True...I wonder if there would be applications in ultra-small models.. though the Smart has a rear mounted inline 3, I think?
-
I'm surprised we haven't seen V4s in recent years for packaging reasons (I would think a V4 would take up less space than inline 4).... for A- and B- class subcompacts..

I'm sure that other than the going from B&W to color, that mentality still exists in the Bible Belt today w/ the social conservatives..

Eight-Brand Pileup Dents GM's Turnaround Efforts - WSJ
Robert Hall replied to buyacargetacheck's topic in General Motors
Also, GMC is becoming more differentiated from Chevy, with the Acadia and upcoming Torrent replacement. And there is the dealer structure also... I can't see BPG dealers letting GMC go...but poor Pontiac? -

BMW's drive a specific way that mass market models don't...they handle better, accelerate better, stop better,..the whole package is all about the pure joy of driving.. It's something that has to be experienced, can't easily be explained with statistics.... -

Reg is full of it...may as well ignore his blatherings.. -

You know what I mean...BMW's are serious driver's cars..not point A to point B appliances... -

Well, BMW is RWD and driver focused...that alone gives it premium status. GM has too many overlapping FWD models. -

The article and thread were about the US market...so what if BMW sells cars outside the US w/o A/C? Irrelevant.. -

That has to be a PFA...in the US I would expect BMWs to be 100% with A/C.... I'm amazed there are still any cars sold in the US w/o A/C... -
Yeah, it would seem very strange to see the Saleen or Roush brand on a Chevy, since they are historically Ford tuners... it would be neat to see a revival of the vintage Chevy tuner names like Yenko or Baldwin-Motion..

Or the bronze '71 that a neighbor had when I was a kid in Ohio...I love the sculptured bodywork of that style.
-
Nothing wrong with looking at things like that..with work, I set my expectations extremely low, so if something meaningful really happens, them I'm pleasantly surprised..
-
This was an inevitable choice...if they had not picked Toyota, imagine the uproar amongst their readers..
-
I try and convince my peers (30 something professionals) that GM makes lust worthy cars, but when a buddy asked if the CTS comes with an AARP card, I felt like giving up.. Pretty much everyone I know in my demographic group drives Japanese or German, with a few American SUV owners (mostly Jeep) mixed in.... The youngin's I know (<30) drive Eclipses, Golfs/Jettas, Civics, and Corollas...

Saw the battered '64 Buick Special 2dr sedan again this morning... gold w/ white roof, dents, rust, classic car plate. Someone commutes to my office in it, I see it a couple times a week.

I wonder if these are legit 'scientists' or just some right-wing nutjobs..

Some late '08 changes for Malibu...4-cyl LTZ package, some wheels
Robert Hall replied to caddycruiser's topic in Chevrolet
The Malibu and Accord are good mass market appliances, but I wouldn't compare to premium cars from Audi or BMW... -
Sad end to a once proud name....alas, it's been over 20 years since they were really nice.

7 foot, 350 lbs? You a linebacker?

Sounds promising.

Borger/PCS is a troublemaker...best to just ignore his taunts. He said he was going away because his employer (which he claims is GM) wanted him to, then he pops up again a few days later. Who knows what his agenda is, but he seems to enjoy stirring up trouble here...
-
I assume because the SRX is going bye-bye when the BRX comes out?

The Pretender--Foo Fighters (saw them in concert last night in Phoenix, they rock!)
