now that's the celebrity deathmatch of the automotive world right there........ the RANGER used to be like the best selling vehicle in America. Way to preserve your markets, Ford.

I like it but will it be fresh looking 30 months from now? at least if they were doing a MCE, they went about it the right way. cheaper than a full redesign but enough new to really improve the car. GM could learn a thing or two. the kicker, its still not a BMW. LOL. and they try SO hard. in my mind inifiniti really just wants to be lexus' with GOOD handling. this car won't be cheap to fix when rich daddy's kid gets one for HS graduation once the 3 year leases are turned in. no stick with the AWD? Losers.

maybe. but that's because the frame is designed around iron block ninety degree boat anchors of yore. seriously. the impala is not a roomy car. its got a mid sized interior. that's why all this regression from cab forward bothers me. we don't need longer hoods. we need SHORTER hoods....longer greenhouses, taller greenhouses and short short overhangs. Jesus. An Intrepid with about 2 inches higher seats and about 3-4 inches higher roof and shorter overhangs would be perfect.

edmunds are morons. nobody looks at the wrangler for 'lexus refinement'. Wranglers are built to play on the rocks and dirt. Not shlep coffee from starbucks to home.

try to cram your butt in the impala and tell em its full sized. ITS NOT. its a mid sizer.

I am sure the committee of lame assholes that have kept you from getting that in Malibus up unitl now have probably conspired to keep it out of the next gen Malibu as well. -Bob

sure, its called Cobalt.

fly, the ford's not that far behind. especially considering its 3% short in displacement and i think the ford only has vvt on one side. It's fair to say both engines are comparable. What is nice to think about, is both the GM and Ford mills getitng direct injection eventually. It's fair to say that Ford and Gm finally listened, that folks want better v6's. Now they just need to make more of them and get them into more cars.

they still out torque the pushrods.

but the v8 small block SS doesn't weigh a lot. its barely heavier than the pushrod v6s.

does it have lighted/heated/cooled cupholders like the sebring?

WIDE RIGHT. by like 18 inches. game over. 2 seconds left and vikes got the ball back and actually tried a pass play. 10-10 tie. I am appalled. A preseason overtime tie.

less than two minutes left. Dallas decides to kill almost all the clock. We thought they were not going to bring out Vanderjagt again. But lo and behold as the clock is ticking down, 12, 11, 10 the snap and here's the hold, THE KICK>............

well, like the dark ages, a long period of time goes by with much human regression. we finally move to later in the OT. The Vikes punter pins the Cowboys on their own 2 yard line. Normally, if you are the cowboys you try to run the ball out of there to get some space from your own goal line. NOPE! The cowboys try to pass! IT'S TURKEY SHOOT TIME FOR THE DEFENSE!!!!! what happened next was painful. The cowboys showed obvious pass on the first two plays and the Vikings got great pass rush. BUT ON THE SECOND PLAY, the DL comes in virtually untouched and reaches out to sack Tony Romo (which would win the game right there with a safety). AND INSTEAD! ARGH spins around and misses the Cowboys QB clean! MY GOD. they god want us to sit through the whole OT period! I hope that guy gets cut for missing that sack! It would have been game over right there!!!!!!!!!!!! so anyways the cowboys start on a long drive. More bad football. The Vikes D is porous and the cowboys make good runs and passes. SO now I am like, they are GONNA LOSE THE GAME! Now I am caring?????????!?!?!?!?! no. I just want it to be over. Tony Romo takes the snap and fires a perfect pass to a receiver streaking to the goal line and he's open. he reaches out his arms to suck in the pass and...and....... AND>.......on the two yard line........PERFECT STRIKE.......and he...... DROPS THE BALL. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ******

but get this HE SHANKS THE 33, 34 whatever yard FG!!!!!! WIDE RIGHT! OH FK! IT's not over yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (silence)

Ah, so the Vikes win the coin toss. Well, let's not forget. JT "I sucked again" is the QB. They didn't want to put Mike McMahon out there to suck even more than he already has all preseason. How did Lions fans and Eagles fans ever tolerate McMahon in their uniforms? The boy can barely complete 40% of his passes! Anyways, back to "I sucked again". At this point we don't know if any of the Vikings QB's on the field know that the Vikes literally hours before traded for yet another QB....Brooks Bollinger of the Jets. So I am thinking...oh crap. Either I suck again knows he's out of the lineup and just to punish everyone in God's creation, decides 'I think I am going to go out there and SUCK AGAIN', just to spite....OR he honestly at this point still thinks he has an outside shot at the number 3 QB spot on the roster and decides he needs to GO FOR IT and play like he's fighting to wina spot on an arena league team or something. SO, needless to say he sucks big time and Vikes are inept on offense. Dallas gets the ball back right away and marches into FG position for the most accurate kicker in NFL history, Mike Vanderjagt, to attempt the game winner....just 3 minutes into OT.. YAY!

tonight, Vikings / Cowboys so the Vikes hold a 10-3 lead late into the 4th quarter. Dull, but solidly played game. You don't care if J.T. I suck again, er, JT O'Sullivan gives the game away because he does suck, you expect it, and its JUST PRESEASON FOOTBALL. Ok, well, he didn't lose the game, but the cowboys get the ball for the final drive and march down and score a touchdown with like 15 seconds left. that makes the score 10-9. NOW, what next? Obvious. Go for two points to either win or lose the game. Let's get it over with and go home. NOT EXACTLY. in a strange twist of fate....the Tuna (Bill Parcells) decides to kick the extra point and go into OT. WTF? LEt's GO HOME! ARGH! well, maybe Parcells wanted to make a point with his players or something. Anyways, they kick the point and here we are 10-10 tied going into OVERTIME. DID I MENTION THIS IS PRESEASON FOOTBALL?

mine is quiet.

yeah but who cares, get a couple of strippers and lots of booze back there on those lay me down seats and that's LUXURY!!!!!!!!!!see how those things recline? maybe that's what lexus was going for..... on second thought NAWWWWWWWWWWWWW

"I always loved that one"

you are thinking of the freelander. go back and check your list.

if spending 50k on an all wheel drive Accord (RL) floats your boat...be my guest. why not just get an Accord DX and pocket the 35 grand? Around here most STS sell starting in the high thirties to the low forties for nice well equipped cars. Anyone who buys an Acura-cough- HONDA over a Cadillac is a MORON.

sure because they have no motor and Ford is keeping them to 10-15% fleet. they still have the taurus to whore out to fleets.

I think I'd believe fly here, I see assloads of new Sonatas with the big green E on the back.
