STUPID STUPID STUPID Due to two kids in College, I have put on hold buying any other vehicle, but I really love the XLR and was hoping in two years once they are out of college to get one for my wife and I. GM will never get back to the standard of the world with doing idiot mgmt decisions. The XLR could be so much more and easily beat the SL from Mercedes. They truly have missed the boat about trying to keep every product line going when in the last 8 years they should have eaten the cost of closing down Pontiac, Buick & Saturn and focused on selling Chevy as an entry level, GMC as the upgraded mid lux level and Cadillac as the top of the world. They could have so eaten everyone lunch if they just changed and stopped moving at a glacial pace. I will miss the XLR and hope I can find a new one next year if I can make it work for the budget. Sad

Who cares that they are not Number one in sales, this just gives them more room to deal with growing sales. The whole I am number one is so over blown.

:rotflmao: I actually think all those auto's are reworked old versions from the 70's to 90's. i am not impressed by any of them. The Flex and Fusion are just sad, the MKS does have some potential, but still Ford cheapened up the interior. Then they do make a vehicle for everyone. :sign0200: Enjoy your Plastic.

Nice looking Car, but probably too small to fit me.

I must be missing the Koolaid bowl your drinking out of DodgeFan, I spent the last 3 days looking over the complete 2009 lineup of trucks, SUV's and Cars before Jerome decided to go with the heavy discounted 2008 Expedition EL. He could see very little differance and so could I between the 08 and 09 models. They all have hard plastic dashes, yes they all seem to get the Microsoft Sync which is cool, but except for techno nurds, you can not tell me that Ford has superior interiors than GM. They Suck. Worst yet is I was SO DISAPPOINTED in the Ford Mustang. Poor Quality all the way around, rusty parts on the cars. If this is their version of world class quality, then they need to make some major changes.

Change!

This is SO BIZARR, I just helped a 77 year old man who my wife works for replace his 1997 Expedition with a 2008 Expedition EL. Over all much better vehicle than the old version, but the one thing I noticed for a 40,000+ SUV is all the hard poor quality plastic. So many people Bash GM about the plastic interiors and yet FORD does it on their new auto's still. here they put a little wood on the steering wheel and fake wood on the dash over the Nav and yet everywhere else is a plastic hardness. Even the Vents are the same as they put in the Escort and new Taurus. The old man is happy with his new ride, but I have to say, FORD has a long way to go to have Trucks and SUV's that compete with GM. The only thing I will Bash GM on is that I did like the 3rd row electronic fold flat seats. That is way better than taking out the third seat in GM's vehicles. I do realize that that would have caused GM to change the rear wheel setup.

We still have to many brands in this global depression. Time for the weak to go, Chrysler needs to become history just like SAAB needs to go. Reality, I could see Fiat taking over and using this to have a quick build up of Fiat dealerships and get a Fiat Large truck line for minimal cost.

Personally SAAB is a brand that should have never been bought, it should have just died and become a part of history. There are still to many name plates / Brands in the world and with the economy going the way it is. It would be best to just take it off life support and let it go.

WOW, Some things are mind blowing Wonder what medical research group got his mind?

Sorry Guy's, I actually like the Cobalt styling way more than the GTI. I find this auto very ugly in my opinion.

Very Lovely Car, Course I could go for the Barracuda laying across the hood of that bad ass Red Camero!

Thanks for Posting this, I really like this Version so much better than what Bush rolled around in. Hopefully Obama will get the next one to in 4 years. Gotta love american built Auto!. If the GOP had their way, they would have killed this company and then probably gone to Mercedes and asked for a armored limo. Just what we need, our President being driven around in a foreign made auto. Awesome Job GM, Keep it up.

WOW Nice compliment only to be bashed by a persons personal prefereance for the very Ugly GTI

WOW, I actually like it!!! Course what would be a comment without discussing the marketing and sales of a vehicle like this. "Muslims Unit" You can now send your Bombers in Luxury to Meet Allaha and get their 72 Virgins in style with the New Nuclear Fueled Cadillac. Support America, Buy America and Blow them up. All this and more for a low low price of $1,000,000 per car upfront, this includes a $7000 instant rebate from GM.

SWEET!!!! This is a positive note for the US, we keep production here, grow our own engineers and show the world that not only did we start this automotive business based on FORD, but we can build the new technology and build it better and go to the next level. I am very excited by this anouncement. :sign0200:

Can you please post these pictures if you still have them, I would love to see them. Or email me at [email protected] Thanks,

2006 Escalade ESV Platinum 14.2 2006 H2 - 12 due to driving up skiing 2005 CTS - 26 2004 SRX - 26 1999 Durango - 14 1998 Dakota - 17 Pretty much same as it has always been. Excited that we might finally get a duramax Deisel Suburban, That would be awesome especially in a Denali XL Trim.

Personally, I do not see any reason for Chrysler as a independant company to survive. Sell the Truck division to a company that wants to get into the full size market. Sell Jeep to GM and merge the technology of Hummer into Jeep. As much as I love the 300, Charger and Challanger, the rest of the products really could go away and would not be missed. Over all the Auto Industry is over built and needs a solid consolidation.

So Zl-1 then you would agree that the 1.5 Trillion dollars spent on the financial industry with no strings attached should not have been paid out either. I personally was against bailing out these financial companies that created this mess. Especially with no accountability and here they have now paid out billions in bonuses to upper mgmt who have used this money to buy other companies and not get capital flowing for small to large businesses. Rich getting Richer and poor getting poorer and people say that loans backed by assets should not be done to the Auto industry but give billions to financial companies that caused this mess. So much for the Idiot Conservatives that want deregulation. This is what it gets you, careless creation of bad business and the tax payers bailing them out to keep them in place. Pure Capitalism does not work, neither does Socialism or any other form of control. It will always need to be a balance and some oversight to keep the extreme rich from destroying the world and workers.

I have seen no backlash against asian or European auto makers. In regards to the 1.5 Trillion given to the banks with no oversite and no responsibility control. Why we can flush this money down the drain with no payback compared to a paltery 34Billion loan backed by assets is beyond me. Shows just how stupid the GOP senators really are. Get religion and narrrow thinking out of Politics. History has shown us that any time religion gets involved in politics everyone looses.
