My bad. The review stated it was mechanically identical to Equinox and Torrent and praised all three of them for being on Theta.

Grand Vitara is mechanically identical to Equinox or Torrent. So help.

Here's a 1984 promo pic:

TMI BV :o :o :o And check out my edited post to correct my little type you gloated over!

So what were those differences between avian flu and AIDS? Granted one is an STD, but other than that there were a lot of similarities you listed...high rate of mutation...lack of effective treatments...etc AIDS is one tough virus. Technically, a retrovirus, and not because it was big in the 80s. Something to do with the way it replicates...from RNA to DNA I think not sure...For all the talk of how easy it is to contain it, I suggest you go to Africa sometime.

I'd like my old one back... The Iron Fist ...it fits me so well. Fly did a good job coming up with that one last spring. Heh...BV I think I take the title of King of the Sarcasm...but I'll let you borrow it...if you pay me royalties :lol: Seriously BV...how about "Sargasm"? The best of both worlds...haha yes yes pun definitely intended

Registration is free at LA Times. Neil gave a very favorable review to the new Suzuki Grand Vitara right below it.

Heh that's dumb. No way that'll ever happen.

I see no pics

I have a feeling the Suburban/Yukon XL/ESV will have even better proportions that the SWB models. These are truly the best-looking SUVs on the market.

Getting BACK to the Escalade I agree 100%. Money being no object, it would still be my #1 choice. But as you stutely noted, it doesn't really compete with the Escalade anyway. Both are very choice vehicles. I still can't get over the sheer number of details GM put into the exterior of this SUV. If they paid this much attention to detail across their entire lineup, I might actually like the G6, Cobalt, and all the other cheaped out vehicles. *gasp* maybe even the STS!

That quote wasn't even directed at you. It was directed at the multiple posters who made that blatantly erroneous claim. I didn't even notice if you were one of them or not.

Yea I wasn't big on Clinton during his office, but damn I think he did one hell of a job in hindsight.

9-3 got a real makeover. 9-5.....still needs one.

Ever hear about AIDS??? :blink:

No you're right...you don't scoff at people...you chew them out. And then oftentimes you eat some crow a little later while you're at it.

I didn't personally attack you first. An you didn't quote it...because it didn't happen. You claim my "pompous" and "berating" attitude on this site, well what the hell do you think you do? Reading one of your posts is like listening to a homeless person with Tourette's screaming about whatever the FOG rant of the day is. Have you met your new mommy?. Anyone who disagrees with you gets chewed out over every stupid little insignificant detail. Professionalism? Heh. Funny. That's a good one. Seriously, take it to the PMs if you have anything further to say.

I'm not concerned. If I get it I get it, if not then not. I have no control over it so I'm not going to think about it and worry. Worry is like a rocking chair; it gives you something to do but it doesn't take you anywhere.

The 800 Escalade interior gives me nightmares.

Honestly? I'm not that concerned. With the Delphi situation, GM is poised to get some serious concessions on the next round of UAW contract negotiations.

Sorry, man...but the people who harass me and "testify" and ask me "when I have been saved" (duh...2000 years ago) and tell me that I must be going to hell if I don't subscribe to their exact beliefs...Yea I'm not a fan of pushy, bossy and intolerant Christians, and honestly I have only come across those characteristics in Christians who classify themselves as evangelical. Anyway, I didn't say ALL evangelicals were that way, but the Christians that I have found that way tend to label themselves highly evangelical. I mean this woman, although Catholic, claimed that she was a "spiritual warrior." MULTIPLE TIMES. That sounds pretty evangelical to me. This is a case of "all A is B but not all B is A." Sorry if you felt I was knocking your religion, but that was not my intent. I couldn't care less what you believe just as long as it does not infringe on my right to believe whatever I wish to believe.

Very few Christians are like that woman, only the fanatical and "evangelical" ones. I was raised Catholic, and most of the Catholics I have met as well as the more moderate Protestants (Episcopalians, Methodists, Presbys) aren't psychotic like she was. I hope that one day I can mention Lutherans with the rest of the Protestant sects I mentioned, but the only Lutheran families I have met are exactly like that woman was. And I know I cannot extrapolate based on a small number of families from the same parish. It was entertaining though...how she wanted all the non-Christian crew members out of her house...heh what an intolerant, bigoted b!tch.

But what about the upscale ones? The Chevrolet brand just doesn't have the image to offer credible, upscale versions of its trucks. That's where GMC comes in. Whereas Ford just has the Ford brand to market the F-150 as well as the Lariat, GM has Chevrolet for the Silverado and then GMC for the Sierra. It just fits to have an upscale brand, even if the products are essentially the same. Again, look at Mercury. There just is that something a little special about Mercury that Ford doesn't have. It is just a step up...

It all depends on Nissan's financial situation and their goals...

Heh I don't care...they are solid cars.
