But the 700,000 engines that they can't produce would be the smoothest running, most fuel efficient, powerful things this side of cold fusion!

CX / CXL 2.8HF CXL / CXS 3.6HF Super 3.6HFDI all with 6-speeds. It's the simplest lineup that still keeps thing interesting.

There hasn't been a suitable explanation as to why a pushrod engine can't have more than two valves.... If you're going to compare pumping loses, compare a SOHC 2 valve engine to a pushrod 2 valve engine. Pumping loses are likely to be similar. Taking that into account, the location of the cam in the engine becomes moot. It's the number and location of valves that is important.

Uh, Sorry gramps. Toyota was beaten to the punch not by GM, but by Tesla Motors. How it Works

While I mostly agree with you evok. Could you imagine the squawking going on if the Silvi had $1500 on the hood 1 month after release?

dude, if you were single and one of the 25% on this board, I'd be all over you in a second.

GMAC, along with the rest of the mortgage industry, is going to be in deep $h! later this year. Since December 06, 27 mortgage companies have gone bust. GMAC won't be the goose that lays the golden eggs for much longer.

we should e-mail bomb him with the domestic cars that can get over 20mpg

I understand that... but the characteristics are so similar as to say "why bother"

My therapist gets $15 bucks a week for it.

This vehicle has been sold.

Why would you want a Unibody Pathfinder when you have the Murano in the same lot?

It's gotta look something like this:

Free Kool-Aid for EVERYONE!

The only way I'd buy a 35k Hyundai is if they built the Pheaton <as is> and sold it with a 100k mile warranty.

completely disagree.... seeing as I owned some '85s. My 85 Toronado had a leather steering wheel with brushed stainless steel spokes. And *real* stainless trim throughout the car. Sure there was plood, but it was at least attractive looking plood. A sleek gloss black panel crossed the dash and lined up with the intrument pod. It was a bitch for fingerprints, but looked great when polished up. A stitched leather like material covered the dash and it was soft and padded. I had 8 way power adjustable seats. The leather of the seats was soft and supple. Ergonomics weren't great, but that didn't come about till the early 90s anyway. My 85 Continental had some of the sportiest seats to ever grace a Lincoln. Real wood everywhere. Soft padded dash. Great trip computer and climate control. surprisingly good ergonomics. Clean, attractive design with a nice European flair. As for some more recent examples. Aurora, Intrigue, Alero, GTO.

Hello 1979.....

The best way to tell the quality of a concept is if you can tell which brand designed it without looking at the badges. Take the badges off the SIXTEEN and you can still tell it's a Cadillac Take the badges off the G8 and you can still tell it's a Pontiac Take the badges off the Charger and you can still tell it's a Dodge Take the badges off the LaCrosse <concept> and you can still tell it's a Buick Take the badges off this..... and what is it? It's a G.A.S.

So... a profitable.... but not as profitable as we had hoped GM is still a downer. What'd they lose two years ago... 10 billion?

anybody notice that Volvo is now using 4 catalitic converters and 2 O2 sensors on the new models in an effort to keep emissions down?
