That would make them more modern than some of the platforms GM sells

Gosh you're fussy. How about a Holden Jackaroo.

The point of this entire class of car is not how fast you can get to 60, but how good you look doing it.

I've never understood how tire sizes work. My Cadillac has 225 55 16s I have another set of snow tires from another car.... <ahem>.... that are just laying in storage in my basement. I would like to include them with the sale of my car. They are 205 55 16s will they work?

OMG! THIs is teh bestest EVAR! I'm so glad da BEnz thought it up! GM is teh suck! -
I was commenting only on the styling..... I obviously can't comment on the materials.... though Aurora materials were still pretty good.

Purely a styling commentary.

ON EZ-PASS TOLL ROADS, BEWARE 'ORPHAN EXIT' FEE
Drew Dowdell replied to Oracle of Delphi's topic in The Lounge
Very simple way around this..... don't go through the entrance toll until you see the green light that your pass was accepted. -
I'm sorry, am I supposed to be impressed? First and Second generation Auroras still are better.

Isn't Westinghouse building the reactors that were partially developed by the Chinese and are of a style that are banned in the U.S. anyway?

Coming home from Europe almost a week early...
Drew Dowdell replied to trinacriabob's topic in The Lounge
So.... you'll be home right around your originally scheduled return date...... -
missed an important point there. Imagine what'd it do in a C-class.

Way to hit resale value and repeat business at the same time.

Poor outward visibility. Poor control placement, particularly the cruise control and steering wheel controls <the ones on the back of the wheel> the fact that I feel like I'm driving a bathtub the fact that this is a fairly upright car, yet it's dash surface area is nearly as large as a dustbuster van. <ever try to wipe off a window smudge while on the highway?>

Say what? It's not that diesels don't make good high performance engines, it's that manufacturers don't make good high performance diesels. No, they won't turn 10,000 rpm in your Honda S-2000, but who cares when you have 250 ft/lb of torque at 1,000 rpm? I'd like to add that with all the hoopla going on about Honda's 50mpg diesel Accord, Autoblog is already getting 55mpg out of their diesel Cadillac BLS.

incredibly interesting to see europe's take on what "hybrid" means.

Nice car, not worth the money they're asking though. My issue with these cars, I had an '83 sedan, was that the steering wheel and gauges weren't directly in front of you if you sat in the center of the driver seat.
