Maliturbu?

Reliability. Are we still going to determine which is better by the 0-60 and skidpad? Because if the BTS comes out with an interior like the CTS and performs at least 8/10ths as well as the 3-series, it's not going to be that difficult of a decision.

given the reaction most non-car people will have when they see it, how about G8 WTF

Is there any car anywhere that is perfect, no excuses? If not, why must Cadillac meet that criteria? I'm ready with my list for anyone who says "3-series", "5-series", or "S-class".

been using it without trouble since I installed it.... I also have IE, FF, and Safari for Windows open on my machine concurently.

you just don't pay attention when I do slam GM for things I don't like.

you managed to insult 2 out of my 4 most favorite cars in one post.

Full width tail lenses with horizontal lines in the lenses no grill and narrow headlamps and and a set of turn signals inset of the headlamps rather than outside, above or below.

look behind any camry from about 1992 on and you'll see that same low hanging exhaust pipe that looks like it's going to clip any speed bump it goes over.

She's a keeper..... and I mean the wife... not the car.... the link isn't working for me.

Probably a Cressida.

ah... that might explain it. Still @ GM for not offering it at launch.

after thinking about this a bit more and looking at the option packages.... Chevy really needs to consider adding the Turbo Ecotec engine as an option from the middle of the range on up. I should be able to get a loaded Malibu LTZ turbo. It'd probably help CAFE too....

not that I'm against a positive review, but.... 1. How did he get a car that GM hasn't produced yet? 2. The Passat was the first car with 4 cylinder - 6 speed combo. just putting that out there since we'd be the first to rip an inaccurate Toyota review to shreds.

And a basic illustration of the memory usage differences here.

we know it wasn't you because it wasn't a reported big foot sighting....

Yea, it's completely possible to put so many add-ons into Firefox that it becomes as stable as an elephant on rollerskates. Here a link to an article about FF3

man... pass some of that $h! over here! USDA Grade A Large Egg + Elantra door panels/fenders + Cadillac lights + Cadillac grill = EcoVoyager

With the STS selling like it is, I think they've got the room.

the inevitable results of this thread should be sent to Bob Lutz directly.

Considering the CTS comes in very very close to the 3-series in terms of handling even with it's bigger dimensions and heft, you'd think they get the idea. The old CTS-V bested the M5's laptime on the Nürgburgring. But the Cadillac is less expensive... so it doesn't count.

not quite the same thing. FF2 was leaky in memory, if you had multiple tabs open it would sometimes start chewing up memory till it crashed.

I"m just not sure how they can recover with their lineup. There is just nothing compelling left. The LX platform is arguably their best but that's now dated. Even the Taurus/Sable offers a more compelling package now with a nicer interior, AWD option, and class leading fuel economy.... you know it's bad when you're ceding the high ground to the Taurus. The Sebring, Avenger, Dakota, and Aspen are a bigger flop than a Will Ferrell direct to DVD movie. With gas parked in the $3.00 range, most likely for good, Jeeps other than the Wrangler are going to be in trouble. The Ram will be released right in time to go up against a new F-150 and the still fresh GMT-900s and unless Dodge has some magic fairy dust, I highly doubt the interior will be up to the competition's standards. So what's left.... Caliber, PT Cruiser, Wrangler, and the Mini-vans... If you were Cerberus, would you really want to hang your hat on those?

AutoBlog Link Chrysler has released sketches today of three eco-minded concepts it will be unveiling at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show in January, and the first we'll tell you about is the Chrysler ecoVoyager Concept. The ecoVoyager Concept appears to be a series hybrid, much like the Chevy Volt or Ford Airstream Concept, that uses a lithium-ion battery pack for jaunts of 40 miles or less and a hydrogen fuel-cell range extender to reach distances up to 300 miles away. Power is expected to be in the range of 200 kW total, which Chrysler claims is good for reach 60 mph in around eight seconds. The exterior features an extreme cab forward design creating an arch profile with flowing character lines coming from the front and back that intersect on the sides. The interior design is described as being like a luxury jet, though no images of the concept's innards have been released yet. We'll have to wait until we meet the ecoVoyager Concept in person come January to tell you more, but for now gaze upon Chrysler's first of three concepts that's slated for introduction on the biggest stage of the year.
