I think you've been sniffing gas too much......

DOHC V8 <for those who can't handle the thought of pushrods> More conservative styling both inside and out. The STS does feel slightly bigger inside. The new CTS feels smaller inside than the first model. not saying I would decide in that direction... just listing possible reasons.

I just don't see it, they're both conservative and subtle: How is this Driver oriented and Teutonic? While this isn't? The both are horizontally oriented and flat with no canting towards the driver. The 1st gen CTS and both generations of Aurora have more driver oriented interiors than either of these vehicles. The center stack of the 5-er looks really jumbled to me. The center stack's buttons on the STS look a bit small in their packaging. btw, Teutonic means Germanic... so BMW forwarding "teutonic" as a desirable trait is a bit like Listerine inventing "chronic halitosis". By definition, this counts as "Teutonic" also: arg... I'll fix the picture links later when I'm not hindered by the webnazi at work.

Seriously! I rarely drive into work but today it was just a mess!

Screw you and your ability to tie up traffic in my town by depressing all the Pens fans! :AH-HA_wink:

Where can I find fleet numbers on the Yaris?

You were expecting George Lucas? Interiors need to be functional and handsome.

PCS implied Alpha for Buick

Is Toyota having problems with production or something?

Have you picked out where we are registering for our wedding yet?

It's a shame Chrysler can't keep the Sprinter. It's an fuel economical alternative to Econolines and Safaris.

Cancer just targets whatever is closest and consumes it. No, this is more like long range biological warfare launched by leaders of much smaller countries attempting to spread their way of doing things inside the US.

Wow, what happened with the Optima. Was there a refresh I wasn't aware of?

Wow, Lexus got pwned! Tundra is going to barely crack 120,000 at this rate, weren't they shooting for 200,00? They praise the Corolla, yet it's YTD sales are down 9.5%..... For all the noise Toyota is making about the Pruis, down 39% in a month where gas prices have jumped nearly 50cents is amazing. 2.2% YTD increase is nothing special. Camry is doing well, but Malibu must be taking sales. Total 'Bu sales are up 34% and retail 'Bu sales are up over 100%. Yaris doing very very well, but I'm surprised by tC numbers.

Only 1 percent retail increase for Cobalt? Time for the Delta II was yesterday GM.... I am honestly surprised with how well the Lambdas are doing. I expected them to really hit the skids. Good to see the Malibu and CTS still doing well.

Hardly. To neglect means to ignore. When a body takes steps against another, it is abuse, malice, or revenge.

Why not make cars lighter and put 300hp, ethanol burning, turbo 4-cylinders in them?

Pontiac is just dead. Buy your G8s and G8 STs while you can. They will be the last Pontiacs.

Actually, it looks like a mini-Vibe, which may not be such a bad thing.

The asians are already ending their oil subsidies....

Because GM got one <and only one> Epsilon good enough that it is now being compared favorably to the Camry and Accord and miles ahead of the Altima. So now GM is splooging all over itself to make more FWD appliance vehicles <though the 'bu does have character for an appliance>, while forgetting that it can continue to make appliances while still producing cars that the rest of us want.

To be fair, the Versailles was more of a response to the 1975 Seville than it was to the Cimerron.

What does a V8 have anything to do with it? There are 3 engines, at least, that could have worked suitably in just about any Zeta and still provided excellent economy. The 2.9 litre diesel should be offered. The two-mode should be offered. There is the BAS-II Turbo Ecotec with power curves damn near identical to today's HF3.6. No, V8 is just the excuse.... someone has it in for the ZETA.

depends on the neighborhood I'd imagine....

What if Alpha is able to be stretched and then you end up with a Zeta sized car with less weight?
