looks cheeseball in those pics. if GM simply replaced the steering wheel, radio and climate controls with something that looks EXPENSIVE then maybe it would look ok.

so put a 6'2 driver in the front and a six footer in the back. the cts is wider also. more room. take away the 3 series sales to a- californians (3 series is basically in california what a civic is in other parts of the country) b- small mocha sucking women with egos c- small metrosexual image conscious guys and generally you won't find many people of average size and above driving 3 series cars. on the flip side you often see cadillac drivers who are um, ample sized. a much better true cross section of the amurchan population which again is why cadillac is better off selling a larger car

looked like the iCrash controller is still there. dammit. er, iDrive.

lutz was glad the passenger side of the turdra gets it own movie screen. because its so far away from the driver.

KEGGERS AND CHICKS KEGGERS AND CHICKS

OK. I am at the pizza store getting a pizza to go and I am noticing the really hot chick bending down in front of me writing a check or whatever at the register to purchase her pizza. We're talking brunette 5'10 sexpot thin and leggy with a great ass and impressive rack. She has TIIIIGHHHT stretch pants on. Ok, i am watching. Inevtible in the britney spears era is the whole half an ass sticking up over the top of her waistline. Nice and tan. VERY NICE. except HUGE TATTOO. WTF? Its not like i need a target. i know what I am aiming for. Now, I have no issues with the part about if you want a tattoo, get one etc. I am just one of those that thinks the canvas (i.e. skin of a human, in my case, female) is a hellova lot nicer than the art (tattoo). why would you spoil such a fine looking ass with a tattoo? Piercings. The chick making my pizza had a nose ring. I really don't care, i just think the human form looks better without. So, informal survey, who likes tattoos and piercings? Who thinks they are attractive? I don't mind them, I just think the person looks better than the junk.

oh man someone please put a G6 GXP wing on the back of this thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! j/k

what are your interior beefs? i mean, i know its missing about 14 dash vents compared to the last Bonneville, but man, the Commodore's interior is pretty hands down better than anything GM already offers. This car needs to offer the 3.6 v6. either or both the 260hp version and the 300hp di version in additon to the v8's. The 300hp v6 would be all I need.

sorry, you need the AWD. RWD alone doesn't cut it. It has nothing to do with easing my mind, it has everything to do with people in my climate NOT BUYING RWD only cars. ESP is not a substitue for weight over drive wheels. No ESP will help a RWD car up an icy inclined driveway to get into your garage. People want to get their car into their garage. They want to move quickly away from stoplights in icy pavement. For buyers there is no electronic substitute for gravity on drive wheels. END OF DISCUSSION. i.e. I, and zillions of others, do not put this car on my shopping list unless I can have AWD. Its the same thing with a Trailblazer. I have no interest in a trailblazer unless i can get AWD. Why do you suppose the bmw's, mercedes, G and M inifitis, Lexus GS/IS, etc. , cadillacs, all offer the AWD? Why does the 300 offer AWD? you want Pontiac dealers to actually be able to sell cars, right? People don't make car payments on cars unless they can drive them all year round.

the g6 has 4 and 6 cylinder engines the mazda 6 has four and 6 cylinder engines s0, NO.

we need both v8 and v6 here. and AWD too.

the stick car should have a handbrake. there is no excuse for this. apparently, someone in detroit felt left out about not being able to give this car a signature detroit cue. the size comparo to the 5 series is interesting. it makes sense. first off, Americans (especially middle America) doesn't want a small useless car like a 3 series. Secondly, in order to stay in business, Caddy needs to sell in volume. They CAN sell a car this size, Caddy could not give away something the size of a 3 series in enough volume to keep dealer's doors open. Case in point, where my dad would consider a CTS, he would in no way consider a lilliputian device like a 3 series to be suitable transport. Also, the chassis which is shared with the STS and SRX is this size. Going smaller means a new chassis, which could not be shared as much for flexible cadillac production. Lastly, if they want a small Cadillac, they can just sell the BLS here, but would not need to sell it in huge volume. The size of the CTS means a great value proposition, and American brands have always been able to deliver on value. The value of the CTS (same car for less money) puts a 5 series to shame, consequently, if you compare a G35 to the CTS, for the same price you get more car for the money.

ok, maybe i do like it better than the current one. those pics swayed me. ok, i like them both.

Toyota Stages World Debut of All-New 2007 Tundra CrewMax @ NAIAS
regfootball replied to scotthendersonfan's topic in Toyota
and ford sells what, a million trucks a year compared to honda's measly 50k? the best thing in life is knowing i don't drive a honda or toyota. i could put an empty pop can on some training wheels and I'd have the same thing. oh wait, the pop can doesn't rust out. -
i like the new radio controls, but why do they have to devote so much space and focus on the dash to a stupid analog clock? I would rather have the radio and climate controls up higher. the clock thing is tired old and cliched. SICK OF IT. Actually, I prefer the looks of the current CTS. I like the more techo / chunky stance and the more square taillights. But the interior on this one is a lot nicer, even if its soft and lexus curvy. Never can seem to get it all in one, hmmmmmmm. Still this car will be a huge hit.

watch out, the black car is coming to pick you up.

well, look how many millions bought Milli Vanilli, so it doesn't surprise me that 50,000 would be dumb enough to pop for a Rdigeline. -
I think if they chose the Aura over the Camry, it would be doing so to recognize that the Aura is entertaining to drive, and thus reminding Toyota that its more than just building snoozers. Plus, we already know Camry has had some quality issues. Maybe this is the group warning Toyota, be careful, we're not going to give you awards for crap cars. Plus Aura is a hell of a lot more car for the money. GM's 6 speed actually shifts gears, by the way. The Camry's 6 speed may or may not decide to shift when you press the gas. The Fit does not represent a significant market segment in the US at least. The mid sized sedan segment is much much much more relevant than the few folks who actually are willing to live with a car like the Fit with limited function and appeal. Plus, the Fit is expensive for its size and horsepower, so its not a value proposition. As far as trucks, Toyota themselves kept themselves out of competition because they knew they aren't up to snuff with the new turdra.

damn, now I can dream of having one here in MN. I hope the direct injection v6 and stick is available with AWD when i win the frickin lottery. To be honest, if they make a V version I would not want it. I'd rather have the twin cam v6 direct injection (plenty of hp and nice cammy sound). I see no reason why this car won't be mondo successful and it might just be the first car both my dad and myself would enjoy owning. He figured out what the CTS was recently and really likes it and so it would be cool if i had a nice sports model one and he could have one 'lexus style' for mom to drive ....i.e. softer suspension, automatic, lighter interior.........

by the same token, your CTS is not / won't be obsolete anytime soon, thus preserving its desirability and value.
