uh... what? :blink:

Keep in mind this is a German car built on a German line that was never intended to cater to American tastes. Many lower end German cars come without A/C.

I smell a winner!

You didn't actually pay list on a Silverado did you? Did you ever test drive an Avalanche? They don't handle like the Silverado. As far as those innovations, none are Honda's except maybe the in bed trunk... which is surpassed in usefulness by the Avalanche's "saddle bags". The dual action tail gate dates back to the 60s or 70s on the GM wagons.

81,000 trouble free mile actually hauling heavy $h! ftw

That's.....disturbing.....

Where are the in bed trunks in the Chevys? In an infinitely more convenient location. I keep an air mattress, pillow, and sheets in one side, and there is enough room for a small duffel bag on the other side. It locks. It can be used as a cooler if you fill it with ice. It has a drain hole for said ice. It's lighted and weather proof. Where is the innovation from Honda I ask you? Why didn't they make the Ridgeline with a midgate that folds down to allow a full 4x8 bed? Why doesn't the rear window come out... and still have a rear defroster? Why does the Ridgeline with 247hp and 245ft/lbs only get 16/21 with a 5,000lbs tow rating when an Avalanche with 320hp and 340 ft/lbs gets 15/20 AND runs on an Alternative fuel with an 8,000lbs tow rating...... Where is the innovation indeed?

100% of the cost of an Avalanche with 30% of the utility.

Oh I know.... I specifically requested an Acadia for my trip to Houston... my other choice was an xTerra

Oh, I know I'm better off. It's taken me 5 months to realize it, but I did finally come to that conclusion.

FTA: Fixed:

saying != doing additionally... the quality problems in design are going to haunt them for 4-5 years while the new current models shake them out..... For some reason, I doubt we've heard the last of Tundra, Avalon, or Camry quality issues for the current models..... This still could be enough to tarnish Toyotas rep..... that they even released a mia culpa speaks volumes....this isn't their style.

He's not a stalker, he's trying to avoid me as much as possible...especially after 45 minutes of me going off on him yesterday. No, he's just trying to get his stuff that he's left at my house for 6 months and is now worried that I'm going to do something bad with it........ perhaps he knows me too well.... :AH-HA_wink:

hahah... it seems that he was here today while I was at the office but couldn't get in. C&G FTW!

I have talked with Daddy Warbucks once when I thought I was going to try and be on friendly terms with the both of them. Already 6 months into it he said "Chas definitely marches to the beat of his own drum". What is cute at 6 months isn't so cute at 2 years. Chas won't change, he'll screw this one up too. Daddy Warbucks will get tired of Chas's shenanigans and drop him like yesterdays newspaper. I just hope that I'm around to watch it happen so I can point and laugh.

I wouldn't. It's being compared to a BMW in terms of ripping off the styling.

Initial cost is higher. I doubt that Honda or Toyota are letting cars go for a few hundred over invoice.

well something isn't right there. There isn't an Acadia and I know that Budget is featuring them as their SUV upgrade. Edit: Fusion isn't a shocker, something had to replace the old Taurus Mustang is the "standard" car for most rental agencies and it's the convertible for any rental agency that doesn't rent Chryslers <i.e. the smart ones> Chrysler 300 has been that way for a while. They're all the Plymouth Newport 2.7litres Charger is similar enough to 300 Avenger does surprise me I've seen a bunch of Enterprise Auras... so not shocked there. Crossfire must be going to the "premium" fleets that Alamo and a few others have now. Some of them even will rent you an XLR with enough notice. Edit 2: What should be a shocker... look at Lucurne. 13%? LeSabre used to be the full sized darling.

Thank you bobo, that worked <not that I doubted you>. I feel more secure in my house now.

FWD FTW

thank you. trying now.

Problems with the Ex... and his opinion that he should be able to walk into my house whenever he pleases.
