stick a fork in it, this company is done. What do they sell anymore that does any good in the marketplace? There best seller is probably the eclipse and the last one that sold well was 2 generations ago. They took a decent Galant and made it hidious. Not sure why they even bothered with the Raider. This looks so bland... but at least they lost the Oldsmobile rip off styling.

probably the only time I'll agree with you.

Wasn't this already discussed and the reason for the horsepower drop in the G6 'vert is that they increased the low end torque signifigantly?

Wow! I love the front end. Very futuristic, modern, and original. It's got the HF3.6, a 5-speed auto, that interior, and the Suzuki warrenty.... Chevy who??

How about a Ford Explorer hearse.

Hey edmunds! I have been consistantly getting 14 mpg in my Avalanche in city driving and I'm not exactly light on the pedal. What the hell are you guys doing, driving it like you stole it?

What if the government mandated that all V8s, V6s, and I6s sold after a certain date become E85 capable. This would jump start E85 filling station building. It would help start to ween the worst offending gas consumers off petrolium. GM would look great because they're most of the way there. Eventually, the 4 cylinders would follow suit simply because of demand.

But then there are the fairly major things that the Japanese *should* recall, but don't. 1. Toyota's engine sludging 2. Honda's Odessy and TL transmissions breaking.

Real estate appraiser is out doors nearly all the time. 70% of their job is driving to the property and inspecting it, then writing it up once they get back to the office. The real smart ones have a laptop with them and write them up on the spot. I guess I come in at 23. Property Manager, except that I also own all the properties that I manage so that changes the income level

Datsun is Nissan you tard.

How's that for a front overhang? damn that thing is ugly in the front. Cover over that nose and the rest of the car is ok.

Is that the new one or the old one Var?

what he said

They look the same, like no other.

Except that the cost of refined gasoline rises faster then the cost of crude.

Profit is dollar amount Profit margin is the percentage above cost that is counted towards profit

So will your mechanic. Trust me... -Passat owner.

Let's see. Exxon had record profits for any company, ever. GM now has full size SUVs rated at 27mpg highway, that can run on E85 <at lesser economy> , and hybrids on the way. GM has 300hp front drivers that are rated 27mpg hiway. Cobalts routinely get higher then EPA fuel mileage Chrysler is introducing new diesels. ... but Exxon has record profits even when consumption grows at the normal rate.

I thought this title was held by the Corolla, which only replaced the original Beatle a few years ago as #1.

Glad he's my senator. I can't wait to vote out the junior senator from Pennsylvania.

You go from an S-class or X5 to a Cobalt rental? If you're driving either of those high end makes, why aren't you renting something a bit higher class? I can imagine why your vision might be skewed if you get out of your X5 and into a Cobalt. I get out of my CTS and sit in a Cobalt/Civic/Corolla/Sentra and just think to myself "People actually drive these every day?" [/Karen] I'm sure you could say the same about my CTS, but my point still stands. Perception is everything and looking at the compact market through the windshield of an S-Class does distort the vision.

All the Volkwagen VR series engines and W series engines have offset bores. They run fine.

Pontiac - serve indian cuisine.... see if anyone gets it. In western PA <I dunno if they're anywhere else>, we have a chain called Quaker Steak and Lube. They're entirely Quaker State oil themed... and if you've ever wanted to eat under a corvette, you can. They are famous for their buckets of wings

Hopefully this means "Developed by GM, 50% of the bill paid for by Ford" Seriously, automatic transmissions are not Ford's strong suit. Knock GM for lots of things, but the quality of their transmissions* is definately leader of the pack. *When paired with an appropriate engine.... sadly with GM, that doesn't always happen.

It is entirely possible to tune the engine to the test while ignoring the real world mileage.
