hey, if he wants to manage transportation costs, and its cheaper now to buy then a year from now, its a good idea to get rid of the one he has if thinks he may have ot put money into it in the future.

holy crap NOS. I think we all need to buy you a year supply of beers. you ain't hurting in the babe department, are you.

i agree totally. any incentives they have had lately are kind of eyewash. they want to hold margins and are fine sacrificing volume right now because it plays into their pity play.

my dad likes his DTS. I was like, meh. too relaxed for me.

i thought Navistar or someone like that was buying Jeep and they would trash the compass and patriot in that scenario. then, chrylser and dodge would get parted out to china.

the only way the new accords interior does not SUCK ASS is if its tan / tan leather. sit in one objectively....in black with the horsecrap cloth. its crap too. thin chintzy doors. the camry is hardly much better. cheap plastic abounds. the fur inside an altima is akin to what you see and feel when you pull your long overdue furnace filter out of your furnace. criticize the GM offerings fine but you lose all cred citing the current gen accord and camry as interior standard torch bearers. new mazda6 interior isn't bad but the last one was bad, especially in medium gray, vomit inducing. the CX7 interior in particular is cheap and terrible and pretty much a perfect example of the typically cheap interiors that now plague japanese label products (see Pilot, Fit, Yaris, Element, FJ Cruiser, Xb, Xd.....list goes on)

it will probably end up being CHERY flavored.

yet there are plenty of morons who shed 30k plus for a 4 pot TSX and even more morons who throw big bucks at camrys and accords and altimas that are not really as good of cars as people make them out to be. the g6 is not class leading but it is not $h!. who here has driven an 09 G6 with the 6 speed automatic and new interior trimmings? I've driven the 09 not yet the 09.5. the g6 is a decent car and i find it absurd that anyone who thinks the car is substantially deficient to the malibu which was a c/d ten best car without the 6 speed 4 pot. styling and interior are the major difference and that is simply a fashion issue. and no one can use many other choices in this segment as defense based on fashion as the altima, accord, sonata, and camry are plenty ugly and equally non fashionable.

chrysler is toast

the versa i drove was horrible. cobalt is far better. FAR BETTER

astra/astre....CLOSE ENOUGH!

g6= grand am. 100k units a year g8= grand prix 25k units a year solstice= solstice 25k units a year kill vibe give to saturn or something kill g3 kill g5 next astra= (someone suggest a name) sell concurrently with saturn while they are shut down 25-50k units a year 3 models and a roadster. niche enough for everyone? remember the g6 includes coupe and convertible. grand am pricing would get adjusted down. grand am truly can become an affordable car. it becomes the chevy that does not exist. only 2 engines, the ecotec4 and HF v6. 6 speed trannies only. i did to some degree like the idea about transforming the aura into a pontiac. maybe someone could photochop the g8 front on an aura.

wrong. g6 should be grand am. g8 should be grand prix.

the current fusion actually kind of sucks ass, its a mazda6 which was a way overrated car. the 010 updates though with the new powertrains will be interesting to see if it transforms it into a half ways drivable car. the base g6 is more fun than the base fusion currently.

maybe SDC can buy saab.

70 dollar oil changes like VW's? negates the fuel savings IMHO.

BRUMSKI! c'mon blu. i know even the guy guys like b00bies too. EVERYONE LOVES B00BIES! one of my girlfriends even confirmed it.

chrysler would be better off returning to cab forward. the hood car thing has played out. its unfortunate these images leaked because now the people who have seen these will prob not want to bail out chrysler anymore considering how weak an effort this is.

what like an avenger? the mazda 6 only got worthwhile a few months ago. the altima is not the cats meow, neither is the camry or accord. drive them all like i have and you quickly find out there is not much substantive difference between them all. all $h!box midsize cars. its more about fashion then anything in this class of cars. some of the functional difference that can be evaluated is related to size and cargo capacity and stuff. the g6 trunk is small, but most cars in this class have inadequate cargo holds. only in the last gen now have the rice models wised up and now the accord altima and mazda6 finally have people space too. and funny, they have been ripped for 'getting too big' now. I am like WTF The current taurus is about the only sedan suitable for family use because its about the only one large enough to be useful for family and people hauling. and those better packages, check the price on those because sometimes its a matter of how much more do you have to pay to get the 'maybe its a better package'.

at higher price levels i don't think the g6 is a good buy, but most of G6 sales are lower trim units and as far as what you get vs. what you pay its a fine value.

what's his budget?

i give hyundai credit, they are trying to be toyota with more benefit and they are on their way to doing exactly that. toyota should be worried. the accent is a good car and better than yaris and offers much more value for less money. this is why toyota should be very afraid. now that people buy hyundais as an alternative to lexus, i can see how hyundai may really start to eat toyotas lunch from the bottom end also.

pontiac should bring back the grand am and grand prix names.

here's what good about the g6 interior that others are nelglecting to say -spot on gauge placement and red backlighting -best door trim of the 3 GM epsilons -simple dash vents, big and round, no complex breakable louvers -handbrake -no silly accordian door over the cupholders -chrome accents now are nice -power seat height adjuster -radio and CC placement is spot on -the new steering wheel is great to grip besides the fact that some of the buttons feel cheap and it looks a bit cheap. it feels great to hold which is why maybe its in the corvette too. -the seats are decently supportive. -g6 cockpit feels sporty, try that for feel in your sonata -usb and bluetooth now available -gaues are spot on and red backlighting (yes this bears repeating) by the way people this car gets great mpg with the 4 cylinder and pretty decent pep to boot.
