Drove the new CR-V
I drove a 'Nox recently. The engine *sounded* like your typical GM V6 when you started it up <note I didn't say pushrod, the DOHC 3.4 sounds the same as the pushrod>, but once you step on it, the 'Nox really moves and sounds decent. I got to 60 much faster than I expected. Would it out run that RAV-4? probably not. But the 'Nox will pass the RAV-4 while it's stopping for gas.... again.

Time to bash GERMAN cars
My main bitch about VWs *other than their frequent shop visits* is the way the dealership treats you when the car is there for service. We've tried the 3 major VW dealers in the area and experienced similar rudness. Chas tries to schedule work on the Passat on days he is planning on visiting his parents an hour north of us.

GM's XM Satellite Radio Option Now $199
One thing XM has that Sirius does not is XM traffic Navigation. The integration of real time traffic updates into your nav system is just one step closer to the integrated internet enabled car.

LS460 spec'd
The CTS-V and Solstice are more my style.... that's why I'd trade an LS for them. I'd trade a 70k DTS for them too. The only cars in this class that interest me are the XJ for it's exterior and the Pheaton for it's interior.

Bush on a Harley!
Tsk... a blue sock with a gray suit and a slip on loafer. Apparently Laura wasn't there to dress him.

LS460 spec'd
If someone gave me this, I'd trade it in on a CTS-V and Pontiac Solstice.... and only have to pay the tax.

Drove the new CR-V
.... ok? but that doesn't mean he was wrong. it is perfectly feasible... and likely... that the scenario he described will play out many times in relation to this car. my only issue is the loaded jetta..... she would have bought a loaded 4-cylinder automatic jetta... not the VR6..... because it's thrifty

If the Envoy has the 5.3... I'm sure it can easily be converted. I doubt he has though.
