  1. I see what you're saying, but if you were to price the Sixteen at around the 6 figure mark...that's 5+ small-midsize cars. It's like selling 6 Aveos but getting brand image at the same time. They can make a profit off the Sixteen, a hefty one at that.
  2. Was she blonde? So you fill cars up at a "bump" around your parts huh?
  3. I want those wheels! I wouldn't even mind the car.
  4. Oh he'll get an earful. The crap about the Sixteen is BS. It's an ultra luxury car. It doesn't have to be concerned with CAFE standards, it's buyer sure wouldn't be. You think The A8 W-12 an & series makers and owners give a rat's ass if it gets 4 mpg? Hell no. It would do wonders for their public image anyway. The Velite...well why would we want that when we've got perfectly mediocre products in Buicks lineup like the LaCrosse and Lucerne...well we've got the Enclave...and that's...it. Excuses, excuses, that's all it is.
  5. Hah! I'm actually a member of Dodgetalk...but ironically I barely post there...always here. --
  6. Intrepidation

    iPhone

    The G5s I use at school freeze quite a bit...a trend I found with most Macs I've come n contact with. Likewise, I have never run into a Windows XP machine that the OS froze up.
  7. My mom would love a big Caddy...even if you had to add oil to it. I forget, how bad does it leak/burn?
  8. bowtie_dude, I think the RL has a cool interior design too...I wish the exterior was as expressive as the exterior was as expressive as the interior. I guess it has the staggered dash design though
  9. I love the CTS's design...and it also has integrated controls...it makes the car's interior unique and special.
  10. They handle very well for such large cars...well weighted, communicative steering, great breaks with good pedal feel, well modulated gas pedal, and excellent suspension tuning that absorbs bumps and assorted road imperfections but at the same time has well controlled body roll. Sports Sedan is the phrase Sixxty8 used Sorry to hijack the thread! In the case of the DTS, as moving the front wheels forward does wonders for the proportions of the car.
  11. They are very nice too...well except how the door panels don't match There's something to be said about the way Toyota (along with Honda and some other brands) integrate their buttons, knobs, and displays into the dash...and look different from vehicle to vehicle...as opposed to the same square set of controls and stereos appearing in every car.
  12. Funny you should say that about black Intrepids. I love black cars, my next one will probably be one...and black looks good on any car...but for some reason it just doesn't look right on Intrepids, except the one I posted. I'm not sure...maybe it's that the factory black looks more like a dark, dark gray than a pure black. The one I posted was repainted...so maybe they used a deeper black. Maybe the black fades on Intrepids? I dunno...it's weird. I love Intrepids (like no one noticed ). IMO, they are the best looking of the LH models...with the 300M in 2nd place. I lalso ove the Aurora, 1st or 2nd generation..both are sleek and look good from any angle. I still think the 2nd gen Aurora is one of GM's best midsize sedans.
  13. That's because most cameras, including mine, suck. You need a high megapixel camera to get good quality photos, and a lot of people don't have them. Oh, that, and TURN THE BLOODY FLASH OFF!!!! And in their defense, it's not like GM, Chrysler, and Ford haven't turned out their share of crap and poor quality photos. Most car interiors look like ass when taken with a camera that isn't good.
  14. Yeah I know...but take a look anyway
  15. Most people who like the PT seem to hate the styling of the HHR...dunno why. I like them both, but I like the PT's more distinctive interior. It has personality...whereas the HHR's looks pretty generic. Other wins for the PT are: Turbo model (although the HHR Sport is coming) Better road manners (so I've heard, agan, the HHR Sport may remedy this) But the biggest win is the choice of a convertible...it just doesn't exist in the HHR lineup. The PT also starts at $15,530, while the HHR starts at $16,595. The PT gets more expensive, especially in GT trim, but then it gets you the turbo. This gets you 230 hp and 245 ft-lbs torque VS the HHR's current best engines ratings of 175 hp and 163 ft-lbs torque...and according to the comparison...you can only get the 2.4 as a panel? o_O? The PT also has "little wins" like Universal Remote Transmitter Rear ventilation ducts Cargo Area Trunk Lights 4 Wheel disc brakes (according to this the HHR has rear drums) Rolling Code Security Key Dual illuminated vanity mirrors 2 One-Touch Power Windows Not having electric steering UConnect® Hands-Free Communication The HHR has its own set of wins like: 260 watt audio system Daytime Running Lights Automatic On/Off Headlights OnStar Stolen Vehicle Tracking Radio Anti-Theft Remote Door Unlock Emergency Services Roadside Assistance Hands-Free, Voice-Activated Phone One thing that is interesting to note is that, despite the HRR's larger size, only Front Head Room is better than the PT
  16. Not all FWD cars have huge overhangs and not all RWD cars have tiny overhangs, as clearly shown Not all FWD cars have bad proportions
  17. Well the current one doesn't.
  18. The blue AVenger is an illustratio, the Compass is bad photoshop, the rest are straight photos It's all about the camera angles. The wrong angle can make any car look like crap...just ask GM photography Also, most of these look better in the real world (except the Compass)...plus you used the base Avenger and Sebring.
  19. It looks pudgy, especially around back, but it may be the camo...otherwise it looks ok from what I can tell...but I swear if it has bulging lights like every other f***ing Toyota lately, I will set one on fire and run the guy who designed it over with a Tahoe.
  20. What for under 20k (like 5 bucks under) had more horsepower than the SRT4 at that time? No being a smartass, I honestly don't know. I know it was bumped up in price when they made the diff standard, but since most people were adding the diff anyway, it seems worth the extra grand or so.
  21. Higher beltline, shorter glass, wheels pushed out to corners, wheels coming out to the edge of wheel well s as opposed to being tucked inside.
  22. Dude, it looks like a butt hole opening to take a crap!
  23. I love the Avenger...and yeah using the base models is a great way to make a car look bad...but yeah the Avenger is 78% fleet...
  24. Sounds awesome! I hope to hell that the AM3 will fit on the AM2 socket...so my motherboard can be reused. I'm looking to do upgrades to my comp as well as my gf's comp as soon as we can. I want more power, to play even better games. I'm still on the fence about Vista...on the one hand it's a security whore...Microsuck made it a security freak instead of making the OS itself less susceptible to viruses. Still newer games will be designed for Vista, and with Vista you can make better use of 64 bit processing...so I dunno. Anyway congrats on your new comp!
  25. uh dude, i still want the datsun, if you'd answer your phone we can figure a way to get it over here. i'm serious.
