face it, we all know who the dumb consumers are that are buying / overspending on them. its mostly women, or guys p-whipped by the women that own them and dictate they buy them. chances are also that same group is either militant letsbefriend or at a minimum not very appreciative of men in general. probably as a whole very soft politically. would rather save a tree than....well, i won't go there. MY GOD at least buy a rav4 if you're gonna by a japanese cute ute.

face it. in the flesh this looks blander than the photos. its GM, so the interior will be plasticky. the ecotec gets ragged on for not being smooth to begin with. BAS is considered bargain tech, even if its simple, its dated coming out of the chute. 4 speed auto is 1986. needs a 6 speed. biggest problem, if its like the aura.....epsilon chassis. car is too narrow and seats are too low. mid-older buyers want elbow room and seats that sit a little higher. GM keeps doing stuff that haunts them. cheap looking wheels, ergonomic problems, cheap out on powertrains, plasticky interiors. I'm beginning to think this car won't do a lot to change the sales charts. even if the 3.6/6 speed combo is good.

people seem to forget the most important thing. the crossfire is an OLD c class in drag. the engineering and tools to make this car were paid for LONG ago.

an 'associate publisher' at 24? PLEASE. maybe toyota can use him in their ads.

argh! YOU BEAT ME TO IT!

our sexretary at work today, its her birthday. she got a good squeeze last night to celebrate.

CRV is ugly overpriced underpowered garbage. not sure why it is selling so well. Hopefully the vue starts gouging into it soon. they have more models that are in decline than increasing. the RL, oh yeah, THAT's a success, NOT.

personally i dont have issues with fleet sales as long as it is the older models.

i knew the escape/mariner was selling like fire. despite flaws, it reamins attractive for many. edge=what folks want, despite the curb weight. i predicted min. 50% increase but now i think it will double sales. taurus=barely out yet. wait till the lots are stocked. lots have questioned Ford's 'reskin' efforts lately but for ebing cash strapped, i think they are paying dividends. i haven't approached the wife yet about doing the double edge/taurus tandem in the garage. the acadia is just a bit too large i think.

put that 4.5 litre diesel in the chinese park avenue and bring it over.

at 27 grand, it makes more sense for a bunch of people than does a solstice or sky. or miata.

20gb is NOT a lot of music. my 3-4 year old Ipod has 40gb. The first mp3 jukebox i bought like 6 years ago had 40gb. 20gb is less than 5000 songs at crappy bitrate. 20gb of music may seem like a lot but typical mp3's have atrocious sound quality. If you used a higher bitrate mp3 or some other sort of lossless format you'd quickly find out 20gb is very paltry. I have like 1000 cd's myself. A friend has well over 2000. Not to suggest everyone has a library like that, but seriously, someone who buys this car in 2008 will want storage capacity in 2013 that still seems usable. the cts ought to have at least 60-80 gb, or some way to swap out the drive later down the road, easily. You say it plays 'dvd audio'. I am referring to 5.1 surround DVD-audio format. not simply just the downmix sound track of a typical movie dvd or even the pcm track off a dvd-audio disc. I am asking if it plays the high res surround track off a dvd-audio formatted disc. and where's the voice activated audio commands like ford sync?

because you feel sorry for the guy at the body shop and want to give him some business fixing bent frames and chassis and bodies?

max bob looks tired and puffy

bluetooth is a requirement. phones, you know. 40gb? pathetic and paltry. where's the dvd-audio? Acura has that. voice activated ipod control? ford sync has that. i dunno. looks like they still don't have it all.

nice try. it still makes me convulse and want to pour muriatic acid all over myself. wow, toyota's big accomplishments are a new turdra, sequoia, land cruiser, and highlander. all fuel sucking heavy trucks and all top drawer ugly to boot. so much for 'eco friendly' toyota. not to mention scrapnel comes standard now with the arrogant sales experience. so much for 'prius nation'. The only way now for toyota to go even larger and uglier would be to put a chrome grille on rosie odonell and test her out in consumer reports.

wow. that's hideous!

toyota's grey plastic interiors are like death/hell on a stick. one time i test drove a sienna van with gray interior and after i was done I wanted to curl up in the fetal position, crying to mommy 'make it stop, make it stop!' while I furiously poke myself in my eyeballs several times with a bic pen.

the same argument he uses against this seems to me to apply to sh3tboxes like the fit and yaris too.

wow, a junior high wet dream for me. speaking of, those seat belt boots by the front seats look a bit too erect.

hehe, we just re-upped on our cell phone plan last night and got three new samsung phones.....for free. 3 phones, 3 car chargers, 2 bluetooth headsets...for like 80 bucks total. i phone may be cool but i can't even justify that.

not attractive but that won't stop chicks from buying them

no, the opposite is true. people buy the patriot or compass as opposed to other brands. they would not buy a liberty otherwise. the nitro cannibalizes the liberty.

rainsense wipers, but only a 4 speed auto. ah, this is our GM.

gorgeous truck, BTW!
