Ever Been Attracted to the Opposite Orientation?
regfootball replied to The O.C.'s topic in The Lounge
yeah, see, i have never had a doubt about what my preference was, and never thought anything about it. and more specifically not having to fight or conceal and finally reveal it. and now that i am getting older, i do think it really sucks that our culture is set up so that people feel they have to conceal it or repress it if they figure out how they really are and just simply want to be themselves like that. in that respect, i feel fortunate not having to think twice about it or feel confused about it or have to worry about how people might think of me. its just handy when her hips are wider than her waist / gut and i generally also like it when her shoulders are close to her hips in size. if her hips are like way wider, than houston, there may be issues. all that physical eye candy just confirms it over and over and over. -

Ever Been Attracted to the Opposite Orientation?
regfootball replied to The O.C.'s topic in The Lounge
interesting statement. i think i have a lot more women friends than guy friends, quite honestly, to me they are a heckuva lot more fun to talk with and joke with. certain types of them anyways. the ones who are not psychotic female princesses with major ego problems. it makes me think about my guy friendships. love to talk sports, and of course about women, cars, sure. but i am not big into monster trucks, and action movies and shooting things with guns. but honestly, most days, if i didn't talk to any guys about anything, it would be no skin off my back. I really enjoy conversing with women more often. to me, its easier to talk to women about emotional issues to a point. maybe for guys who prefer to talk to guys about emotional type stuff, then it might be natural to assume they may be drawn to that aspect of another person/guy if that is what they are in to. -

only BMW can justify 40k+ price on subcompacts. not worth it, but if you got the money to burn i guess you will spend it if you have nothing else to spend it on. Seems silly when there are lots better places to spend or give one's dough. i know quite a few folks who will buy GMC's but won't touch chevy. despite that there is not much difference. it's brand snobbery just like the asian luxury brands. that TSX is a nice honda. oops, it has to be an 'Acura' before i buy it. LOL. a coworker just bought an aura, and already has a vue. think he'd buy a chevy? Um, no, scott. he's a saturn guy. think he's buy GM if they kill saturn? prob not. Killing olds did not preserve share. i'd love a Pontiac G8. think I'd prefer to have a chevy badge, again, NO. FIL wants a new car. MIL doesn't want a chevy. it will be pontiac or buick for them. as long as all new products from GM continue to be excellent like we have been seeing lately, and the model count remains manageable, 8 brands is fine. unless y'all want to buy out the dealers and their franchise agreements. hummer and saab are simple niche brands anyways and BPG is one brand essentially. we have chevy, caddy, BPG, and Saturn. saab is like triumph or ducati motorcycles and hummer is like ktm or something. doesn't pontiac sell more than chevy in Canada? think of our Canadian friends too, please. instead of going to great efforts to kill our American brands, let's talk about how we can get rid of all those extra Asian brands instead. We don't need them. Let's kill Toyota, Subaru, Mits, Suzuki, Mazda, Scion, Acura, Lexus, Infiniti, etc. That makes a hell of a lot more sense to me. I don't need those brands clogging up the US landscape. the Germans and stuff already cover most luxo segments just fine and VW covers enough everyman segments. Nissan gets my exemption and honda does too, honda is more than just cars, even if their cars are bland suckage, they are not pompous bland suckage. -
maybe vibe don't get it because it is a joint venture nummi car.

no no and no nothing about a man that is remotely interesting. to me, anyways. ICK ICK ICK. however, the chicks on the L word are pretty hot. wait, are we talking about republicans and democrats? i usually lean moderate conservative but there are some hot looking dem chicks out there i'd have no problem talking higher taxes with. 2 gay guys i know have told me that 'everybody likes b00bies'. something universally liked about those things, i say. i told my wife, 'everybody likes b00bies', she just shook her head. i still think its true. at least the nicer ones. -

no, it is relevant. because its about perception. some think BMW is luxury. some do not. some think GM brands are not unique enough. Others disagree. -

hertz is one big toyo customer.....camrys and corollas and ravs a plenty at hertz and others these days scion was supposed to not be a geriatric brand. no reason their products couldnt simply be branded as toyotas. acura-level of interest in acura cars keeps declining like its sales. tarted up hondas, why not get rid of that brand? there are parts of the world where yes BMW does not sell 50% of its cars with A/C. hardly what i call luxury. -

no its like in Europe or worldwide or something. in the US 100% a/c but that is a perfect example of perception. elsewhere, in many parts, BMW's are workaday $h!boxes like everything else. notice there are also no 4 cyl BMW's here too -
its all those fleet and yaris sales.

people seem to not get that the outlook will have been on the market 2 years before the traverse hits, and the outlook will likely be phased out for a smaller x-over. in the meantime, these 2 years, it has helped saturn fill out an all new lineup and redefine the brand. the outlook is a transitional product, the chevy is meant for long term volume, which is why it gets its own plant. the astra will only be here for 2 years and change too, why stop with the outlook? we don't need the astra here! bottom line, another worthless article that has already been done. GM already has 8 brands, i'll just say, why do we need another article about the same old $h!? seems a lot more redundant to fill paper and write the 57th article about the same old thing than it does to try to market 8 brands of cars. its the same $h!. he is ripping GM for creating excess product, he is doing the same thing. another article about something we have already read 100 times over. it's classic pot calling the kettle black. put your fricking writing skills to work (assuming he has any) writing about some insight into something we haven't heard before or something that breaks new ground or new ideas? for example, how about an article about posche buying VW and if VW Americanizing its lineup is good for the brand? Or, how about an article about toyota's fleet dumping, or huge incentives on the turd, or how scion is a worthless dud? How about an article about 'will Buick's resurgence in China benefit the brand in the US?' or why do less than 50% of BMW's sell with A/C or why do they have vinyl seats and still are considered a luxury product here? Why does Acura exist? -
earth to seigen Mazda = more interesting vehicles at a much more realistic and attractive price. honda / acura is getting punked my mazda and quite honestly deserves to be. when honda steps up to the plate to create an entire vehicle experience to justify its acura pricing structures, then we can talk tsx = nice jetta (GLI even beat the tsx in a c/d comparo) new mazda5 more interesting then new tsx fer sure tl = nice accord rl = ? rdx = cx7 with a chicky interior mdx = not quite a cx9

yaris sales alone explain customer stupidity. get a versa at least, instead. -
February 2008 Sales: Volkswagen of America
regfootball replied to Lamar's topic in 2008 Sales Archive
glad to see vw holding its own. anything besides hoyotha is fine with me. -
bluetooth and remote start standard. radios have mp3 jack, but not direct ipod control from what i can tell. i thought that was supposed to become optional. it's no ford sync, but still the car has 360hp. i can forgive no sync with that much mojo under the hood. in fact, no powertrain changes at all. no DI, no sticks.

Some late '08 changes for Malibu...4-cyl LTZ package, some wheels
regfootball replied to caddycruiser's topic in Chevrolet
caddy, that was the combo i admired on the lot yesterday. the LT with those wheels. REALLY nice. even like the gray interior and normally i hate gray. malibu really is a dapper car. still 2" or more too narrow, but man, its priddy. really makes the cahmree look like a mutt. new accord too. saw an 07 accord today with the enterprise sticker on it! is honda fleeting now too????? -
charger has good incentives though, and the 6 cylinder models are ok priced to begin with. charger is a decent value, so i think it attracts the buyer who wants a rwd car at a good price.
-
what is apparent, only small to mid size cars that have good pricing are doing well right now. a few crossovers too, but it sure tells you about the economy.

avenger and sebring do not deserve to outsell Aura. yikes. chrysler will be giving the farm away this year to get any sale, in case you need a new car, cheap. not a bad thing, but they will be whoring, dat be for sure.
