Link to Autoblog Perhaps Chevrolet should see if Ford is done with the "Bold Moves" slogan yet, because some Chevy dealers have grown a pair and are trying a radical move. They're bringing enemy No. 1 right into their showrooms. Chevrolet is confident enough in its forthcoming Malibu redesign, that they're willing to have customers paw all over their mid-size offering and Toyota's Camry side by side. Instead of just telling potential Malibu customers that Camry ain't all that, Chevy's car marketing director, Cheryl Catton, suggests dealers put one of the best-selling Toyotas right there next to Malibus. Production of the new Malibus begins in October, and GM's ad push for the car begins in January. Look for the Malibu/Camry steel cage death match to begin about then. But wouldn't it be a small sales boost to put a Camry in every Chevy dealership? Catton thought of that, and recommends the Toyotas be rented.

I just don't see what is wrong with this interior that you guys.. <even Fly> pile up on it. None of these look in any way better style wise. They're all fairly conservative to the point of being bland..... I know this will give some of you boners... but I just don't see the obvious "superiority" over the STS. Exactly what is Mercedes thinking with that steering wheel. I actually like this one.....but it's because I'm a Star Trek fan and have always wanted to pilot the Enterprise. You guys can't serious be comparing it to this on terms of style.... snooze-a-rama here. Interesting, different... probably the most ground breaking in this class.... but how many M-classes does Infiniti sell?

The difference being, you *can* buy a converter box for your 1983 Zenith.

those candidates exist....they just aren't republican or democrat

I like the idea of that DTS convertible... the problem is, it looks better with the top up than the top down

Definitely a 58

why am I not suprised..... it fits him

With a shorter wheelbase

Honda ripping off Hyundai now? That looks like a Sonata

fixed

Is that Saturn's fault or Chevy's fault?

I see VW TDIs, MB E-class CDIs, and Jeep Liberty CRDs, with some frequency.

Part of the problem here was that GM/Onstar didn't know who they were going to switch do. Do they go Verizon? Do they go GSM? Do they go nextel? Yes they were a bit slow making the decision...... but what happens when CDs are no longer produced and you can only get your Nav system map upgrades on Blu-Ray.... what then? What happens when there is a replacement for Bluetooth in 10 years and all the new cell phones come out with "greentooth" and aren't compatible with your 2007 STS? What happens when XM and Sirrius eventually merge and require an "upgrade" in order to continue using the service. Think of the precedent that this case sets up for technology in cars....... and what sense does it make to sue GM over this when GM doesn't control the Cellular Network/Bluetooth standard/CD manufacturing/XM Radio system?

It looks like it belongs on Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends.

so you just cut and past all of your posts?

actually.... yes it does. Cadillac is showing this to us now. They are moving themselves up market and they're eventually going to have to abandon their lower end <for it's size class> DTS customers. The DTS is still holding Cadillac back.

then she can sleep in the garage... he <she?> drives what I buy him

She handle a stick well then? BTW, you realize your sig has now grown to take up 50% of the vertical height of a screen set to 1280x1024?

Saturn isn't the same Saturn it was back when it start.... "It's a Different Kind of Company" now.....

It took me 5 minutes to get that.....

I might. I'd take one over a G8..... not that there is anything wrong with the G8, but the Park Ave is more my style.

I most likely has the 200hp 4.9 liter so don't expect to be doing any stop light drag racing.... while not a 300hp Northstar, they're at least reliable and cheap to repair.

hell no on that price.....besides, has the transmission been replaced yet? Generally you do that at every other oil change on the Taurus.

There are spy pics up of the Grand National at www.notgonnahappen.com

I guess only Toyotas with a T on them try to ram you?
