  1. small cars have gotten so much more livable and drivable. I think people still buy as big as they can in many cases, but college kids for example can't afford grand prixs anymore. they can only afford small cars. and second family cars more and more are becoming small cars. it means that GM should not think of small cars as penalty boxes.
  2. vette! duh! that's always near the top. chinese PA is hot too. H3 is a nice ride! Equinox would even be a cool as $h! vehicle if they gutted the cheap interior and put a decent 4 cyl. motor under the hood.
  3. G8 probably. GXP. Saab 9-3 i like, as the HHR, malibu and Aura, CTS, Astra, Cobalt SS, Lambdas, really like lots of GM stuff. and damn, i am shopping right now and I still like the Fords better but two cars are still in the very highly probable on my list.... the HHR SS turbo and Saurn Aura 4 cyl. Once i get a chance to try the 4 cylinder with the 6 speed and paddle shifters, I will know if its something I can drive everyday and be happy with. The 4 speed is damn good with the four cylinder and ecotec revvs so nicely at 80+ mph. I spent half a day drving my FIL's grand prix with the 3800 yesterday and this was right after drving the Aura again. I would much rather have the 4 cylinder Epsilon Aura then the W body Grand Prix with the v6. The Aura shocked me, it would be a tremendous commuter car, and would be excellent on road trips too. That's why I want to try the 6 speed. The HHR is so practical, 4 comfortable adult places to sit, and lots of cargo room in a unique package. Best part of the HHR, nice dash and gauge cluster, with 4 simple round vents with closable directional covers. Perfect.
  4. motor trend suks, maybe they will be wrong.
  5. right. GM get off your ass and get this car here now. make the ecotec turbo an option please. that really is an awesome interior, kudos!
  6. i dont think the base passats are too spendy, but put an automatic and a few options on it, and yeah its too pricey.
  7. drove an xr coupe again today. yup, the engine is the dealbreaker. can't take the drone on the highway. too bad, the rest of the car is pretty sweet. especially when you drive the aura 4 cyl right after. i think its really making an impact on the aura sales.
  8. forester might be killing the CRV which would be justice served IMHO. forester hits a big target with women and all that.
  9. their large cars TANKED
  10. someone got a BORREGO?
  11. OMG the passat got killed. Jetta does well because the SE is priced right and recently they have had the wolfsburgs, good package great price.
  12. can i get a job as a 'plastics graining consultant'? seriously! is there such a thing! the architect bit i've had enough of! kudos to chrysler for acting fast to try to correct the issues with these cars.
  13. i really like the Astra and Auras upswing. I see lots of Auras now that they offer the 4 popper. Aura is a great buy for the everyday commuter. this could be a turning point for saturn getting their mojo back. Impala is a nice car but looks like it is getting cannibalized by Malibu. Chevy needs to get creative and really package the Malibu in ways that will motivate people. Special packages and such with lots of features for a good price. g8 sales are not good. But look people, all those little FWD crackerboxes are keeping pontiac alive. g5 sold 2600 units! And you wonder why they have that stuff in the lineup. dealers need something that will keep the doors open! H3....OMG
  14. mother of GOD THEY are effed. vans are holding up ok though.
  15. tundra sucks and so do its sales
  16. grand marquis rocked the charts! escape was.....down? edge and mustang held surprisingly well. economy = people only want or can afford to buy small and cheap right now. 2200 flex....not bad.
  17. already a used 09 honda TSX at a local dealer here. 200 miles on it. must have sucked. or the owner read the bad reviews and couldn't live with herself. if honda didnt make TLs and TSXs and RL etc they could easily move 2.2 BILLION accords each year. THERE IS NO DOUBT.
  18. cupholders sunroof mp3 player connection / control, none radio wasnt made idiot proof for AMURCHANS 6 speed trannies paddle shifters high MSRP no bluetooth only 140 hp / no turbo option 4000 rpm at freeway speeds no sport seats or 18" wheels for the 5 door no sedan 18" tires are not all season only black interior tell ya what though, i am waiting to see what this months incentives are, at the right price i could totally be ok with one for awhile.
  19. nice improvements. i like the caliber SRT. a real stealthmobile.
  20. i am certain if the people's socialist republic of california could, they would attempt to legislate to get rid of your diesels too, or make them cost prohibitive, just like here.
  21. coworker says 30-31 mpg for an 08 saturn aura 4 cyl XE 4 sp auto.
  22. Jesus Christ people, we're talking about an 11/12 k car here. Fits are 5 grand more. BTW, FIt has no power. Light or not, 105 hp doesn't cut it no matter how much you stand on the gas. Cut the Aveo some slack now. Its got a tidy interior in leatherette and is affordable and they seem to have fixed the mpg issue. And the yaris still looks like crap in many ways.
  23. good luck. red would be the color i want too. the info for me on the armrest is comforting. i also like you see the value in the big rebates. a lot of car for the money at that price.
