if he told you, he'd have to .....

agree on the civic comment too. i thought i saw 'huge civic' in one shot.

i thought volvo and phaeton also. although i thought more s60 than s40

dude, you are ON TOP OF IT!!!!! lol time to get that instrument panel first! and the 'plug in hybrid badge' too.......i'm sure they pulled that from Saab so the Malibu could outdo the camry hybrid as being the first plug in

Lustful Leanings autoweek

wait, that article said it was the Impala.......and the front end overhang suggests fwd

the malibu was upsizing to the impala size so the impala can go rwd

again proving I am not biased. Only correct.

YES!

i see a lot of things an A4/S class/A8 sort of rear gait. a german stance in the rear which is nice. thankfully, they spat in the face of Chris Bangle and didn't try to copy a BMW. a slightly camryish front end shaping an evolution of the currently yecky snout and also a little impala some impala in the green house tsx'ie from the rear 3/4 a tiny bit of similarity to the aura in the door shaping some Lucerne to it the grille shaping is evocative of the CTS the doors themselves look very long which suggest mondo legroom i'll wait till i see a production version. i think it has potential but i am not impressed so far. front end is kinda stubby and chunky like so many new cars these days. at least this car has length to it, which makes it appear much nicer than the current version. at least it looks good. Watch GM f it up with pushrod engines and a cheap interior. THAT will impress me, if they keep the beancounters away from it long enough to put at least ONE DOHC engine with a 6 speed in it and also plastic and dash that doesn't make me wretch. CD/BP...did you get schooled by Hans on this one? GMI got schooled. its not on their site yet from what i can tell.

well, people pay 900,000 for tiny houses out there so spending 80g on a car i suppose is what they would call 'practical'

you don't have enough capital to not get taken over or bought out by GM or Ford if you get big enough

my old navy jeans have held up well. Eddie Bauer. that stuff lasts, even if its 'Des Moines 96' like the SP episode said. Hell, my BIL gave me like 6 Eddie Bauer shirts he was no longer wearing like 5 years ago and I still wear them, they are just now starting to fray abit and stuff. I also inherited his Nordstroms shirts which are exceptional. outlets are the way to shop as long as the merch don't look repulsive

Canadian Driver looks good in black!

LOL

it's hot seeing this thing everyday when i drive home. Lamborghini Gallardo what do you suppose they traded this in for at a Dodge / Chrysler Jeep dealer? 4 SRT's and a Caliber? and a Viper?

well, was shopping again today. i think plasma has better picture for movies etc. LCD is still sharper but not much depth. the samsung and LG LCD's are good. only a handful of sets display 1080p. I might want blu-ray or HD DVD so i think i want that. the plasmas that are only 768 pixels high seem to have great pictures. i think i should wait.

a sprawling of a bunch of car hating leftist urbanites, that's what

oh yeah, that. um, well.........not gonna get into it but it was just an innocent deal. nothing of any shock value. still kinda cool.

no, the Zygmunt and Childress kicked me out.

the point is to do both. like Jimmy Buffett said.

LOL, I'm glad you brought that up. i need my gripe list for my next trip to the dealer. I've been on better terms with my car lately. The space is nice, very nice. Still, maybe i can swap it for an Edge with a 3.5 come fall. Or an 08 3.5 500 in spring. Otherwise Ford will be hard pressed to get my money ever again.

actually you are right there. Canadian Driver is one of my favorite sites. They are kid of soft on everything they review, but at least they don't write every review up with an Aura of pomposity that can only go matched in a Seattle or Portland coffee house. James Healy is the best auto writer out there. He cuts no bull, and writes about relevant stuff.

my cars not perfect but its transportation. If i had the budget to drive something nicer with the utility i need I would. I'd love a BMW or CTS. At least I'm not driving a Civic. I'm not ricing around with my skateboard and PSP in tow all the time. but here's the scoop. motor trend can't even put a picture of fricking G5 coupe for an article about a G5 coupe. when you claim to be professional journalists, then that sort of slop is inexcusable. what we all do here is blog and have conversations. at least Angus could spend some time proofreading what his staff does so they don't put a stupid G5 sedan picture in for an article about a G5 coupe. Go back and read through Motor Trend's mail bag for like the first half of this year. Almost every month some reader is pointing out some bone headed mistake the morons at Motor Trend are making these days.

hey bud, Ion sales are WAYYY UP! and what does GM do to celebrate? they will be stopping production for ever before the Astra comes over! LOL
