You're all sooo wrong! This is obviously the Blue Devil mule....

Lemme see if I've got this right. 4.0-liter V-6 (236 horsepower, 266 pound-feet of torque) and 4.7-liter V-8 (271 horsepower, 313 pound-feet of torque) and a yet unamed amount of power in the 5.7 are going to beat Chevy.... when chevy has 195, 295, 315, 365, and a future hybrid? Riiiight. Opps, I forgot. *sips kool-aid* PSUSHRODS ARE TEH SUXORS. Personally, I think it's astonishing that Toyota takes 4.0 litres in a DOHC 6 to make 236hp and 4.7 litres in a DOHC 8 to make 271hp when Chevy can make 242 in a 3.7 litre 5 cylinder and 291 in a 4.2 litre 6 cylinder..... I'd have given them more credit really...

Unfortunately, no such thing... "Corinthian Leather is a marketing term that does not actually indicate any particular type of leather."

I'll see your "meh" and raise you # 348 horsepower # 341 lb.-ft. of torque

That isn't a freight train. It is the American Freedom train of 1976. That engine pulled the prestigious Daylight Limited from the 30s to the 50s. It had the finest of woods, silver, stainless steel, and fabric.

It's not just edmunds Fly. C&D does it. Motortrend does it. Personally, I don't want something that rides as rough as an M3. Heck, I drive the Avalanche to take a break from the "rough" ride of the CTS on these awful Pennsylvania roads. Something softer than a CTS but stiffer than a Lacross would be nice.

I can see it now... a headline that says "Chrysler admits to lots full of unsold inventory yet not an LX car in sight"

and in the winter time it can be used for plowing duties....

Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.

2-stroke? People are thinking it's a flathead because they don't see anything involving a valve train, but that's really because there is none.

Very Saab

Give me a big freakin car with actual edges and a sharp turning radius. I could park my '85 Continental in spaces that would make Focus drivers jealous. Mostly because I could see the edges of the car because it wasn't a big jelly bean and because the front wheels could turn at such a sharp angle that you'd think they were going to fall off.

is that anything like the 1976 Freedom train?

9-3 with an Avalon butt.

LOL just be glad it didn't say ".... on second thought, go buy a Ford."

very tough choice. I think the Aura wins out with me with the tinyest of margins. I like the size of the Lucerne more but I prefer the powertrain of the Aura. What *really* causes me confusion is the interiors. While I like most of the look of the Aura's interior, I prefer the center stack and the material quality of the Lucurne.

If it weren't for the fact that I'm waiting for a 2008 CTS to replace my current one, I'd probably end up in an Aura. It really is that good. Edit: With as good as a setup as the XR is, I am wondering what GM will do for an Aura Redline. That could seriosly end up being the GTO of today.

I do agree that the XR I drove was quiet, but my comparison car is a CTS which is fairly quiet in it's own right so it's not something that stood out to me. Put it this way, if you blind folded me the sound would have made me think that I was in my own car since the engine notes are identical.

Nissan's interiors, but not in a good way. Civic interior, but not in a good way.

Something I always try to remind new owners of an AWD car. "All cars have all wheel stop."
