By your very example, you just showed that Lutz hasn't backed away from anything then. Its apparently always been late-'10.

Ha. Whateva... The second-gen Aurora worlds more attractive and cohesive than the chunky, odd-proportioned ES350.

The ES350 is a piece of crap. Faux luxury for faux people - realtors, blue hairs, ugly professional women. It ceased being tasteful in 2001.

lol Awesome

There is no excuse for a non-flowing console from anyone due to a bench seat. The LaCrosse seamlessly flows from console to stack. So did the Century/Regal. If its part of the intended design, that's one thing.

Sprayed some undercoating in my Aurora's. Actually, sounds a bit quieter now.

You'd made a blanket declaration indicting UAW workers in general as being stupid, lazy, and overpaid. Why would anyone - especially those that have met or are UAW members - agree with that? Has the UAW gone "too far?" In aspects, without a doubt. There is a need for solidarity, but the union needs to realize that GM is no longer the enemy; Toyota et al is. Making concession and rational sacrifices is a means to preserve both and allow both parties to thrive. I've said this for awhile that the union fought long and hard for the equality and benefits we all enjoy today. Not recognizing that modern health care, 40 hour work week, labor laws, safety regulations, and nondiscriminatory work practices are the direct result of union action. Society owes labor unions gratitude and recognition for it. Now, its time for the union to take a step back, realize what it has done, and work to ensure that all workers receive equal treatment. Now is not a time to be greedy and irrational for short-term gains at the cost of long-term unemployment, something certain to happen if the Big Three are stonewalled into leaving the union (GM), leaving the country (Ford), or leaving for good (Chrysler). But, guess what? I can seperate the UAW organization from individual workers who do their jobs well. And for jobs going abroad, I blame the UAW organization slightly. I also blame our government, those foreign governments who exploit their workers, and the general American population that mills about on a daily basis not caring about anything but OMG Britney, Desperate Housewives, and what's on sale at American Eagle.

That's a very ironic statement. No groupthink to SoCal? Seems nice, too busy for me. Haven't lived there; wouldn't ever want to. I see no appeal in living more than 30min from a large body of water.

lol Who doesn't do that and what's the big deal about it?

No. It would be equally stupid and perhaps more insulting.

Great entries! Any more? Let me know if you need more time!

Great ideas so far. I know others must have some, too. Let me know if you need more time!

?? How many automotive jobs have been sent to China?

2010 - like most years - comprises twelve months, from January to December. Never have I seen a specific target date within 2010 before. Nothing is being 'backed away' from.

First Look: 2008 Chrysler 300 A Classic with Stunning Design, Exhilarating Performance and Sophisticated Interior Auburn Hills, Mich., Sep 1, 2007 - Loaded with premium features, stunning Chrysler design, fuel-saving technology and abundant standard safety features, the 2008 Chrysler 300 continues to make everything else on the road seem ordinary. The dramatic exterior design of the Chrysler 300 has been refreshed for 2008 with minor changes to the front and rear fascias and tailamps and a new rear deck lid that incorporates an SRT-inspired integrated spoiler and relocated high-mounted stop light. However, the classic proportions of long hood, short deck and dramatic profile remain to give the Chrysler 300 its continued award-winning, stunning presence for 2008. The sophisticated interior design of the Chrysler 300 has been enhanced for 2008 with a new instrument panel and center console design, highlighted with satin silver bezels. Soft-touch surfaces on arm rests and door panels, and a newly designed and relocated cruise control stalk, add to the comfortable interior. Available light-emitting diode (LED) lighting in the front cup holders and front- and rear-door map pockets provide additional driver convenience. New entertainment and communications options on the 2008 Chrysler 300 include a Boston Acoustics eight-speaker 5.1 Matrix Surround Sound system, SIRIUS Backseat TV™ and MyGIG™ Multimedia Infotainment System with optional navigation. In addition, seat-mounted air bags have been added to the front and rear side-curtain air bags for increased driver and passenger safety. The 5.7-liter HEMI®-powered Chrysler 300C offers a "Fuel Saver Mode" display, included as part of the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) that tells drivers when they are in four-cylinder mode, allowing them to modify their driving habits for improved fuel efficiency. New technologies and exterior and interior refinements continue to offer Chrysler 300 customers an elegant, confidence-inspiring vehicle at an exceptional value. 2008 CHRYSLER 300: WHAT'S NEW FOR 2008 Exterior: Three new exterior colors: Clearwater Blue Pearl Coat, Dark Titanium Metallic Clear Coat and Light Sandstone Metallic Clear Coat replace Marine Blue Pearl Coat, Linen Gold and Silver Steel Metallic Exterior refresh including front and rear fascias and grille, and new bodyside molding, taillamp design and deck lid Interior: Interior refresh including redesigned instrument panel, instrument cluster, center console and door trim panels Available adaptive cruise control (Chrysler 300C) Faux wood interior accents (Chrysler 300 Limited) iPod interface added to UConnect® module LED lighting in front cup holders and front- and rear-door map pockets (included in Luxury package on Chrysler 300 Limited, standard on Chrysler 300C) New interior color combinations of Dark Khaki/Light Graystone and Dark Slate Gray New cloth seat material New speed control stalk Upgraded soft-touch surfaces on arm rests, center console and door trim Electrical: New radio options AM/FM/CD/MP3 radio (standard) AM/FM/6CD/DVD/MP3 radio (option) MyGIG, a cutting-edge multimedia audio and entertainment system with available navigation Boston Acoustics eight-speaker 5.1 Matrix Surround Sound amplifier including subwoofer (option on Chrysler 300C) Rear-seat Video Entertainment System (VES™) includes SIRIUS Backseat TV and one-year subscription to SIRIUS Satellite Video (available on Chrysler 300 Touring Executive Series, 300 Limited and 300C models) Remote start (option on Chrysler 300 Limited, standard on Chrysler 300C) Powertrain/Chassis: New 17-inch wheel covers (standard on Chrysler 300 LX) New 17-inch machined face aluminum wheels (standard on Chrysler 300 Touring) "Fuel Saver Mode" display (standard on Chrysler 300C) Safety and Security: Power adjustable pedals (now standard on Chrysler 300 Limited) Side-curtain and seat-mounted side air bags (standard on Chrysler 300 Great American package and available on remaining models) Tire pressure monitor warning lamp (now standard on Chrysler 300 LX model) New Packages: Luxury Group package: Includes sun roof; Boston Acoustics six-speaker, 276-watt DSP Amp speaker system; MyGIG Entertainment System with AM/FM/CD/DVD/HDD/MP3 radio; California Walnut wood accent on steering wheel, door pulls and interior trim; remote start; LED-illuminated front cup holders and front- and rear-door map pockets; SmartBeam™ headlamp control system and rain-sensing windshield wipers (available on Chrysler 300 Limited) Luxury Equipment Group II package: Includes adaptive cruise control, mirrors with supplemental turn signals and puddle lamps, passenger side auto-dimming mirror, heated rear seats and California Walnut wood trim (available on Chrysler 300C) 2008 Interior 2007 Interior

I e-mailed Mr. Lutz a few hours ago to covey our support and enthusiasm for his dedication to the Chevrolet Volt and to also ask him about mules and prototypes, specifically when will we see first evidence of the E-Flex system outside the lab and on the road (and when folks can drive them). Part of the response is as follows: "The early testing before production can legally only be done by GM people. What we will drive next spring will be crude mule vehicles consisting of cut-up last generation Malibus containing experimental battery packs. Nothing can be driven by the public before the end of 2010."

No, I have to agree with the above two rants. Its hard to get involved with a car club because it tends to mostly be a bunch of old folks with Electras meeting at Dennys and complaining about their grandkids, how much nicer it is up in New England (move back?), and how everything post-1973 sucks. Granted, this may have literally been a few seniors on their day out of the home because they weren't affliliated with any actual club or anything, but I'd almost hate to be 'odd man out' in terms of my intentions - which is to have fun, check out other cool ____s, and promote the history of cool ____s.

RAV8.

I've seen it in person. The detailing sucks. Simple. Interior is attractive enough, but the outside needs serious work.
