$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.

yes... a 323... not a 325 or a 330... a 323... which basically means older model. I'm refering to two specific people here in PGH. Friends of friends... tools who like to talk up their 8? or so year old BMWs.... yet still insist they have V6s. This has nothing to do with the 3-series v. CTS debate... it's about people who don't know their cars yet yap about them anyway. the CTS is still a 5-series at a 3-series price.... the size difference makes sure of that.... what's 12 inches between friends anyway?

All cars get the same mileage sitting and idling. 0 mpg.

I noticed it, but let it go. I hear $h! like that from the 323 drivin gay boys who insist *their* V6 is better than my CTS's V6. I'll agree that the BMW 6 is a bit smoother, but I have more gitty-up..... and at least I know what configuration my engine is in. Isn't the old GS I6 related to the Supra motor?

Just because it's there, doesn't mean we have to use it...... if we can use a fuel that: 1. produces less polution <through production methods> 2. is more CO2 neutral <the gross amount of CO2 introduced to the atmosphere minus the CO2 removed from the atmosphere by the plants> 3. is a locally produced .... Ford employees are gonna need jobs dontcha know 4. Can get the same mileage as gasoline if the engines are tuned for it as a primary fuel. 5. Costs less. Why wouldn't we use it? Me, I'm excited by the possibility of buying an E85 burning Avalanche Hybrid next year. Once I get it, I'll only fill up with E85 because I want to support the enviroment, U.S. jobs, save some cash, and not support Al Quiada. Before you rant at me for driving an Avalanche... it's my secondary vehicle that I use for business purposes. I own a bunch of apartment buildings and use the Avalanche to haul construction materials. I use the bus for trips in the city and have a CTS as a roadtrip car.

The Buicks only have bigger engines available for more money and GM has not said they are replacing the 3800 in the W or G/H bodies any time soon. The 6speed will likely not go into the W-body and probably not go into the G-body. Lexus on the otherhand replaced an old engine with a superior engine for the same money. You point doesn't hold.

We've seen, more often then not, that the EPA ratings on many <not all> Asian cars is.... optimistic. While quite often, many American cars <GM especially, Ford less so> handily beat the EPA ratings. Highway rating for the Cobalt is 32 or 34 depending on the model. A fairly substantial number of owners regularly report 36mpg or 40mpg. Highway rating for the 4 cylinder Malibu is 32, yet again owners regularly report 35+. Highway rating for the V6 Malibu is 32. Owners regularly report 34+. The Prius, the supposed mileage king, gets substantially less than it's EPA mileage. The highway rating of the Corolla is 38 or 41, depending on the model..... suprisingly owners don't see that kind of mileage unless they're on flat land with the cruise on and the A/C off at 55mph. So yah, lets not compair real world to EPA.... it would take away the Asian's unjustified perceved marketing advantage.

walt layin out the smack down!

meh, a '94 Bonneville is still much more comfortable and comes close in highway mileage

truth!

Best situation is #3... leave the cruise on. Otherwise situation 2 saves the most fuel.

I stay very bleeding edge. I'm running Windows Vista RC1 now..... have been for about a week and not looking back. I dual boot to Ubuntu Linux.

You're thinking P IV. Celerons are newer than PIII.

These new banner ads look like drug ads. "Find out if Versa is right for you" To learn more "Download PDF", where download pdf is in a pill shape. Versa (next generation subcompact) And of course touting the 36mpg highway What Nissan hasn't seemed to realize is everyone hates drug ads. Are people going ga-ga over 36mpg in this car? Mom's old '94 base Bonneville could do 32mpg highway if you were gentle. Cobalts and 4-cylinder Malibus hit 36 mpg no problem. V6s do 33.
