Wal-mart not THAT bad....
I never buy CD's online. Nor do I buy them at places like Wal-Mart, or even larger Electronics stores. There's a Canadian chain called A&B Sound, which is owned by a Vancouver company. They always have what I want, and it's worth the extra pennies to shop there, because of their knowledge and customer service.

2007 Acura MDX Preview
No V8's. No "Halo Car." No RWD. = Not a true Luxury Brand. And I'm sure Acura positioned the brand this way for a reason... I just don't know it...

Top Bob Grease Job
I've said similar things occasionally. Although I don't really care much for SAAB and never have, I do believe it totally needs to keep its Scandanavian quirkiness and design. The current 9-3's center stack looks, well, American. The previous model had buttons, and lots of them, and it felt like you were sitting in a cockpit. Now, you're just sitting in a European Malibu... that has iginition in it's console, woohoo. The 9-7x is a joke. Nice vehicle, plush, and totally NOT a SAAB. I don't know if I can totally blame Lutz for this. I think GM's entire board was pretty apathetic as to how SAAB should be positioned or developed. The problem with a company like SAAB is that it's buyers are niche buyers, and most are loyal and love their vehicles. However, if GM keeps 9-2x'ing the brand, they'll move to Volvo, or something else with more flair; and that may cause SAAB to either die off, or be sold to another company. GM still has time to remedy this and it sounds like they could be turning Trollhatten loose, which is promising.

What is your next car purchase?
Russian T-90 Battle Tank. Sure it only goes a maximum of 65 kilometers per hour, but it'll allow me silence fart cans... forever... Ironically, it's way easier to attain than even half of BV's wishlist.

Yeah, I don't much at all care for the Civic, and I still think it looks better than this new Sentra...

Shocker: The Jeep Compass' Stumbling Start
It's an improvement, I guess... but as Joan Rivers has shown us all, you can only nip and tuck so much and it will still be totally ugly.

GM Marketing
Why the does the word, "expensive" come to my mind?... That's an entusiast's dream right there, RWD down the line and high performance. Only problem is, how expensive will those vehicles be? You can make very good, fun to drive FWD vehicles, and I think Pontiac can easily allow for those. Yes, they could use some real mean RWD machines, but you have to create affordable fun as well.

Saab AlcoKey to be Tested on Swedish Roads
Last time I checked, SAAB drivers don't party. We have friends down south who both drive SAAB's and their idea of a wild time is a scoop of real coffee in with the decaf.

Crossover Concerns - GM Can't Decide
"Station wagon" sounds too fogey, and I don't think it fits the Lambda's... Now the Dodge Magnum, That's a "station f*cking wagon" ... with extra emphasis on f*ck because it's so f*cking awesome.

Crossover Concerns - GM Can't Decide
Luxury Crossover?... I wonder is there's a way you can bring it down a few letters and make it a little catchier?... Maybe something done with the "X" in Luxury to become the "cross" (X=cross) in crossover? Kinda hard to describe.

Crossover Concerns - GM Can't Decide
Not really, but who cares. If I was marketing for GM, I'd try to give it a new category, or something a little different, just so it doesn't get lumped in with vehicles like the Toyota Matrix, and the Ford Freestyle.

Toyota Launches Redesigned E14 Corolla
Yet have you ever seen a totally glowing review of it? It's not a bad car... but it's not a great one either. There are better choices.

Test Drive: 2007 Toyota Solara Coupe SLE V6
Wow... I was so awake when I opened this topic, but now I'm dead tired... It's like the car is a NyQuil/Sudafed combination... only for your eyes...

Crossover Concerns - GM Can't Decide
I just know them as crossovers... But I wonder. Maybe GM should give them a new term... something other than "crossover". Something so they aren't lumped in the "crossover" category, to show they are something new, and something fresh.

Pricing: 2007 Nissan Sentra
Audi? Didn't they have a CVT? I think it'll take a few more years before we really see how CVT's play out. It seems they aren't exactly living up to their promise of better fuel economy and peak engine performance... Over time they will get better... but these days people seem to be allured with 6 speed auto's, and the CVT may be beat out by the very thing it may have aimed to replace.
