  1. Overall, they liked it, but the tone of the review was way too negative. They really had very little to complain about and even liked the 4-speed, but of course they make the review less pleasing to read by adding in a bunch of needless crap (and sometimes false, needless crap). Here's how the review starts for example: "First, the bad news: GM is releasing its newest pickup truck, the Silverado, into one of the most hotly contested segments around -- at a time when full-size-vehicle-bashing is fast becoming a new sport. Additionally, Toyota (whose market share continues to grow) is on the verge of releasing its first crack at this lucrative full-size pickup-truck market. And if that weren't enough, Honda and Nissan have offered their own interpretation of the full-size pickup truck for American buyers and both have hit the market with a thud." Now, here are some blatantly wrong things: Toyota is on its THIRD try, not first. So they get free passes until they actually make something halfway competitive? The Titan and Ridgeline have been anything but thuds, more like duds, especially the Titan. The Ridgeline is NOT an "interpretation" of the full-size pickup. First, they say that no Tundra has been full-size, but now they say that the Ridgeline is? Something isn't right... Didn't MT even review the Ridgeline against MIDSIZE trucks, or was that C&D? How is the Titan a different interpretation of a truck? It offers nothing the competition doesn't.
  2. No, it's not that. It's how the bumper in front of the passenger side headlight has a little "bubble" or buldge that sticks up right in front of the headlight. The driver's side looks fine...
  3. Congrats NOS! What was the MSRP (just want to know how much the Red Tag took off)? BTW, what's up with the area in front of the headlight on the passenger side? It looks like the bumper doesn't fit correctly or something? Wanna race? GMCTGuy: the G85 package includes Recaro seats and LSD.

  5. For the past couple years I haven't really known what I wanted, and this year again I don't have any idea. I guess I don't really think I have a need for anything... So what is everyone else asking for this holiday?
  6. I'm sure the Malibu will have tan/black two-tone as well. I really doubt they would offer just the color we've seen in two-tone. See the Lambdas and they're different two-tone schemes for examples.
  7. I'd say the four front runners are the Malibu, Accord, Corolla, and CTS. I guess the G8 could even be thrown in.
  8. The Commodore seats 5, has 4 doors, and has a trunk capable of hauling a decent amount of luggage. The GTO lacks all of these things.
  9. I'll just go with what I've actually driven... LS1 Northstar a close second
  10. Sweet! Hopefully they protected it well enough that it's still in great condition. On a somewhat related note, whatever happened to those semi trailers full of Chevy cars and parts? I haven't heard anything about that in a long time.
  11. Wasn't the Sixteen the last show car? I don't think it was ghetto... unless I'm forgetting something after it.
  12. The Trailhawk is cool. The Nassau doesn't do a whole lot for me, though.
  13. There's no way the I6 will fit in the H4 if it doesn't fit in the H3.
  14. They may not look identical, but the overall impression I get is that the Altima is an improved G6.
  15. I don't think we should care what 40 year old Pontiac and Chevy interiors look like. 99% of people could care less. As long as it looks good, as good materials, and is well-built, I could care less if it looks like a 1970 Pontiac and it's in a Chevy or vice-versa. As for the Malibu, well, I'm undecided. I need to see more pics from different angles and actually sit in it, because right now that center stack is bugging me. It's really square and and bulky, and everything else is flowing and curvy. What is so great about the Altima? It looks like they took a G6 and said "here's what they did wrong, now let's make some improvements" and didn't even do a great job at it.
  16. It wouldn't have pop-up NAV. Since it has the black-tie they would just but the black-tie NAV in place of the radio if it gets NAV.
  17. Look at that little wagon fly around the 'ring! http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Gener...ticleId=117624#
  18. Looks pretty good. I don't know that the center stack looks that great but the rest looks very nice.
  19. $18k for that?! It's not even in mint condition.
  20. I don't know if I really like the Z71 look. It looks tougher but tougher doesn't necessarily mean better. The interior is definitely nice with the two-tone though.
  21. I'm at 10xxx on the GTO... it hardly ever gets driven, anyone want to rent it while I'm at school so it doesn't sit all day? I think the Maxx and TB are both over 20k but I really don't pay any attention, the Alero is somewhere in the 50k's I think, and the LSS is around 90k.
  22. LOL @ forum glitches
  23. The front is okay, but the rest is... meh. And what's with that interior getting good reviews? It looks like a G6 with more vents and is really boring.
  24. This should be a 2008 NAIAS debut. Why are they showing stuff so early? They have plenty of stuff that's right around the corner to show... this is 3 years off.
  25. If the EPII G6 got canceled and moved to a RWD platform.
