Here is my relationship advice, just get a dog! They are always happy to see you!

I'm a Son of a Beach ... Delaware Beach (If you look really carefully, past the ship, you can see ZL-1 waving at me in Portugal) Texas Beach

Oh it won't be me getting the sex change my little munchkin, remember I'm the man in our relationship. :rotflmao:

Iron Horse - Brand of bicycle I ride.

I've always had bad luck with 3.0 engines.

My wife, myself and my 16 year old daughter discussed the 2010 Equinox at the Border Cafe last night. It's on the wife's list of replacement vehicles for her 2005 Equinox. My daughter will get her mom's 2005 Equinox when she goes off to college in 2010. My wife sometimes see's GM new products even before Chis Doane does. :AH-HA_wink: If you're ever in Delaware, New Jersey or Massachusetts, I recommend the Border Cafe if you like Tex/Mex or Cajun food. http://www.bordercafe.com/ That is not my wife in my avatar, but I sure do love that pic ...

More so than Detroit?

No, I'm just trying to make you jealous, is it working?

That was impressive and interesting at the same time.

Better watch out, you'll get Diabetes ...

Looks like you're squeezing it's little throat.

Come to Iceland with me DF!

I take issue with the East German Trabant being on the list, don't they know an East German Icon when they see it? http://www.spiegel.de/international/german...,489125,00.html

Es ist logisch, mich zu, Herr Ganesh ...

It's nice to have a government that actually cares about it's car industry, I guess you wouldn't know about that.

GM Europe isn't going anywhere, even if GMNA went belly up.

Who said I was a tech-y? Some say I'm just a factory grunt, not that there is anything wrong with that. You do know those statues start out with a computer using imaging technology don't you? Well I guess you found me out, I've been traveling to Italia on the weekends to work on my gravestone, just a little something I fancy.

Why does it have the NATO logo on the trunk?

GMNA had this picked out for their tombstone.

Don't you see what is happening, GM is starving Pontiac of product, hoping that the Pontiac part of BPG withers and dies. All the while increasing platforms within Buick the core Brand. With a one platform lineup customers will soon forget about Pontiac and BPG dealers will order fewer and fewer Pontiacs until they just don't order them at all. This is a good legal strategy so GM won't have to buyout the dealers and can say, since very few dealers are ordering Pontiac, and in most cases none are, the brand will be shut down.

Now that OPEC has decided to cut millions of barrels of crude a day, have you thought about what might happen if gas prices go back up?

Just because they are on the same platform doesn't mean they will look the same or have the function, or even draw the same buyers. Did you think the Cadillac and Chevy versions would have looked the same? The Chevy version will draw in the Camaro crowd, while the Cadillac version will take the Alpha into a trendier dimension. As for the Buick Alpha, it will remind Americans of the Buick Reatta, which sported its own unique body style and was crafted with an attention to detail, except that it will be RWD. The Buick version will appeal nicely to Americans and the Chinese that don't want a Camaro and can't afford a Cadilliac. The Alpha will fit into GM's new Core Brand strategy of having a Volume version (Chevy), a well crafted version 2 or 3 levels above Chevy (Buick), and a trendy Version 2 or 3 steps above Buick (Cadillac). Sort of like having the sizes of small, medium, and large. The good news is that GM won't supersize the platform and give it to all it's car brands. As for your concern about price between the Delta II and Alpha, what does it matter? They are 2 different platforms and one is a FWD, while the other is a RWD. You can buy apples and oranges at a supermarket that are similarly priced, but the fact remains, they are two different types of fruit, the same will hold true for the Delta II and Alpha. Oh and never assume, you know what they say about that. :AH-HA_wink:

I remember this like it was yesterday, I also have no words ...
