Intrepidation

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD0UVI99R8Q&search=top%20gear Any mortal car would be dead after the ocean test...not this thing. The audio messes up near the end of the vid, but you get the idea

So will they sell any of those vehicles?

These are of the dam. The water is MUCH higher than it usually is. Cannal next to the damn These are of a park upriver from the dam, sort of near my house This plaque is in a parking lot of a former sandwich shop...theyused to host classic car shows...it's up the road from the park These are a couple pics from inside my car, of what is normally a parking lot/park downriver of the dam.

So I live in Lawrence, MA uphill from teh Merrimack.I drove to various places today. There was already some flooding starting...the bridge by the damn and anywhere by the river was drawing crowds like I'd never seen drawn to a river before. I have somepics I'll post shortly. So what's the situation like where other New England residents live?

I always liked the first gen Straus/Breeze/Sebring triplets. I like teh Dodge grill best...I'm eyeing a black one at the used car dealership nearby (there is a white Sebring there too). I just hope teh river nerarby doesn't flood the cars.

I will admit this is far better than any other subcompact we have in the states...so bring it over GM

That's a new one. I've always known it to mean what it implies...being with the stupid guy. It doesn't make sense for an agreement, but oh well.

Oh to be that lucky bastard in the seat of that car huh?

Uh BV...how come in one post you're "I'm with stupid sign is directed at the guy who likes the Subaru, while the next seems to be defending it? Anyway, I like the Legacy sedan and the Outback wagon alot...very handsome cars. The refresh doesn't look much different...thankfully it seems to have evaded the corporate smiley. As for your post balthazar...isn't that substandard quality one of GM's trademarks? Only messing (even if there is truth to that) . Anyway, I know people who have owned Subarus...they don't have these horrible quality problems you keep talking about.

I can agree with Ford needing to straighten up, but Chrysler? Tell me...of the domestics...who is the only one actually making profits? GM finally made a profit this quarter, but DCX has been making profits for a while. I don't think Chrysler Group needs to "straighten up" since they seem to be doing pretty damn good, and with their midsizers right around the corner, plus the redesigned minivans on their way, the Nitro, a facelifted Durango plus hybrid, and possibly a subcompact, I think they're doing quite well, and have a good gameplan. Remember, DCX has the key ingredient that GM and Ford have been lacking for so long... bold, distinctive, American cars, not Japanese wannabes. GM is realizing this faster than Ford...who in the meantime can't even make a good ad campain these days.

No way, you need those guys for it to be a "proper" Top Gear God...I can only imagine the horrors the American version might be like.

I still prefer gauges behind the steering wheel. I'm used to it...plus The design looks better. that's juts an opinion though.

Good point

Yeah...neither one are awe-inspiring. The Aveo would get my vote, if only because I don't like centrally mounted gauge clusters. Also, I'm not a huge fan of the grill on the Yaris.

Yeah...I wouldn't wanna touch that thing

No kidding!

Wow that's up their with some of the stupidest things I've ever heard. But yeah, I was talking about photoshopping it.

the concept or the original?

Yep...that's what it reminds me of...previous gen Camry...bleh

The fact that the center stack and the center console don't line up bugs me. The exterior looks alright, but looks too rounded...like it had Korean influence.

http://www.thecarconnection.com/Vehicle_Re...180.A10330.htmlUm...no it's not. It's on a unique platofrm. Try reading the articles.

I love how you guys bitch and moan that the Charger isn't retro enough and has too many doors. So when Dodge comes out with what you want, looking retro and all, you call it fat and ungainly. Yeah ok. Makes perfect sense. Some people have pretty scewed up logic.

I wouldn't change a damn thing on that car. I hope they keep the radio design too. Such a sexy car!

Yeah, especially with gas prices around the 3 bucks a gallon

The more I see the interior the more I like it. I hope the leather stays...I wonder if the fold down tables will? I also wonder if this Buick will finally have real wood trim not the fake crap
