  1. I'm assuming she mean A-surfaces (appearance), mainly sheet metal, but plastic too. Call me cynical, but I have a hard time buying this. Not because it isn't possible that Honda is scared of GM's new product. But that a Honda exec would actually tell somebody, especially an American reporter, or that the first we'd here about it is through a friend of a GM worker who had it forwarded to him from Execs who were told by the reporter, and not through the reporter's website itself. If its true, great, but until there is some kind of verification, meh.
  2. I don't know if it'll look fine to me. but a ton of boy racer's will love this look.
  3. Somebody shoulda have entered the idea that as posted here a year or two ago with the Cobalt & Corvette "playing", then backing down when they see that big brother (Camaro) is back in town
  4. oh. we won't be. we pretty much know its a forgone conclusion the Impy, Buick and G8 would be going to shwa seing as its been pretty widely reported the Impala, G8, Lucerne and DTS would be staying there.

  6. where's the F-150 and Ram?

    DCX's theory, both in general but especially with Jeep it seems, its to throw a bunch of product out there, and see what catches on. Sure there are some gems, but they are getting increasingly hard to find among the piles of $h!. Which, btw, is also obscuring Jeep's brand image as an offroad capable vehicle. personally, there is a lot of product that I think is good that I would seriously consider, the Nitro, Dakota, LX's for instance
  8. hmm, wonder if this could hurt them in the end. get even more people on the road, increasing demand for gas, prices go up, people can't afford such nice cars because of the extra money they spend on gas, so they start buying cheaper cars.
  9. CR isn't the only one possibly guilty of intentional sensationalism it seems. I haven't seen any evidence that CR lied by intentionally publishing this report knowing the data was false.
  10. lighten up dude, it was just a joke and just to let you know, my family is french canadian so I'm not about to make fun of them
  11. 8.2L? what is that, a modified 8.1 Vortec?
  12. bout f@#kin time something good came outta Quebec...they still owe us big for giving us Celine Dion
  13. http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/06/23/for...model-possible/ Well Mr. Shelby, GM has dreamed. The ball in your court.
  14. maybe its just me, but being the number one car maker isn't that big of a deal in my eyes. I'd rather see GM turning a good profit and have a good rep. That being said, if Toyota keeps recalling cars like they are, and GM can keep building their quality, combined with GM keeping up the sales growth in the middle east and Asia, they will be back at number 1 in a few years.
  15. cheating, WTF is that? if he so into "fair play", ask him if slapping 2 extra cylinders on is "fair play". if he wants to get into the numbers game, tell him that the hp/L for the Z06 and SRT10 are virtually identical (72.3 vs 72.2). don't forget to through in that power's great and all, but only if you can effectively get it from the engine into the pavement. which the Z06 can so so much better than the viper
  16. lutz's old toy vs lutz's new toy. I luv lutz.
  17. like the d-seg is for all intents and purposes a scaled up c-seg, this chassis could be a scaled up version of d-seg.
  18. unless things have changed since I heard that the pacifica specific chassis was canceled, the truck itself was just on hold. It quite possible the d-seg crossover they mentioned is the next gen Pacifica.
  19. http://www6.autonet.ca/News/story.cfm?stor...3394535-ap.html So sales are down 80k units, but 75k are from planned diminished fleet sales. excluding that, sales are only down 0.05%, so essentially, sales stayed steady.
  20. in reference to competition to the blue oval GT, the blue devil name is obsolete now. Stingray or ZR-1 would be cool. Hope it comes out soon though.
  21. now i see why they postponed/canceled the Pacifica chassis, cause they are going with the D-seg chassis instead.

    Pictures!

    wine funnel on a trip to Hungary...mmmm
  23. for a month, you should be fine. from experience of winterizing my motorcycle for a couple of months each year -unhook battery and leave on battery tender or trickle charger plugged into timer -put fuel stabilizer in the gas tank and run it through the fuel system -put wood under tires to insulate them from the cold concrete -change the oil & filter so acids in oil don't damage engine components
  24. wasn't it lutz who spearheaded the arts & science direction of cadillac and the creation of Solstice? Those are to pretty defining initiatives that has helped in GM's turnaround aren't they?
