    The Sonic is considered midsize?! It has that much space?

    Don't forget the Gameboy Advance startup chime...

    I'm kinda shocked a high-end BMW would be rated with poor performance/handling.

    Drew, exact feelings I have. I still can't get on board with the spindle grille of all Lexi. Hate their current interiors too. I don't think they're bad, I just hate the look.

    You have no idea, Drew... no idea.

    It was VERY difficult to choose just one problem. A messy car. I'm a neat freak, but some people's utter disregard for basic vehicle maintenance drives me wild... you spill coffee in your car on a light tan upholstery in your Prius, then CLEAN IT. It's been 7 years... still there. Not knowing how to use the car's features. My dad (and I'm going to have to take a Xanax after typing this), ALWAYS puts the temperature up to high when getting in the car and notches the fan to max. In the summer, it's the opposite. I have tried to give the lesson of: "Well, when you walk into your house and you're cold, you don't turn the thermostat up to 90 until the house is warm and then turn it down, right?" It falls on deaf ears. I finally caved and explained that they can "sync" their temperature up by hitting a certain button, instead of having my dad continually press the driver's side temp to 90 or Low, and then repeating for the passenger temperature, but alas, that fell on deaf ears too. Every feature that is automatic in their car they've had me try to disable. Their mirrors don't tilt in reverse. Their reverse backup sensors are off. When they had the Lucerne, they never trusted rainsense and constantly were the car with the "Hyper Wiper" as I call it (when your wipers are on "high" and you have an occasional drizzle out.) Regular maintenance. Who needs oil changes? "I can get a little more life out of my squeaky/screechy brakes..." Yeah, I've had this conversation before. Best. Car. Evar. 2003 Camry. Friend gets into my LaCrosse and falls in love. What does she buy herself? A 2014 Camry. 6 months later... "It just doesn't excite me like my old car used to. It's boring. I almost wish I bought your car." I can't complain about how people drive because if I don't like their driving... I simply offer to drive. I don't trust many drivers anyway.

    Wish I could afford it... I love this car. Looks like fun but doesn't sacrifice comfort.

    The name is ridiculous. It has no relation to current models. Their current naming scheme is fine since they went to alphanumeric. I got their intentions with sizes... and what are they going to do with an AWD CT6... CT6-4? I don't understand how these things get approved.

    Yes, my issue is with Hypocrisy. These guys have recalled as much as GM has, yet there is no one crying river on it. Honda recalling airbags after 14 years? I want to see Blumenthal calling for a Congressional hearing for that and those victims' families standing holding signs saying "Honda is Bad." The bigger question... how long did Honda know about it? Honda knows about an A/C issue in all 2002 - 2007 CR-Vs, Civics, Accords, and Odyssey where the compressors grenade and the entire A/C system has to be replaced. Not being recalled... if you're out of warranty (as you most certainly are by 2014) you are SOL. My friend is STILL waiting for her 2002 Accord airbag situation to be announced by Honda. She read it in the paper, and dealers still say, after years, they received nothing about the recall.

    I really liked the Verano when I test drove it last year. The only problem was, being so tall, NO ONE could sit behind me. There physically wasn't enough room to get your feet out from under the front seat when I was driving. I thought the interior was awesome, but could use a tweak or two with the center stack. I'm sure that will be hammered out in the refresh since so many complained of the plethora of buttons in the LaX and Regal.

    Interesting...

    I'm not digging the nose... I feel if it was pushed back a few inches, it'd be much better. I see where they're going, but I'm not a huge fan. I need to see more pictures of it before I'll make my final judgement. The rest of is isn't bad.. reminds me of the Focus.

    Is anyone even caring about the return of Maybach? I forgot it was "gone".
  14. Paolino
    I like it. I think it's going to sell like crazy. Question is, will it become a girl's car or will guys buy it too?
  15. Paolino
    I don't know why, but I repeatedly read the description and titles and just couldn't understand the reason of the post. After literally 2-3 minutes, I finally looked at the picture and said, "Ah."
  16. Paolino
    Thank you!!

    I got my LaCrosse on April 30th. All summer long, it's been bombarded with a broken underground sprinkler that for some reason, my landlord couldn't seem to get fixed properly each time. I'm not one of those people that runs out to dry his car with a towel every second it gets wet... I won't go crazy for a little dirt, but I do like it to look nice and shine every now and then. That said, I didn't realize the water was hard water. The car has been through a total of 4 car washes, many downpours, a multitude of winter storms, and I STILL have hard water stains on the windows, mirrors, chrome and body. My car hasn't shined since the day I got it. How can I get rid of these deposits without damaging the paint or chrome?

    Thanks guys. It was a really nice day... not so nice for my parents and their Lucerne, but still nice for me.

    I can't lie, I love it. I'd consider one.

    I feel like changing the name would go like this: Agent: "We have a Chevrolet SCV for you." Customer: "What's that?" Agent: "You know the Impala? They changed the name. Same car."

    See, what bothers me is why didn't they think about this from the start? When they first talked about the Encore and mentioned the 1.4L Turbo, my brain instantly said, "And?" I feel in most cases a more powerful powertrain should always be an option. There's always a group of people out there who do want a bit more punch. Think about it--you're marketing a small CUV... something you can load up with cargo... that adds on weight... throw in more passengers and you have something that'll probably be a bit sluggish.

    As an owner of a 2013 LaCrosse... amen. I have to be very careful getting in and out of the LaCrosse...
  23. Paolino
    I assume a 6-speed with this?
  24. Paolino
    Not digging the rear 3/4, but otherwise I think it's gorgeous all over.
  25. Paolino
    Love it. As others have said, would love to see something different, like a pushbutton shift.
