  1. All GM Dealers need to be haggle free, but they learn too late. They could brag about that. As like the rest of USA "The Stupid People are the Majority".
  2. does anything weigh under 3000 in this segment anymore ? [post="49338"][/post] [/quote] Not even my ex-wife :P
  3. NO!!!!!!!...but if so ONLY and I mean ONLY with a stick.
  4. Atlas is GM's name for the 4,5 and 6 cyl. inline engines refered to also as Vortec's.(not the 4cyl.ecotec-L850) The blocks are tall and would have to be modified for the kappa I believe. But the 5 cyl. did fit into the last Bel-Air Concept (trail blazer frame.---BOF anyone?) so depending on the car (ZETTA? PLEASE!!!!) it could work. And compared to the v6's, atlas' have much more torqe and HP, plus smoother runnig. I've also read that the next Gen. inline 6 will have DOD (dispalecment on demand). Didn't think it was pssible in straight 6 but I guess I was wrong. :CG_all:
  5. Anyone have ideas as to other uses for the ATLAS engines? Cars? Crossovers? Lawnmowers?etc....?
  6. Thanx...cancelling subscription as we speak!!! :) :P
  7. Saturn was right on target when they started out...but if GM didn't take control they would have died a few years back. The plastic panels can't be as tight as steel. GM made Saturn go steel now, to produce tighter gaps and less noise and higher quality. Make no mistake...saturns last as long as anything....but unfortunately people don't care about longevity these days...which is why the American car companies are suffering. I would would love to see how long the asian brands last compared to American brands and the price you pay for asian parts to keep your baby running. When the asians take over....don't blame me that your "headlight cost's $500...ok?
  8. Are you stupid? (and let's not talk like that) Jack smith (if you read my whole piece) mad money for the big shots by not investing anything into GM's future!!!! He put in ROBOTS that tried to put "TRUNKS ON STATINON WAGONS" yes picture it...and then he "CUT AND RAN and that's why WAGNER IS IN TROUBLE ...soryy but "STUPID!!
  9. Janesville just retooled for GMT 900's so not gone.........yet. Mexico is turnig from SUV's to Pickups...to offset the sale change
  10. Well by now we know the 3800 is on it's way out. It's an emissions issue more than anything...but the 90 degree design does give much torque...not sure about hp besides super charged. I would agree that the 3.9 is detuned...in my opinion (beyond detuned) I could be wrong, but I believe it has a STEEL CRANK. This would mean it could have a very high redline if allowed to do so. It seams to me GM holds back too much on what it's engines are really capable of...too conservative for todays "take a risk" markets.
  11. Yes...let's cut the flleet business (Oshowa, Ont.) 'cause that's what you do when market share is down, right? Like the Caprice that everyone wishes had stayed. I think I remember when Chrysler was in trouble....the police cars kept their heads above water? Good Job Rick...don't want to disappoint the gready "DAY TRADERS"...I'm sure they'll be with you down the rough road ahead.... :cheers:
  12. Honda Civic? mmmmmmmm...oh yes...JUNK!!! Shut up Motor Trend....Yhank You Bye!!!! (When did Motor Trend get bought out by the Japs anyway?)...
  13. I agree about the inventory not being there. The Employee Pricing wiped the dealers out of the most popular models (appearently GM has some). Let's just hope the one's who were ready to buy then have been waiting and not going elsewhere....(particularly to Asia). If this is the case...then the RED TAG could be a big boost.
  14. That's FUGI's own fault. They are a paranoid company and don't like to share too much. So they go it alone and scare people (like GM) off from doing joint programs. GM got out (atleast from what I gather) of the Subaru deal because they wouldn't share enough technolgy about their all wheel drive. I believe Chrysler is selling Mitsubishi for simalar reasons. Fugi has bailed out Mitsubishi 3 times? I believe. That must have hurt them quite a bit finacially. FUGI...Didn't your Mommy teach you how to share?
