  1. What that means is that those 450,000 Camries they've been pumping out every year have just lost a lot of value.
  2. unibrow?
  3. fixed that up there for ya. The day GM starts putting VW quality interiors into GMs is the day I stop buying GM. I've lived through that nightmare once already. Oh sure, the airbag cover is soft enough to wipe your hemorrhoids on, but that doesn't mean it'll stay attached to the car. *All actual issues on my ex's Passat between 62k miles and ~85k miles.
  4. PCS, can you add any insight as to why the US didn't get the SLS interior updates and a stretch?
  5. Facebook, Skype, Youtube Video downloader
  6. None of those is nicer than the Camaro. Not being a big fan of this class of car, I don't have a dog in this fight. They all look about equal to me. The VW I posted is the Scirocco, not the CC. The CC, basing at 27k, isn't Camaro competition.
  7. Nice 640x480 desktop resolution there....
  8. Uhm, why would be?
  9. How many 6-cylinder cars that get 29mpg also have 300hp?
  10. as long as they get the product mix right.
  11. Is it becoming a major PC hog for anyone else? After the last few updates it has become agonizingly slow. I find myself using Chrome a lot more often now. Ironically, one important site for me, Google Pages, doesn't render properly in Chrome, so I have to use Firefox for that.
  12. If a man has sex with a doll in an ally, can anyone hear her cry "Rape!"?
  13. I like this idea best.... and I suspect the CTS wagon is the exact reason the SRX changed platforms. The Chinese SLS stretch is 4 inches of wheelbase... which brings it to 120 inches.... smack on a 750i wheelbase. And damn, doesn't this side profile look good.
  14. We won't recover from this unless we institute protectionist measures.... which we'll never do.... which means we'll never recover. I dare anyone to come at me with "globalism creates jobs and generates more wealth" bull$h!.
  15. For the Catera Yaris Now I have to admit, these Dodge Charger ones look pretty cool.
  16. Angel eyes are going to get as played out.
  17. May I repost this elsewhere?
  18. A mildly modernized version of the Beetle would kill the Tata Nano in India. Especially if it was built there.
  19. The only reason we don't hear more about VWs quality issues is because they are a relatively small fry compared to the other brands in the U.S.
  20. Why not try to beat the one that sells more? If beating the RX is easy, then shouldn't beating the Camry be easy also?
  21. Which one will generate more sales? Which one will be more revenue and profit for GM? Edit: Why is this a challenge to understand?
  22. The RX sold 103k copies in 2007, 108k in 2006, 108k in 2005. You don't reach much higher than that in terms of potential money made. Buick is doing ok with the Enclave. Due to the size difference I don't think you'll see too much overlap.
  23. There is very little truth in his posts....evar. The new SRX, if executed like the CTS has been, will do very well in the marketplace. Just because us enthusiasts don't care for it doesn't mean it won't sell. If enthusiast's desires were what drives sales of cars, the G8 and Charger would be the top of the sales charts, not the CamCordTima. The SRX will be great for GM because GM can see that the biggest sales, and thus biggest opportunity to steal sales, are with the FWD RX and MDX. The CTS-V V8 will lay the smack down on any German V8 even twice the price. SMK CLEARLY knows nothing about engine displacement v. valve rain configuration v. package size. SMK looses credibility just for bringing up HP/L. Audis being not as good as BMW has nothing to do with drive train layout. BMW makes AWD versions of their cars too and they still beat out Audi. And SMK, engines on the A4 - A8 are not transverse. I don't know about the A3. As for an Insignia Cadillac. I think it's just a red herring.
  24. Then what are you doing here?
