What what what?!? Where is the hooting and jibber jabber over the rubbermade garbage can lid?!? At least Cadillac put some effort and style into theirs.....

Well.. of course no debt is a good thing.... but I no longer have any investment advice that I can feel confident in giving. I'm in real estate as a buyer and I'm even scared of what's going to happen. I don't want to be chicken little, but the potential problems our economy is facing as a whole look very very bad.

hmm... only about 10000% better than the original

Buick has the QuietTuning

Quite honestly, I don't know. Best advice I can give at this point is to live as debt free as possible.

someone rent a U-haul lately?

What tool spends 31k on a Tacoma?!? if you look through that second link, many of the Tacomas have under 5,000 miles.

I was just using the mortgage industry as an example because it's what I know.

I don't think the Vectra is on Epsilon. The Aura and Vectra are just styled alike.

OmG Teh PushrodS! Impala is teh Suxors [/every Impala review EVAR] I don't disagree with you on your points though. I would buy an Impala over a Malibu myself <I really like the SS in black>. But the Malibu addresses most of the concerns of the H or T wearing crowd. I think there is room for both the current Impala and new Malibu to sell well.

you bought XY magazine?

was now actively tossing or selling.

I'm 28 and a techno-nerd. I'd rather have the TrafficNav offered in the CTS. I'd never buy the Malibu because I stick with the Cadillac class or go classic.

But do you see my point as to how Turn-by-turn can be better? Always get up to date information.

Again, you aren't listening. I'm saying that not offering NAV will not significantly effect sales. I'm not against them offering it... I just don't see it as such a big deal that they don't. And yes, I do think onstar turn-by-turn is superior because I've used it's predecessor.

That's EXACTLY how turn by turn would help you. *Press blue button* Rep: Thank you for calling Onstar, how can I help you today Mr. Dude?" Bowtie_Dude: "I'm stuck in a terrible traffic jam on Interstate 75. What's the fastest way to Mr. Fantastic's Mexican Place in Tampa?" Rep: "Certainly. I can help you find that Mr. Dude. Would you like me to send the directions to your Turn-by-turn?" Bowtie_Dude: "Yes please kind Onstar lady." Rep: "Download complete, will there be anything else today?" Bowtie_Dude: "Could you change our reservation to 7:30, we're obviously going to be late. It's under "Dude, party of 4"" Rep: "Certainly, hold one moment" *elevator music* Rep: "Your reservation is confirmed for 7:30 under Dude party of 4, anything else I can assist you with?" Bowtie_Dude:"No, thanks that will be all" Rep: "Thank you for calling Onstar and have a great day" Now.... do that with your Garmin.

I want to see a NAV system make me reservations at Buca de Beppo and then give me directions to the new one they built out at that new mall I heard about on the other side of town.

Except... ya know... the actual number 1 auto company in the world.

I think Buick should base around 30k and move up from there. No, they won't do that with the current models. The Lacrosse should match or exceed the ES in every way.

Good god do you ever read a post all the way through? Maybe get your cat to help you. What do you think me typing ".... if done right" twice was implying. I've already said the Lacrosse was beaten with an ugly stick. Clearly the Lacrosse hasn't been done right. My point stands on why you'd buy a base Buick over a loaded Chevy... if the Buick is done right.

Same reason you'd want a base ES over a loaded Camry. Because if done right, the base model Buick has better hardware and more options standard, not to mention classier looks and a more upscale badge.. ..... if done right.

happy b-day

Cobalt Turbo. HHR SS?

Was she driving a Toyota?

Notice I even have my little language bar set up so I can type other characters. Apparently Alt-148 doesn't work unless the numbers are typed on the 10-key.
