  1. I like the Opel version of this better, Agila. But if this has a chance to come to the States I say bring it. Gas prices here are beginning to match the rest of the world. Might as well have the high mileage offerings ready.
  2. I like it. It looks tiny, but based on griff's comments it is Yaris sized, so this would work as an Aveo 5 door replacement. It looks sculpted and raw if not a little ungangly. But it seems well sized and will do well for what it is. So is this a Corsa twin or a bigger/smaller relative?
  3. [bean counter's logic]Well the trucks do already have best in class mileage so why not?[/bean counter's logic]
  4. I think there is going to have to be a EPII G6, the Alpha car won't be ready before 2010 at the earliest and the rest of the Epsilon I cars should have made the switch before then.
  5. Not just for rednecks anymore!
  6. It likely won't. The chop was the FWD Pontiac G6 coupe. This will be RWD and should share lines and cues from the HDC8 concept, I think that is the one, mentioned in the article.
  7. Any interior changes? BTW don't get yourself fired!
  8. Hmmm.... I wouldn't have though Hyundai would be working on a 4 cylinder varient for this car. But that surely is a turbo 4 in the bay. The profile doesn't look bad either.
  9. Somebody is getting fired. GM must have the WORST security ever!
  10. Boy that is more than a mouthful isn't it?!
  11. That 'artist' needs to stop looking at an Acura RL when rendering a Saturn Aura.
  12. It is likely that the FWD Avalon, which is built alongside the Camry (at least in KY), is cheaper to build/engineer than the Crown and therefore more profitable.If Toyota needs RWD for any market it is Australia.
  13. Tornadoes happen but not all that often that you live in fear. Heck in KY we never even paid much attention to them, usually us kids were outside trying to spot one.As for the headline arieal photos != satalite photos.
  14. Yeah it is the Opel Insignia concept, supposedly the 1st Zeta but inreality it was a Sigma chassis under the skin. I think the 4 sliders idea has merit. Imagine how easy it would be to park and not worry about you bumping someone's door or them bumping yours.
  15. 5 doors: Caliber, HHR. Sedans: Civic, Sentra, Mazda 3, Cobalt, Ion. Astra not included b/c not available yet.
  16. Stabilitrak and side curtain airbags are safety items, both of which make the Coblat 5 start. Safety is important to people w/ kids and families. Not everyone wants Recaro racing seats. Sometimes safety is more important. Remember this in the future and it will serve you well: Just because you want something doesn't mean everyone does.
  17. Likewise on the GM side. Click here for GM facilities in the US. Broken down by each state then plant. GM has it broken down by state showing not only vehicles built there but also the # of employees at each facility, in addition to various facts of the plants history and local community. Some interesting numbers from ( http://www.gm.com/company/corp_info/global...rica/index.html ) for North America Years ended December 31 2004 2005 Total net sales & revenues ($U.S., in millions) $114,545 $104,755 Net income (loss), $U.S., in millions $1,409 ($8,239) Net margin 1.2% (7.9%) Production volume (in thousands) Cars 1,997 1,834 Trucks 3,223 3,022 Total GMNA 5,220 4,856 Vehicle unit sales (In thousands) Industrywide, North America 20,282 20,542 GM market share (NA) 26.7% 25.5% Industry – U.S 17,302 17,455 GM market share (U.S.) 27.2% 25.9% GM cars 24.9% 22.6% GM trucks 29.0% 28.5% Employment (in thousands) 181 173 For the US Link.

  18. No B-pillar hardtop sedan! So how would the old school hardtop fans feel about a car w/ a sliding glass door but no B-pillar?
  19. Yeah, me= Sorry LA, I have been off kilter since I have been outta school. Go back tomorrow and hopefully get myself back on track.
  20. Who the hell I was quoting is who I was talking to! Wasn't that clear?
  21. You guys got it all wrong see since the Sport Trac is a Ford it spontaneously combusted and the Toyota driver was looking at that when it rear ended another car. Hence the damage.
  22. You mean the one they are purposely limiting sales of?
  23. Here's another personal observation I saw a Aura XE in my apartment lot w/ the green E on the back. Doesn't mean much though does it?
  24. Your hunting for that banning aren't you? Stop trolling.
