yeah cuz everyone in north america knows what an opel is? ?????????

there are so many more forms of entertainment these days. yet clearly the nba did not benefit from having the most boring team ever to win again. lebron is what everyone wants to see win. not the plodding spurs.

honda sure has no ability to design anything original these days. like with the civic, i am sure they will be trying to appeal to young video game tech heads. camry has the geriatric set now so honda's nice is younger and cooler. new malibu is looking better all the time.

derivitive. mid nineties prelude meets late nineties cougar.

it's alright and has quite a bit of BMW in it....mated to typical UJS cheap door panels. defintely sportier and more interesting than the camlee.

can't remember where i read it. i think it was motor trend or c/d. it was a blurb in a sentence.

that is awesome! you ought to find out if buickman sold that car new.

how could Mr. Stern permit this crap? EVERYONE HATES THE SPURS

new Xb weighs 600 pounds more. HOW WILL TOYOTA explain this to the ecoweenies? And people rip the Vue and Acadia for being porky. image all the extra fuel sucking and all the extra Co2? the Xb and Xd don't have real impressive fuel economy ratings.

no, he's busy cleaning up shreds of metal from the engine bay. or trying to figure out why the new Xb and Xd get such poor gas mileage.

the 5 series looks different with different color combos. For example, white with black interior (and light colored interior accents) really makes it look nice. I have not liked some other colors. While I sort of like the overall exterior look, I dislike immensely the business of the rear end and sculpted deck and schizoid taillights. The eyebrow front lights bother me. Mostly what pisses me off about the 5 series design is the long hood short greenhouse proportion and stody upright pillars and small windows. the previous 5 series was moving towards a more aggressive proportion. The current 5 series throws it out and goes for the stodgy long hood and upright cabin look. And it has the tiny windows thing going on. It isn't a real sporty look. It's more of a stuffy formal car look. And it bothers me. It's too old school and too traditional. I even see the G8 as being a major improvement over that because on the G8 the front axle is pushed forward more to lessen the impact of the long engine bay and the hood slopes more than it does on the 5 series. The G8's A pillar is more rakish and the rear tumblehome is much nicer on the G8. I like the larger glass of the G8. I also like the simple clean rear of the G8. One thing I do like about the 5 series is the door sculpting below the windows at the door sill. Probably the classiest door side treatment I've seen in recent memory. Bottom line, the look the of the 5 series is too stuffy, but i could look past it if the drive is good.

i would have offered to give her the furniture in exchange for favors returned to me but the wife was in the house so that probably would have been a no go.

take 68's advice. rip off their head and pee down their throat. so i advertised some furn. on graigslist and this hot chick comes out to buy it tonight. as we sliding it in the trunk of her jeep, she starts apologizing for having such a big suv. I'm like, 'what are you upset about, no one is going to trade in a vehicle for themself and a dog to just get 4-5 mpg better on something newer.' she was all impressed with that. she must be catching flak from her friends or something about driving an suv.

as f'ed up as the war effort is right now, please know this isn't really a war about WMD's as much as it is a war designed to aid in finding and removing Saddam Hussein. I still find it comical that no one 'gets that'. Perhaps the most evil human on the planet. We found him, got him, he's toast and six feet under. Does that mean we should still be in there, running around in circles? Probably does mean we need to get out. Here's the deal, we are not in there with a full effort. People in this country don't get what war is about so they limit our resources. We are namby pamby in our commitment to anything because the softies in this country (90% of the population) think we make more of a difference making pretty signs and talking about global warming than we do to talk collectively as a nation and put forth the needed effrot to have full extermination of the pest. We do it in the name of votes. I am sure if we had the resources and effort the govt really wants, we would wax ass all over that region and leave a definite message. Problem is those folks over there are wacko. We could kick their ass with a lead pipe till they pass out and they would find a way to keep taking a beating over and over and over in the name of Allah. War is ugly, and WWII was the last war we probably put forth the proper effort. Truth be told, no one int he USA anymore really gets the amount of sacrifice that's required as a country to fight a real and proper war and win. Except for those oldsters who are almost no longer with us. As a nation, we have no idea what it takes to win anymore, or how to fight. We have no fierce desire or belief to succeed. We have no concept of what it means to join together for a cause as a ####ry. We care more about American Idol and what is crawling around in Lindsay Lohan's snatch than we do foreign policy to protect our nation long term. The movers and shakers in the country as a matter of fact would prefer we fail as a nation and berate anything with an American basis. The grass is greener in Europe and Asia and everywhere else. Meanwhile, our enemies become more resistant like viruses to antibiotics. It takes more and more to kick the bug. We shouldn't have gotten into this war unless we could go full frontal in our assault. As it is, we probably only invest 10% of the effort we should. America is a collective nation of pansies and the other countries know it. You can bet if we put forth a real effort in Iraq you would have no suicide bombers and stuff. If we just went over there and let loose to get rid of the pest, I think you would see it end pretty quickly. Our nation of pansies back home won't let it happen though because we don't want the reality of war that comes with it. So our plan B never works, but the exception here is we removed Saddam and that alone is a major component of this whole 'to do'. Anyone who thinks it was not a good thing to remove Saddam and make him carbon ought to have their head examined. The whole reason all the twinkies in this country are so focused on global warming and stuff right now is becuase they cannot figure out how to triumph over the real war going on and they want to get a big chubby about waging a causal / political war on something, so it feels good to champion the environment because you aren't killing anyone to win. You get to make signs and not cut your hair and chant little sayings and stuff, and you get to villify 'the big guy'. It all feels great and fuzzy and like your doing your part. But it really is taking focus away from how we really end this war and move on and put the pest in their place long term.

maybe these AWD components are compatible with the next epsilon.

saab needs to offer a hatch again.

can I join you in that endeavor?

the A6 interior is overdone. The M45 has too much wood and has too much going on.

5.5 is plenty fast 4 me.

+1

edmunds 0-60 in 5.5 no need for the 550. Major interior fixes. My new fave?

for 2007 the new nissan cvt's are good. the murano is old gen and not as good.

uh, i'm no twig.

people buy foresters and stuff so there's still gotta be plenty of folks who will ignore the looks and go for the basic utility of the taurus x.

i would have gotten a lancer or mazda3 or jetta/rabbiit over a corolla. corollas are big time fleet cars now. we'll see how that toyota resale holds up when they hit the auctions en masse.
