Ya know why? Because you have 110hp at 6,000 RPM....that's with the IMA running. Electric motors aren't very good at high rpm power.... they're all about low rpm torque.... Electric motors have 100% of max torque at 0 RPM. It only goes down as RPM increases. At 6000 rpm, I doubt the IMA is contributing much at all. In conclusion, heading uphill, you're most likely relying completely on a 1.3 litre torqueless wonder to get you up the hill.

Generation Y is more in reference to that generation's tendency to question everything. It's actually supposed to be Generation Why?

I've heard nothing but good things about their reliability.... the boxer engines are supposed to be superb.

I'm not really paying homage.... I just know a hot guy when I see one. This guy is waay hotter then Jake... but not as well known.

dabblin in those water colors Sly?

Would you believe I haven't seen Brokeback... and don't really care to?

To put that in perspective. A 1997 Regal LS does 0-60 in 7.8 seconds... and gets 30mpg highway EPA...higher than that real world.... with a 4-speed. Oh wait .. *sips Kool-Aid* Pushrods are teh SUXORS!

eh eh Fly, 2 door sedan. :AH-HA_wink:

So what I think we need now is someone to chop a CTS into an Olds version.

I'm thinking they're saving the granite trim for the Flintstone edition.

None ever... and the most I have to drink is something with dinner.

There isn't enough land in the US for ethanol if you only base the ethanol production on corn. Sugar, switch grass, potatoes and hops.... another matter entirely.

Oil changes cost more then your standard car because they take more then 5 quarts of oil. Other then that, just the usual headaches associated with any overly gizmoed car.

I saw this thing grazing few blocks from my house. It's a '71.

I have the solution to all your women problems..... but... uh... I don't think you're interested.

Sing it with me kids, it's better to go for the worst gas users rather then the best. GM has the right approach on this one. Starting with buses and then full size trucks. Then down to medium size SUVs and then sedans..... Do the math: 12,000 miles a year If you take two vehicles, one that gets 15mpg and one that gets 30mpg. Apply a hybrid to them that nets to a 20% efficiency gain in mpg. The car that gets 30mpg now gets 36mpg. The hybrid version saves 66.6 gallons of gas over the course of 12,000 miles. The car that gets 15mpg now gets 18mpg. The hybrid version saves 133 gallons of gas over the course of 12,000 miles.

One doesn't need data. The car rags already prove that.

how much was the shipping and handling?

Any Grand Am EVAR! Preferably one that sound like it's last oil change was when Regean was in office.
