  1. So, an interesting rumor I hear... Found out GM trademarked the name "Cavalier" again.....though this time it also includes the US. Knowing that the both the Sonic and Spark get the ax in the very near future- makes me wonder if the Cavalier is coming back as a simple sedan (like the Versa) and replace the Cruze, Sonic, and the Spark. I know Nissan is going to chase the youth market with affordable tech and style- maybe GM could be thinking the same? (and yes, bring that same one they use in china and elseware....
  2. Square
  3. Sexy!!
  4. Agree. And it they can keep the price very close to where it is now- I see this as a winner.Wouldn’t have a problem getting one myself! This could put more butts back in seats just based on price....
  5. Wouldn’t’t the only downside to that being that salt would get into it?
  6. Not bad! Huge improvement over the current one!
  7. I will say it does look quite cool...color and all! Basically a grown up ricer’s dream car.. ? But I bet it is fun to drive though!
  8. Yeah, I need to get a new phone for work...my almost 4 year old HTC desire 626 is struggle=night now to keep up with the work load...but it has been a great phone. Most of my co workers have iPhones..and putting pressure on me to get one as well, (including my bosses). But, I still like android and it’s set up better... My catch is I am not a fan of pricey phones...could get an s10, or simply a A6 or J7 for Samsung....as long as I can check my e-mail......
  9. Totally agree with the saving part. We have struggled to save over the last so many years or so, until I picked up a much better job the previously (and even then still swinging a second job) It’s even the reason I held out for a while for a new car- hanging with the 10 year + cars we have until we were able to get a good savings build=t up to where we wanted. Only then did my 19 Nox finally end up in the picture late last year. And and with a questionable future economy- good chance the wife’s ride. Will be something CPO. (Maybe even a fire sale Cruze) And Balance is a good thing. ? I miss my DLP...it was a great TV!!
  10. Totally agree. For all we know it could be the issues and hate here that drive folks to those very drugs.. I recently had a good friend visit me from Germany, and he has truly noticed a change. He has noticed a much more cold and uninviting country since has lasted visited, or even lived here 16 years ago. He sees many of those very reasons, but his mention of a little less media and a little more real world could do wonders... And it is hard to blame other countries for our greed.....
  11. Well, I know I did not see much of a refund...and that included adjusting for the less that was taken out of our paychecks. I do not know of anyone who made out on the extra few bucks saved. And once the EIC and healthcare credits are gone, no one will be getting much back... And you know things are getting bad when Wall Street depends on folks getting that big refund check...because they know folks will spend it. We are getting to a point (even with places like Amazon) where the money and credit will simply run out..... It’s also why we are finally seeing a slight pay increase in wages after nearly 15 years of no increases. Spending power does not go up when this happens, made worse now with how fast inflation has increased in the last year, not counting those last 15 or so... Heck, my favorite salsa has gone from 2.49 to 3.89 just within this year. A 20oz Pepsi from 1.59 to 2.19. Simple things are just seeing crazy increases, and not just to the newer wages.... If Mexican products see that increase- it might make 2008-09 look like a walk in the park.....
  12. Yeah, it took a while, but the styling is finally growing on me.....
  13. Ocn, you know that is not true.... People have left this site for the same reason they leave other car boards-they just move on... Some may have been on the wild side, but many others simply just moved on and got into other things...whether it be different makers or simply different interests... Even with my current issues with GM, I am still here with my friends. ? Yeah, we tussle a little bit in opinion at times-but in the end things end up fine. I don’t abandon friends based on opinions on politics....as in the end we are all here for the love of cars....
  14. I would think they would be good for government/city and small business trucks...
  15. And we wonder why Wall Street has the crazy up and downs the do... GM builds quite a bit down there....
  16. Think our Tom Tom is like 6 years old......
  17. Well, if they sell them online-that would help. Make it different for sure....
  18. Actually a nice looking car!
  19. As long as they can lease them-automakers can charge what they choose. Used on the other hand will burn them bad.....
  20. At least he didn’t give you the bird...
  21. Kindly put, Michigan is turning into the shiittehole nobody wants anyway....and they have yet to make Detroit anything better..... The UAW is in for a surprise this time....they no longer get to choose the terms. Ford steps up first, and will have a few surprises up their sleeves. GM could easlily move more production to Mexico...as could FCA. And none of the 3 are worried about pissing Trump off either. Should be an interesting summer... As far as the Blazer is concerned, and going to dud a bit until GM gets a clue about pricing. With the economy slumping and Wall Street grabbing oil barrels by the balls, GM just might regret cutting the Cruze out.....
  22. Now, yes very much so.... but this success is after a struggle they had for a while ... That said- FCA seems to have the best line going right now...and the Jeep trucklet is only going to make it better. Now if they could use a little Nissan to shake a car or to into FCA, it could work!
  23. At least they are still around.....
  24. I agree...but the question is do that have a choice? Even the rebadging is going to cost money they don’t really have....
