GM knows what it is doing. Lambdas are the NEW family sedan like the Caprice was in the 70's/80's. They need all the volume out of lambda they can muster, especially with trailblazer sales tanking. the styling will be unique. The trailblazer is different than the envoy. Acadia/outlook will continue to share panels. We should all rejoice this. GM got smart. This is what will keep chevy in real cash flow for the next 5-7 years. not the camaro, not a rwd only impala. Now if they would announce a 9-7x and SRX that are unique, but on Lambda, then we are set.

diesels need to cost more than gas because their injection systems are more complex and costly. Also, the emissions systems are most costly. Also, the structure of the motor needs ot be beffier because the high compression and extreme torque compared to a same sized gas motor. For example, a diesel head bolt would need to be much more sturdy and beefy and built to a higher tolerance. However, anything over time gets cheaper in volume, so i cannot understand why diesels cost 3-5 k more (CTS). the 1000 dollar number thrown around for the Astra seems very pleasing in that context. The rebel states in this country need to be federally overruled on all this diesel witch hunt bull$h!. (CALIFORNIA COUGH). Now that the diesel itself is clean and the emissions are not an issue, it wouldn't hurt to back off on the socialism and bias against dielsel so we all can benefit from it as another alternative fuel choice. Withhold federal highway funding if these pricks erect barriers to diesel car sales. If the BMW 3 does 40mpg w. a diesel, I would kill for an all new 9-5x diesel that gets that kind of mpg.

i hope mr. shawl likes overnight stocking at walmart.

nice. looks like a puffy mazda3. this is another example of why sedans are being abandoned. everyone wants crossovers. well, not everyone, but generally more and more folks are abandoning sedans.

Omegas were awesome.

you set yourself up for a very insulting punchline. you may want to retract that one before someone takes advantage of it.

and the pig still smells by the way

TOYOTA THROWS ANOTHER 1000 DOLLARS AT THE PIG

yeah, why no bluetooth? the 2008 Focus will have bluetooth. GM is way behind the curve still in electronics integration. People's cell phone issues are of paramount to many snob asses who drive luxury marques like this.

I have never understood the appeal of truckish vehicles. How would you not prefer the Acadia, which is carlike? The Acadia hardly feels like a minivan. And it does not feel like a starch crossover, like the CX-9 (now there's a creepy vehicle). The Acadia feels like a proper people hauler. Why drive a truck if what you need to get around is a car?

The best way to not worry about being fired is to perform at a high level every day. So if there is a layoff, you won't be a target.

agreed. That's one monkey I'd like to take for a ride.

the STS will be sold to all the folks who can't obtain an out of stock CTS or the ones that believe the STS is a move up car over the CTS. it's insane how our north american car arms are futile in making running changes. They cheap out interiors etc. and f- things from the start, and then they trip over themselves with bad MCE's or stop gap fixes for the rest of the product cycle in hopes anyone still cares. i'm sure all the following limits their ability to get it right -supplier contracts, not being able to get out of contracts for bad parts of a $h!ty design -union contracts -poor management -general incompetence at all levels in the process -endless beauracracy that results in the process lasting way longer than it should -piss poor marketing -government red tape and certification America is king but we can't even figure out how to change the dashboard on a car when we need to retain sales interest. Hell, look how long it took Ford to get a decent v6 in their stable. 2007/8? The Chinese can crank out a new STS interior and lengthened chassis like nothing. In America, we are so feeble we can't even get it done, even though we all know it would help the car's sales a lot.

i like the taillights but the big ugly H has to go.

good move by GMC. We all know vaginas control the checkbook or penis becomes a lonely soul. How else do you suppose Japan inc entrenched in the US? Soft and weak and fuzzy plays to the women. Its about time GM got this notion.

520 jobs woo hoo they'll just take the korean parts off the boat and assemble them.

wow, we just regressed humanity by 30 years.
