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

Mr. Lutz, would you like to see a picture of my next new car? Signed, Dedicated Cadillac Fan

1. RWD v. FWD make no difference in fuel economy 2. "Coming from you" doesn't soften the blow. It's you here saying "I told you so" and I wouldn't doubt that you had a hand in it. 3. Sigma is "aging" already? Kicking BMW ass around Nurburgring and it's "aging" 4. What happens to Alpha?

The president's laptop won't have Wi-Fi. He's not even allowed to keep his blackberry.

You'd have to renounce trickle down theory for me to even consider the idea of buying it for you. After all, if we all joined in and bought it for you, that'd be socialism. :AH-HA_wink: * *anyone who gets his panties in a twist over this joke, see me personally.

Windows 7 is running decently well inside a VM with 1.2 gig of ram. It actually boots faster than the host XP machine it's on.

you can't compare the fuel economy of FWD v. RWD when the two cars use two different fuels. I happen to agree with your final statement, it's just the way you got there that was wrong. I thought the 335d was coming here. Was it canceled/onhold/OMG SHELVED?

Apparently the Malibu handles it's substantial mass very well.

eh... too much grill and not enough car.
