  1. Here's what made the front page of the NAIAS section in my province's largest daily: The Tru140 also grabs a sizeable portion of the article dedicated to the show, with the writer outlining the "very attractive" coupe's mountain of technology. There is a mention of the 130, saying it's "interesting" and that it has E-Assist. But that's all.

  4. The recording/media industries already have the DMCA to go after offenders. All SOPA and PIPA do is give them the tools to squash legitimate competition.
  5. How can Chrysler be perceived as a luxury brand when the mass-market 200 sits in the dealership? Especially when it sits alongside the Town & Country which will become the sole minivan?
  6. So many Mercedes B-Class' run around my city. They're quite unremarkable looking, woefully cheap inside, but sell well because they're the only game in town. This Buick could be a very good competitor. Features and design wise, it's clear Buick understands the market it will be selling to - I think it'll be a home run.
  7. I think Honda forgot it had an auto show to attend and slapped on a body kit and some chrome onto a current Accord Coupe the night before. That's a good thing actually, because it seems when they put actual effort into design these days, the result looks like horrible.
  8. It's like an eighties Malibu coupe came to the future and brought all the boring along with it. Chevrolet can do way better, and it can start by using the tastier Tru140S for the design philosophy.
  9. A very timely vehicle and I don't think it could have been done any better! I really like it! It makes the Mercedes B-Class look even dowdier and boring than it already is.
  10. Just an unscientific test: I had the Tru 140s on my Mac's screen for several minutes when fooling with my tablet. I had five guys come up to me and ask what it was. I then showed them the 130, and the response was far less positive. 'Too retro' and 'for old guys' were the two standout quotes. Chevrolet should build both. If that's not possible, then I feel the Tru 140s is the one to do. The 130 looks to the past, but the 140 is the future, in my opinion.
  11. I'm not a big fan. They toned down A&S too much for my tastes - though there are some details I really like and everything is well put together. But I suppose the less aggressive exterior, and the fact the interior looks up to snuff are the two things that should rope in the buyers.
  12. Yeah so they can then close those industries to investment fifteen years down the line after they've matched the rest of the world, too! Oh, but if we were to do that in North America that's PROTEKSHUNIZM and SOSHULIZUM.
  13. Here's clear. Sell the Challenger. Buy an Accord or Corolla. Save money for future endeavours which will require large sums of said money.
  14. Fruit boxes thrown out by supermarkers are a surprisingly good replacement for pants. Sometimes they have plastic bags that you can use for footwear in them too! Bonus! Gotta save money during the recession, somehow.
  15. Yeah Fullmoon. Take your trolling to the /b/uick forums where it belongs.
  16. No. I'm saying that you need something low cost. For a long time. If you want to do journalism, money will be hard to come by for some time. You need to start saving and you can do that by buying the white Accord. Buying a vehicle that will inevitably have higher premiums, higher fuel costs and higher overall maintenance costs... and going into school for a few years and coming out with a job that will have you scrounging for cash... makes no sense.
  17. Wait... You're LIMITED to those? If I were in your boots, I'd be limited to a 2001 Corolla.
  18. They should lop off 'Luxury Edition' and put Imperial in its place. This car is totally deserving of being called a 300 Imperial. It'd also build some real cachet for the Imperial brand and potentially lead to a completely new luxury sedan called the Imperial in the future.
  19. SKYRRRRRIIIIIMMMMMMMM!!!!!
  20. I think you've had way too much egg-nog.
