uh... sorry, without a link I'm calling Lung cancer, asthma, emphesima are all faaaar more epidemic than Liver cirrhosis. and even a worst case alcohol involved scenario, a deadly vehicular accident, will still cost less <financialy> than long term cancer treatment.

regardless, my Cadillac dealer offered to do both for me 3 years ago.

Nissan/Renault Alliance: GM Outgoing, FMC Incoming

A. Jeep is owned by Chrysler.... and Jeep is one of it's most stable brands. B. Once does not a pattern make. C. Ford and GM lost money to legacy costs. GM had it's best year <in terms of units moved> in something like 20 years in 2005. -
Why not just throw yourself in front of a bus and get it over with quicker then? edit: I felt I should be more sensative about this. How about... Why not just throw yourself in front of a bus and get it over with quicker so you don't drive up all our health insurance costs with a lengthy and absurdly expensive for a self induced disease, death.

yeah, the idea is to buy low, sell high. Ford is not going to get much lower than they are now.
-
and means you're not yet thinking with your head. You need to find out more information about the car first. I'm sure Fly can tell you that first gen Aurora's can be expensive to have work done if they need something. They are a very unique car and can only be serviced a some Cadillac and some former Oldsmobile dealers... often times being one in the same.

Oh yes, so much duller than the Infinities of the day *I purposely didn't include the lower end w-bodies because they weren't competing with Infinity.

I said "around town" didn't I? Usually in the city, if I'm driving a lot downtown, I get about 18mpg. But I have found the glory of the East Busway here in Pitt that puts me in downtown in 30 mins while listening to my iPod and reading a book for the mere price of $60 a month. Now, that means the remainder of my trips are leisure.... and for some reason, on this tank, I'm getting 24mpg and it's 3/4 of the way gone.

but it has completely different driving dynamics compaired to the 3.6. and being in the lighter epsilon platform, it's still pretty fast. and the Saabers like their turbos.
-
that's cause every American, that ever had a dream, dreamed of owning a Cadillac.
-
Heck if that's the case, the W-bodies should be broken up into 4-5 different platforms if they used Nissan's method.
-
Opps, I though that's where I originally put it.

I love your backhanded compliments Fly.

Are you thinking the J30 and the first gen Altima?
-
O.C. maybe you shouldn't drive it like it's your 'Vette. It sounds like the above poster does about the same as me. My last long distance run returned greater than 28mpg... and I wasn't gentle. Currently around town, I'm doing about 24... don't know how I'm managing that, but still.

One pic of each part.... or ziplock bag of parts.

PARIS (AP) - The French defense ministry on Saturday called for an internal investigation of the leak of an intelligence document that raises the possibility that Osama bin Laden may have died of typhoid in Pakistan a month ago but said the report of the death remained unverified. "According to a reliable source, Saudi security services are now convinced that Osama bin Laden is dead," said the intelligence report. linkity just in time for the mid-term elections

Why is Nissan acting this desperate? -
Come on guys! Everyone grab your pitchforks and pile into the Avalanche!

Buick wasn't always a full line division, in the 40's and 50's they had maybe 4 models. In the 60s that number when up to 5 or 6. It wasn't really till the 80s and 90s when Buick got a version of nearly every platform GM made. So if anything, Buick is returning to its roots.

OOOooh. Tortoise shell wood. I'm sold!

When is this due to arrive?

I voted "yes" with the same disclaimer as Booyah and Croc and Detroitnut

I'm not arguing with his credibility, he might be able to see the entire Toyota lineup till 2020, but that doesn't mean the GM, or anyone else for that matter, can't match it. But more importantly, when we here these "We are Toyota of Borg, Prepair to be assimulated" messages we end up with just a "ho-hum" product. Sure it's blandly styled, sure it's resonably reliable, but GM, Honda, Acura, MB have all shown they can easily "match" Toyota when they put their pencils to it.
