  1. Even as old as it is... 3800 > Chrysler 2.7.... I've driven both. Base model for base model, the Lucerne is a superior package... even if just in ergonomics alone. And before someone springs on me with "but the 300 is RWD!".... who the f@#k cares which wheels are driven if you only have a 2.7 litre V6 in a nearly 4,000lb car? If you're that hopped up on RWD, you're probably buying a used Mustang GT, Lincoln LS, 300c anyway. The $24k 300 feels like a Plymouth....especially with the rubbermaid feeling interior. The $25k Lucerne still feels like a Buick..... you still get the quiet tuning, and the materials feel better.
  2. Passport agency received my renewal application and paperwork on April 5th. Today, I finally got word. Last Name: DOWDELL Date Of Birth: 11/07/1978 We have finished processing your passport, and it has been mailed to you. You requested delivery by regular mail. Passport Agencies use Priority Mail. This means you should receive your passport on or about 07/14/2007 Over 3 months for a renewal!?!? I can't imagine what new passport applicants must wait for.....
  3. Uhm... the Camry gets 33 highway, the Accord 34 highway... both with 4 cylinders < 170hp. The Impala gets 31mpg highway with 211hp and a lot more torque. If you really need that extra 3 - 4 mpg, get the 4 cylinder Malibu... but even the V6 Malibu gets 32mpg. So where exactly is Chevy lagging... or do we just automatically hold domestics to a higher standard?
  4. Envoy it is then.
  5. Sorry, gonna have to disagree there. Cadillac should NEVER sell on affordability. That should be Buick's job. Cadillac needs to be tier 1 again.... even if that means I can't afford one.
  6. GM could produce a fully working model of Christ himself and there would be someone complaining that the water to wine function only dispenses Merlot.
  7. Where was this during the front overhangs thread??!?
  8. the hell they're not!
  9. Well, sadly GM is selling Allison transmission.... I'm sure GM could have lifted a 36 speed out of a tractor trailer for use in the DTS....but really when does it stop? 10 speeds? There has to be a point where, in a passenger vehicle, you just don't need more than a certain number of gears before you just jump to CVT.
  10. heck, I can get 5.5% at the local credit union.
  11. This is such non-news. "A part of the car can catch fire if fire is dropped on it!" NO WAY!!?!?
  12. uh.... can you PM me?
  13. August 4th.... you owe me another Dr. Pepper.
  14. No? What part is wrong?
  15. yes, but is it a hemi?
  16. A Tahoe hybrid saves more fuel over it's life compaired to a non-hybrid Tahoe than a Prius saves compared to a Corolla.
  17. While I would personally prefer the 3.6 be in there... I've been behind the wheel of a Lucerne V6 a few times and have no issues with the 3800. It's a completely different beast than my CTS.... and I drive it accordingly.
  18. you have to remember that the Mustang was basically just a Ford Falcon 2-door fast back with bucket seat option....
  19. This isn't OPEC. This is because there has been too much consolidation in the gasoline market. Too few companies control too few refineries.
  20. ax them to sen yinz another one n'at
  21. Sebring convert
  22. Alero 4 or 6?
  23. I caught a spy shot of it today while I was out..... eat your heart out Chris!
  24. Yukon/Tahoe already is best in class.....
  25. Condense that down to a single ad and it'll be great! Forward it to Lutz!
