  6. BOING! that picture is TREMENDOUS did i ever tell you about the feeling i had the first time i ever saw a shania twain video? um, your head needs to be checked if you didn't think she was hot until now.
  7. GM, 3 of the top 5.
  8. go-k-fed! go-k-fed!
  9. i like how hyundai benchmarks a 10 year old taurus for design
  10. right now i think the Sienna is fighting off the Sedona. the Sedona is selling like hot cakes and its a very good product. Why GM and Ford can't make anyting equal to these vehicles baffles me.
  11. some folks like farmers and others who can write off a truck as a work vehicle, use their pickups as a family vehicle. great gig, family vehicle, but use it for work too and write it off. so they like the room.
  12. LOL, if you wanted traction, get an AWD Subaru, Ford, Volvo, Mazda, lol........not TOYOTA. lol.......right. no middle ground. didn't the 07 camry have tranny issues though.? like losing 2nd or 6th gear?
  13. you mean GM's 4 speed......... still just because something works is no reason to not continuously improve and refine. GM ought ot be able to make a 5 and 6 speed auto just as good as the 4 speeds. this is more of an electronic throttle and transmission programming issue more than anything. I'm telling you there is nothing more bizarre and frustrating than mashing the throttle and having nothing happen for 2,3,4,5 seconds.....or going part way with the throttle, expecting a downshift and watching the revs go up smoothly....and instead...NOTHING
  14. my 500 does the same thing. Try to make a right on a red light. Its pretty much 50/50 if the car will rev/downshift/accelerate as you would expect it to. I might die someday from side impact, just trying to make a right turn. You pretty much take your life into your own hands anytime you try a semi aggressive (read: normal pre-2006) driving maneuver. what we have here, everyone, is the advent of the electronic throttle and assholes who work in the engineering departments of the carmakers who program the throttle / tranny combos in insane and dumbass ways....i.e. 'protect the consumer from themsleves'. Its probably all tied to the legal department and lawyers somehow. My 500 actually downshifted and took off today when i turned a corner at a stop. I just about crapped my pants. I didn't realize my car could do that. Pretty zippy! Now the damn thing won't do that again anytime soon. Most cars as we know them downshift to 1 when you come to a full stop. Mine don't. It waits until you take off again, so the car stumbles and then the only way to get it to downshift is to literally floor it. Then the car jerks into gear and feels like its gonna break apart. I assume this all due to electronic throttles and trying to program the trannies to either last longer, get better mpg, or save iditos from putting the car into the ditch. I'd like to put my car into a ditch. the ditch outside my ford dealer. I have a TSB available for a tranny reflash on my 500. I'll do that soon and see if the same problem is fixed. I totally bet the Camry is having the exact same issues.
  15. toyota can longer claim to be green.
  16. I could have gotten HUD on my Aztek.....in 2002 even i think HUD debuted in like the 89 Grand Prix or something. GM did hud way back when. Just like the 85 riv had the touch screen panel.

    BMW Z29

    bleh. Z06 please. Ford GT, please.
  18. duh, the prius. hey remember how nasty the interiors of the new tundra are? GM's new interiors outclass them. much nicer to look at.
  19. any man with any serious cajones is not going to be caught driving a toyota.
  20. i so love the CTS sport
  21. exterior is nasty but the interior is not bad for the price class. i hear its huge inside. re:rentals...the new sonata is the darling of the hertz i drive by all the time. i am sure this car will be too.
  22. by building the ginormous new tundra, toyota has proven they will offically sell or whore themselves out anywhere and try to have it both ways.
  23. 25 grand = not cheap
  24. i hate sony generally like i do toyota, and i don't like microsoft because they screw up more than they succeed.
  25. oh GOD those renderings are terrible. Better go get that Kia Sorento now I guess.
