yea...we've been meaning to talk to you about that, AAS...

We already know the Sebring is a chick car. But as far as chicky convertibles go, it isn't half bad. First time I was in Cali my mom and I upgraded to the convertible at the rental car place and we drove the 405 from LA to San Diego and back...quite the drive and surprisingly traffic didn't suck too much. Lots of fun...and I got a decent neck tan. -- As for the G6, I don't care about launch problems...I am working under the assumption that yes the vehicle is coming, but that no, they didn't fix the interior at all. The Sebrings always had at least decent interiors.

GM needs to ape this...

Meh...for Dan Neil, this was a pretty tame review. I'm satisfied.

I like the Sebring convertible. It's fun and breezy. If GM hadn't cheaped out on the G6 interior the convertible would be great. As of now, the only good midsized conv. is that of the SAAB 9-3.

The Malibu has dorky taillights. The G6 has cheap taillights. Interiors of both are lacking. I wish they were freshened with good interiors. Then I might feel compelled to like the exteriors more.

Yeah, you're prolly right. The real fight will be at the Isuzu display...

Alero really isn't that impressive of a car, no offense. I'm pleasantly surprised he only complained about the gas. My aunt had an Alero rental, and her family comes from a long line of pro-American drivers. She only requests domestic company cars and currently drives a Grand Marquis. She hated her Alero rental and called it a POS. After riding in it with her I would tend to agree: buzzy engine, rattly cabin and dash, harsh ride, noisy ride.

But now they have the Mariner Hybrid. I've seen a Milan or two near campus...which is one or two more than I was expecting to see in 2005.

Sounds like Christmas came a few weeks early for Josh!! Seriously man I want a full review. Stat. ^_^

cool.

Any dealer could make the swap for you if you wanted them to. The prospect of a $30,000 sale or no sale would prolly let you get it for free if not a very minimal fee.

Heavens no! Why on earth would we do that? What a silly thought...

Good! BRING ON THE SNARK! If anyone even remotely expects me to gush over much of anything he will be sorely mistaken...I am incredibly nit-picky at car shows.

watch it or I'll make it HOURS...i jest but there prolly will be a line outside of the Mariner Hybrid and Milan.

Yea, some have a cancel function if they are not desired. I do not know if the SSR has that feature or not, but I have seen SSRs without illuminated DRLs.

Nah it isn't a dig at you...though it is a slight dig at someone else. I am warning you though...prepare to spend some time in the Mercury section. I'm gonna be a little b!tch about that just fyi. After doing the marketing research for my paper on Mercury...I want to do some "field research" of my own...those new Mercury vehicles are great, and if it's true the Milan might be getting a Hybrid version in a year or so I might have to consider it, or a Mariner Hybrid, as a car...

I like the Stratus coupes. The sedans suck though...

That sounds like so much work, though. I like the forgoing of eating chocolate better. And who needs diamond rings? The plastic ones for a quarter look the same in low lighting situations.

But Belgium doesn't have any automakers headquartered there. Mexico doesn't have an industry, though it has a few plants located there because the profits from those plants go out to other countries. There are no Mexican auto corporations just like there are no Belgian auto corporations.

Seriously CSpec...congrats. It's a lot of fun, but a lot of work as well. You'll do well, I have faith.

No problem there. Chocolate is food, and food is for weak people. You should be anorexic or everything about you is ugly.

Why not go into a dealership and ask? They would know, and they would also know where to get the "aftermarket" versions too.

SSR doesn't have permanently illuminated DRLs.

I agree with him that the supercharger needs to come sooner rather than later...ditto with a power top. Most people would gladly shell out for both.
