I'm kinda ok with this....though I think they need to hurry up and make a decision so the W-body can finally be put out to pasture. Let Pontiac have the more performance oriented product and develop a FWD/AWD G-body replacement for Chevy, Saturn, and Buick.

Regardless of the way you use cruise, as YJ has already pointed out, there is in fact a cancel button on the corp. 3 spoke. The new 4-spoke on the G-bodies, GMT-900s, and W-bodies appear to have a cancel button as well.

I'm not arguing against the use of a NAV. I'm arguing that the lack of NAV as an option will not harm Malibu sales in any significant way.

"special" is right

The people who do make brochures sometimes do make mistakes, however I do not see anything on GMC's site nor Carsdirect.com that hints at an SLT1 or SLT2 package. Furthermore, it looks like the 6-disk changer does not come standard in any package available on the 2500HD edit: And call him out on the power seats. 10 ways aren't available on the 2500HD that I can see.... you can get 6 way or 8 way on some Duramax models. 12 way seats come on the Denali

See, I think being an AWD wagon is what really set the Forester apart from the crowd. Now it's just a RAV-4/CRV wannabe.

I recommend looking at CarsDirect.com to see the different configuration options. You didn't specify which truck you're getting <regular, extended, crew cab> <4x2,4x4>. But just a cursory look seems to me there is no SLT1 and SLT2 package. The 6-disk changer also appears to be $250.

Good good.... and the exteriors?

It's not when the reviews are negative. It's when the reviews are negative unfairly <C&D, Malibu, Lows: No cruise control cancel; even though there is one> or that USA Today article where it sounds like the reviewer purposefully abused the car. I don't think anyone here has complained that the Malibu hasn't come in first due to media bias and even with 2nd or 3rd place finishes, most of the Malibu reviews have been fair. Those reviews are fine. Isn't this the same engine that is in the Solstice GXP, Sky Red-Line, and upcoming Cobalt SS that runs with Nissan GT-Rs around Nürgburgring?

Thread pwned. Thank you YJ

Have you taken it on a long distance trip yet? I wonder what pure highway mileage for you would be.....

if you can spring for a >='93 Roadmaster, go for it. The LT-1 is worth it.

Then press and hold the set button to slow down. If you really do need to slow down more than just coast, you'll be on the brakes anyway. Hit the resume button to resume your speed.

EPII gets AWD

I don't understand why, if the Lacross is more luxurious, more beautiful, better in every way than the ES330, it can't be "mind-boggling" if it is also FWD.... which is what the target market wants.....

It's on Epsilon II and it's an ES330 competitor. no, no RWD

wow... ya think? Chrysler has nothing compelling out or in the pipeline at this point. I fear they just handed the mini-van market to the Japanese. Their bread and butter sedans did a complete belly flop. They exited the economy sedan market. Where is the NG 300/Charger? They came out in March of 2004 as a 2005 model. Granted, none of this was under Cerebus's watch, but really, they need *some* cashflow to survive until redesigned models come out. I really think Benz saw what they they did with the Sebring/Avenger, looked over at Ford and GM, and said "F*ck this, I'm outta here"

I only had to buy one gift this year for the guy I'm...... spending quality evenings with......

DQ7SL SM5EG CG3CI

Mitsubishi Lancer mated with 6-series??

how about a mid engined car on the Kappa II platform with the HF 3.6 DI in the back?

not quite the same, but I had to visit 3 Cadillac dealers before one would sell me a CTS. The first one, where I had always taken the Cutlass to be serviced and nearly bought one of their last new Auroras from, tried to direct me to their Saturn building...... they lost my business permanently.
