why not just skip the smoking and drink more instead and have lots more sex?

mattson, look at an Aura XE. my buddy gets 30+ with his malibu v6 (admittedly mostly highway) but the XE is close to 20g and still gets good mpg. or go wpb and get a maxx this time! equinox/torrent might work for you too. the G6 4 cylinder SV1 is a nice idea as well, since you like the 4 cylinder. A really nice idea. Vue greenline? Be sure to consider new with the new 100k powertrain wty for 07. i bet there are plenty of new 06 Malibu 4 cylinders on lots with big discounts that would make it affordable. Some of the 4 poppers now have remote start and side airbags. look at it as an opportunity to go car shopping and enjoy it. and hey some nice 1 and 2 yo cars may pop up also.

if you are a computer software or hardware engineer and work at say, seagate. I'll check the parking lot again this weekend. I alread saw one hybrid camlee being driven by (stereotyping here due to visible cues) what one would assume to be a computer scientist sort of dude. It took me all of 5 seconds to find all the cheap plastic in the new Camry when i sat in one at the auto show back in march. the new camry interior is nothing to say much good about. one part i recall was some door insert or something made of vinyl over a backing which was pulling out of its place in the door. The vinyl had so much slack off its backing and was bound to rip open. the dash plastics adn door plastics were crappy in spots.

altima or caliber might surprise but toyota has already deposited the money so the it will be the Camlee. there are 5 or 6 trucks that could win. I do not think the Tahoe will get it but maybe the new Silverado. I would go Edge or Acadia, but you make a case for the new X5 and MDX. The Q7 is a worthless pile of garbage.

No mc FLY (brian), it's our DENSITY!!!!!!!!! "Lorraine, you are my DENSITY!" just wait till we get that FLUX capacitor.

I'd love to see anyone who pisses and moans about our polluting cars, give up their keys and put up or shut up.

Christ, then why don't we all build huts like the third worlders, get rid of plumbing and electricity, take dumps in our backyard or composting squat toilets, and never go visit our relatives 20 miles away. cars + american spirit = prosperity. roads, interstate, all good. FREEDOM to transport yourself at will, wherever you want to go in your ENDEAVOR to succeed. yes, lets make them cleaner. but please, let's all stop fking villifying the car. Its people we need to villify.

you heathen, you could be driving a prius pulling a small trailer to do that.

cars like this are what makes Suzuki unique and appealing. Its good to have choices like this on the market.

if the label says 'Honda Fit' then it gets car of the year with 105 hp.......

yes.

we don't really ever use our gas fp, in fact, if someone offered to take it out of our living room and get rid of the fireplace walls, in exchange for the fireplace, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Our 'mantel' (drywall, no finished mantel) is about 48" above finished floor although I need to measure that to verify. Watching from our couch, yes you would have to look 'up' however it would be perfect for more remote viewing from the dining table or kitchen. I could alternatively set the tv in front of my windows and get it lower but tv's in front of windows is a major source of eyestrain. the room was never intended for a big tv. We were supposed to have the home theater in the basement done by now. A really big plasma in my basement would be more perfect than just about anything. $$$ aren't there for that right now and the architect on the house did a horsesht job of laying out the living room, so a tv naturally does not work in the space, with furniture. I could do a wall mount above the fireplace and hang the tv out in front of the fireplace box, maybe? LCD's are so grainy looking. I would prefer plasma, but the LCD's are lighter and more computer friendly.

i think the new mazda cx-9 will be a sporty people mover and the new MDX is as well. The X5 is a sports oriented people mover also. If Pontiac offered something that performed in the vein of that, but fit its pricing targets, then i think it would be totally appropriate.

i hate the way they always come out with new technology and what you bought two years ago is toast.

i see some small galant overtones in the rear kick up and door glass. small. does this thing share the galant platform, at one time it was supposed to.

as far as the car it is a big improvement over the sebring. maybe too judge dredd for my tastes, but i could see where those who need the cheaper male extender than the 300 would like it. i would have kept the stratus name.

NO! here are some just released photos of the interior plastics undergoing prototype testing...... i think Dr. Z will give you the lid if you ask nicely though.......

i don't care if they do, but my point is, Nissan says the car is new and has an all new 'platform', i say NO, its not as new and different as they are making it out to be. I'm saying it has a lot more commonality to the old altima and current maxima than they are letting on to. and I don't care, I just think they should admit it. basically i don't like how they are lying.

"I always loved that one"

another question. I was going to set my flat tv on top my fireplace surround, which has a horizontal surface about 48 inches above the floor and is about 10 inches deep. Do I need a wall mount? I was going to just stand it up on the horizontal surface and mount a safety cable from the back of the tv to the wall. Do you think that is too high to mount it without tilting it?

B/BLS, you have any opinion on the LCD vs. PLASMA dilemma? they had a display at circuit city that compared 2 identical dvd's/players/tv's...the only difference was one used component vid cable and the other used HDMI. The HDMI was VASTLY superior in picture sharpness and color precision. So I am sold on HDMI. Last night online I was looking at the Samsung 1080 upconvert DVD player. Who knows who will win the HD DVD vs. BluRay war. I know apple computers will get Blu Ray eventually so for format convergence I might lean to that, but the Blu Ray movie I saw looked bad. Ultimately I think players will need to play both and even then the format may never be widespread. I have a Pioneer DVD player that i bought in January that I never use (its in my basement) but it can play both DVD-A and SACD. Both formats are on life support. Speculation is that BluRay and HD-DVD will spend so much time fighting each other that neither will flourish. I've read some people say that by the time that forwat war is decided and accepted, that streaming on demand services may become reality which will eliminate the need for discs. That's why I am hesitant to buy a TV just yet....without 1080p. At least real 1080p like the Westinghouse will play just about any format you can throw at it.

someone call the auto glass store. the current 06 altima and maxima probably share windshields.

they used to rip the bonneville sseis for all the buttons. but here in a Honda I am sure it will get a pass.

oldsmoboi, just caught the sig.....glad to help out! poor fly. he's going to need a missile defense system on his aurara pretty soon to fend off all those toyota missiles..!

toyota is trying SOOO hard.
