  1. Astra looks great but I would imagine the Mini is a better handler.
  2. Yeah, `88 got the suspension design it was supposed to have from the beginning...it's ashame it was only offered for the last year of the car. I'd love to own a GT (I prefer the way it looks) but they seem to go for a lot more.
  3. What's strange is that the Ram is up 6 percent.
  4. It must depend on the area...I've seen 5 so far VS 20+ GMT-900 trucks
  5. I see a lot of pre-refreshed models but not that many MCE ones. Good to see the Magnum sales up this month, Charger sales keep on going.
  6. If only it was GT...
  7. In related news, my ass had it's BE$T_3V4R month, but was unable to spew out as much crap as Toyota.
  8. Probably the slave or master clutch cylinders. Had the same problem in the Prizm...both had to be replaced. Shifts great since then. Got some pics of it?
  9. 20 mpg is very good for something with that size and power.
  10. I dunno if they'll factor it in since it's not car sales, but if they do I would guess it would be under Mercedes.
  11. Chrysler Group May 2007 U.S. Sales Rise 4 Percent -- Jeep® brand up 20 percent -- Dodge brand gains 3 percent -- Chrysler brand car sales rise 22 percent fueled by "Maximize Your Miles" program -- Strong retail sales in May, fleet sales down -- Jeep Wrangler increases 114 percent, record month of May -- Inventory down by 19 percent and more than 110,000 units AUBURN HILLS, Mich., June 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Chrysler Group reported sales for May 2007 of 199,393 units; up 4 percent compared to May 2006 with 191,261. All sales figures are reported unadjusted. "Chrysler Group increased overall sales in May based on a strong retail performance and while fleet sales were down," said Darryl Jackson, Vice President -- U.S. Sales. "Especially our new offerings in the car segment continued to gain momentum, supported by the fuel economy message of our 'Maximize Your Miles' program. Driven by models like the Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Avenger and Dodge Caliber, the company's car sales increased 15 percent over the previous year." Chrysler brand car sales in May were up 22 percent year-over-year, while Dodge brand car sales increased 11 percent. Chrysler Group's offerings in the car segment include the Chrysler Sebring Sedan and Sebring Convertible, the Chrysler 300, the Dodge Avenger, Dodge Caliber and Dodge Charger. Jeep brand sales continued to increase in May after an already strong April and posted a gain of 20 percent over the previous year. This result was driven by the continuously strong Jeep Wrangler and the Jeep Patriot. Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited posted sales of 12,332 units, an all-time record for the month of May and up 114 percent compared to May 2006 with 5,754 units. The Jeep Patriot also continued its momentum and finished May with sales of 4,504 units, up 55 percent from April 2007. The vehicle is one of Chrysler Group's recently introduced models that achieve 30 miles per gallon or better in highway driving. The Chrysler Sebring Convertible posted sales of 3,082 units in the second month of availability of the 2008 model, an increase of 113 percent over April 2007. The redesigned model offers what no other convertible has offered before -- three automatically latching convertible top options: vinyl, cloth and a body-color painted steel retractable hard top, all of which can be retracted with a push of a button on the key fob. Sales of the Dodge brand increased in May by 3 percent, fueled by strong demand for the Dodge Ram pick up truck. The model finished May with sales of 31,327 units, up 6 percent year-over-year in a highly competitive segment and on the heels of four already very successful months in 2007. "As our strong car sales in May demonstrate, the recently launched 'Maximize Your Miles' program resonates well with customers and will be continued in June," said Michael Keegan, Vice President - Volume Planning and Sales Operations. "Facing continued pressure on gas prices, the program communicates Chrysler Group's fuel economy message across all three of our brands and offers customers a great value package based on low-rate financing plus additional bonus cash." Chrysler Group finished the month with 479,501 units of inventory, or a 63-day supply. Inventory is down by 19 percent compared to May 2006 when it was at 592,486 units.

  12. That's actually pretty damn good!
  13. Cool, but what's the point of covering the license plate? As someone in this thread pointed out, it's a public number.
  14. Wasn't this already posted?
  15. Doesn't the G6 also have the 3.6, 6A now as well? I wonder what makes the Sebring more expseisive than the Avenger, especially since it doesn't even have the tuning package the Avenger R/T gets.
  16. Nice to see them up.
  17. More interesting is that the MKZ is up 37.7%
  18. That's cool that the LaCrosse will be renamed Regal, I like that name better. The Saturn news surprises me though!
  19. Or you could buy a bed for that purpose. Hell of a lot cheaper if that's all you plan to use it for.
  20. Wow, one idiotic post replied to another. By the way, the Prius does more damage to the environment than a Hummer thanks to that battery, you aren't doing anyone a favor. You also wouldn't "starve" because of CO2, you would suffocate from it. There's a small difference. Buy a small car that gets good gas mileage, or shut up with the hypocrisy. Edit: Holy crap this thread is old...you dug it up just to make a retarded post like that?
  21. Try driving it and see for yourself, otherwise you have no room to judge. I like the exterior so that's subjective, as is the interior design. Materials could be better but the one I sat in was almost perfectly assembled (I think there was one slight misalignment, but I forget). If you're not gonna have crazy monkey sex on the dash and judge the car on its merits besides the interior materials, you'll find that it is a good car.
  22. You brought religion into this thread and therefore lost me and any advice I might have.
