overall possibly. but trust me, get outside the very center of the metro areas and the groups you refer to are actually quite present in spades.

you mean you don't just sit in a tiny coffee shop in seattle all day or in the parts of san francisco and never go outside there but think that is all where its at?

the only time i test drove a bmw it was a base model (not perf pack) but i recall thinking the engine was smooth but not all that full of grunt. the CTS (old 54 degree v6) i drove the same day was more fun to drive. one other thing to throw out there. a friend recently got a new bimmer (traded an M3 for a new 1 series i think it was) had the car like a month and already had it vandalized. something to think about with owning a bmw. that cobalt won't get stolen.

agreed, if it had a real coupe roofline like the older ones it'd be a different story.

you can always spice it up with some baconsalt, too.

especially since cadillac will be down to two trucks only. escalade and SRX and who knows if the Escalade will even survive.

2 door jetta. actually, it looks like the civic, but far nicer. the civic is a joke. this looks pretty nice actually. The interior is far nicer actually. and it has horsepower too. better looking more power better warranty cheaper than the honda. EASY DECISION.

we already know they are substance influenced in CA

so ya think a hearty sirloin is good or will they hold out for the beef tenderloin?

all those college classes suddenly make sense......

LMAO! i wish i could share the wealth more.

camino, by the time you buy, there will prob be a used CTSv available for cheap

buick going chinese = tragedy

is hummer going to be owned by navistar or international or john deere?

someone can fetch the curb weight of that terrain in fwd garb. but if its about 3800 pounds and has the 4 cyl 6 pot, it will touch 30 on the highway or maybe even exceed it as the ecotec historically can achieve close to 40mpg. i have no reason to not believe that the equinox at 29/30 mpg the terrain will maybe be 1 mpg less hwy with its more upright stance. a lot of times mpg is more a function of curb weight and engine rpm as anything. a GC is going to at least be 500 pounds heavier and has much thirstier mill under the hood. now, with 6 speeds the GC mileage will be vastly improved, but really its not going to come close to touching the car based terrain. the reason the trailblazer got so bad mpg, the I-6 from GM was a fuel sucker, and the trailblazer was heavy. most real world mpg figures i have heard or read on trailblazers were in the 14-18 mpg range. One close friend who had an extended trailblazer said 15 was the norm with 4x4. my aztek will sometimes see 25 mpg and that is with the lousy 3.4/4 sp. the terrain is not as blocky and has the smaller motor and 6 speeds as i am guessing the weight is similar. again, i see no problem with the terrain coming close to the 30 mpg for a fwd version. often times too GM products will well exceed their epa numbers. not sure why, but they do. people with v6 malbus pulling 35 mpg highway. or impalas for that matter. i have heard of people pulling over 40 mpg in cobalts. GM's I-6 was a great idea but for some reason it was a major gas hog. not sure why.

i've never questioned its off road performance at all. it is a true jeep. now if the front end of this new one only looked like one......

WHY WHY WHY

it almost looks a little like a bloated and stretched cobalt too in the side profile this car really sets subaru back big time with any momentum it had. of course the machinery might be ok, but that interior is like an early 80's nissan or something

and the US has too many brands? sx4 side windows acura fender flares small bit of galant in the c pillar uninspired elsewhere if GM put out a vehicle that looked like this we would never hear the end of it

cobalt SS might just be a great used car buy in about 3 years. assuming the one you find hasn't been abused.

this would need to mesh with the IRS tax code...........if not, it has no chance.......

http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Marraige interesting reading. perhaps the govt should get out of the marraige business altogether........ alas, marraiges and divorces and property and transferring wealth etc are the main ramifications in civil order with regards to marraige so since it ends up in courts eventually which is why the govt has to dabble in it in the first place i guess. sadly, domestic violence also. those mormons got shot down long ago didn't they. i would actually consider that ruling to be quite significant. honestly if polygamy had survived that time period it probably as a concept would have remained and even outside the mormom world would likely exist in greater amount than you might think. i imagine that there will be a growing market for divorce attorneys in the future......

Chevy now has fallen below ford and hyundai in customer perception. And it may be close to dropping below Kia at some point. Under no circumstances should Chevy ever drop below Kia. point though - toyota seems to be dropping in status. maybe not much just yet. but their run i think is being exposed. at the expense of hyundai's rise. funny thing is CR is one of the biggest Hyundai bangers now. Amazing how such a lousy magazine can influence so many sales.

your definition of affordable must be way diff from mine. most bimmers i know start closer to 40k. pontiac has never, and can never survive in that area.
