  1. edited for clarity The 900s can sell at lower levels and still maintain profitability. Unfortunately for you they are still selling at a good clip and are only down compared to fire sale levels. Truck sales tend to be much more stable than SUV sales. Trucks are closer to the necessity side of the spectrum for many of their buyers. Aura hybrid Outlook, Enclave, Acadia Malibu Camero CTS Updated SRX and STS Astra Majorly upgraded Equinox and Torrent New Vue HHR, already selling the same or better than the PT, adding the SS model So, yeah... nothing really coming down the pike. Only if you are comparing to fire sale levels. But the remaining full size SUV sales would favor the GMT-900 SUVs because they're the only fullsizers with hybrid and E85 options. GM's biggest problems would be making enough Aveos, Cobalt, HHRs, Malibus, Vues, Equinoxes, Torrents, and Aura Hybrids to satify demand..... not exactly a bad position to be in. Small car incentives would disappear. Lutz is somewhat correct. Hybrids on smaller vehicles help the environment less than hybrids on larger vehicles. That's why GM started with busses and worked their way down. Toyota's plan of attack was the one that was ass backwards. You can't really blame Toyota though, they don't have experience building hybrids for 90 years like GM does.. By the time GM got to the Aura, they found a way to make a less expensive hybrid then their competition. Additionally, GM is getting ready to produce Hydrogen vehicles. They've already supplied some to the DoD. So are you. Broad sweeping generalizations are fun aren't they? What are you? Buickman version 2.0? Gas prices are already down substantially. Cobalt is currently profitable for them. The updated cars <Thetas, STS, SRX> plus the interesting sound of the Malibu and what we already know of the '08 CTS... yeah, I wouldn't count GM out yet.
  2. I thought the Vibe wasn't to continue after the current iteration... hence the need <?> for the G5. New Scion maybe?
  3. peace be with you and your family
  4. It was fairly commonly used secondary term <like fairy or fag> before the Stonewall riot. It became more of a primary identifier after the riot, which occurred on Gay Street in NYC.
  5. Her liking the TL disproves that point....
  6. Saturn Sky - to replace the VW Passat in Spring '07 NG CTS - to replace current CTS in Spring '08 Maybe Avalanche - to replace current Avalanche... IF a hybrid, E85 burning Avalanche is made available, otherwise, I'll drive my current on into the ground.

  10. Find me a Corolla that looks like it could be a baby Supra like the Cobalt SS looks like it could be a baby GTO.
  11. I think it's silly to everyone who is already out, yet fairly important to those who aren't.
  12. oh yeah, totally.....
  13. And if my grandmother had wheels she'd be a wagon. What else did you expect DCX to say, "Your $60,000 'Sport tourer' was designed by our Dodge Caravan team"?
  14. The only Lucerne V8s I've seen have been driven by young black men. Only the 3800s have I seen driven by Edgar and Mabel Blue-Hair.
  15. Probably no point since the CTS only has about a year and 1/2 left to it till the next model... best wait for the updated version to introduce it to the country.
  16. 17.6
  17. Kirk just said he wasn't buying more, he didn't say he was selling.
