Most people, including myself, saw McCain as just a continuation of Bush's policies especially regarding Iraq. "We'll stay for 100 years if we have to!", McCain exclaimed. The tax cuts for the rich really sold me as being anti-McCain. I did not just vote anti-McCain though. I like the President's proposals. I want him to succeed with them.

Do you think he is going to throw out all of his proposals and just do something completely different? Is he just going to go out back and shoot hoops for 4 years? The President, prior to his election, has shown what he wants to do. We elected him based on that.

Are you serious? The Whitehouse website has already been updated with his agenda and gives a lot of details. It is well thought out, comprehensive, and inclusive. We can see the direction he wants to take us in. Even if he can only accomplish part of this list it is still a major step forward for this country. Just looking at how efficiently he has put together the new cabinet and executed the transition. The unknown black man with the funny name out maneuvered the biggest names in today's political game. He raised more money and had more people involved than any candidate ever. I'm not worried about his ability to get things done.

No, I wouldn't have been that upset because I would just be happy that Bush was gone. I would have been hopeful that McCain would return to being the man he was in 2000 and the campaign he ran was just pandering to get elected.

Was that really necessary?

uhm... run this by me again? If Saab is unable to stand with GM... why would it be able to stand without GM? It's like...you fail at riding a bike with training wheels, so your Dad takes the training wheels off.....

it's all ass cracks?

I wish they had followed through on that Imperial and priced it up where it should have been priced.

DeutcheBank thinks bankruptcy is still on the table.

I'm not even concerned about CAFE. How many Zeta Park Aves would they sell at 45k anyway? Park Ave sales have been down in China. Take that capacity to the US. Even if GM only sold 1,000 of them a month, that's 12,000 more sales per year with no additional development costs!

Can someone tell me why the Zeta can't be sold in the U.S. and what further costs besides shipping it would bring? The thing is developed... it's on the road in other countries... why can't it be sold here? They have a fully developed, RWD Park Ave that uses off the shelf N.A. drivetrain. Why can't it be sold here? They have a fully developed, G8 ST. Why can't it be sold here? They have a fully developed RWD Chevy Caprice. Why can't it be sold here? They have a line to build Zetas in Canada. Tool up the suppliers and crank 'em out!

Not cheap.... because they'd go out and spend the same or more for a V6 Accord. Because it's a Pontiac, they want the rebates.

A big problem though is GM's lack of control over it's dealers. The dealer markup on this car is bad. If GM could just set the price appropriately and keep the dealers from the ADM, there wouldn't be this rebate issue.

and the GXP has more HP and torque too....

You can't prove a negative, thus your logic is flawed. Prove that Saddam didn't have WMDs at the time of the invasion. You can't do it. You could only prove that he did.

It's a Duramax, it could probably run biodiesel.

I bet this is a production preview of the next Chrysler midsizer the way the Provoq concept was a production preview of the SRX.

Why am I pissed at Ebay?

Yes... because people who buy a FWD hybrid are looking to take it on the Nurburgring.....

Is this the first Gamma?

Does a 335d have a smaller carbon footprint than a Hummer when you include production? 'Cause a Pruis doesn't.

The 116d emits less visual pollution
