I need to see one in black

Pop up screen in the dash

Would you believe that I'm unimpressed?

OK.... so what's the Merc look like?

Take a penny. Stick the penny in the tread so that Abe Lincoln is going in head first. If you can still see the top of Abe's head by the time the penny stops, you need new tires. Tread should be about even depth across the surface of the tires. If there is a variation, you either have an inflation/deflation issue, alignment issue, or some other suspension issue. Any issues <except those caused by air pressure> should be taken care of before, or at the same time as the tire change out.

I'm still disappointed by it. To me it's proof that nice interiors and DOHC engines don't really matter. It's the Kool-Aid that matters. The Intrigue with the 3.5 is still superior to the Lacrosse in my mind. The Aurora v2.0 is a little ahead of the Lucerne. If both of those Olds were still being produced today, I would *still* buy them over their Buick counterparts even if they hadn't really been updated. There are at least 3 gay guys I know all under 30, who are babying their Aleros as long as they can. One has even taken to looking for a low mileage used one for cheap to keep as a spare. Two Aurora owners under 30.... same thing. None of them have any idea what they'll buy next if they can't find a decent used Olds. GM pulled out a bit too early. The death of olds made me switch to Cadillac. I like Cadillac and I'm sure GM likes the switch. Cadillac doesn't hold my attention like olds did. I haven't even seen the NG CTS yet, but I'm already second guessing my decision to buy one. Prior to the Olds death, there was no doubt in my mind where I'd be shopping for a car. Now, I've seriously considered the NG Malibu, G6 Convertible, Aura, 9-3 Sport Combi, and NG CTS as serious contenders to replace my current CTS in a year. While it's great for GM that I'm willing to stick with GM.... isn't it sad that I can't get what I really want?! <2008 Cutlass Convertible FWIW>

as long as you can burn BIODiesel without voiding the warranty :sign0200:

in the 3 days or so after 9/11 when no planes were allowed to fly, scientists recorded a noticeable drop in atmospheric CO2. I'm not smart enough either way to know if global warming is human caused. What I am smart enough to know is, there is no reason at all to try and use as much energy as possible. I try not to be wasteful. 90% of my house uses compact florescent bulbs, my apartments all use compact florescent bulbs, I recycle the debris that I create when rehabing a house. If/When I have to replace heating/kitchen appliances, I choose the most efficient models I can afford. Yes I do drive an Avalanche..... rarely. I own one, but it mostly sits at the house unless I'm doing construction work. I'm down to about 500 miles a month on the CTS. I take the bus when/where I can. I'd like to replace all 3 of our current vehicles with E85 burning models. We now have two E85 stations in town. It's not difficult to be "green", you just have to care.

Eventually they're just going to incorporate the gear selector into the passenger side airbag cover. Seriously Chrysler, in a vehicle like this, just bring back the push-button transmission, add steering wheel TAPshift for your Caravan "sport" model, and market the hell out of it as either a blast from the past or bold new design. A row of buttons where you put the gear selector would have looked attractive instead of the dumbness that you put there.

So what if sale volume is down 9%, by how much are profits up? also, I wouldn't care if Cadillac only sold 500 SRXes a month as long as they made $5,000 net profit on each one.

you found only one?

in TheGoverment v. YouWithanAK47...... I'm going to bet on TheGovernment

V6... unless you're confusing the Legend with the Suzuki Verona ... or the Vigor which had a 2.5 litre I5

you need a rainbow version of the AH-Ha wink

isn't 9-7x dead already?

.

I take my right to bear arms seriously..... that's why I'm building a centrifuge out of old Lincoln Continental parts in my basement.

Higher starting price, growth in size of the new Malibu, rear drive scares the general public

If she's worth millions, a 3-series is "sluming" it at best.

Oh geez, here we go...

Looks like they found a use for all those left over Chrysler 300M grill inserts.

So the new Sonata would be ok with you?

Doesn't the current Malibu 4-cylinder do that? Remember, on the highway it doesn't matter if you have a 17 speed or a 1 speed as long as the final drive ratio at cruise is the same.
