Killing brands = market share gone. It's that simple. If Ford kills Mercury, Mercury buyers aren't going to buy Fords or Lincolns. They bought a Mercury because they didn't like what the Ford looked like or offered and they didn't buy the Lincoln because they probably couldn't afford it. If Toyota killed Scion, do you think Corolla/Matrix sales would shoot up? Unlikely If BMW killed Mini. The 1 series wouldn't even feel the tickle of increased sales. Face it, even as we like to mock some of the current Pontiac products. They still sell. There is some reason that someone picks a G6 over a Malibu or a Torrent over an Equinox or a Vibe over an Aveo or Matrix. The Torrent can move easily to GMC, but where are you going to put the G6? The Vibe? The G8? Saturn's base fans are a rather weird set. Kill Saturn completely and most will likely end up at Scion or Honda.

you forgot the 32.4 surround sound

Reg, SMK would never buy a Sixteen because it's not DOHC.

Again. You are incorrect and we've gone over this before with you. The A8 is available in 2.8 liter FWD, 3.2 liter FWD, and 3.2 DI FWD. in Germany. If you continue to post unfactual stuff that I know, for certain, you know isn't true, you're going back on ban. This time will be permanent. The A8 is the most attractive of the Germans. I personally like the XJ the most out of this group.

Did you pack the sawzaw for the b-pillar?

But the CTS-V doesn't have a 2/3rds of the price interior... which is what they are implying the Hyundai has.

I believe this is the preferred european method.

Price it out on Carsdirect.com you'll see what he's talking about. In December you could get them about 3k cheaper than what CarsDirect is quoting now.

Would that phrase EVER be used if the Hyundai was from an American brand? No, you'd hear "It just can't live up to the foreign competition", "Close, but not quite for (insert domestic auto marque here)", "It was ok, but just doesn't have that teutonic* feel." *teutonic is one of the most absurd words I find used regularly in automotive reviews. Teutonic means Germanic. Why am I reading that the CTS/G8/MKS "just don't have that teutonic feel"........ IT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE AMERICAN CARS ASSWIPE!

you forgot to list the RWD A8 that you were telling us about a month ago.....

SMK FTL

It still has FWD proportions.....

X-type?

This could be my return to the US car.

SMK? Is that you?

I have to ask.... that is the interior that SMK keeps going on about? srsly?

The XJ isn't $h!. It's just not S-class huge and gets downmarked for it.

I got your DT7 right here. Anyone wanna throw some Art & Science on this?

Since that's the case, just leave the DTS on the G-body and update the power train. No, it's not a 7 series, but at least it's not a Towncar.

I have one really huge angel fish that I've raised from a baby.

Considering that most of south florida is supposed to be glades right now...... My parents live there. Their boat repair business would be booming.

During the last ice age, but not seeing your point. My point is that he can't call on something that can be empirically proven.

Care to back that up? How can "A glacier use to be here and now it's not" have a 250% margin of error? You are turning into the SMK of the environmental discussions.
