Edmunds first test HHR SS
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?

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.

Lutz: new Buick LaCrosse a "mind-boggler"
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.....

TCC: Cerberus Spins Nardelli’s Bankruptcy Talk
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"

Makes cents to me...
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.

Around here, if you buy gift cards from the local grocery chain, you get 20 cents off per gallon at their gas stations for every $50 you spend on gift cards. the gas stations usually have the lowest fuel prices around too.
