I agree completely.

RamBox on 2009 Ram?
Get an Avalanche then? This idea has been around since at least 2002. The ones in the Avalanche are lit and have a small drainage hole at the bottom. Fill the sides with a bag of ice and a case of beer.... I got your cooled cup holder right here. And I used the Avalanche as a real truck too. It would haul construction materials and tools, and I'd even load pallets of brick into it with a fork truck. I'm certain I took it over it's payload rating, but it took it no problem.

I loved the ones on my 2003 Avalanche. I always called them the "saddlebags"

RIP G8 ST
Remind me what's going to be built at Oshawa again? Impala and Camaro simply cannot support the volume that these two factories are capable of putting out.

Lincoln Goes Little with Concept C
It doesn't work when Benz does it. It doesn't work when Lincoln does it. But wow... a front bench seat!

The oppressive conformity of the sedan

Ford Flex Ecoboost - 3.5L 350hp
What I'd really want is an Ecoboosted 2.8 litre V6 with around 280hp but gets 26mpg.

I got 18 highway out of my '03 Avalanche without AFM.

Cadillac Volt (nee Converj)
With an electric powertrain, you don't care about horsepower; torque is what matters.* *Same could be said about ICE, but I gave up that fight long ago.

What is so difficult about slapping an already developed LHD interior into an already developed RHD car/truck, slapping on a Pontiac nose and putting it on a boat with the sedans you just did the same thing to?

2010 srx in the snow
They're all over Western PA. But then again, I think every single Envoy XUV was sold in the Pittsburgh region.... because I see more than my fair share of those.

2010 Buick LaCrosse
My bad on the DI thing. The website I looked at had the LS listed as SEFI.

2010 Buick LaCrosse
Doesn't matter when you're still wrong about the torque steer. GM could still do a FWD Super

What will my next new vehicle be?
he can look at me like that...

2010 Buick LaCrosse
by "all that 2 years ago" you mean just the 8-speed right? Lexus doesn't have a direct injection V8 and they don't have a 2-mode hybrid.
-
What will my next new vehicle be?
Bold Moves.
-
2010 srx in the snow
I think that is more due to the fact that Buick hasn't had anything to really offer the ES buyer since....welll ever. If the new Malibu can run with the Camry easily, then the new Lacrosse should run with the ES just as well having similar upgrades.
-
What will my next new vehicle be?
Due to current economic conditions, a 2015 Ford Falcon UTE

Proof that the Malibu is taking a chunk of sales from CamCordTima
It's great that you can see the worst in anything good written about GM. The article didn't say any of that. Most articles rate the Malibu as the best looking of the bunch and consider the Malibu a pleasure to drive. You're just grasping as straws to say anything negative about GM. Stop trolling or be banned.

Proof that the Malibu is taking a chunk of sales from CamCordTima
You first with the thinking. Monte Carlo, Ion, and Grand Prix are out of production. Impala, during the past year, did much better than expected with retail sales, much of the decline was in fleet sales. Lucerne and DTS aren't even close to the same class as the Malibu, no one walked out of a Cadillac dealer after seriously considering a DTS and went to buy a Malibu. Only the G6 and maybe the Lacrosse fit your argument, but both are at the end of their lives anyway. And if Pontiac or Buick are going to lose a sale, I'd much rather them lose the sale to Chevy than to Nissan, Honda, or Toyota. That's what having multiple brands is all about isn't it?
