Hey, the new Cobalt has 5-bolt wheels
true, I see a G6 once a week or so with the 17inch or 18 inch chrome wheels looking like it absolutely hit a curb, or the like, it's scraped on one spoke about 3-4 inches arcoss the whole spoke.

Polution/Emission/ MPG etc Calculators
those are huge jumps from 2.x to the 3.x range... that's ridiculous... unless diesels start to take over. for my car, only on displacement, on average, that's 7 tanks of gas / year and that's close to 1/2 my gas per year, based on my previous use. of ~12g / 3 to 4 weeks how would this money be used? it wouldn't push people with trucks into smaller ones. it would hinder people on a budget trying to get into a "better car" I just have to shake my head at this type of stuff.

Science magazine declares ethanol worse for the Earth than fossil fuels
in 2080P and 7.1 surround... all in a VR helmet. corn efficiency is somewhere between ~.7x and ~2x from farm to exhaust, depending on scientist... around here a gallon is something like 2.30. get us fission plants for electric cars for those than want one.

HAVE HAD IT UP TO MY @$$
getting 5-6speeds in smaller cars should be high on the schedule too,at least for the "LTZ" models (like the 'bu, soon), cause everyone knows "SS's" should be manuals. having a 5 or 6 speed across the board for the NG 'balt would be great. the H2 moved to the 6.2L 6speed combo this year. having the CAFE reward/penalty system is a hindrance

Mahrindra Appalachian coming to US in '09, diesel hybrid in '10.
very close with what we have to work with. i'm guessing it's ranger sized...? it could sell well, if it has a good warrantee / dealer base. look at where the Koreans came from...

Bro's Poll: What Pontiac Vehicle(s) Should Be Discontinued/Replaced?
voted g5. just a 2.4L cobalt.. nothing special, not even a GXP model available the torrent is getting "moved" to GMC the g6 will be getting revamped for, '10 or 11... we don't know excatly how good EPII will be yet grand prix is ended already, right? and while we gripe about the vibe.. it'll prolly sell well, at least. the solstice and G8 is more what pontiac needs.. maybe not style wise, but basic idea.
