  1. :rolleyes: they'll be showing the next generation concept at that point
  2. It's coming!!!
  3. I know the Riv is old news at this point, but it is certainly no slouch on style.... and would make an excellent platform sharing mate with the CTS Coupe. GM producing both of them would make some decisions very hard.... The Riv and CTS could be GM's His and Hers coupes...... but all the more reason to change the name of the CTS to Eldorado.
  4. they also get to charge more for the "base" sigma you really want the Camaro to start at 30,000?
  5. We are currently under a brute force attack on our server. Things may be a little unstable here for a bit.
  6. A RWD Impala contributes to the volume needed for NA produced Camaro, G8s, GTOs, Park Aves, and DTSes.
  7. If what PCS wants comes to fruition, I hope that Buick, Pontiac, and Holden get sold off to someone else. Better to be alive and well under someone else's roof than crippled and on life support or 6 feet under. It will be interesting to see what Tata does with Jaguar and LR. If they keep those brands true to their roots and do it well, I could see Pontiac and Buick also being purchased to give Tata a crack at the lower end of the market. I know most of you don't like the idea of foreign ownership <me either>, but I'd rather jump ship than stay on board while Commander PCS* steers the ship directly into the iceburg. *Or was that Captain Ahab... chasing after his white Holden?
  8. the 2-mode hybrid fits in the same space as a 6-speed auto... so I dunno why Zeta couldn't have one.
  9. It's not. It's a red herring used to cover up that GM-Europe is trying to take over the company with their own ideals.
  10. don't all the rentals get either the 4banger or the 3500?
  11. do not do system restore
  12. Farmers cannot simply "switch" crops. Certain crops only grow successfully in certain areas and climates. Just because we have a lot of corn producing land does not mean we should use it for automotive fuel. Grass clipping, distillery waste, sugar cane <potentially imported from South America>, algae, kelp, corn husks all can be used.
  13. but it can be made much more efficient than gasoline can. Ethanol burns at lower temperatures, thus the cooling system can be smaller. Ethanol is very high octane and can run at very high compression ratios. This allows for a more complete combustion and makes turbo charging and direct injection even more effective than their gasoline counterparts. So, while there may be less energy per gallon of ethanol, we already know how to make the engine get more of that energy out of the fuel.
  14. Burning ethanol releases less "new" carbon than burning dino-fuel.
  15. Yeah, because naming a truck "Colorado" in Australia makes sense....
  16. hmmm so in 2009, Germany may see a 2.9 litre diesel CTC... in black... blasting up and down the autobahn...with "C&G Media" bumper stickers
  17. Should be fixed now.
  18. + It will decentralize the fuel production in this country.
  19. I dunno Camino, that E85 Saab Biopower 4-banger sounded mighty fine to me.
  20. *shakes fist* GET OFF MY LAWN!!
  21. 4 years prior to me getting my driver's license..... thanks for the pics!
  22. Well, tomorrow you can watch me tie my shoes.
  23. We're having a script issue. We're aware of the problem and are working to fix it.
