thank you for noticing. yes moltar, the HHR, magnum both feel limited in outward vis.

oh really? honda is god because they can't sell any RL's which have no power, no style, cost too much and are front wheel based as well? tell me how the RL is a market star? tell me why when you look at acura's sales lately they are great big negatives. tell me why the MDX costs 10 grand more than the lambdas. tell me why the rdx is close to 40k yet only packs a 4 cylinder turbo that outconsumes many of GM's full sized products. because the mks is a viable alternative to the ES lexus ? or the lower content a6's or all the glorified hondas. because the twinforce v6 with powershift will nudge 400hp with one of the segments first dual clutch trannies? because the mks is better than what's in your garage? I don't suspect you'll be owning an M3 any time soon. No one said this car was Jesus Christ on a stick. Go back and read, I already said this car is not meant to compete with BMW or mercedes. step back long enough to digest the message in the post before you go off with personal $h! again. you cannot seem to post without taking jabs at people and that is pure bull$h!. so cut the fricking punk crap already and grow up. grow some balls. when i comment on something its about the cars, i don't use posts to direct comments at people like you seem to make sport of.

yuk. just yuk.

new accords doors feel pretty thin and flimsy too

i think some hardcore long time auto journalists are upset that the new accord got bigger, and went the way it did on its interior (a step backwards). i also think they take issue with the accords 'premium korean' styling. new accord likely is a great car if you take away its styling issues and the probable press' resentment of the car 'selling out' what it used to be.

so funny all the backlash considering this car is better than 90% of the rolling piles of $h! that are in everyone's garage now. i can't recall what the power figures are going to be for the twinforce version of this car....like 370 or something. again, this car was not conceived to duel a 5 series. But to be a decent alternative to say, an ES Lexus...sure. Audi, Volvo and Saab and Honda have been selling luxury cars for years built on FWD platforms. Not ideal, but they still maintain a decent standing in the lux car pecking order. Look at Acura, the RL (really lame, with SHAWD!) TL (totally lame or thoroughly lame, take your pick) RDX (really dumb Xover) and MDX (just mildly dumb crossover). All front drive. Not to mention the Canadian exclusive EL (extremely lame).

MKS = gives town car buyers something new, provides upgrade from MKz. Provides a better alternatives to some Japanese lux sedans like Lexus ES, Honda RL and TL. Buick, DTS and STS buyers will cross shop this. Volvo buyers might even consider this. Fly again is spot on. This was never meant to duel the CTS. Lincoln is positioned itself below caddy these days. Not every luxury sedan needs to shred pavement like the BMW's. This package is a nice blend of euroasian bland luxury and tradtional lincoln style. It immediately is Lincoln's best product and has a long life cycle of updates planned. I hate how much the interior still reminds of my 500. The shifter and console area sucks. The front looks like my old Diamantes mated with a grand am. But I do like the new front. Ford was wise to redesign it before production. Truth is, I LOVE the CTS, but I would totally shop the MKs myself because its more commodious and still looks elegant. I bet it handles well enough for me. Twin Force and powershift would rule. Some might argue that Lincoln's current lineup can attract more buyers at retail than Caddy now. MKx sells well. The MKs should do well out of the gate. MKz has done well. STS and SRX are not busting sales charts for caddy. XLR barely sells. If you are a Lincoln+Merc dealer, you are doing better than standalone caddy dealer for sure.

GM ford etc don't use as much lighter high strength steel and aluminum because of cost. union contracts, ya know.

is that a subwoofer box in the cab or an electric battery? LOL why is this truck not here NOW?

it sucks we'll get a cadillac vue. the cts wagon chops will be mistaken for harry's maxx by some. gm's problem, too many platforms. caddy should have like 2, 3 semi exclusive platforms for nearly all their vehicles. the rest of gm could cover the bulk of the rest of their cars and crossovers with maybe 3,4 really good platforms. the multiplicity of their efforts is money and time wasting.

people are idiots because its easy to say something in a meaningless poll and its another when the cops show up at your door to take away your family acadia and replace it with a toyota matrix.

she has some value if you think of her as an animated blow up doll

i am currently email fighting a gain with someone who says the problem is all to do with cars.

first cost seems to rule in the USA

the leathers i saw still looked abysmal. the dashtop and center stack were the biggest improvements. the door panels had some improvement. they still did not swing for the fences with the redo, but the cupholders were good with the chrome rings and the shifter is nice. i wish the design of the gauge hood wasn't so lumpy.

word is saturn has a big surprise for detroit. my money is on saturn vapor.

when does this thing hit market

black or red or white would do. i guess orange is ok too.

you speak the truth. i was email fighting with someone at work recently (i am an architect...hehe mustang got to see that). she was bitching that cars pollute and need to get better mileage. i said emisssions have been cleaned up like 99% in the last 20 years or whatever. I said, do you see buildings have gotten 99% improved in that time? my point was, stop ragging on cars. today i saw there is an article....the founder of weather channel, a meteorologist, says global warming is a big sham.

su is 1 in the coaches poll but northern iowa is 1 in the other two fcs polls. iowegians. the iowegians need to be picked on more than fresno even. the streak is the longest in D1 period.

bumpin the topic for those that missed it a few weeks ago faithfully

egg me. i checked out some of the new chargers on the dodge lot here and i'll be damned if the interior tweaks are not a decent improvement. still deadly monotone black it was, but the center stack and gauges are much nicer, that doesn't show itself in pictures. the plastics graining was improved. still ugly as sin on the outside but i've had like 3 or 4 ugly cars in my garage in a row now so this would not be anything different. the LX cars are at least spacious and wide. Like GM cars were at some point before all this epsilon crap. just try and wedge yourself into a malibu these days. i was looking at an 08 sxt AWD that stickered for around 28. no side moldings or moonroof. are there going to be any 08 magnums?

they should leave the srx on sigma and redo the exterior. instead we get a nice cadillac vue. jeez.

not on sale before Jan 1, i think is the reason.

you rock.
