So here's the deal guys. I am contemplating a move out of the country for a few years. I plan to put the CTS up on swaplease to get out of my lease early, but I do want a vehicle <other than the Avalanche> to drive in the meantime while I'm still in the states. Storage when I leave isn't a problem. So I'm looking at 1979-1985 E-bodys and the Seville. Maaaybe a RWD 98 if I find one I like enough. Here is a Toronado I like

Might even be an option for Fly....

Here it is....

My member number is lower then yours, so I'm going to cut you some slack. </pompous ass> It's the PR machine of Toyota that is the problem here. It's Toyota's ability to have the car mags end with "...it's good, just not up to the Japanese imports" in every review of every domestic. Camry v. Impala is a great example of this..... reviewers will write pages about the Impala is behind the times with it's 4-speed transmission while praising the Camry's 6-speed..... yet what good is a 6-speed when two of the 6 gears don't work? You NEVER hear about those problems in reviews. The 4-speed might be old, but it's one of the smoothest and most reliable transmissions on the market. Now before any of you get your panties in a twist, I'm not saying that the Impala is a better car. I am saying that GM has matched Toyota on reliability in this segment and that the needs of the individual should be the deciding factor... NOT the reliability. I'll stop pointing out Toyota defects when reviews for Toyota cars end with ".... it's a good car, but it can't escape the <transmission/engine sludge/ball joint, airbag> reliability concerns of it's predecessor."..... because then I won't have to.

Bairel Oldsmobile Cadillac in Wexford... with a resounding yes.

1. Fleet 2. Captive audience, Regal/Intrigue buyers aren't going to Saturn 3. With all the rebates and deals on the LaX, it still is a good car for the money. 4. Aura is a new concept for Saturn, the L-series never caught on so it doesn't have a loyal following.

Yes... I think we need his comments in here. *warms up the phaser banks*

If you would like some financial advice, I'd be glad to help.

We call them RoadMonsters and ToadSmashers. The Custom Cruiser was the Custom BattleCruiser or Custom Bruiser.

I'm curious as to why the Forester is rated so low by you guys..... below the Compass?

PM me for links to the stuff that will......

That may be why they are replacing entire engines..... there may be collateral damage

This borders on schizophrenic! LaCrosse becomes Regal Saturn gets an Aura competitor Malibu stays on Epsilon 1 but will get an EL wheelbase to please former Impala owners and hopefully stick a fork in Ford instead of aiming for Honda. Alpha is getting design bits from the Kappas... which took their transmissions, rear diffs, and rear suspension from the Sigma and engines from Delta. The only parts that make sense are G6 and BLS on Alpha and the Saabs on EpII.

You don't have a driveway, you have a used car lot.

except the 2.8 seems to get the same mileage as the 3.6... which baffles me.

My favorite local band.... a cello rock quartet called Cello Fourte

being on the receiving end of this recently, I advise you to keep a respectful distance. It's not right to be a "homewrecker" For her, it ends up being a "grass is greener" situation.
