on the off chance you might take it....

Linkity a valuable Patek Philippe watch my grandfather, Harley Earl, owned that's going up for auction on September 27, 2006 at the Downtown Athletic Club, DAC (see web-link directly below). This rare watch has the inscription written on its back how it was a 20th anniversary gift to Designer-Earl from GM Styling, circa 1945.

Because, again, I beat the hell out of my '03 Avalanche and still get between 14 - 15 mpg in city driving. GTM-900 Avalanches get better mileage. The RDX will still need to be wound up to move. Something like the Tahoe has twice the torque at 1/3 the rpm.

This just in, the Cobalt is making money.

Don't forget, the Tahoe has AFM and will have a hybrid out soon as well.

How many people will trade in their Tahoes for RDXes so they can get better gas mileage? How many RDX owners, formerly Tahoe owners will fail at their goal?

Keep in mind that CC doesn't activate until you hit at least 25mph

It's a mish mash of designs. It's likely the GMT-900s and quite possibly even the F-150 have better interiors.

There are different opinions and then there are scratched, skipping CDs. Buickman is the later.

fine, and I'll do the same in an RDX while attempting to tow a 5,000 lbs boat + gear + 3 kids + dog...... in West Virginia....

Time for a NG Aurora

I've never used C&G's user ignore feature. The one in my brain works better.

This is the only tranny we should get from Ford.... leave those up to GM

What's going on in this thread? All I see is:

I'd refuse to do business with any dealer that didn't play by the established rules.

Not everyone lives in NYC, DC, or LA.... I wish these would be made available to more than just urbanites. Yes, I live in Pittsburgh, but other than downtown, it's very suburban.

Ford? DETROIT, Sept. 18 -- Executives from Ford Motor Co. and General Motors have discussed a possible merger or alliance, Automotive News reports in its Monday, Aug. 18, 2006, edition. link

Wow! such a beautiful view.

Have you ever heard of the term "teaching to the test" BV? It is entirely possible for Toyota or Honda to "teach to the test", that is, they set up their cars so they get the best possible number on the EPA test. Of course the problem with this is, the EPA test doesn't come close to reflecting real world driving. This is reflected most dramatically with the Prius EPA score, but other Toyotas and Hondas suffer from it as well. GM, it seems, aims there efficiency more at American's real world driving habits while only regarding the EPA test as secondary as long as they pass it. You see it come up in cars like the Cobalt, Malibu, and even the w-bodies.

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....
