but not as capable as fwd or awd. or as convenient. or as hassle free.

last thursday here in snow central, waiting to pick up my kid from school in heavy snow. two cars in five minutes got stuck in the school driveway ON FLAT ROADS and needed to be pushed by humans to get going again. One was a rear drive Lincoln LS, and the other was a BMW 3 series. I was LMAO. Everyone else in their FWD or AWD was spinning and having a rough go, but it was not only ludicrous as hell to see those helpless rwd people begging for help to move their cars, it was also another sad reminder why generally, the other 99 percent of people who don't frequent car sites and brag about driving uphill in a snowstorm both ways on the way to school when they were young, prefer to spend real money on something besides rwd only in challenging climates for all season cars.

steering and stopping is as important as gription on the drive wheels and like any body selling snow tires will tell you.....you must have them on all four corners. you actually screw it up more by only putting snow tires on the back.

no its about WHAT PEOPLE ARE SPENDING THEIR MONEY ON IN THE SHOWROOMS a- what do we want to sell b- WHAT PEOPLE WILL BUY c- is the customer wrong (i.e. whould we tell the customer its about brains and common sense?) d- NO YOU MAKE WHAT THEY WANT TO BUY SO YOU CAN KEEP SELLING PRODUCT by your reasoning, niether BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Infiniti, Cadillac, would have added AWD to their sedan lines, nor would chrysler have hedged their bets on the LX cars by offering AWD as well.

and to circle the wagons back around....not only would that cobalt cost half as much to pay for, even the mpg is better as well.

wait you talking about the prius????? now that's FUN....or wait, is that EXCITEMENT

doesn't hide the fact that scion is being ridiculed and generally ignored, now, like 5 years after it was spawned. Toyota needs to kill brands and get rid of underperforming and inefficient marketing channels.

as long as the lefties, greenies, CR bangers, college professors, journalists, uptight rich whiteys, self obsorbed youngsters and trendies, and otherwise confused 'can't make up their mind themselves so someone has to tell them what to buy' set are happy, that means GM must cut their second biggest selling car brand.

sadly, this is a result of too much asian influence in auto design. or to much anime or what. i sure hope at some point we move past this immature style language.

neither is good. calling the fit 'design' is like calling rosie odonnell sexy

the lexar one i have has a little visible gauge on the outside to be able to see how much space it has left on it. very handy.

last time i went chevy shopping they had a buttload of XFE's on the lot. but the cobalt that appealed to me most was an LT because i think doesn't it get different tires than the XFE Low rolling resistance skinny tires are nice from an MPG standpoint but not from a traction standpoint.

i don't need to. i don't stock my garage with overpriced girl car / fashion accessories with limited function. besides, i made more money in the last 3 months of last year and more off my leftover vacation pay than you probably made the last 3 years. and i don't spend it on overpriced toy cars.

the malibu is eating the auras lunch now. not fair why it is. but it is. the epsilons overall plus impala cream the g8.

saturn and pontiac both outsell buick. why is the buick brand being given the chops? this goes to show you why GM needs a housecleaning. g8 sold well. i like that it did, but rwd champions need to also get that you compare rwd GM sedan sales to FWD GM sedan sales and what is the percent. again that is why they make so many fwd cars. reagarding scion. lets see how much more their ass gets spanked when the Kia Soul starts outselling scion division singlehandedly and by a margin of 4 to 1. even with the ugly ass nissan cube trying to spoil the party.

hmmmm, i'm reading Jan CD right now where the Cobalt finished far ahead of the Lame ass mini in a multi car comparison test.

wait, the leftists told me only hondas and toyotas go 250,000 miles!!!!!!!!!!!

the fit's not the holy grail. it looks weird, the interior is cheap. it might be sprite for its low hp and it probably handles well. but really its been put up on a pedal and sensationalized. in lower prices its probably worth it. but like boi said, its dorky. and people will get tired of redlining it to get up a hill.

polo looks nice. a bit dull, but interior looks well done, if plain. problem is this car won't be much less than a rabbit. with options etc.

yeah. point being, if you vist their site then you can see the pics. its worth it.

MORE CRUZE PICS!!!! awesome side view and awesome interior shot. MAYBE this is my next car.! http://www.netcarshow.com/chevrolet/2009-cruze/

wow siegen, those pics are tremendous! SHARP ASS CAR!!!!!!

i thought PCS wore the skirts in the household

80's music EXCITEMENT!!!!!!!!!!

a nice hefty tax on shipping might stall the desire to produce EVERYTHING in China. at SOME point its gotta become cost prohibitive to ship $h! from halfway around the globe to here and still be affordable. that's the tipping point we need to reach. funny, but lots of greenies also support free trade. odd, considering all the energy wasted to ship $h! half way around the world. even our retailers are becoming foreign based (Ikea). our car companies, retailers, beer companies. Don't worry, it won't become a worry for the social ass elite until we start seeing all our banking and insurance and medical go overseas. I am sure some bastard is trying to figure out how to get rich off doing that some time soon.
