  1. These? http://www.vipauto.com/pages/tirepages/miradasportgtx.html
  2. I do relax on the gas pedal a bit usually, but it didn't stop me from getting angry and flooring it.
  3. A Camry Hybrid, with a big Discount bumper sticker. I could tell because of the different taillamps and the excessive "Toyota Synergy Hybrid" badges.
  4. If reclining the seats while the car is moving is a stunt, then yeah...
  5. Umberto Robina (guy in GTA:VC)
  6. That was the VX Lightning. Sky got cues from it instead of the original Curve. But Vauxhall said that they won't be getting a version of the Sky, since Kappa was never engineered to be RHD. http://jalopnik.com/cars/news/oh-noes-opel...l-vx-208056.php
  7. I still don't think the Sky/GT/G2X can be called world car yet. It doesn't have RHD, Vauxhall's not getting it, so isn't a lot of other Asian countries where Opels are sold.
  8. ^ It's called CX-7, not CRX-7. But to be honest, the Mazda 3 and 6 are both damn good cars, if not a tad bit expensive. They are the only Japanese imports that hasn't been bastardized like the Corollas and Civics here ("localized" to cheapen parts). In fact, the Mazda 3s here are better than then ones in Asia. We don't get Mazda 3 Sport packages in Hong Kong.
  9. Rear looks just like our Impala, but on the side it looks like a Crown Victoria. Me likey!
  10. Your best bet is to ask if GMTruckGuy if he's having problems with his Sky.
  11. If you're coming out from an A-body, Epsilon or W-Body would be the best bet. Accords are OK, but I personally find them a bit tight in space. My friend has a 2003 Accord, it's nice but inside it's rather small.
  12. Then you should get TDU. I have a pure GM fleet right now: - Sky - Corvette Z06 with Competition package - 2004 GTO - '72 Firebird - '67 Panther Z/28
  13. It looks like one piece. The lower grille looks totally different from our cars, unlike the GMA lower piece. Good to see you around again, Prime.
  14. Well I came out from a Cavalier, so I'm biased on my G6. My friend did comment on my car and said it was very quiet. He also drove another G6 V6, and commented how peppy and smooth the engine was, so I guess that applies to mine as well.
  15. This thing is worse than the Europeans and Japanese taxing cars by engine displacement.
  16. Saab has a version too. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=85...mp;q=saab+suite
  17. U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Mary E. Peters Announces A Substantial Life-Saving Technology For All New Passenger Vehicles In a move that could ultimately save up to 10,000 lives each year on U.S. roadways, the nation's top transportation official today announced plans to make new crash prevention technology standard equipment on every new passenger vehicle sold in America by 2012. U.S. Transportation Secretary Mary E. Peters and National Highway Traffic Safety Administrator Nicole R. Nason announced the final rule to require the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) on all new passenger vehicles during a tour with auto makers at the New York International Auto Show today. ESC uses automatic computer controlled braking to keep drivers from losing control on slippery roads or in emergency maneuvers, in many cases preventing deadly rollovers from occurring. “This technology will save thousands of lives. Like airbags and seat belts, ten years down the road we will look back at the new ESC technology and wonder how we ever drove a car without it.” Secretary Peters said. “ESC technology will put the brakes on crashes and help drivers keep control of their cars in critical situations,” Administer Nason said. “ESC works, it will save lives, and it can give American drivers and passengers the peace of mind that comes from knowing their vehicles have some of the most technologically advanced safety equipment available.” The final rule will require all manufacturers to begin equipping passenger vehicles with ESC starting with model year 2009, and to have the feature available as standard equipment on all new passenger vehicles by the 2012 model year (September 2011). The agency estimates ESC will save between 5,300 and 9,600 lives annually and prevent between 168,000 and 238,000 injuries. The estimated average cost of ESC is approximately $111 per vehicle, assuming the model already features ABS brakes. A copy of the final regulation and the accompanying regulatory analysis can obtained at http://www.safercar.gov/esc/Rule.pdf. More information on the ESC technology can be found at http://nhtsa.gov/portal/site/nhtsa/menuite...53ab10cba046a0/ Original article:http://www.dot.gov/affairs/dot3707.htm -- So I guess all GM cars will have Stabilitrak by then.
  18. We should make a chopping comp for this!
  19. You bet it would be called a Hyundai Fridgeline.
  20. It's useful, because it actually affects the view when you're in the cockpit mode. I actually had to readjust the seat when I was in the Koenigsegg and the Z06.
  21. No no, interiors that you actually sit in, not convertible interiors peeking into. As far as I know the last one to do real interiors is Porsche Unleashed.
  22. And one thing, TDU has interiors. GT4 doesn't. You can even crank down your windows or adjust your driving seat position.
