Most fuel efficient automakers
you don't know how many arguments I've gotten into on other boards with people saying that the 4 door Tundra is a true competitor for the Avalanche. They're better off claiming it isn't. You simply cannot beat the Avalanche for overall utility.

The Future Of General Motors
Or... to phrase it another way... Cobalt proves there is a market for a cheap basic car at $12,000. Which is why it'll hang around for a few years after the Cruze is introed.

More proof GM doesn't know what it's doing: CTS-V not bound for Europe
6 billion in revenues now how much did it cost them to make it? build the plant? make fake ads? recall it?

I'm trying to help mom find a nice used Avalanche to replace the Aurora.

cross overs crossing over too?
I still don't get it. I've talked to people who are shopping for a new vehicle anyway and they want to get a new CUV like a CRV "to save money on gas". They are coming from a 3800 powered Regal that is in perfectly fine shape. I just want to scream.

The Economy, Oil prices, and Globalization
Gold standard has nothing to do with it. It's the incoherent fiscal policy of the last two generations that have done it to us.

Is a 1.4L Turbo the right answer?
Who said the 1.4 would be for everyone? The 1.4 would probably propel the Cruze, the HHR replacement, and anything below that. We're not going to see it in a Malibu or Impala.

Cheers and Gears will be closed tomorrow
I told you months ago. He's in the trunk of a Daewoo Leganza with over 100k miles sitting at the back of the used car section of an undisclosed Mitsubishi dealer. You'll never find him.

Oh geeze... not you too?? We could have stuck with the gold standard and watched as Europe and Asia wooshed passed us in the global economy.

Is a 1.4L Turbo the right answer?
Again. 3 gay guys + luggage + 900km trip across Germany and France + Alps + 100hp VW Touran <same size as a Mazda 5> We did just fine at 130kmh.

The Economy, Oil prices, and Globalization
Globalization is a means of enriching the rich at the expense of the middle class, but a good part of the blame lies with the unions forcing higher wages for laborers. I hear about the money a lot of these GM workers are bringing down and I'm thinking to myself "why would anyone go to 4 years of college to be an I.T. worker and get saddled with that debt when I could make more as a production line worker?"

Lutz: No Beat for the U.S., smaller CUVs on the way, Insignia stalled
I'm still waiting for the stuff that would make PCS come in here to tap dance on Camino's head..... it sounds like Saturn is in greater danger than Pontiac, and that the Opels originally thought to be on their way are now stalled.... nothing popcorn worthy so far....
