  1. a story i read on cadillac today said the twin turbo is a 3.6
  2. how much for the new CEO? I suppose some of the 150M is needed for the fire truck to put out fires.
  3. sent one out the door that exact color this a.m. was looking at a Cruze, he moved up! LMK what your mpg tests turn out. too bad you didn't get leather SLS..... I'll be real interested in your comparisons to other cars like Jettas, and anything else. 2013 brings back NAV / infotainment with pandora, bluetooth streaming, and other stuff. The 012 non NAV radio has the better sound. 012 didn't ship any nav units cars anyways.
  4. made my day!!!!
  5. fold em into GM. they buy their steering wheel controls from em anyways.
  6. whatever the buyers with money tell them what they want, is what they would be best to build.
  7. I'll second that, mr. Ocn.

  9. in the interest of as many diversified energy sources as possible, i don't mind some corn ethanol....but i strongly disapprove of it being mandated in the fuel supply (like here in MN) and i am not huge on subsidizing corn if it means its for fuel. ethanol blend is plain and simple an ag tax. i get 10-15% less mpg than the pure small engine gas, so i use more, that means i pay more for gas all around and it gums up my car. how is that good for me? note: brazil thrives on sugar based ethanol.
  10. the exterior is still stodgy and dated, not that the interior is all that great either.
  11. always loved it. 88 GP is the car that still looks fresh....must be that .29 cd
  12. the allure of buying a car off amazon is nice. but i can tell through my exp. as sales, the price and importance of the merchandise is such that you do need a person, or group of, to ensure that the transaction is handled properly, trades can be measured, service can be taken care of, and to present the merchandise at least at a minimum level so the buyer understands the implications of all that they get into. Also, you cannot return a car without penalty, unlike returns at walmart. I do think there would be a role for custom ordering a car direct from the manufacturer and having it delivered at a dealership (the dealership that bids for your business to sell that car at your price). Then the dealership is just about delivery. Lots of things that happen at the dealer would be taken for granted by the customer pretty quick if d-ships were gone. It's the responsibility of the d-ship to have people on hand that do not repel buyers and actually enhance the service of buying a vehicle. In general this culture of i buy everything on line is stupid to a point because you can't touch the merchandise before you buy it, and it takes too long to get. There is an even bigger now factor on cars than people believe. And no bricks and mortar car place wants to be the test track for places that sell them online only.
  13. solar > electricity > plug in and selling power back to the utlity companies (who got bought by big oil)
  14. pump up the company with more execs...... their new marketing tagline, straight from billy joel "we didn't start the fire" i would guess the dude was sick of GM after 30 years anyways.
  15. riviera- a lot of the dope teens and pups these days who didn't get driver's licenses right away or were too consumed with gadgets, who follow the online reviews like it was a smartphone, they might be the ones not test driving. they have no clue to evaluate anything in their life themselves. People rolling leases point, too....very valid.
  16. CUE, MyLink, Intillilink, it's all the same
  17. is this so their vehicles are not ugly and crappy anymore?
  18. give it time, with discounts and rebates and GM card stuff, etc. the base ATS's will need those discounts to move and be used for advertising price leaders. there will be one at 30k ,i have no doubt.
  19. http://www.cheersandgears.com/_/articles/chrysler-news/chrysler-dealers-repair-a-certain-number-of-pen-r895
  20. http://www.cheersand...ntastar-issues/ yeah, the first run of them or whatever, the problem was not 'small'..... good running motor. WHEN it's running...lol it IS a chrysler
  21. ah, the good old days//////
  22. i dunno, that might be the next escalade
  23. i could get an ILX for 30+ or i could get a base base ATS for only a few geezle more.....with about the same size engine.....
