  1. Were you looking at the cars? :AH-HA_wink:
  2. Well when I replace the GXP in 2 years it won't be a 3er it will be a 5er (530xi to be exact). I will look at the 2009 CTS-V 1st, but I'm being pulled towards BMW. The G8 doesn't do it for me, why would I want a clone of a last generation BMW, after all that was Mike Simcoe's benchmark as I recall.
  3. Why? :rotflmao:
  4. When are we voting on this one?
  5. And what are these missteps? I don't think you will be able to convince many people in the real world of that! That's like saying people will buy store brand peanutbutter instead of Skippy or Jiff! It just isn't going to happen it's all about the name brand recognition, and Pontiac is considered storebrand. I know if i have the choice between Skippy(BMW) or storebrand(G8), which one I'll buy!
  6. Nope, I'm not. And Rehoboth is full of something, but it's not alcoholics! :AH-HA_wink:
  7. Australia is in the midst of a crippling drought, the country's worst on record. Many towns and cities have been forced to enact drastic water restrictions as reservoirs have run dry. Rivers have been reduced to a trickle. The drought has severely damaged the agricultural sector. Farmers are raising emaciated cattle and sheep. Cotton-lint production has plummeted. Wine grape and rice output has collapsed. Agricultural production has fallen by almost one-quarter in a year. And it is estimated that the drought has knocked three-quarters to 1 per cent off the country's growth as a whole. And now the government is reaching for desperate measures. Australia's Prime Minister, John Howard, has announced there may be a ban on the use of the country's largest river system for irrigation unless there is significant rainfall over the next two months. The government is preparing to wrest regulatory control of the Murray and Darling rivers from the five states through which they run to ensure that water is reserved for urban drinking supplies and farmers' domestic use. The Murray-Darling river basin has been called Australia's "food bowl". It generates about 40 per cent of the country's farm produce. If this tract of land - the size of France and Spain combined - is denied irrigation it would spell ruin for Australia's agricultural sector. Thousands of farmers could lose their citrus, almond and olive trees if they cannot be watered. Trees would die and production would be impossible for at least half a decade. Even if the rains do come in Australia in the coming weeks, as forecast, they will have to be especially long and prolonged to alleviate the crisis. Moreover, this is a taste of things to come - not just for Australia, but the world. As the latest report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change makes clear, the runaway warming of the earth will bring severe drought in its wake. And the economic consequences will be disastrous. Sir Nicholas Stern's report for the Treasury outlined last year how climate change could be as economically traumatic as the Great Depression or the world wars of the 20th century.

  8. Interesting! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7v_LLkEIYc0
  9. Well for me, my Grand Prix GXP most likely will be the last Pontiac I buy, and if I don't like the CTS when I see an actual production version, it may be the last GM vehicle I buy period. Hello BMW!
  10. Perchè lo avete antipatia per?
  11. That's the Kangaroo excrement you smell! Almost like being in Avondale or Kennett Square, PA!
  12. I don't know this guy, but I see him asking all the time should he buy this or that. Is he a kid or an old dude like 40 something plus?
  13. Go visit BV, he's in the same state as you are! :AH-HA_wink:
  14. I don't mind that, it's better than getting to know my Holden service advisor, Umm I mean my Pontiac service advisor! :AH-HA_wink:
  15. Blanket
  16. Pros Toyota Sucks Cons Toyota Sucks Vehicle shown may not be drivable, under warranty, or street legal
  17. Union Jack
  18. I'm leaning to either a Cadillac CTS with AWD or a BMW 530xi. I'm leaning more to the 530xi, than to the Caddy at this point.
  19. That is funny as $h!! :rotflmao:
