Um, definitely prefer that funky Citroen MPV-Thing, the SportLounge or whatever.

How true!

Sorry. I just would prefer a more attractive design over more squoshy materials. I mean, it's sort of like having an ugly person that is beautiful within versus a more attractive face with less of a personality. For something costing as much as an automobile, I would prefer a pretty face with a decent personality over a marvelous personality combined with ugliness.

Last night, I was over looking around at the Cadillac/Chevrolet dealership in Coldwater, and there was a used Seville SLS next to a used STS V6. It is just unbelieveable how far GM's interiors have come in just one generation of its products. Those who haven't compared the then and nows obviously need to take this little factor into consideration. However, I would prefer real aluminum trim in the top level STS's over the real would. The metal looks more modern (to me, at least). Might have done a poll, but don't know how yet, or didn't notice. So, what do you think? Seville Interior STS Interior

I can't wait to see the Sky in the metal, out on the road. I have seen more than one Solstice out and about.

I miss the digital display at the top of the dash as well. I also am an American that enjoys the appearance of Opel's Vectra (and more so the Astra) despite the possibility or ergonomic shortcomings. Certain European vehicles have interiors that are quite unnerving. Finally, these ridiculous PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF lights are driving me nuts. It's probably going to endup encouraging drivers to ignore important alerts concerning items like oil, coolant, even fuel, or tire pressure. I believe that there shouldn't be a lamp concerning the passenger side airbag at all. You know it's there. You should also know that the newest vehicles are able to turn it off below a certain weight threshold on the seat.

Happened to me today.

I like it all except the taillamps and that peculiar trunk hump. Yuck.

Whoa, it's been a while. Sorry about the "bloody" part. I just feel strongly about it. With better transmissions, different gearing, and what-not, I'm sure that the 3.5L engine could more swiftly motivate the G6 off the line.

I would like for there to be a coupe version as well, but make it a hatch!

I would absolutely love to have the Astra GTC brought to the U.S. as-is. I prefer the stock appearance over this tunerized version, but it looks good nonetheless. If it's brought over as Saturn, the interior would probably change a bit. Hmm, I wonder if it would be possible to import the Opel fascias?

Thank you! Being an artist, I strive to develop my creativity. However, as an artist, I also tend to be a little crazy. On the bi-sexual topic being "grey" versus the black and white of straight and homosexual, I got myself into trouble once (as in being teased) because I said something about feeling grey because I had conflicting opinions about a particular topic that day in class. My friends still bother me about it. They went on and on about how nothing is grey, and I countered that with an overcast sky. Like today. It's very grey out. And, by the way, my cookies turned out excellently. A bit crisp for my preferences, but delicious nonetheless.

Uh-oh. Did I commit a lingual crime? Lol. As I'm sure everyone is learning, I'm not most people. Hehe.

You KNOW what my other observation is- it's something that I have.

Cool man. I'm 19 and still a virgin, and I've only kissed one girl (closed mouth). So, I have a looong way to go.

Indeed, the "colonies" comment bit at me some. Wow, the British seem to be, umm, polite idiots. Disgusting overall.

Finally got it. At first I didn't undetstand. The first thing that came to my mind was that the cover looks like it would be for a longitudally mounted engine, not a transverse one, but that didn't explain the amusement. My gutter-mind picked it up, if that is what it's supposed to be.

That's why it takes balls to speak and sing like you haven't any!

I can admit to when others are decent looking regardless of sex. And I definitely can tell when they seem a little more frightful than usual. It's just not something that one can say without being painted into something else.

I don't have any help for you, but oh my God! Doesn't that look like the symbol on the 3900 V6 in the G6 GTP and Malibu SS models? May not be exact, but I thought it was similar.

Women. You know, it's that second X chromosome that makes them totally irrational. (Sorry, it's a little joke of mine) Wow. Sounds like you and others should stay very far away from her.

One thing to keep in mind is that your perception of what homosexuals are like is inaccurate, because for the majority of the time, you cannot differentiate between a heterosexual and a straight-acting homosexual. Thus your exposure to gays is limited to only the extremely vocal, open, and feminine males that do stand out. There are millions of homosexuals in the world, but you allow only a minority of them (the "gay-acting" ones that catch your attention) to mold your opinion of homosexuality. Not that there's anything wrong with "acting gay" if it's natural, of course. [post="71896"][/post] [/quote] (Sorry to seem dense.) I do acknowledge that not all homosexuals behave in the stereotyped way. My friend that I spoke of earlier (C.H), you know, I would swear that he is straight. I really would. Only getting to know him as a friend and being around him would I have thought otherwise. Not that there's anything wrong with "acting gay" if it's natural, of course. Well, I guess this technically applies to me in the sense of the way my speech patterns sound. This, combined with my above average intelligence (even if it is useless stuff like geology, meteorology, horticulture, culinary things. etc) and love of flowers (especially roses) and cooking related exercises (I made oatmeal cookies tonight completely from hand- no raisins though, yuck) does usually taint the perception of what I am. I technically seem very feminine. Notably over the phone. It's like my voice hasn't gotten the memo that the rest of me has gone through puberty. I only sound like a guy when I have a bad head/chest cold, and in the mornings with the illness at that! And, I totally agree about disliking the girlie-super-ditz woman. One of my friends (and former co-worker), Heather, isn't super-girlie, but she is quite the dits. I have a notebook filled with the funny things she says. Examples: 1.) "Oh, god! Why does it taste so bad?! It's awful!" -This came after I convinced her that deep-fried red tomato slices were delicious- they aren't. 2.) "I think my whispers are turning into screams!" -This came when I asked her if she felt ok, and "whispers" is my term for intestinal I-have-to-crap-now cramps. 3.) "Well, I put the lasagne in for 30 minutes even though the box said 15 because I thought it was wrong." -Pretty self-explanatory. 4.) "Why don't we cram the buns in anyway?" -The bun toaster broke. It was hot, but not cycling through, and Heather suggested we smush the buns through an electric device with a metal knife. (These are much funnier to say in the "Heather Voice", which I can imitate in all but sound).

I really don't understand either why some feel they need to flaunt their orientation. However, as long as it does not directly affect/effect me, I don't care. Hey, I don't understand something. Where the hell did the lisp thing come from anyway? Why is it always associated with a gay man? Why am I cursed to have it? (I blame having braces and other mouth work done, I think it messed up my speech patterns) I really don't see the problem with this thread either. It's just a discussion. If people feel threatened by it, or if it gives them some moral dillema, here's an idea for them: DON'T READ IT!!!. It's really not that hard. It reminds me in a way of saying "Merry Christmas." I will say it, I do say it, and there's nothing that any of those censoring idiots out there can do about it. Just because I say "Merry Christmas" doesn't mean I am forcing the person I say it to to become a Christian. Just like if someone from another religion wished me their holiday sentiments, I would just gratefully accept it and move on. Geesh, what happened to America? My rant about this sort of issue extends to obese (fat) people applying for handicapped plates/stickers. Umm, excuse me, but they shouldn't be parking closer, they should be parking farther away and walking to help reduce that girth. And for a reminder, just because this is how I feel, it is not in any way, shape, or form forcing or causing anyone else to do so as well. Thank you. This has been a statement from the mind of Steven M. Myers

Arby's? Where did that come from? Lol. I used to work at the Arby's in Coldwater, but I quit recently because my fellow crew supervisor was, well, to put it mildly, a bitch. Roast beef and cheese? Which one? The Beef n' Cheddar on the onion bun with 3 oz of beef, the cheese, and red ranch sauce? The Arby's Melt on the sesame seed bun with 2 oz of beef, and cheese? A regular (sesame seed bun, 3 oz of beef) with cheese added?

Yes, that bump shift. It was obvious in both my `93 LeBaron with the 3.0L Mitsubishi V6 and in my currnet `96 Breeze with the 2.0L I-4. I did have the opportunity to drive an `05 Caravan with the 2.4L I-4. No bumping downshift when coming to a stop. It is indeed much improved, but I feel it could still possibly be more efficient.
