maybe they can supply Saturn dealers.

Woah wait! I missed the part about the Caprice being a 2-door. Definitely get that even if you don't get the ToadSmasher for it's LT-1

I thought Toyota already said they wouldn't be going with Li

1. Show me a concept car that makes it into production in the original concept form. 2. The price range was always 30k - 40k, yes that's a wide margin, but they said it would be with in that. 3. People are getting 100mpg by hypermilling Pruises, I don't doubt the Volt can do that too. 4. This was always going to be a slow ramp up vehicle with limited availability in the first few years. 5. As always, your mileage may vary.

The Insight (if you mean the first Gen) never moves on electricity alone and uses "traditional" batteries. The Volt runs up to 40 miles on electricity alone and uses lithium ion batteries. AFAIK, no other major manufacturer is using Lith-Ions. The Tesla is just a bunch of Toshiba laptop batteries strung together.

uhm... how?

Chevy Volt coasts closer to reality, first bona fide model now in production via Engadget General Motors has just cut the ribbon, metaphorically at least, on the production of the first genuine Chevy Volt integration vehicle. Unlike previous versions, which have been "developments mules" made using parts from the Malibu / Cruze lines, this will look (and hopefully feel) 100 percent like what the company plans to start pimping out this November. The pre-production model will be put through the paces in case the design needs to be refined and tweaked before going full steam ahead. GM is sticking pretty close to its original plan of building at a rate of ten a week by mid-July, with "several hundred more" going into production early next year, and with any luck, it'll be packing some standardized EV plug by then.

option 1 and 3 ? Depending on how bad the Toadsmasher is, drop the LT-1 into the '86.

I much rather it be Ford than Toyota.

I wouldn't tax all of the religious establishments. Just the ones that form PACs and do other political work with money collected from religious donations.

It was deleted twice in fact.... and will be a third time. We have a politics section, but even this wouldn't survive there because it's shoddy, incomplete, and makes hasty conclusions. Stop reposting it in here.

I agree with the SCOCA's ruling while I disagree with the result. Additionally, taking it to the SCOTUS right now is a terrible idea. That said, I am very reluctantly not moving this to the politics forum because the discussion has been civil. Please don't make me regret it.

I may come up for this.

Can the IMA even turn those wheels?

Why? I'm still seeing big rebates and low interest financing available on them here.

They should be able to pull back the boots on the CV joint and check for damage.

This doesn't sound like Honda.... at least the "not responding" part.

-Consumerist While it's OK for messages from top-secret government agencies to self destruct, that's not the case for car brakes. But more than 200 owners of 2008 and 2009 Accords have complained that keeping their brakes in working condition has proven to be a mission impossible. Paul's 2009 Accord is suffering from bakes breakage: I recently (March 7) bought a new 2009 Honda Accord, and after 2 days it has brake issues. I have taken it in to Honda 5 times to still have no resolution. They "deglazed" the rotors first, a few hours after I got it back, same thing. Now they claim Honda knows about the issue and is investigating the issue. I've got a brand new $30K car with malfunctioning brakes, and Honda knows about it and won't fix the problem. I need help. Paul should start here and keep pressing. Honda has been known to respond to pressure after putting off dealing with important issues for as long as possible.

If you use Oldsmobile Auroras you can....

You haven't actually been to a Toyota dealer have you?

Does the wobble in the steering wheel match the beat of the sound being made? This was the case in the CRV and it turned out to be the CV joint. I believe the pulling to the left is just an alignment issue.

I'm getting closer and closer to quitting my I.T. position. Once I leave there, I'll never work for someone else again.

Probably the Accord and G-series coups because I think they are attractive but I'll never buy foreign.
