"i'm planning on taking my GS in very soon for the windshield noise. Frankly, I'm disappointed by the number of minor fit/finish issues I've experienced with the GS. I still love the car, but I never thought I would be taking this car in for service so many times. Oh well, I guess even Lexus has troubles with their first year models, but at least it's nothing serious."

"they pulled my whole dash out"

cobalt hatch = cobalt HHR

the backbone's connected to the LEG BONE...... etc. etc.

um, it sucks that the impala has one too. i test drove an SS impala, and i'm like, this thing has a footbrake? I think the grand prix has footbrakes too. i don't give a FF what it is, i like my cars to have floor shifter and hand brakes.

that's what I am saying, footbrakes are lame, and now Toyota has joined the party. Asian carmakers never used to have footbrakes. My diamante had a handbrake that was nicely fit between the seat and the console so no room was lost and the brake was in its rightful spot and easy to use. Why toyota has regressed here is beyond me other than to show Toyota is starting to get watered down to the LCD....lowest common denominator.

i remember a coworker a few years ago had to put a new alternator in his accord. it was like 400 bucks more to put it in the accord than your basic GM car.

tall chicks frickin rule. jump in with three feet buddy. the pool is always warm, never cold.

I just thought of something. What if she is the beginning of the 'new aggressive female'.? i.e. stuff like this happening with the same frequency as male sex offenders? Is this the direction all women are going?

so right blu, this woman must be a wild basket case. but Josh, maybe you dig that?

lots of true items in that post

HEY! I JUST NOTICED! IS THAT A FOOTBRAKE!!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!LAME! now we have proof they are going all geriatric/estrogen on us.

the tc is a decent value but another 2 grand on top is starting to put it under scrutiny. it least it has some real horsepower compared to things like the FIT but if i recall, no one wants horsepower anyways. if it weren't so chunky looking, I'd consider it.

although i do give them credit, the new camry is nicer to sit in the new Hyundais. Bland as it is, the interior is like hot dish for dinner on a fall chilly night. It warms the tummy, but doesn't excite.

meh, been there, done that.......

nah, the 04-06 was just plain bad. the dvd player at the side of the base of the seat. dash vents that would break almost immediately. a rough texture on the 'pod' that would scratch and look like hell within a week. Creepy leather grain, absolutely horrific cloth. Barren door panels. Rancid color schemes. The redo incorporates warm tones, traditional perforated leather, convincing wood accents, pleasing chrome bits, subtler shapes, and corrects the functional flaws. The dvd player now is in the right spot. The location of the climate and radio controls is perfect for a van because they don't interefere with the tray area now...hey, it even HAS a tray now! The gauges are small and kind of hidden, but since they didn't have much to work with on the redo they did what they could. It makes the odyssey interior look like the bloated puffy interiors of domestics of yore and its much more interesting than the bland Sienna interior. i wish the gear shifter was down where it is on the Sienna but we can't have it all.

I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

a few months ago I passed on a new Quest. I'm glad I waited. If i get a van anytime soon, this is it now. I saw the new int. at the autoshow and it is the best of all the vans. The defects have gone done greatly from 04 to 05 to 06. The quest drives sporty too. Their sales should double now, easily.

again, my point is the FIT is useless. The US deserves a base Civic in lieu of the FIT. The Civic should not 'move up'. US buyers would see much more benefit in a base Civic at the same prices, with its chassis and engine more appropriate to the US. Awhile ago a poster commented on how the Fit doesn't get any better mpg than the old Civic HF's etc. And the Civics were bigger and had more hp and space. Honda is trying to turn the Civic into some kind of aspirational car for dolts just out of college who can't get the BMWM3 (or daddy didn't get for them) they expected to get by the time they were 23. The Civic is no longer an 'everyman's car'.....its a young punks car. Honda's alienated a lot of the mass market with it. Its so funny, I have seen a lot of the new civics on the road, but ALL OF THEM are being driven by young punks. There's no mature owner base for the new civic design. At least I see Mazda 3's being driven by all age groups.

the new 07 Aveos interior BLOWS away the chimpokemon interior haggardry on the fit.

booking photo NOT as good

teacher's sex charges dropped "Teacher Debra Lafave says she's being treated for bipolar disorder." BI POLE-r Lafave, 25, already faces three years of house arrest and seven years probation in Hillsborough County, where she was charged with having sex with the same boy in a classroom and her home. She pleaded guilty November 22 to two counts of lewd and lascivious battery under a plea deal there. In Marion County, she was accused of having sex with the boy in a sport utility vehicle.

BOING. yes, she's smokin. what's she up for? I'll give her 8-10 for good behavior, whatever the offense.
