I have long wondered on C&G we share alot of our GM car buying pleasures or lack there-of in some case. We also share are like or dis-like with what products they are coming out with and what they could be doing better. My question is ultimately anyone can get on this forum and read this stuff are GM exces reading our posts? Listening to our comments? Or advice? I just always wondered that I understand were "just" customers but GM would be wise to listen to most of the folks around here some more... So anyone have a clue? A mod or regular poster?

I am just glad Pontiac is around. I won't be suprised to see some rebadging/platform sharing but I hope and believe GM can do better than the G5/Cobalt.

This shouldn't matter nor effect her campigen. Just like Obama being born when his mom was only 18. As I always say what the hell does this have to do with the price of tea in China?

I would feel the same way reg. Glad your family is okay tho. I'd find the ho and shoot her. It could be worse she could have been in a Camry Hybrid.

Saw two mid-60's Galaxy 500's on the road today.

My Bonneville was called the "Great American Touring Sedan" and it has lived up to that indeed. I know it isn't super fast but it feels and looks faster than it is. Those 3.8's have a nice powerband and the 17inch chrome wheels and dual exhaust it makes you think your faster and cooler than you are. And that is okay with me. I do love that car. Hopefully next new car is a G8 or a Camaro... Here's to hoping... Although I don't need a truck a 6.0L 1/2 ton Silverado appeals to me. I just like Chevy trucks.

Hell I loaded the Torrent down with my family of now four full grown people (some more grown than other) and tons of stuff (couldn't see out the rear window full) and the Torrent had plenty of guts on mountain roads and when passing this past July. I agree with the comment about getting rear end by a Neon although might be extreme it shows the truth. The Theta 3.4's have guts, no doubt and give you a certain amount of passion some small SUV's lack. And a rather snarling exhaust note that I like.

I am just saying I have driven a 4 cylinder Vue (07) and the new (08) both were painfully slow for me although the 2008 drove way better than the old one. I thought the lack of driving excitement was like owning a fridge. Not that there is anything wrong with no extra power but there wasn't any. I know we rip on OHV motors but the meaty torque curve from that 3.4L in the 'Nox and Torrent is hard to beat. Plus the 3.4 went over major revisions back in 2005 when it started to be used in 'Nox/Torrent. It basically is like the 3.5 they put in the G6 but smaller without VVT. The 5spd. automatic in the Torrent made a difference and gave it a slightly sportier personality than I expected... Quick story if you recall back in January my son was begging us to go get a new car. So I found the deal on my Torrent and hadn't even test driven an Equinox or Torrent ever, I still had faith in GM to build a decent car so I drove 200 miles and test drove the one I bought. After a very short drive I was sold. Then I drove both an old and new Vue to compare and they didn't do it for me. The 3.4L is a good little motor and is much improved in the Theta products then it was in my W-Impala. I thought both Equinox/Torrent 2007-2009 with the refreshed interior actually had pretty good fit and finish it was a huge step forward from the 2005-2006 models. The driving pleasure behind a Torrent is pretty good and feels faster than it is, and the 5spd. automatic no doubt helps. I think for a small SUV the driving experince is darn good. I had driven a 4 banger Rav and left that test drive very under-impressed.

Yeah I bet will see the Solestice G8 hang around tho. The G8 in spirit is a true Pontiac.

I like the slate alot as for the red I am so-so on.

If the Ava, Suburban and Tahoe go to a FWD based platform I will have a fit. They need a new design for the 2012 model year, just because the segment is getting smaller doesn't mean it is dead. Same goes for the Silverado.

That is what I am hoping for too guys. Unique styling and interiors.

Saw alot of 1998-2002 F-Bodies in the past weeks.

I love my Bonneville on the G and have driven a 2004 LeSabre Limited and liked the way it drove too. Not as sporty as the Bonneville but certainly not a drag either.

I agree all three are nice looking. *Ducks make sure my wife isn't looking over me as I type this*

Best of luck trading your truck might not be the best move if you can't get out of it what it is worth. Best of luck and wishes too you guys. A few years ago I was afraid I would take a job cut and it all worked out.

Thanks everyone. I am getting an appt. for her tho just to make sure.

I had graduated for highschool in 1975. Was starting college and my dad still had his 1971 Bonneville and the Nova didn't come till much later, was the wifes...

You make a good point cire.

Well just drove it and it was normal no noise or anything and shifted just like it did back in April 2001 when I got her. I am still getting an appointment for her tho. I think you might be right about the service and pcs. Thanks croc. I am glad we have true gearheads hear like you!

God point no that has been done. I did it 10K ago. Thanks so you don't think the trans is going? Do you? I hope your right.

Sweet, maybe Camaro will get Hurst edition Camaro. This Challenger thing is sweet.

Ugly as police car, ugly as a regular car. Just ugly but cool.

I am typically a Volt buyer but could be swayed to buy one if they look this good and they are priced right. Still prefer a nice G8 or Camaro tho.

Even with starved product I'll stay buy them over a Chevrolet most of the time because of the look difference.
