrid isn't on sale yet. That and nobody wants a me-too hybrid. GM is far too late to the game. If GM's hybrids are so superior, the German's eagerness to embrace Blutec should indicate DCX and BMW aren't all that confident in their co-developed design. You do realize hydrogen is at least 20yrs away. That's too far in the future to matter now. This is a Fargo article, so I'm a Fargo2.0 if anything. I believe GM's managment is terrible and I'm not the only one. The fact that GM is constantly losing ground to rivals nearly proves my assertion. Doesn't make its price cheap or permanent.

I'm glad someone like Fargo tells it exactly the way it is. The GMT-900 SUV's have run out of steam exactly as Fargo predicted they would. This is based on September sales and a ~175day supply on the Tahoe. Coincidently, when GMT900 SUV sales drop off GM begins selling GMT-900 trucks, hence why GM is merely limping along for now. According to Fargo's future predictions in one year the GMT-900 trucks will be in the same state as the GMT-900 SUV's are now, that is selling poorly. And what does GM have planned from there? Very little. Is this a suprise? Nope, Lutz thought the GMT-900's would sell as well as the previous model. He was wrong. Lutz now thinks gas should be taxed to European levels. He is an idiot w/o the GMT900 GM would instantly die. Lutz thought hybrids are waste and Toyota loses money on them. He is wrong here. Lutz will only build hybrids for image perception and nothing else. So basically anyone who buys a GM hybrid is an idiot. Brilliant insult your own customers. Lutz is wrong about everything. The fact that he still has a job, proves GM has zero solutions to their problems, and GM's management is basically worthless. Until GM"s managment is replaced, GM will continue struggling or GM gets lucky and gas prices go down significantly.

No, I've never seen a glowing review for the Corolla. And there are much better alternatives which is exactly why Toyota is delaying the next model by one year. As far as the superior models go: The Golf - unreliable, which defeats the purpose of an econobox, zero brand loyalty. The Civic - I don't know why it doesn't sell better, a bit over the top I suppose. The ION - widely considered the worst car in its class Cobalt - it's just as mediocre as the Corolla, and it sells fine. The Mazda3 - no brand recognition, zero loyalty

I have yet to see a poor review for either the Camry or Corolla anywhere outside of C&G.
