Couldn't you upgrade to a Taurus or something?

New SRX for her?

So the CTS is as good as the S-Class yet half the cost. Because of superfluous details like... X CTS-V has a V-8 for less money than a 550i and will run circles around it. Doesn't make or break a luxury car. The CTS RWD is within 170lbs of the 535i. The CTS AWD is 50lbs lighter then a 535ix. No V6 will ever match the inherent smoothness of an I6, but the CTS is right there with MB's and Audi's V6es. Except that up until this financial meltdown where no one can get financing, Malibu retail sales have been way up. People are getting the message. Certainly helps BMW when you're out there brow beating people into thinking the CTS is the next Cimarron. That would require using acurate facts. You don't. Therefore you are not objective. Right, like there hasn't been a financial meltdown and GMAC can't finance people anymore. Nobody is buying anything. Every manufacturer was down in January. Keep posting like this and I'll keep my promise to you.

But in the end, you're still driving a Hyundai

Then why do you bash the CTS and Malibu? You've done it. I've seen it. Knock it off, you aren't helping the situation. GM cannot return to greatness all at once. NO COMPANY CAN. It takes rolling out product over time. Here GM released the CTS but because they are still selling the DTS, you are bashing them. People read these forums. We are frequently in the top of google searches for GM products. People who don't know that you're a rampant GM basher with an agenda don't know that "Today's CTS Bashing by SMK" isn't the truth.... which in your case it rarely is. What other cars in the CTS's price class (srsly? CTS v. S-class? WTF?) have 3mm panel gaps?

WTF is taking so long?

The Accord does nothing in particular to deserve that honour besides start up every morning and wear an H badge. GM need to get people to believe their cars will last.... so when do you stop bashing them?

Of the 4 Honda's I've driven recently <CRV, Oddyssy, Accord, Civic Hybrid> only the Civic felt relatively solid. The CRV slams over every road imperfection and feels flimsy. Very bad surfaces cause knocking in the front end. The Oddyssy rattled like a mo'fo' and I was shocked that this was considered best in segment. And the Accord felt like a very big economy car, meaning it felt relatively light and nimble but not especially solid when the road got rough. I think the previous generation was better. Sure the engines fired up every time, but is that really a challenge these days? Other than the Civic, which I thought deserved it's reputation, I didn't feel that these Honda's deserved the title of best of the best. I live in an area where you know when you crossed the state line because your teeth stop chattering from the rough pavement.

Hyundai has a better warranty and Hyundai doesn't have people like you beating the "They're gonna die soon" drum.

This is just F.U.D. to get the CAW to cave.

What Dodgefan means to say is; There is a Politics section coming soon as part of a broader board wide announcement. More details will follow.

GM has made arrangements to regain control of GMAC

When I'm not at work, I can get the link for you. It's uninteresting.

Actually Comcast is giving everyone who complains about it $5. Comcast Public Relations FTL.

I wish there was a strong anti-HFCS movement going on.

.... and some of you guys wonder why GM dumbs down it's N.A. versions of Euro designs.....

Was that tax income based on imaginary income based on imaginary home values and financed through banks using imaginary capital?

Is that the difference? I always wondered why I liked RC but not Pepsi nor Coke.

They went to HFCS because the Corn Lobby > Sugar Lobby

Definately AWD. It's almost a requirement here. I did ok in the CTS with snow tires, but I'm trying to make the most minimal investment I can. I'll drive them all, I LOVE test driving cars. About the convenience stuff....this is just a get-me-to-Lowes-and-back vehicle. I only need to drive 2 or 3 days a week. I take public transit for the rest. One question, in the GMT-360s do the rear seats fold nearly flat or roll up or get removed?

LOL!

+1 You could have a lot of wood in your car and it wouldn't upset the greenies because it's highly renewable. Heck, I have bamboo infesting my back yard now.

You forgot lawnmowers, marine engines, motorcycles, atvs, etc.
