    Right..it probably wouldn't be cost-effective.. the exchange rate is part of why VW is having problems in the US, for example.

    GM is an international company with plants in many countries..they should be able to source their cars from any of their plants when it is cost-effective to sell in a particular market..the Aveo isn't made in the US, for example..

    Scary stuff... they should be euthanised, IMHO.

    It's almost $3 here in Denver..noticed $2.97 for premium (91) today.. I'm going out to LA tommorow for a long weekend..probably over $3 in some places there.

    Greensboro, NC, sites near Chattanooga, Tenn., Roanoke, Va., and northeast Arkansas being considered for new Toyota plant... San Antonio truck plant likely to expand. Toyota plant

    I like jazz...I went to a concert in Boulder last week and saw the Charlie Hunter Trio and Christian McBride w/ DJ Logic.. good stuff...a lot of guitar and piano work, with some sax. There was also Robert Previtt (sp?) who was doing some very abstract electronic drum work.. As far as 'smooth jazz', I like some of it--Boney James, David Sanborn, David Benoit.. I enjoy older jazz on occasion..I have some Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, Weather Report, John Coltrane in my CD rack...

    Interesting that it's engineering goal was to be "the best performing front-wheel-drive sedan in the world"...that used to be the Maxima's aspiration ('4dr Sports Car'). The Maxima seems to be settling into more of an Avalon role today.

    Maybe they are working out bugs..better to launch smoothly later than launch prematurely with a bunch of problems..

    That's what I've always assumed...Turbo V6...but research turned up the Syclone had a 4.3 while the Buick had a 3.8. There was a version of the Trans Am with the 3.8 V6 turbo, though...

    That's where Chevy comes in...the value proposition.

    Antenna, I think..for OnStar or XM, probably.. the louvered thingy with the 4 handles is some sort of dual mode kitchen tool, I think (draining plate?)

    Hmm... Solstice and Sky are on some other Greek letter platform, I think...can't recall which one right now.
  13. Robert Hall
    A more important question, though, is which one has a better nav screen (display, not the buttons and plastic trim) and how the nav works?
  14. Robert Hall
    Yeah, when I first saw the pics, I didn't think it had changed very much...pretty subtle evolution. I like it..

    It's simple...as an owner/driver of a car, the interior is where you spend all your time..I don't care how good looking the exterior is, if I'm not happy with the interior (looks, fit and finish, quality of materials, comfort, ergonomics, features), I'm not happy with the car...I'm sure a lot of buyers feel the same way...

    Speaking of Infiniti interiors, I sat in an M45 at a car show a couple weeks ago..loved the interior design, and the wood was great...low gloss, looked very realistic.

    I wonder if they will call it the Saturn Astra..the name fits in nicely with the Aura..

    I've read DH is a huge mega pop star in Germany.

    I wonder if they will decide to do something on the cheap and put out another Cobalt rebadge ala Pursuit/G4/G5...

    Seems absurd that ABS and side airbags are options when so many cars today have them as standard features...

    I've driven one of the first gen ones... I went out to lunch with a coworker of mine that has a new one, I was surprised how comfortable it was with 5 people in it...a lot more spacious than it may look on the outside... I was giving him a hard time about it, though, since he is a conservative, Christian Republican and the Prius has an image about 180 degrees from that...(my view of right wingers is that they tend to gravitate towards Dodge Rams, Ford F350 Crew Cabs, and other macho vehicles..)
  22. Robert Hall
    Ok..so Lambda is an all-new platform? Haven't read much about it..I assume it's FWD w/ AWD optional? Not a rehash of an older GM FWD platform?
  23. Robert Hall
    Also, remember hybrids are also considerably cleaner than regular cars..(aren't some of them classified as ULEVs?). People focus on the gas mileage but forget about the cleanliness aspect... How about all the filthy diesel buses and big trucks? They probably produce more way more particulate emissions than cars..
  24. Robert Hall
    So is the Enclave/Outlook/Acadia platform all-new? Or just a revised U-body, W-body or G-body or something?
  25. Robert Hall
    BS... there are a lot of other engines of the US economy than the auto industry..
