Intrepidation

Considering spyshots have reveals that the grill is reverse canted like the Charger's...it sounds like it's going to be one very mean looking truck.

So how about that Datsun I said I wanted but you put up for sale and haven't mentioned anything about since?

If they've got a shot of the gauges, then they have a shot of the dash...why not show us? The overall shape looks good.

Should try this with the Shadow

Yeah, because the Korean Aveo is so much better. I may be wrong, but isn't the V6 in the Equinox/Torrent Chinese built? The next LaCrosse is being developed (or at least styled, because they know better than us) in China. I don't like the idea of a Chinese co-developed Chrysler product, but China is far cheaper than America to build products..we all know this, and Chrysler needs to make a profit off of a small car...so thereya go. Hopefully Chrysler will keep the quality in check (at least their standards is better than China's), as well as keeping Chery from stealing things.

SPOILER ALERT!! IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE MOVIE YET DON'T READ THIS UNLESS YOU WANTS POILERS (AND DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GO SEE IT!!) Since GMTruckGuy74 started spilling spoilers because he wanted to talk about the movie, and since those of us who have seen it are probably dying to talk about it, I made this thread so we can discuss it without ruining the movie for everyone who hasn't seen it yet. At least, that's the idea I'll start. Do you think we've seen the last of him? If history is any indication, I doubt it. Even with the water pressure 7 miles below sea level, I doubt it would be enough to crush him and the others..plus he has a general knack for coming back...Remember, in Beast Wars, that Megatron ended up in lava, only to return even stronger. Plus, he's Optimus' rival...it just wouldn't be the same! As for a general sequel...I have not heard anything yet, but the movie's ending left the stage wide open for a follow-up. StarScream's escape into space is an indicator he'll form his own group and come back...I liked how in the movie you could sense the tension between him an Megatron, just like old times. Scorpinock is till on the loose as well...as they didn't destroy him... he ended up escaping. He's an interesting character because they never mentioned his name in the movie, and that he never transformed...he's rather feral. Quite different from the Scorpinock in Beast Wars. One thing that somewhat has me confused is why they killed off Jazz...simply because one of the good guys had to die? Even so, being ripped in half doesn't seem fatal for a robot...unless the spark was destroyed, he should have been repairable (he is still a machine, and common knowledge is that the Spark is usually located in the chest. I also wonder why they called it the "All Spark" when it looks nothing like a Spark.

Amazing movie and easily my favorite movie I've ever seen. Giant robots + cars = awesome. But it wasn't just that...the fact that they chose the voice actors carefully, had a very good plot, and remained faithful to Transformers made it just such a great film. I'm going to see it again...and get it when it comes out of DVD!

It's ashame the car is a flop, it's still one of my favorite designs.

Welcome back Chrysler! It would be kinda cool if they could integrate the Pentastar into the winged design... Party Hard, and then make some class leading products once more!

My new favorite movie. It was very well written and surprisingly faithful to the Transformers franchise. Little touches like Prime's face armor that he uses in battle, classic transforming sounds, the tension between StarScream and Megatron, and Megatron and Optimus' rivalry were well captured. Yes, the crowd cheered when BumbleBee became the new Camaro...GM has a sure-fire hit on it's hands if the production looks just like it. It was a a bit of a weak excuse for a transformation from old to new Camaro, but it was for the best Megatron was much more sinister than in other Transformers installments...usually he had an evil sense of humor...not this time...he was just scary. They also used different voice actors for Megatron and Optimus Prime than the norm, but the choice of voice actors was very good nonetheless (Optimus was voiced by the guy who does Toonami announcements). I spotted a Charger SRT-8..although I don't think it got trashed. The Saleen Mustang made a pretty badass Barricade. There's some interesting twists that leave it open to a sequel...but i won't say so as not to spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet...I'm so seeing i again!

The last 2 look fine, but the first one is ugly any way you slice it.

That is so not cool, make sure the city pays for that...lazy bastards.

I want the 360...but really only for Halo3...I can't think of any other exclusive titles that make me want it.

STFU J00 N00B!!11 Anyway, I'd like to know how you an possibly mess up the spelling of "Lumina" After all, a double consonant after a value makes it sound short...So it's "Lumm" like "bum" instead of "Lum" like "Lume" It's basic English people!

Wow thanks, this is a lot of help! Yeah The value cover is pretty easy to get at...I will be tackling it soon. The Injectors....hrm...maybe I'll try a cleaning first...I'm not spending 200 bucks on one for that car The floor holes...maybe I'll have to meet the methods halfway I can do the "correct way" in terms of cuttung the rusted area, making a template, and getting the section from teh junkyard, but I have no experience welding, nor any of the tools...so maybe some JB Weld and some bolts? So would I use the same procedure for the rear wheel well/rocker panel area? Brakes...that sounds pretty easy! So I don't have to disconnect the brake lines (which would require bleeding)? If not then I'll definitely be tackling that soon....they are s o badly warped that the car shudders when slowing down above 45 mph...I usually engine brake with downshifting and light braking to compensate. I guess I should replace the pads while I'm at it. Since your car was at like what, 300K miles? I think that'd be a reasonably say option so long as the car is in good condition...maybe today or tomorrow we'll drive down and take a look/test drive.

LAWL!

The last one is just retarded...but then again so is the guy who can't spell "Lumina"

It's coo, but not 100k cool...not to me anyway. Plus, I'd drive it, as per it's intended purpose, thereby ruining it's value.

Erm...yeah, I posted that before. Where have you been?

I left one.

30 lashings with a wet noodle for you! Shame, shame!

I kinda like it...but why can't VW come up with names that aren't such a pain to pronounce?

Speed-bumps [roadkill]?
