You. are. an. IDIOT. The selection of surround sound CDs is minimal. You might as well be demanding that GM install a Mini-Disc player in the dash.

Consider.... yesterday was April 1st.

Holden offering you a job is like offering an alligator a baby sitting job..... only the alligator isn't so scaley.

One month after April 1st of course.....

I link to my own website all the time on there when listing apartments for rent.

Here ya go edit: Wow that makes the 5-er's butt look droopy.

I've strayed from GM only once with a 1985 Lincoln Continental.

for now....

OMG?!? That Holden isn't a real coupe! It has a B-pillar!

GM Suxors!!! Where's NAV? I needed to connect my phone to the NAV via Bluetooth so I could operate the rear view camera with the adjustable pedals! Leave it to GM to put out such a $h!ty car. At least they got rid of the pushrod engine so that when I wipe my ass with the dashboard it stays soft and supple.

If you can get yourself one of the later GM Goodwrench replacement engines... snag it. They have all of the upgrades that the engine should have gotten at the beginning and are fairly bullet proof.

I like how all my comments, which are mostly factual rather than subjective, get voted down.

I wouldn't be concerned. I would expect the Aura to become much more Germanic while the LaCrosse will tilt much more American style luxury.

For me, not so much, I've already converted my entire house to compact florescent. The new CF bulbs look so much like incandescents no one who visits my house seems to notice the difference.

The 3.0 was also used in the Catera for it's entire run. It's an obscure engine, but not a short lived one.

I hope all the people that did this realized that they saved nothing in terms of impacting the climate. Unless all the people that did this are served by diesel generators <unlikely>, simply turning off all electricity suddenly doesn't shut the power plant down. Most power plants operate by boiling water. Regardless of the fuel used to heat the water, the process is the same. If demand on a power station drops suddenly, the excess steam is vented out into the atmosphere. Power plant operators can scale back the amount of fuel being used, but it isn't an on/off type of situation. Water just takes a long time to heat up and cool off. So yea.... nice thought, but no effect.

uh.... both. :AH-HA_wink:

I can't imagine why.

Luckily for me, I know enough about the engine that even if I can't work on it myself, I know what questions to ask of any would-be mechanic. I did own one a while back.... and I probably will again.

You want pissed? Here's pissed....

I am another one of those guys. I actually like that engine. And it was a 215hp DOHC V6 in a time where V6s were hot if they even got close to 200hp. Some of it's contemporaries: Ford Mustang - 4.9 litre 215hp V8 BMW 5-series - 3.0 litre 215hp V8 Toyota Avalon - 3.0 litre 192hp V6 Ford Taurus SHO - 3.0 litre 220hp V6 - and this is where I get to point out to SHO fans that while the Cutlass supreme coupe has 5 less HP, it also weighs 200lbs less.
