I say again, how much longer can the Cobalt be considered a "Launch vehicle"?

and back on topic.... oy! that's gotta hurt!

why do we never see your nit-picks of the foreign makes then?

I've been in one... and I'd still choose the Pheaton or XJ.

Dodge Magnum Hemi with AWD

With gas prices the way they are, can't people buy a 4-cylinder anymore?

kinky

Satty's fusion is red.

well... it *can* trace it's roots back to the Saab 9-3

Gooooo Raider!

Meeee too.... oh wait, that's not what you ment

Awsome! Throw one in a CTS. I'll take lower HP for higher economy though. Make the performance equal to the current CTS with MPG in the 60-70 range.... prius who?

he's pissed that the warrenty didn't cover something.... it's not really a lemon issue, it's a warrenty issue.

is that any better and is the net result any different?

Any vehicle that is driven 100,000 miles in less than 2 years is going to have some issues. This guy must live in this truck!

50% of Five hundreds are still sitting on the lots.

Great engineering went into that second gear and sixth gear? or does execution stand for "plastic that falls on the gas pedal and holds it down"? Maybe it means "steering wheel that falls off while driving" or "baby ejector seat"

just did a Pittsburgh to Lancaster and back run last weekend.... 28.5 mpg average @ 75mph cruise, 65mph cruise between Allegheny tunnel and Blue Mountain tunnel <the most mountainous section>.

again, that is more a function of the dated and ill-sized W-body.

And they're trying to hit what number with the NG Zeta Impala alone?

n00dz?

American Idol is *clearly* the best T.V. show </sarcasm> I'm curious What are the totals? Camry + Solara + ES = Impala + Monte Carlo + LaCrosse + GrandPrix = Taurus + Sable = Five Hundred + Montego = With the W-bodies spread across 3 divisions and 4 cars, <4 Divisions and 6 cars in the past> what essentially happened was a Impala Base, Impala Solara, Impala ES, Impala SE. So yeah, divisionally, the Camry beats the Impala, but that ignores the rest of the cars out there.

Because that is Cadillac and Saturn's job. Chevy and Buick are American tuned Saturn and Cadillac are Euro tuned and I don't know WTF is up with Pontiac....Australian tuned maybe?

I've tried...

Buick should compete with the IS and G because it's similarly priced? What nonsense! The Mini-Cooper and Crown Victoria share lower and upper price points... they're natural competitors then! Buicks are big and comfortable. They have a lot of go-power when you need it, but otherwise are for relaxed cruising with minimal audible intrusions. Your grandfather would be wise to trade his STS in on a Lucerne. Why should Buick not get a down graded Sigma? Because there isn't much room under the CTS for it to go. The size of it would dictate that it would be the entry level Buick, probably replacing the Lacrosse. People would bitch and moan if you put anything other than the 3.6 under the hood. Then load it up with nav, xm radio, leather. Enthusiasts would want supportive <read: hard> seats, console shift, sport suspension. Talk would swirl of a "Skylark Super" edition with a specially tuned 6.0 litre V8 with a 6-speed manual..... and.... oh &#036;h&#33;... it's the CTS! Let Buick be Buick. As far as the ride, the Lucerne CXS has it about right...for a Buick. As for looks, I think the Lucerne looks great especially in black.
