wow. check out the page where they give the 'pros and cons' of all the different cars.....hybird, plug-in, biofuels, ethanol, etc. you'd swear there was no alterantive except electric! they SLAM ethanol and biofuels. WHERE DO WE GET ALL THIS ELECTRICITY FROM PRAY TELL ME!?!?!? GREAT IDEA? WHERE DO WE GET THE ELECTRICITY FROM? "infrastructure for hydrogen refueling would be costly' oh, and getting everyone set up to charge their cars at home isn't going to be? Its not like it would have the same plugin as a HAIR DRYER>! I do think electric is a big part of the solution, its just the premise of that movie makes like there is NO CONS to the electric car. typical treehuggers/greenies....they only see one side of an issue.

who killed the electric car? WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR?

the car mags would rip it for having 'cheap interior plastics' .

ultimately, wind, solar, and geothermal are the tickets. and nuclear its one thing to power a couple lights in your house though. to get enough energy to push an escalade across the country is a different story. back in ND where i was from, they have a lot of wind and a lot of open land. Seems to me like a great place for more wind farms.

I LOVE the CTS sport. GOD, how I would like one. Please say it was a stick, not an automatic.

well said post. but if everyone had an electric car, would we be able to produce enough electricity, and, would exxonmobil want a piece of the action? boy, once our cars start needing electricity, than electric prices will go through the roof, and we won't even be able to turn the lights on in our houses.

bottom line, if kids feel attraction, they will have sex. No law will stop them. IMHO, birth control is needed. but kids ought to be told of hte consequences of having sex....possible pregnancy, intimacy issues, getting used.....

Is Ann Coulter 16 yet? I'd love to give that a ride.

well, based upon those real world pics, i still think the exterior is bad, and i like the interior a little bit more now, in spite of the cheap plastic. its amazing the subtle mercedes looks popping up into the DCX cars. the shape of the dash kinda mimics the CLS dash with its tapered shape up to the sides.

accord v6-more hp and better mpg. dcx can come up with a better engine

wow, chrylser is having some problems at their paint factory, eh?

i suppose the yuppie set thinks 26k is a bargain for a four cylinder sedan.

except the trunk isn't big enough for soccer balls because of the damn battery.

plain and simple, your mileage varies from tank to tank. you need sevaral tanks before you get a trustworthy number of an average. so they may test it with one tank and it gets 37. well, its likely that over 5 tanks the average could end up to be 32, 35 or 40. One tank is not enough. two tanks, no. ten tanks, maybe.

GM's ad campaigns are like Paris Hilton. It always creates a buzz and gives you something to talk about. And in GM's case, the resluts are usually like Paris Hilton too. The marketing schemes they concoct generate lots of attention and put out quite well. From a marketing standpoint, GM has come out with some brilliant and effective campaigns. Do they tarnish the image of GM? Hard to say. Some think Paris Hilton is still sweet and innocent and others think she is trash. In GM's case, its not the marketing programs that have sullied the image of the cars and company, its the product itself. It really simple. And Buickman, you ought to know this, if the damn car is overpriced vs. what the CONSUMER thinks its worth relative to anything else they can buy, then you just won't sell a lot. So you can try to preserve high MSRP and dealer margins all you want. But it ain't gonna do jack for you if no one is buying the car. Conversely, if they put incentives out on it, and it gets the price in line with what the consumer thinks its worth, then you are gonna sell assloads of them. All the while, GM itself is trying hold the price of what it sells its cars to the dealer for. Considering how GM cheaps out on its content and quality in many areas already, I assume they are cutting their own margins to the bone. So then dealer margin likely ends up getting cut to keep the MSRP palatable to the consumer, but still keeping GM having a chance to make profit itself on the car. So what everyone is forgetting here is the CONSUMER ultimately sets a fair price or average value for the car. Simply put, if the car was better it could be sold for more money and conceivable better profits for the dealer and GM. The incentives and marketing supports are needed to push dated and inferior product because people will buy something else otherwise. I am case in point. Would I buy an Aztek if it weren't so damn cheap? yeah i would have loved something else, but the MSRP was over 26 grand and after all my GM rebates and incentives I paid 16 grand for it. Either update the vehicle so folks want it or you gotta throw cash on the hood to move it. If I were a dealer I would stop my pissing and moaning about 'dealer margins' and spend more effort giving proper feedback to the decision makers at GM about what can be done to make the cars themsleves more attractive.

I WISH IT HAD THE TURBO OR SUPERCHARGER
