gm keeps saab or they lose any sales in 'scandinavia'.

according to epa, less than a malibu i think

that's about 15,500 after red tag and incentives though only morons pay MSRP on cars

if the goal to trim brands i required, then i think you have to do chevy, buick/pontiac/GMC, and Cadillac. I'd like to find some way to integrate Opel into the north american setup. i would be fine with saturn and saab going away as long as the pontiacs and buicks acquire the euro/opel influence.

just mowed through a 1 pound container of fresh cut pineapple. YUMMY!

nice car! but DANG that airbag cover is huge..LOL

a certain buickman is probably saying that is what the deal is, at least to getting rid of dealers.

there is no harm in saab being marketed in the cadillac channel. and it could survive with a 9-3 (hatch/sedan/wagon/CVT), 9-5 (sedan and wagon)(both of which would be getting smaller, right?) the 9-4x, and IMHO saab needs the aero-x or that other concept roadster, badly. saab took a major hit during the SUV time by not having a full size family hauler but methinks there just isn't that large market anymore for fringe players like saab. saturn should become the 'pesky' niche brand again maybe. become creative with saturn, sell it in malls, downtowns, or added onto chevy or BPG or caddy where it makes sense to mix product. saturn should be brought to the customers. maybe a handful of full dealers and then rely a lot more on creative sales outlets. as an example, why not rent stores in malls, right next to the apple computer stores. if the saturn product was right, it could begin to draw off that crowd. or, the downtown business crowd, just get the effing product in high traffic areas! saab though, needs to be in a dealer network and to me it needs to be caddie's rogue little cousin. they need fresh product and more sensible prices!!!!!!!!!! and with saab staying fwd based, really, that leaves cadillac off to start with the new BLS alpha and then CTS. Caddy badly needs a fresh DTS flagship (which i would make AWD standard) BLS rear or all wheel drive. in the US, sedan maybe only. maybe a coupe or hatch too. CTS rear or AWD. volume line. sedan, wagon, coupe. DTS/STS combine the line. DTS is luxury trim, STS is sport trim. large! SRX stays i guess! even though its a tad weak to me. Escalade looks like it's moving to lambada? i think a seriously upscale 2 row crossover above the SRX would work for caddy if it had style and performance. think cayenne competition but not so ugly and fat. I would revive the XLR on sigma or alpha and just provide a kick ass 2 seater with top level performance but not on corvette chassis unless it made more sense. the price needs to come down on that one. i still say hummer has viability! H4 needed to come online and H3 needs an interior infusion and gas mileage infusion.

definitely she was an icon for our culture. beauty should be celebrated no matter what the form and time period.

i need to ask, did you undergo a life changing experience owning your TSX? or at a minimum did it enhance your life? not trying to be an ass, just asking why other feels this opel interior is HELL in comparison to a typical honda (i.e. super plastic) interior.

and the current passat has all those things licked?

because you have already sat in and test drove an insignia. you must have flown over to europe to drive one!

dear god that's a reach for trying to paint a bad picture. the enclave, all things considered, is doing quite well in this time.

it's really unfortunate that chrysler has changed hands like it has. the 99 300 and may products since, very worthy. cab forward. neon, pt. the toxic landscape we live in these days that only reinforces how well we read consumer reports and CNN......it's a shame that cerebus is stewardship of Chrysler. As much as i like Ford and GM i also do not think chrysler should fail. if we could just cut toyota out of the equation......

and can be bought after incentives for 12 grand. lets see the rabbit i can get for 12 grand. thought so. astra+200 dollars = astra+armrest.

4 door. the four door is at least 2 grand more. 4 door plus alum wheels where are you at. price out the 4 door rabbit with slushbox and alum wheels. where are you at? HELLO g6.

or they could just fleet dump like toyota and hyundai do.....

between the saved by zero and all the geriatrics driving toyotas these days, i'd say toyo is the one with all the 'senior citizens' these days.......

i still think GM and Ford etc should pull out of NAIAS and yank the food and hotel from the leech press. IMO, they should cancel the entire show. give noone anything to write about.

oliver north has over time become a bit of a folksy hero. hero?? a noticeable person who still has a little sense of patriot about him.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,465524,00.html good the whole way through.

the aztek just crossed 98k. to date still just tires and brakes and two front wheel bearings replaced under warranty. call it ugly if you will but i've got near 100,000 miles out of it and no actual out of pocket repairs aside from minimal maintenance. i want to get a new car but honestly i am wondering if i can just do another 50k no problem in it. i paid 16 grand for it new, and could probably get 6 on the private market for it right now. it gets 20+ mpg. between lost value (not including interest) and maintenance costs, it's maybe only cost me like 12-13 cents a mile to run in 4 1/2 trouble free years. call it ugly, but she knows how to ride me.

toyota is not an example to use of a overall quality car.

an ex girlfriend of mine has a blog site where she writes about her scrapbooking all the time. I honestly can say that never once on her site has she come close to anything that has held my 'how the hell is this gonna turn out' interest like this? Mr BoRgEr, not only are we glad its only acid, but you sure know how to tell the story in cliffhanger style. glad you averted the bad thing.

i don't want to see what happens with the dow tomorrow.
