It's sad when a K-car Imperial is more in tune with it's time than this concept....

GM's been doing this for a couple of years now... it's about time they scaled it down to automotive size.

Oh I agree, I just still think it's funny that that Ford is even taking shots at the Sebring.

Nothing against a LaX, but what about a CPOed Lucerne?

Some of these celebrities come out like this simply to end the "scandal". Look at all the speculation about Lance Bass, Rosie, Doogie, etc being gay. After they admit to it, it becomes a non-story. It is fairly well known that Anderson Cooper is gay. He has been seen at the gay bars in D.C. many times. He doesn't hide it. I fear though that some "reporter" somewhere will decide to report on Anderson's closet and start harassing him. Then Anderson will end up on some "coming out" special with Barbara Walters.

When Ford can point at you and say "HA HA" in a Nelson voice, you know you're f@#ked.

Hey Chrysler, try selling the cars you've already built first.

I, for one, hated the character of Jack on Will & Grace simply because he didn't show that differences are small. I felt that he perpetuated the negative stereotype and just reinforced peoples view of gay people. I can't stand gay guys like that at all.

Thanks guys! I hope I get what I want for my B-day.

Yowza!

It's not meant for those situations. This is a car meant for running down to the WaWa to pick up some pork roll but not using the S-class to do it.

that thing must understeer like a sonofabitch

Anderson Cooper doesn't actively hide it. Just because he hasn't been on the cover of Time with "Yep! I'm Gay!" doesn't mean he's not out.

Yes, we get smart in 2008, but not for any automotive reasons.

The technology is a sunk cost. The only increased cost is time and materials. All it does is change the amortization.

kaka

here's an idea drop both the 4.3 and 4.8 and replace it with just the I6. GM could/would save on production costs by simplifying the lineup with the clearly superior engine.

Regardless of ones political affliliation, I believe there should always be a check and balance in the government. Right now we have none. I nearly always support the party opposite the party in the whitehouse.

It's completely in front of the front wheels, it looks as if it has it's flywheel between the two banks of cylinders, is it a chain drive?

I just rode in an X3 yesterday. Just a passenger, I didn't get to feel the driving dynamics, just ride and interior materials. this was an '06 X3, so not the "new, but really the same thing" X3 we've been discussing here. 1. Dash materials. All of you people harping on the CTS for it's dash materials while giving BMW a free pass must shut up right now. The dash area in front of the passenger was made up of a rough feeling rubberized plastic that would have been more appropriate as a bed liner on a Silverado <I'm sure by virtue of being a Chevy, the bed liner wouldn't have that "quality" feel of a BMW.> 2. The seam where the passenger airbag would deploy from was all wobbly. 3. The passenger door wouldn't unlock. The owner had to try repeatedly to unlock the doors with the key fob. Eventually she gave up and got in her side, reached across and pulled to door handle to open it for me. 4. The entire area around the NAV is the same exact plastic as the plastic around the CTS's center stack. 5. She said the vehicle has been back to the dealership on a flatbed due to a computer malfunction twice in the 2,600 miles she's had it. She consider's this acceptable. Her dealer provides free kool-aid. 6. The ride was *much* stiffer than the CTS. While this might be acceptable on the track or in areas of the U.S. with roads not made out of multiple sizes of rocks, it is completely wrong for western PA. Every expansion joint or road blemish was felt. 7. The leather on the seats was very nice. Soft, supple, perfectly proportioned. 8. It felt like it has a good amount of punch even with the only minimally aggressive way she drove. 9. She is the exact stereotype of the X3 driver. Middle aged, blond, female, poor driver <already has curb rash>. This item really isn't a review item of the car itself, but just shows the demographic this car obviously appeals to. The stereotype is there for a reason ya know.

MDX what?!?

Here is my issue. Why doesn't GM study for the test. They know what the car magazines are usually looking for. Why not have a fleet of Cobalt SS sedans in both manual and automatic form available for testing? In the test fleet GM should include it's best* examples. *best according to the people at the car rags

uh, the tundra's 4.7 spec was in the C&D preview article of the new tundra My point about the I5 is that it's a modern DOHC truck engine. The V6 in the Silverado is older than god and personally I don't think it should be in there. They should have used the Atlas 6 instead. It is what it is though and very few buyers opt for the 6 anyway.

Cadillac sold 40,000 copies of what is like one of the most profitable vehicles in GM's entire lineup and C&D wants to knock them for it? Right, no media bias there.

I understood that, I didn't get the point Toyoguy was trying to make
