Pebble bed breeder reactors are the next logical step in nuclear technology. They are inherently safer because they are self regulating.

Im gonna go buy a pellet stove and put the Cadillac away for the winter just after Hershey.

You mean like in this pic where the seam that runs between the center stack and the right side airbag cover is a different width at the top than at the bottom? If you're going to be of any value to us, you need to get in there and really start to pull on this stuff. Be like a 3 year old and yank on the trim as hard a possible. Did you even bring a crowbar?!?!? Free passes for Chrysler products...

I'm still wondering how they're going to pull a coupe out of this....

Remind me that I should drive when I visit you in FL. Heck if for no other reason than I'll have a rental.

Kentucky-Fried Camry Number 5,000,000 to Roll Out
Drew Dowdell replied to Variance's topic in Toyota
Does that mean the Camry 6-speed that is sometimes a 4-speed puts the Camry into the negative? The 4-speed debate is old. It doesn't remove any soul from the cars because GM's 4-speed is still smoother <and apparently better made than> Toyota's 6-speed and the known-for-going-bad 5-speed from Honda. -

Impala has the SS version and Malibu has the funky Maxx version. Just enough soul to push it above zero. -
Because each Cavalier sold had a $1500 healthcare albatross around it's neck. Since they were selling for around $13000 new, that didn't leave much room for profit. Each Deville on the otherhand still had that same $1500 albatross, but there was still room for profit.* *used just as an example.... dunno for sure the Deville is profitable.

Perhaps, but you also don't *need* to be as agressive when you have 417 ft/lbs of torque at 4300 rpm and a 6-speed auto. and please.... Edmunds not beating the snot out of a tester car?
-
That's not to say they're close. Nuclear is still waaaaaay above coal in BTU per pound of fuel. A combination of Nuclear, wind and solar <all 3 types>* would do well to reduce our dependence on burning things from the ground. *Photovoltaic, steam generation, Sterling engine.

because for you, they simply register in your brain as "the truth"

I drive my Avalanche like I stole it, almost never on the highway, and frequently carrying or towing heavy loads. 14.9mpg.... almost every time. It does go higher if I am going long distance on a highway. Heck, even with a loaded Uhaul trailer and a full truck bed, going over the mountains of West VA I did 12.9. Escalade has a 6-speed and a larger engine, it's a bit more than "tarted up"

This is great! I wonder if things like grass and yard clippings could be used. I'd gladly drop off my yard waste to a processing plant.

$3.55 as of now....

in a rare moment, I agree with Croc

Cool looking... .but why must everything be called a "sport luxury" sedan. Whatever happened to arriving to your destination in the utmost comfort and luxury? That's what this concept really looks like it should be.... it's not a "sport luxury" sedan. edit: Additionally, there is nothing about this concept that says "I'm a Cadillac" to me. It doesn't even have the trademark grill.

I'm thinkin those side mirrors aren't going to hold up to U.S. regs....

gosh that looks cheap.... I do like the over all look though.... the way those verticle silver bars, hide, then reappear below the HVAC, making it look as if the HVAC is mounted on rails.

EPA fuel economy estimates are [b]19 city/23 highway [/b]but those figures are a bit optimistic. We averaged 11 mpg a citta and 17 a l'autostrada but we were admittedly heavy-footed. The turbo boost is just too much fun to drive conservatively. Please note: The RDX drinks premium [b]91 octane gasoline[/b]!!!!Put in perspective, the Vue Red-Line has 250hp and gets 19/25.... and yes I know it's a honda engine.

Proof that even a great SUV can still end up looking like a CRV De Lux

One guess who owns Bentley.

Clean coal is a half truth. They've found a way to burn coal cleanly, and as far as BTU per pound it is second only to nuclear out of the main stream fuels. Getting the coal out of the ground is another story. Coal mining itself is a very enviromentally dirty and destructive process.
-
That is an excellent measure of the health of the company. Good to see that the Cobalt is now turning a profit.
