  1. If a RWD vehicle is coming from Holden, I think Pontiac would be the one to get it Also, as far as I know Chrysler is developing the FWD minivan architecture which VW will use, and I believe that VW and Chrysler aren't workiing on a small car architecture, they canceled plans, though I could be wrong.
  2. Oooor not: "There has been no decision to produce the Dodge Tomahawk," Chrysler design spokesman Sam Locricchio told Leftlane News. "The vehicle remains a design exercise to underscore — in an extreme fashion — the performance elements that make up the Dodge brand," Mr. Locricchio said. "[The Tomahawk is] purely a concept to date." Upon further research, it seems the weblog that started the Tomahawk rumor was citing outdated information from shortly after the concept's deb
  3. What did the 1990 Fiero protoype look like?
  4. Windows XP has never crashed on me, never froze either. If you want reliable version of windows make sure to use 2000 or XP, but avoid at all costs ME...blue screen of death is bad... I built my computer, I had some issues with the original motherboard (never buy Chaintech), so a year later I replaced with an ABIT and I haven't had problems since. i also have a gig of ram and an upgaded graphics card running with an Althon XP (AMD rocks, f@#k Intel). Anyway, I love my comp, it runs great and is very fast. Media Center is a waist money, ATI TV Wonder does the same stuff for a hell of a lot less. Also, Macs suck.
  5. very funny, but don't knock it too much, that EMMM DEEE ESSS tech-nahl-uhjee is in several GM vehicles under a diffeent name for fuel-savin'
  6. My little brother is 16, though for now at least he has not appeared interesting in getting his license.
  7. Amazingly beautiful car!
  8. It may not be the most revolutionary design but the differences are there, and are enough to make me like the car a lot more. The interior looks great and of course, it handles well. Good job Nissan.
  9. It's ashame the Raider isn't selling well, I happen to like that truck a lot.
  10. I don't like the sedan at all, I prefer the coupe, but it's a smart move by Honda to offer the Si to people who need the practicality of a sedan but want the performance model.

    You mentioned the looked like 15s, and they don't. That is the ugliest 3-series BMW every made, the real coupe or the sedan are far better looking (except the new sedan, the coupe is better). So I'm accustomed to awkward cars am I? So I guess that makes the Z06, Sky, GT, Viper, and GT500 awkward too? since I like those and I am quite accustomed to them.
  12. I really like the Lambadas, the Acadia looks very good in black, good pass off as a luxury CUV
  13. Kinda looks like a mini B9 Tribeca without the smiley face nose (a good thing)

    Yeah, weather you hate the car or love it, the Avenger stands out in the midsize segment, and that alone will attract buyers. Isn't it supposed to get the same powertrain options as the Sebring? If so then they'll be pretty good. I like the couple from the rear 3/4th a lot, just teh sedan nose doesn't work with the rest of the body to me...

    I don't but hey to each his own. IMO everything in the Pontiac lineup save the Solctice is lame or odd looking. (GTO awesome car but lame styling, Torrent Ok styling but lame engine and interior, Grand Prix, G6 lame both inside and out...if only it looked like the concept). As for the interior, supposedly this and the Sebring are to have a greater emphasis on materials...so I'll hold judgement for now. Personally, I'm still not sure I like the Sebring, but this car I like a lot.

    Someone seems high and mighty like he knows everything, and that you're sole purpose has been to bash Chrysler products, since that's all I ever see from you. If you wanna talk awkward and don't ant it to backfire on you you should leave the Grand Prix, especially in GXP form where the front tires are wider than the rears...don't get much more awkward than that. Plus that car looks ugly from the rear and a bit overdone in the front. Sure, I'll agree with you that the Dakota ain't pretty, and that a lot of Chrysler's interiors have been cheap as of late, but since you can't even see the interior I would hardly call it cheap. 15"s? Are you blind? Those have got to be at least 17"s but since it's an R/T they are probably 18"s Sure they could be a bit larger, but they aren't 15"s. The only panel that looks a bit off is the left side of the trunk where it meets the tail lights. But it is preproduction and the preproduction Aura's had misalligned trim panels that the productions versions don't have. Let's also not forget that, at least the photso I found, aren't the best quality photos, and the pixelation can blur some of the lines. And you say I'm accustomed to "ugly styling and weird proportions"? I seem to recall you lusting after an ugly-ass 3-series not too long ago.

    Nope, I see quite clearly, and the G6 coupe is even worse with it's odd proportions.
  18. Intrepidation

    Yeah I'm sure the G6 for example is far better with it's awkward front end, 80's panel gaps (also judging from these pics the Avenger's gaps look pretty damn small), bad stance and Japanese wannabe styling. Reg wouldn't know good styling if it ran him over. I recall you owning a 500 and if I remember right..an Aztek?
  19. The United States isn't the only place the Dodge Caliber is selling like hot cakes. According to a report by Automotive News Europe, the Caliber is enjoying a great deal of success in many European markets, with many customers now facing six-month waiting lists. "We underestimated demand for the product," Chrysler's Thomas Hausch told the trade publication. So far, the car has been on the market for three months overseas. Sales thus far have totaled 3,238 Calibers in western Europe. In 2005, Dodge sold 311 vehicles in total in the same market. The vehicles are selling "without any incentives," a major dealer in Paris said.
  20. I don't like the non painted bumpers, but with all the paint it looks pretty damn good. To the people saying that it's cheap and will fall off...that plastic is what every new car and SUV has under the paint, including the crappy `Nox. At least the Nitro will have powertrain choices...and the powertrains won't suck.

    I can't see any of the pics...I wanna see what the car looks like Edit: W00t! I found some pics...and I gotta say the car looks great, much better than the Sebring. Very nicely done, and sorta like a mix between the old Stratus and the Charger. I love it, I don't even need to warm up to it's styling like I did the Charger
  22. At least Toyota (and Mazda, Nissan, and Honda) can integrate their radios unlike GM, Ford, and Chrysler (sadly).
  23. There's no excuse for that, Toyota's quality has really been going to $h! lately. It also means there's no safe way to buy a Camry, either egine/autobox combo will get you a $h!ty tansmission, hah. That guy should consider trading it for an Aura or new Sebring.
  24. I'd like to know that too, cuz if you could get that leather with the metal, it'd look almost identical to the concept.
  25. If there is one thing I gotta hand to Toyota and Honda it's how nice their center stacks looks because all of their newer models feature fully integrated controls. Nissan is doing it too, it'll be so great once Ford, GM, and Chrysler start doing it.
