  1. I like what Mercury does. Hot thin chicks peddling cars. Do you think anyone cares what the car is? Making any claims of any sort regarding fuel economy is not doable because people will sue and say, "I'm not getting advertised mpg". They can tout epa numbers but nothing else.
  2. the chevy lambda should be a 2 row and then a 3 row that is larger than the acadia....not much larger, but larger. think somewhere on the way to suburban.
  3. timing belts poor crash performance for a seriously heavy vehicle snapping camshafts piano black trim in a utility vehicle they don't get it yet
  4. i like peuguot but this is even testing that.
  5. considering some VW's have it in the pork factor I can forgive the Vue's high curb weight. the small cargo area is more upsetting. Who knows on the mpg. in the end, the DELICIOUS interior and nice exterior and supposed great manners make it a desirable ride. Yes, you can buy a larger CUV and get the same mpg, but some folks like the smaller size for condo garages and parking and stuff. GM by next time will be engineering everything in India or china or korea, so they will tell them to lay off the billet steel next time. At some point, some mfr has to make a large 3 row all aluminum crossover that stays under 4000 pounds. Contrary to belief, the old Vue with honda v6 was not that quick. I drove one. The shifter was slow to respond and there was throttle lag and some driveline sloppiness. It really was nothing to remember. Being a Honda, it lacked some torque, too. My guess is the new Vue will feel quicker and more urgent. The new Vue is a great overall package and deserves to sell huge. Some folks are singles or couples and don't need the huge trunk or passenger space. The only time they have passengers is the trip to Olive garden. I would lean towards an Edge or Acadia for a little more money, lots more room, and the same mpg. I need the room. A good light crossover is the Taurus X. Great mpg, 3 rows, good handling, lots of cargo and seating room and like 42-300 pounds. Should have better acceleration than the vue. one issue, it's damned bad to look at. That doesn't seem to be an issue for people who buy ugly foresters and tribecas and stuff.
  6. this topic could get poisoned.
  7. if the tahoe and yukon get 20mpg in town they will FLY OUT OF SHOWROOMS.
  8. Chrysler's design parti for the new vans (above)
  9. the guy needs to grow some balls. wife sounds like an uptight priss. auras have 100k pwtrn wty now too. we really need to put an end to letting women pick out cars. the guy ought to ask his wife if he can outsource her function to a korean and see what she thinks of that. Fusions are selling like snickers at the conv store around here. or like beer in wisconsin. And ALL are YOUNG drivers. Lots of CAMLEES being sold but guess who's driving them? OLD people. blue hairs, boomers, the 40+ and 50+ set, and a few late thirties and up. I think I've seen at least 5 new fusions on the work lot in the last few months. just recently it seems the aura is picking up too, i see those now also, not as many as fusion tho.
  10. just watched it. f-cking scares me.
  11. those a pillars look as fragile as drinking straws. love the car though.
  12. basically, the cartel in japan has decided that since toyota is known for hybrids, it would be in the JP national best interest for honda to not compete in hybrids anymore, but to use their resources to fight against the euro diesels instead. so there will be no competition between toyo and honda and each will get annointed by greenies as leaders in the other. watch all the greenies come out of the woodwork as diesel bangers once honda puts one out. then the press will praise honda for hooking onto such leading edge tech and they'll use it as an op to rip GM to shread for its maligned diesels from 30 years ago. by then, toyo will have the prius 'brand' out and so anything honda does with the diesel from a PR standpoint will just be more press fodder, like honda is on to something new and is the only company to ever have made a diesel. money is already being set aside to shove under the table to CR and anyone else honda friendly in the past.
  13. don't tweak me, dude. you seriously mean this cts will play the dvd-audio 5.1 surround mixes? i thought only the acuras did that. oh i am so cts now.
  14. the main difference between this and the other thread is that you are young and can wait the situation out and let it linger a bit...let it develop. If you were 28 like in the other thread and dealing with the '30' milestone you'd have a more urgent situation. Sit back and let this one develop naturally.
  15. he bought a zephyr!
  16. i love all the fantasy football going on here.
  17. drive an aura xr and you quickly get why 4 speeds and pushrods are not sufficient.
  18. her ever aging uterus is screaming out cries of 'you're almost 40! you're almost 40! bob just got another degree!-$$$$$$$$$' she found out you dumped architecture and finally decided that made you attractive.
  19. i SO want to say something but I will restrain myself since this is a family show.
  20. agree...except in this movie her acting is very good and she's got an uncharacteristic amount of cleavage going on. two thumbs up, in this case.
  21. well the rdx costs 15 grand more and gets 10 mpg less. why wouldn't i rip on it?
  22. 13.4, i thought. lol
  23. i've had too many ear slicings by the frameless windows in my diamantes and GM cars in the past. i suppose the rondo does belong on the list somewhere. near the bottom, of course. the rondo is pricey when optioned out.
