  5. cheap seat cloth unattractive horizontal dash look with bench seats cheap steering wheel pushrod engine it won't ruin the car, but for god's sake it looks really bad in this configuration. the seats look like bad slumberland sofas.

  7. "Now, Bluewater is taking on Toyota. "We don't enjoy playing the truth squad," Danielle Fugere, director of climate change at Bluewater, said. "But when the auto industry misleads the public, whether intentionally or not, someone's got to set the record straight." " Liars....i knew i had the topic title right......
  8. SWEET, let's see the press take them down now, too!
  9. BENCH SEATS LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you're right I doesn't look at all like the fabulous car I saw on the platform at the auto show this year that many were gawking at. still, it looks nice, but it looks like the interior will ruin it, judging by those photos.
  10. and croc gets 28 mpg with the vette
  11. THAT AUDI GRILLE DOUBLES NICELY AS A CITY STREET GRATE ON THE CURB FOR STORMWATER
  12. well, let's hope we aren't bankrupt by the time these much needed products come out and also, consumer moods could switch quickly too.
  13. the LaCrosse is small enough.
  14. 32K for a Maxx? DISGUSTING
  15. if we have socialized health care, watch the borders get overrun with folks coming into our country illegally
  16. Leave the Prius out of this
  17. some of you still don't get it. Had GM not offered the rebates, their market share would be under 20% most likely and no one would have bought their cars. Now GM uses high MSRP's as buffers to be able to prop up higher loan values to absorb negative equity, and to catch the occasional idiot who would pay full MSRP for a GM vehicle. Otherwise, it allows them room to play with marketing incentives to create interest for otherwise non competitive cars. I think GM should lower MSRP's 10-20% across the board, but that would screw up resale values, lease residuals, etc. Plus GM needs to keep pace with the rising MSRP's of others as well. Also GM needs the higher crook prices to cover their high overhead (read: insane labor and benefit costs) Bottom line, its still about product. If you still have something no one wants, you have to mark it down to get folks to buy it. Its like that in cars, Target stores, clothing stores. So we shouldn't be moaning incentives, we should moaning that GM still cannot get new product out fast enough to make their lots more desirable.
  18. i'll probably have my freestyle by early next week so GM is late to the game again anyways..oh well.
  19. people, you need to think of the big picture these are good baby steps in the right direction. if i recall, UAW didn't have to negotiate, their contract was through 07, this reneg was good faith on their part and these neg's demonstrate a willingness from both sides to talk at least, and it also shows they both recognize there are big problems to tackle during the next full contract negs. this also gets GM time to right the product and design ship. Also, i saw an article that said Wagoner and others were looking at pay cuts. it may not be the big earth shift that's needed for long term health, but I can't see there being negatives about this. And if i had the chance to get some damn good sex, and it only cost me 18 bucks to guarantee a hard on with a really hot chick, then I'd say it was money very well spent. that still allows me enough to get a digital camera to take pics of the event as well.
  20. a heard Toyota hired a new spokesperson, Pinocchio. Or was it Tommy Flanagan (Jon Lovitz) from Saturday Night Live skits?
  21. congrats. Those new 18" wheels on the sedan really get me going. did you go stick or automatic?
  22. sometimes companies need to stay competitive too, the Ranger plant here in St. Paul keeps slowing down, because Ford hasn't updated the damn truck in like 15 years!!!!!!! no wonder they are always bemoaning the possibility of plant closure.
  23. Chinese Factory Worker Can't Believe The crap He Makes For Americans the onion
  24. couldn't they make 'valve' openings similar to a camera shutter with some sliding plates or something? i dunno, its late.
  25. one dealer told me that a large percentage of Vues sold are with the 4 cyl. 5 speed combo. Like 30-40% of the 4 cylinder ones but I'm not sure if he was jerkin my chain. the last two cars my sister bought were sticks. i want one too, but am afraid of the traffic thing. my 99 prizma nd 89 sho had sticks and i enjoyed them, but right now its tough to justify unless i win the lottery and can afford an extra car. Lots of Mazda 6's are sold with sticks. lots of VW's are too. it just seems to me that the G6 manual would have a much greater acceptnace if they actually had some sedans at lower price points and did a cheap 4 cylinder sports package as well.
