Hmm... Looks good. I see the theme of the grill. While it is Mazda-like, it still somewhat fits with Saturn's theme with the larger bar housing the Saturn badge. Again, though, it looks good. Really good. Looks like projector beam headlights...

Happy 27th birthday, Sir Chris gay-spy-photographer Doane!

NOS, that sounds horrible... Anyways, since we're on the topic of crashes, I'll have to post some pics of pics of when my mom wrecked her 00 GASE as well as the newspaper clipping of when my cousin wrecked his 91 Firebird... 2 weeks after he got his license.

Such a sad sight... and thanks to the poor quality of the pic, I can't exactly tell what happened? I see what looks like a dirt ditch and some bushes...? IDK, but it's very, very, very sad.

What's an auto? Once I learn what one is, I'll probably prefer a floor shifter. The Blazer has a column shifter and it feels completely unnatural to me. It's like... where's the clutch? How can I not shift? Why must I play with the lever that usually controls the windsheild wipes? Why do I have to pull it then rotate it up or down the column? What the hell is this wierd thing? I hate it. Atleast in the old 00 GASE, it more natural even if you still couldn't shift and use a clutch. In other words, less weird.

Sadly, I'm in PA and have no car nor any spendable money.

Well... still, there's a problem when my Blazer, my great aunt's Blazer, my grandpa's S10, and my other grandpa's Silverado... all have the push buttom 4x4 system and all have problems. In the the case of our Blazer, it's the third time with this problem. I can't speak for others, but it's quite annoying with our's. Makes me want to drive the thing off of a cliff (obviously not just for that problem, but for it's many other problems as well... now including the rear brakes! )

You want to talk about people living in their own world? *ahem* Coming from someone other than you, I would understand as some people are like that around here. But you? Ironic, the same thing you said could be said about yourself. Now, why are you still here? Especially if you think so kindly about the people here?That's something worth arguing....

Ugh... they didn't improve the front fascia with that grill. I liked how the concept looked, though, it was still weird like regular Galants. The interior... wouldn't be so bad if they did something with that awful steering whee, huge NAV thing, cheap gauge surround (i.e. not the actual gauges, but how it looks like the whole thing was *stuck on* to the dash), and that center console.

You know... I'm starting to actually agree. Seeing the pic Bimmer posted instantly made me think of this. I always thought the coupes looked better, but after seeing it in person and being underwhelmed and now seeing the sedan with bigger wheels and better front fascia, I get the feeling the sedan is proportioned better. The rear is still horrible, though, IMO.As for the interior, after seeing it in person... it's not as bad as it looks. I kind of like it.

You don't understand what I'm thinking... a turbo 3.6L with D.I., to me, would have much more horsepower than the 5.3L (303hp) in the the GP (like atleast 340hp). Factor it in with a manual transmission... and yeah, torque steer would be a problem. With an auto it would be acceptable, but in a performance oriented trim... what autos? In my world, that is. Again, though, GM's auto trannies help to reduce torque steer. Take that away and even with the other things GM has done to reduce torque steer, it's not going to be unnoticeable and composed. One obvious thing is to ask yourself what's the most hp on any FWD GM car with a manual tranny. I'm pretty sure it's the Saab 9-3 with the 2.8L turbo and last time I checked, torque steer was a complaint in reviews. Hell, considering my torqueless-feeling 150hp and ~145lb/ft Quad4 with a 5spd had noticeable torque steer... Yeah.

The GA has those... and I love 'em more than I could any stupid fender badge.

Yes, but a souped up V6 is sooooooo much more invigorating. T'was what I was thinking. Direct Injection as well as other methods to get more power out it. That and in my own little word, the 3.9L would *zap* disappear with the 3.5L in favor of DOHC V6s. A turbo 3.6L would be nice, but it is only a FWD vehicle. Too much power and torque steer will be a major problem, no matter what advancements GM has made in this area. Ding, ding, ding! T'was also what I was thinking. V8s and higher displacement V6s are bad.

Since being competitive now seems to be a hot topic... I'll just say that I've never said it wasn't competitive, just that the design and some materials are lacking. Was there anything wrong with it? Other than my typical way of making that clear...? And my annoyance with Razor...? Or anything thing else like that...?

track I think we should start with another new word: super­calli­fragilistic­expiali­docious. *edit* Damn you guys and your faster computers/internet.

You can say that again... *cough* Blazer *cough* stupid POS *cough* *cough*

I know... isn't it?!?!? Wow... it's so awesome. Hey, it matces my sig.

Well, Blu... I'll just say this, I've talked to my mom a few more times (about this and other things... like her talking to another guy, etc.) since she originally confronted me about everything last Sunday, i.e. when she basically said "I know you're gay." Anyways, she's since told me that even before she found out for sure by coming here and reading my PMs (yeah...), she lately had... assumptions that I might be. Considering that I'm not noticeably gay, have a few playboys/etc. by my bed, used to have some posters on my door, and have had my share of girlfriends, the last of which she helped me buy a ring for... It surprised me. Shocked me, really. I'm not saying that your mom would be the same way, but maybe mothers really do just know these things. Although, I didn't really try to hide it the best that I could have. I mean, I've accidentally left the History on my PC in tact long after going to certain sites as well as have my favorites filled with pics and sites. So who knows... but my mom obviously wasn't the only one, according to others here. Well anyways, she took it better than I thought, but she still wasn't completely fine with it or understand it. I had to clear a few things up with her like how this wasn't something I wanted or chosen and that I tried to like girls... stuff like that. She told me it wasn't easy for her to realize that I'm this way. It hasn't really affected either of us when living life as usual, though. We still act the same around each other. I thought she'd be rather quiet around me while she thought I'd suddenly be... open/out there to her. Not. She still bugs me and I'm still just as uncomfortable. Now, though, my dad and the rest of the family.... Yeah...

An SUV? How dare you...

If it's deserved, yes.

Well... Did you specify? Didn't think so. The only car mentioned in your post was the CTS.The weather stripping on my POS 95 Grand Am is fine. It's not gray nor white and it keeps water out. Did I mention that this car is a POS? As in its crappy and extremely cheap? Again, a laughable excuse to complain...

Well ofcourse... But excessive is a large word to type more than once... especially at 3 am.

FYI, the CTS has a 5spd auto and the engine is only a few years old. Get your facts straight.BTW, weather stripping? That has got to be a new low. As long as it keeps water out (hence 'weather'), there's no problem. That is just an excuse to complain... and a mightly laughable one at that.

Well... IMO, see the Grand Prix for why large overhangs are bad. I don't like them on any vehicle. FWD, RWD... There's no excuse for overhang. It looks excessive and ungainly on most vehicles. The PA, I can't forgive though, as the overhangs do blend into the overall aura of the design. Others, like the GP... Ugh. The overhangs completely ruin the car.
