Acura News: Next Acura RL To Be Shown At New York, SH-AWD To Be Optional
But will they fix that Ugly Buck Tooth Grill????? The Acura current Grill has got to be one of the worst in the auto industry. It reminds me of a beaver with a single big tooth to cut down all the trees.

GM News: 3,400 GM Workers At Kansas Plant Prepare For Strike Vote
Stupid stupid stupid, GM should just standardize the contract with UAW for all plants. On top of this, with the amount of ownership the UAW has in GM, they need to wake up to the fact that a profitable GM is good for the UAW and that the old days of crazy wages and benefits are over to be a competative force in the global economy. UAW seems to have not grown up yet.

Chevrolet News:Some Chevrolet Dealers To GM: No Thanks To More Volts
True they have an automotive program, but in this case, if the dealerships are not wanting to sell the cars, then sell them direct via Costco at a set price and then you just pay for the shipment cost of having the car delivered via truck to your home. GM could and Costco make a fortune this way.

GM News: Volt Gets Its Day In Congressional Hearing
Hyperv6 I do hope you are right and that GM smackes the dealerships to get them inline with selling this technology as I think it has a ton of potential, far better than electric only.

Jeep News: Jeep Rolls Out A Stealth Grand Cherokee Concept
I am one that loves the monotone color. I hate all the chrome bling on high end models and would love to be able to buy my SUV with blacked out windows and all the exterior of the vehicle being the same color. I believe this will be a great hit for many who also do not like the bling look on the high end models. Go Jeep, Black Mystic is my thought of a name.

Chevrolet News:Some Chevrolet Dealers To GM: No Thanks To More Volts
Let's not forget the dealers who still mark up these Volts way over MSRP and then use the 6K rebate to justify getting it at MSRP price. GM needs to make it a requirement for all Chevy Dealers to have at least 3 Volts on their lots, 1 for demo driving and 2 for sale and have it at a set price, 5% mark up and that is it. The No Dicker Sticker for VOLT!!! If the dealers do not want to work with GM, then GM should go with Costco and move a tone of them at a 5% markup.

GM News: Volt Gets Its Day In Congressional Hearing
The VOLT is an Awesome car. I hope it does take off and get a long life. I do have to wonder and Question the Chevy Dealerships. Especially those that are not willing to take more so they are available for sale. Is this because you are still trying to sell above the MSRP price? A chevy dealership here in Seattle has two VOLTS, one is the demo drive and the other is available for sale, yet they have a 10K markup over the MSRP price on the car. Again the idiot dealerships are trying to rip off the buyers rather than sell as much as possible for a decent 5% gross profit. GM, Let Costco Sell these cars for you and you will have more sales than you can produce. The dealerships do not seem to be wanting to move metal. Very sad day for the dealerships.

Proof that people are incapable of driving in snow, period
If that is how it started as I had no audio when I watched it then it would explain allot of why so many auto's that I have seen handle 6" plus of snow here in seattle ended up being worthless. Very true of what has already been posted, everyone was driving way too fast.

Old Generation Trailblazer AWD SS
Hello Everyone, So I have pulled the trigger but on a different one. I went to the dealer and drove the white one, it was very nice and I would have been happy. Yet the wife had an appointment we had to run to, so I told the dealer I would be back later. Never made it back to that dealer, but did inform them I would not be buying it. While my wife was at her appointment, I stopped by another chevy dealership, the sales manager had his wifes fully loaded burgundy/maroon 2008 Trailblazer SS. When I say fully loaded, I mean it had everything, leather package, nav, rear entertainment,etc. He had ordered it with every option marked. Nice thing is that it only had 26K miles on it. Better yet, the sales manager threw in the GM recertified 36 months, 36K miles bumper to bumper warranty starting from today. So for $26,000 I now have a new to me 2008 Trailblazer AWD SS. I pick it up on wednesday as due to the age, I wanted them to detail it and go through checking everything including updating the Engine and Transmission computer programming to the latest versions. Very excited to have this in our family stable of AWD auto's. Thank you everyone for your input.
