Intrepidation

Which is all Pontiac has going for it, unless you count plastic cladding or being ugly and FWD?

Are you serious? I want it to die now. I'd pick the CompASS over this (even though this thing has a nice interior).

How come Vauxhall gets cooler (20 inch) wheels and the fast steering wheel but the G8 doesn't?

I've always found it immoral that you have to pay money to have your life saved. If you can't pay, you die. Sure, the doctors and hospital staff need to make a living, but how could you turn someone who is ill away because they can't pay for it? Then again what would the solution be? Have the government pay for it?

One thing I feel the need to mention is in regards to fleet. There aren't too many fleeted cars that I've come across in my area. This includes the Caliber, Magnum, 300, and Charger. Hell, even most Impalas I see are owned. Numbers are numbers of course, but this is what I see in my area

Quoted for truth.

You're being hard on yourself dude. If you were a bad driver you would have either hit the van or merged into the other lane without looking, thus hitting the SUV. If anyone is the bad driver in this scenario it's the moron SUV driver who couldn't keep a steady speed (I hate those kind of drivers).

Thanks guys, I appreciate it Well, the funny thing was, earlier that day before I went to see my doctor my fever read 103, but I felt so hot that I went there in shorts and short sleeve shirt because the cold air felt so good. When they read off my temp it was like 97.8 Last night at 10pm or son it read 105.3, so we went to the hospital (I could barely walk, felt kinda dizzy and very disoriented and wasn't able to talk too well. This time I wore pants and my coat though. They took the temp and it read 101, gave me some Tylenol, and had us go to one of the rooms. They tested be for the flu (which involves shoving something up your nose), and retook my temp, which had gone back up to 103. They acted more quickly after that. They decided to have me take a high dose of ibuprofen. If you've ever read the label on t he package. it says take 1 200mg tablet every 4 hours (or 2 tablets if the fever doesn't respond) and do not exceed 6 within 24 hours unless directed by doctor. Well they have me taking 4 (800mg) tablets every 8 hours (and between the doses, 2 tablets of Tylenol). So they gave me my first heavy dose of ibuprofen and I got out of the hospital at like midnight or so, went straight to bed..and around 3 or so I sat straight up and started talking to Jessica. Boy what a difference. I'm still sick, but the fever is gone finally, I don't have hot and cold flashes, and for the first time since Thursday I don't have a headache. Sity8: I know it's deadly after a certain amount of time I just dunno how long.

Yup, since Thursday....I spent last night at the hospital because the thermometer was reading 105.3. Fun times...not really.

It looks very durivative, but at least it's not ugly..... BV the yellow sig is quite a bit different.

Cheap interior combined with styling that hasn't aged well and only one powertrain does not a good truck make. Everything but the Ranger outclasses it.

The Viper could be marketed differently. It's more hardcore and the Corvette is more everyday/casual. Of course, Daimler doesn't give a $h! who would buy them or what they did with Chrysler. I don't want anyone to buy Chrysler unless it means it becoming it's own company again (and American at that). This includes GM, but if it were to happen, and assuming GM kept Chrysler intact, it would be the lesser evil. Of course if all it did was scrap most of the models and brands and just used the leftovers for itself, I would hate GM forever. He likes Mopar?

Cars going around in circles for 4 hours...exciting....not. It sucks before Toyota entered and it sucks now. Just my opnion.

That's pretty sweet.

I'm also in a bad mood, so that probably doesn't help. :\

I did not say the trannies were any better in quality I mean it has an extra gear compared to the 4-speed in the Silverado and F-150. I don't want GM to own Chrysler, it's bad for GM and bad for Chrysler...we all pretty much agree on that. I'm sick of all the negativity "Chrysler products are crap, inferior to everything GM has, GM is t3h g0d and Chrysler is t3h suxzorz, let the Chinese buy them" bull $h!. Chrysler should be it's own company again. f@#k the Germans, f@#k the Asians, f@#k the French, f@#k GM owning it. You know I'm well aware this is a GM fansite first, so I expect people to have their priorities on GM, but hell, even Ford gets better remarks than Chrysler "c'mon Ford, we love you" VS "let the Chinese have Chrysler" It seems to be a lot of anti-Chrysler sentiment lately...or always I guess. Whatever, there's no longer a point in trying to defend the company since no one here except like 4 people gives a rat's ass...so I'm done with the thread.

The Ram is not a crap truck. Of course what else is new...typical Chrysler bashing. It has more power than the F-150, more gears than the F-150 and the Silverado, sharp handling (for a truck), it was the first (I think) to have a NAV system offered, and it has more safety feature than the F-150. I think the design of the F-150's interior is nicer, and it's a nice truck, but the Ram is far from a piece of crap.

Happy birthday!

loud fart

I suppose we should dump those too, like most people here want to happen to Chrysler...oh wait...GM bias...nevermind. You make great points.

So what does he think of his Sebring?

The LX cars. What you all keep forgetting that the Zeta platform you're all creaming yourselves over and swearing up and down (without driving it) is better than the LX platform isn't in production in America yet. The Charger's sales continue to be strong, the 300 has not dropped dramatically, and the Magnum sells badly because people are idiots who think they need an SUV instead of a wagon...cuz it's uncool (to have a 345 hp wagon wih 20" wheels...yeah...uncool indeed ). I suppose the FWD ancient platform on which the Impala is based is superior? Or maybe the archaic Panther platform with it's pathetic 220 something horsepower V8 is better? Oh it must be the lame ass 500-err Taurus that's superior? No? Didn't think so. Until the G8 is on sale there is nothing that can comepete with the LX cars. The Caliber is competetive. The interior may be cheap but it is functional. I see more of them than Cobalts and Cobalts have been out longer. The Nitro is unique to this class in that it's not a p*ssy CUV. It has style, power, and functinality. How many vehicles in it's class have all of those attributes? The CR-V? The Viper (though a niche product) is more than competitive. It is an excellent beast of a machine just as the Corvette is. The Avenger may not be perfect (roofline) but then neither is the new Malibu (lame-ass...pun intended), it may be down 20 or so horsepower, but it has a 6-speed and is no slouch. I may not care for the Sebring but peopel obviously like it if it sells. My girlfriend thinks it's very pretty for example. The Pacifica started the large Crossover craze. it's not perfect but it's a handsome vehicle with a beautiful interior and a good powertrain. 3rd road occupants may not love it but the first 2 rows probably do. The PT Cruiser is still a decent seller after all these ears and kicked off the retro fad that GM itself decided to copy. The Durango is aging but is still unique size-wise. The Ram has it's own loyal following and is no pushover truck. The GMT-900's are superior (except the trannies), but they are newer, so that's expected. The Dakota has the only V8 in it's class and the highest towing capacity. It's worlds better than the $h!box Canyon/Colorado twins. -- The Sebring may not be my cup of tea but people obviously like it if it sells. My girlfriend likes i a lot and thinks it's very pretty for example. The PT Cruiser kicked off the retro fad with GM copying it eventually. It still sells decently. The Pacifica created the large crossover market. It still oooks good, has an excellent interior, and has a good powertrain. 3d row occupants may not love it but the first 2 rows probably do.

They are replaceing the part no charge when it gets in. Until then we've got 3 people and 2 working cars...both Dodges...non reliable my ass
