The point is, don't use just one type of fuel. Imagine if the US had a mix of petrol/diesel vehicles like Europe does. 40% of the vehicles could use two kinds of fuel <fossil diesel or biodiesel> 60% of the vehicles could use two other kinds of fuel <E85 or gasoline> It would lessen the volitility of the market. It would put a dent in the importance of the mid-east. Choice and variety is never a bad thing. The beauty of flexible fuel vehicles of both the E85 and Biodiesel variety is that you can run any ratio of Biofuel to fossil fuel. As the price of one goes up, you can begin using another.... without having to do anything more then pull up to the next pump!

unfortunately, people are stupid and greedy. They feel they should be able to waste as much gasoline as they want and it should be 79 cents a gallon. The true cost of SUVS is much higher then the purchase price. The damage to the roads and enviroment is substantially greater than a sedan with little to no reflection of that damage translated directly back to the consumer. I say this as an Avalanche driver. I need the truck to run my company, but I'm also very careful to only drive it when I specifically need it. Grocery runs or leisure travel are all done in a much smaller, more efficient car.

That's great! What I find remarkable from my personal observations, 90% of the Lucernes I've seen in the wild seem to be the 6 cylinder version. So much for the 3800 being a hinderance to sales, though I'm sure the 3.6 or 3.9 would only help.

and anyway, the whole point of E85 is that you can switch back to gasoline as needed. Wouldn't it be nice if there were some competition against the price of petrol gas?

Yes and no. While GM has no excuse for the CSVs <though they seem to be selling ok>. There is still the idea that every flippin car out there must out handle the 3-series. "Well this new Lucerne rides ok, but the slolam numbers suck"* "Well this new Aveo does it's job competently, but the 0-60 times suck"* "Pushrods! meh."* *obviously extreme fabricated examples

uhm, but Brazil does it.... edit: and everything you read on the internet is real......

oh, I agree that Biodiesel would be great also.... but there are still lots of dumb people out there that don't like diesels because their "grandmother had a diesel VW Rabbit back in '81 and it always broke down". Just thinking of ways for Calista Flockheart to drive her Escalade on a domestic fuel without requiring her to think.

Sugar Corn Potatoes I think even soy some wood pulp waste product edit: the E85 site just says "vegitables", so it could be many more than my list

Well at least the Aveo will continue to sell well.

holy ! This thing is real!?!?

I'm getting the impression of the last Dodge Colt/Mitsubishi Expo

They're designed by the same company.....

7 views and no one has an opinion?

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?
