McMansion

I like it on the dash..the old-school approach that some makers never quit doing and some have come back to. I also like the left side on the dash position, like Porsches and early GTOs..(even though I'm not left-handed).

Or they could make some different looking plastic panels...

Um-kay...sounds like a very strange place you work. At my place, we basically BS about video games, computer chips, big screen tv technology (the endless DLP vs Plasma vs LCOS vs LCD vs LED etc), building your own PVRs, the latest Macs, beer technology, etc...

Maybe instead of a badge-engineered Cobalt it could be a badge-engineered Ion? That would at least give it some more distinction...

Happens to me pretty often...I set the alarm for my usual 5:30, and I'm awake at 5:25-5:29....then I hear the clock click softly right before the alarm sounds and shut it off.. If I forget to set the alarm, I'm still awake at 5:30... though I try and sleep in late on the weekends (7).

I remember a lot of it from childhood hearing it on the radio in the late '70s...my older siblings weren't into it much, though--they were much more into rock (Pink Floyd, The Stones, Led Zeppelin, Alice Cooper, etc). I'm not a disco fan, but I do like dance and trance music...there is a lot of electronica and DJ music I like...(great to listen to when coding in the cube).

Lately, my usual U2, but focused on their '90s work (Acthung Baby (my favorite album), Zooropa, Passengers Orig. Soundtracks Vol. 1, and Pop)... also some Rolling Stones (Stripped, 40 Licks, vintage albums like Let it Bleed), The Who, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Dave Matthews Band, Foo Fighters, Sonja Dada, Sigur Ros, Paul Oakenfold. Some newer bands I've been listening to lately include The Arcade Fire, The Killers, and British Sea Power..

Right... but having the top of one model range overlap the bottom of the next model range up has long been a standard industry practice...

I'm not a fan of badge engineering, but it works in Canada and Mexico, so why not here, is probably what they are thinking.

I would think the Tundra would get some Tacoma sales also..toyota small trucks have had a loyal following for a long time..I could see some Tacoma owners and intenders stepping up to the Tundra..

Grand Prix?

Yeah, driving over curbs at 40mph and off loading docks is hard on the front suspension and drivetrain..

It definitely looks like a really big truck.. I wonder if GM is going to respond to the Ram Mega Cab with a Mega Crew Cab..take the Crew Cab, stretch it and add the extended cab's rear-opening doors with a 3rd row of seats..

I once had an experience where the waiter quit her job while I was at one of her tables...ended up getting 50% off the meal (she dissapeared during dinner and I had to go find the manager to get water refills, etc). Another time after a 2hr wait at lunch (without the food ever coming out), we got up and left...

I wouldn't say there are any companies or brands I don't like per se, just ones that don't really interest me.. Toyota--nothing current interests me, but I do like the last Supra Turbos. Lexus- GS430, though the IS350 is pretty nice also. Volkswagen- new GTI, new Passat, Phaeton Lincoln- current Navigator Mercury- Milan Pontiac- GTO Saturn- Sky Buick- Lucerne Nissan- 350Z Subaru- Legacy Spec-B I couldn't come up with anything from Hyundai, Suzuki, or Kia that I would be interested in.

lemons

I've driven a car ('67 Cougar) with a 3-spd manual floor shift (no console), manual steering (giant '60s steering wheel), manual drum brakes, bucket seats w/o headrests, lap belts only, no A/C, and an AM radio, 1 outside mirror.. It was a very strange but fun experience--so far removed from my everyday reality.
