I'd take a Fortwo in a jam-up of SUVs before I'd take a non-SV6 Montana. From what I've seen of the crash results, you'd fare better.

Peugeot and Citroen were added for contrast - to show where Renault stands in their home French market, so we can see what kind of company they are by comparison. This is as much as I found with my research. If anyone knows anything about Dacia (maybe you?) feel free to add extra info in here.

Anyone who wants to add anything to this is welcome to.

Peugeot Say Poo-Jo, with the Jo sounding like the first syllable in Jolie, not like "Joe". Notable: Won WRC championship, 2000-2002. Current Lineup: 107, city car: 207, supermini: 307, small family car: 407, large family car: 607, executive car: 1007, mini MPV: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/d/d6/Peugeot-1007-RC- 807, large MPV (same as Citroen C8): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image%3a%50eugeot-807-GT- 4007, SUV:

Espace, large MPV: Peugeot-Citroën alliance (PSA) Citroën Say Sit-Roy-Yen. The logo refers to Citroën's early work the "herringbone" or double helical gear. (Can somebody explain this please?) Notable: Won WRC championship, 2003-2005. Built first truly affordable car for France after WWII. Essenially France's equivalent of the Beetle, the Citroën 2CV was extremely simple but produced from 1945 until 1990, selling more than 9 million units worldwide. Not exactly glamourous to look at, even compared to the Beetle: They built the first FWD car back in 1934. Current Lineup: C1, city car: C2, supermini: C3, supermini: C4, small family car: C5, large family car: C6, executive car: C8, large MPV:

Thought this needed to be written after the Nissan-Renault deal possibility arose. Here is what I could gather. Renault Say Ray-no or Reh-no. Originally introduced to the US as Ren-alt, but this is not really the right pronunciation. Notable: Debuting a solo manufacturer F1 team in 2002, they took 4th their first and second years. A move up to third in 2004 readied everyone for their takeover of first place from Ferrari in 2005. They are currently leading the 2006 standings with 121 points to Ferrari's 87. Patented the first turbocharger back in 1899. Current Lineup: Twingo, city car: Clio, supermini: Mégane, small family car: Laguna, large family car: Vel Satis, executive car: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5f/Renault-Vel-Satis- Kangoo, mini MPV (being DC'ed): Modus, mini MPV (replacement): Scénic, compact MPV: Continued in next post...

I still think it's a great idea as a second car. If you drive more than 20 miles to work, you don't want to take the van/SUV/wagon all the time... so what's wrong with having a Tahoe and a Fortwo??

Otherwise we may never know who the dominant dog is. If people want to fight they'll find a way. I say let 'em fight. BV knows how I feel. I feel no need to "fight" with any of them. Yet I still feel it was wrong to lock that thread. Nothing inappropriate was said... Besides, I wanted to add a nice visual to Nick's "e-kick in the nuts"

Yeah, they pulled the bumpers. probably hung down too far. Nevertheless, he still deserves a good old:

My response here requires some interaction from you, BV. 1. Raise your right hand. 2. Turn your head to the left. 3. Give yourself a good slap across the face. 4. Try not to like it. I don't blame you for the deer thing, but way to scare everyone. Ass.

If I had to see anyone buy out GM (I realize this is not what' happening here), I would like it to be Renault-Nissan.

IMO, the SS Supercharged should be the only SS Cobalt. The base SS should be something else, like RS.

Congrats. Seems like a good buy to me.

She certainly does like dropping things.

Excellent. They also need some question on the cirumference and diameter of breasts. Preferably with diagrams.

"Yeah Bob, I got a big surprise for you man. Just lay on the ground, open your mouth and close your eyes!" I think at that point he deserves it

Actually, those guys are Korean - and, is that a Matrix ad behind them? He's the new Oracle! I knew it!

If he's 5.8 inches from the shoulder blades around to the tip, he's what, 9 inches TALL? I wanna see a midget that small, it would be cute

Yep. The employee discount sold me my Cobalt (in August, mind you).

I'm going to Hot August Nights. The 24 mountain bike race that is.

Probably "The Scientist". It's one of the songs I do at karaoke that seems to impress people. Lyrics: I had to find you, Tell you I need you, Tell you I set you apart Tell me your secrets, And ask me your questions, Aww let’s go back to the start Runnin’ in circles, [sounds like] Comin’ our tails, Heads on the science apart Nobody said it was easy It’s such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be this hard Aww take me back to the start I was just guessin’, At numbers and figures, Pullin’ the puzzles apart Questions of science, Science and progress, Do not speak as loud as my heart Tell me you love me, Come back to haunt me, Oh when I rush to the start Runnin’ in circles, [sounds like] Chasin’ our tails, Comin’ back as we are Nobody said it was easy Aww It’s such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be so hard I’m goin’ back to the start Ahhooooooooooooooooo Ahhooooooooooooooooo Ahhooooooooooooooooo Ahhooooooooooooooooo

Listening to Death From Above 1979 on my Pioneer system in the Cobalt probably has given me brain damage. People in other cars sometimes look around to see where the sound is coming from, it's pretty funny. Sometimes it's hard to see in the rear view because it vibrates so much.

Yep. These ones are so big they make a luxury car look small:

Exactly. I'm still a proud Canadian even though our current Prime Minister is Conservative.
