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... -
Looks good..strong family resembalance to the IS. Doesn't seem to have the usual awkward FWD front proportions either...
-
Looks like all-new metal. Dodge should do an SRT5 version of theirs..
-
Build it, and customers will buy.
-
Yes..the appeal is all about the total package...handling, steering feel, braking.. at least that's the appeal of my old E36 M3 to me.. acceleration is ok, but I'm not into drag racing. Anyhoo, the new ES looks like it will be a nice entry-lux daily driver type of car.. not exactly my cup of tea, but quite good at what it does...if I were going for a FWD daily driver, though, my preference would be a TL with the 6-speed manual (sportier but still well-equipped).
-
Yes, KFC got rid of the 'Kentucky Fried Chicken' name years ago....because they do more than fried chicken. I work in a world full of TLAs (three-letter-acronyms) so I use them everyday (JMS, JSP, RMI, SLA, SOA, EJB, EBF, JGC, EDI, and many four- and five-letter ones..)
-
'My bad'. I don't know it's origin..but it's annoying.
-
To use another analogy, GM is kind of like the underachieving student content to limp along with Bs and Cs---being average when they are capable of better, and complaining about the other kids who are consistently getting As. GM has built waaaay too many C (and even D) grade cars..they are certainly capable of building A grade cars, but seem not to want to go the extra mile often enough to build them...
