The hybrid seems like a reasonable approach for now as it can be built with existing technology and doesn't require changes in usage patterns or infrastructure. There is a gas mileage increase, but more importantly (the point which everyone seems to miss) is that they are cleaner..
-
Yes...I used to live near Walnut Creek, Ohio, and when people would pronounce it Walnut Crick, I assumed they were hicks or West Virginia transplants (which there were a lot of in Eastern Ohio). Now Walnut Creek, Ca is a very nice place...my company's CEO lives there.

The also have a '67 Camaro convertible and '70 Chevelle SS convertible in the Classics line, new for '06...I found a couple recently, pretty nice--redline tires and spectraflame paint.
-
What? Speak up...I can't hear you... I limit the use of mine to 2-3 hrs a day usually... at work.
-
Actually, the internet was around 25 years ago..actually, 35 years ago. It was only used by government agencies, defence contractors, and universities. No WWW then...just ftp, telnet, etc.
-
Yesterday I saw two '90s Roadmasters--a dark red wagon with wood trim, and a base gold 4dr (no vinyl top, plain full wheelcovers). Don't see those very often. Last night, I saw a car that would excite 68P---a late '70s Toyota Cressida station wagon..in good shape.

2008 Buick lineup: La Crosse, Lucerne, Enclave, Terraza. (Enclave is replacing both the Rainier and Rendezvous?). Something with 2 doors would be nice.... i.e. Riviera.
-
Riiight...fuel cells are still a pipe dream...at least 25 years or more away from being practical, both as far as the cars and the infrastructure.
-
Could be..the mid '90s ('92-96?) 4dr Camry looked quite a bit like the original Taurus, IMHO..
-
For me it's usually #2. For the most part, the Democratic party fits my views pretty well. There used to be aspects of the Republican party that I liked (financial responsibility, etc) but there is no way I could support that party now as it has been hijacked by the right-wing neocons and evangelicals, two groups I want nothing to do with.
-
Interesting..I generally only make right turns unless I have a left turn lane with an arrow. I have a phobia about turning left in traffic without an arrow (a couple of bad experiences years ago caused that....(partially related to my phobia about carburators).
-
Yeah, the extremists get all the press... I'm not down with any religion, so it's all alien to me.
-
Is it just me, or the Muslim world in general obsessed with violence and mayhem (esp. towards Western cultures)? So much for Islam being a religion of 'peace'. I've never understood the violence and insanity that seems to surround religion in general...
-
I call such a hat a 'toque'. I wear one in the winter, since I shave my head and it gets cold...
-
I heard 'warsh' a lot in Eastern Ohio....I think it's a general Appalachia thing... same with 'crick' for 'creek' and 'holler' for 'hollow'....
-
I drove over a raised 4-inch median at 30 or so in my GC. Had to have a front end alignment.
-
The topic title is a bit misleading..the Camry has been built in the US for years...Georgetown, Ky...they are just considering an additional plant.
-
Yeah....though annexing Mexico is probably more likely...infinite supply of cheap labor.
-
Maybe they can do a luxury version of the passenger version..brand it as a Chrysler Town and Country.
-
No, no, no...what America needs is The Homer. The car for the forgotten man.
-
My guess is the Solstice will be renamed the G5.. Of course, there is already a G5 on the market...a pretty sweet one at that.. /G5
-
I've read about that...somewhere in Alberta, I think..very costly to extract it, though...
-
Maybe GM will offer the new Camaro with a torquey turbodiesel and sell it in Europe..that would be cool.
-
I found out today that AMT announced at the annual Toy Fair show that they will be doing a 1:25th scale plastic model of the Camaro concept, due out in September.. that's the fastest I think I remember ever hearing about a kit announcement relative to the public debut of a production car or concept car...

Lexus Reveals 2007 LS 460
Robert Hall replied to CSpec's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)
I liked it quite a bit also...subtle, clean styling (great front end treatment, IMHO), beautiful interior... but then I look at the A8 which looks even better to me inside and out...
