I find this post offensive and deplorable. <_< :P

Ok, so you meant nothing? Glad we're clear on that. Nonsensical posts get nonsensical replies. You didn't say anything or prove any kind of point. You threw out a slew of general statements about roads and karma. Why don't you EXPLAIN what you meant?

You really see the "Big Envoy" look in that picture of the silver Yukon. Those pictures make it look a LOT better than the initially released ones. And that interior is just AMAZING! Also, I really liked the blacked-out taillights on the Denali. Nice touch, GM!

Why don't you make a post that means something every now and then? You know, instead of throwing around hyperboles.

When our grandfathers worked at GM, Ford and Dodge, the companies were raking in millions a year, they own 90% of America. Well guess what, its not 1953 anymore. :rolleyes:

When I had my Grand Am (separate ignition and door key) I always kept a spare door key in my wallet. With my Cavalier, though, I keep a spare in my apartment and my wife also has a spare.

You've sat in a new Civic, yes? Design is subjective.

CARBIZ, Its not about looking at the car and judging it by its own merits. Its about the car compared to the competition. I don't think it says a lot about a car if the only reason its a good car is because its cheap.

:lol:

If you care to go back and read (or reread, in case you missed it the first time) what I wrote, you'll see that I specifically referred to cars prior to the 2005 model year. Thanks for listening. B)

Wow...look what I started! I hope no one is mad or offended, I certainly meant no offense. I was just ranting.

Well, I'm not a transformer or a ninja turtle...so I'll have to go with no. :P

I've always thought the public intoxication law was dumb. So a drunk dude is stumbling down the sidewalk...whose he hurting, exactly? I also think marijuana should be legalized. Its far less deadly than the two most LEGAL drugs on the market, alcohol and nicotine.

Auto extremist has been on a downward spiral as of late. I think he's got a bit chrome H up his ass.

Down this morning, 2.73-2.77.

Reliability is objective: car breaks/costs money to fix) Interiors are completely subjective, and thusly it's only "years behind" based on individual opinion, not facts. Some will prefer one over the other, simple as that. [post="24165"][/post] There's nothing subjective about the glaring differences in the Malibu and Accord.

This rant wasn't directed at any one person, but a small group of roaming GM fanboys on this website. First, please notice that I didn't say anything about trucks or SUVs in my post. The entire rant had to do with GM CARS, not trucks and SUVS. Second, yeah...so the C5 was an outstanding sports car, lots of bang for your buck. Its ALWAYS been an exception to the GM rule, though its only recently gotten an interior worthy of a $50k car. You'll excuse me for omitting it. Yes, the media is biased, I didn't say anything to the contrary. And yes, its unprofessional. But honestly, I would have a hard time being optimistic about new GM vehicles after so many years of "Its different this time," not being very different. How can you sit inside a 98 Accord and a 98 Malibu and tell me that the Chevy is more worthy of your purchase? Its not. It may be just as reliable mechanically, but inside its years behind the Accord. And the same thing goes for the current Malibu vs the current Accord.

Its like a melted Escalade...for better or worse. It just doesn't look right for some reason...something's off about it and I can't figure out what. But hell, if the interior manages to be better than the Tahoe's, the odd front end won't matter.

Why the hell DID gas shoot up 20 cents last week? It was down to 2.6x at stations around town, then for some reason last Wednesday it shoots back back up to 2.8x?! Its gone down a couple cents since then, but still 2.79-2.85 depending on what part of town you're in.

Ok, I know this is a GM fansite and all, but there's one thing we really need to stop. Defending GM cars JUST because they are GM's cars. I've been watching this for a while now, and use to do it myself. But after being inside of my 2001 Crapalier, I've come to a new understanding of what being a GM fan is, and now I'm going to spell it out. You CANNOT pretend that GM cars made before the 2005 MY are as good or better than their foreign counterparts. The 2004 Malibu is a POS compared to the 2004 Accord, a vehicle that was in production for, what? 2 years? Yeah. You CANNOT continue to pretend that GMs marketshare hemorrhage for the past 30 years has been due to the media and American publics hatred of Detroit steel. No, its because for 30 years, GM has built cars that weren't worth their weight in sheetmetal. Why is it that the interior in a $45k luxury sedan is put to shame by interiors in cars half its price? You can yell at publications all you want for bias and prejudice. Its unprofessional and shouldn't matter. BUT, can you really blame them? I can't. As GM fans, its no wonder we're so excited about the upcoming products. No one has ever seen a Chevrolet like the Impala, Tahoe, Cobalt, or HHR when it comes to interior refinement. Buick owners will be shell-shocked by the difference in their 2005 Lesabre and a 2006 Lucerne. And look at the media hurrah these new products are getting! People love the new Impala and HHR. Why? Because for the first time in 20 years, GM has put effort into its new cars and its showing. /rant *prepares to get yelled at*

As much as I hate to admit it, the interior of the STS is NOTHING compared to that of the GS. The design in the GS is better, the materials look better, there is less plastic filled space in the GS, the gauges look WORLDS better. The interior of the STS doesn't compare to that of an Acura TL in observable quality and design, either. The interior in the god damn Sky and Aura look better than the interiors in $30k and $40k LUXURY sedans. The STS was set in stone before the new GM came to pass. The difference in a 2005 STS and a 2007 Tahoe interior is so amazing, if I were GM I'd be ashamed to sell the STS for a higher price. The difference in a current Escalade and the upcoming 2007 model and current competitor's luxury utes is freaking SHAMEFUL. You can brag about GMs powertrains, their reliability, their looks, and their upcoming models. But please, don't try and gloss over the fact that the STS interior looks worse than interiors in cars half its price. Hopefully that'll shut everyone up.

Its actually a pretty even mix here in LEX, Ky.

How old is that dealership? They need to build a new showroom/office building.

Ooh, I LOVE those!

I'm married, I don't wear cologne anymore. :P
