celine is knocked up again. she contributes her eggs to create a wunderchild, that and albums in both english and french.

the news postings are wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy down since over a year ago. for gm and all brands. i read most of the new stuff on GMI......

in its own bubble its prob a nice car. but what is the MSRP? then, compare it to everything else you can get at that price. i don't think it has an identity compared to what else is available in that arena. Its looks Korean. I'd almost have to go with the Acura really lame (RL) over this. actually, this is one car where the hoffmeister dogleg kink on the rear window should have been done different. i think avoiding this now passe c pillar treatment on this car would have helped a lot. the sculpting of the front end is not bad, but after the firewall the rest of the car loses me.

pass. bleh.

vince burlapp's site has an ATS pic up

great point. there is better thread for this on GMI. although, GM prob needs a 3.0 litre version of this for some international reason and needs to spread the production of it around to make it financially viable is my guess. they should retune it for decent torque. this engine should not exist in the SRX. it should only be in front drive lacrosse as a base motor.

wheres the olds aurora?

i spent most of last sunday slumming around piloting his 08 grand prix. i must say there is no way i would take one if given to me for free. there are some good things about it tho.

no stick/turbo in the regal, no chance of me caring. that would be perfect vs jetta passat turbo and lesser eqipped a4's. otherwise i wont be shopping regal.

regal will be 4 cyl only to differentiate from lacrosse. this to me guarantees the 4 cyl turbo will be here because NFW buick can market the regal with the normally aspirated engine by itself. also, if the turbo is available i cannot see them not offering a manual because the manual will get the most out of the turbo. so by nature the regal will be a very different car than the lacrosse. it will be smaller, different interior, four cylinder only, no all wheel drive.

your car looks great and the wheels are perfect. i love those wheels! i so much prefer cab forward to the gangsta style of the LX cars now.

maybe it is time to love buick again.

update. at the advice of a transmission shop guy (my dad's uncle used to own the tranny shop).....he suggested trying a bottle of LUBEGARD tranny additive to see if it helps. I had also heard of Lucasoil being helpful. BUt this guy said, only Lubegard. I dumped in a bottle. Seems to help some. Doesn't BANG off shifts now nearly as much. I know its a temporary fix. But if it helps my for 2-4 months, until i can get a plan to get into something new, then 10 bucks is dandy vs. 3 grand.

wait. think twice. its not a Japanese or German car.

k cars = epsilon today (apparently)

we had 2 or 3 vegas and 3 chevettes in our fam growing up, and i liked em all. the vegas rusted and the motors you'd have to keep rebuilding. but ya know, the vega was a hoot to drive. my chevette scooter was fun too. i wish i had a car like the chevette scooter these days.

the opel version of the coupe would be the best bet to succeed. we already have the camaro for the smoy burnout crowd. the opel design would hold up well against the current starch coupes.

i had once thought of getting a U body to replace my aztek, since they were from the same gene pool (consider a rendezvoux). but then the lambdas came out, and after driving one and seeing how much more desirable the lambda is it makes you want to hold out. before the financial meltdown, the outlook could actually be leased really cheaply. now of course, that won't happen. Most of the traverses even on chevy lots are north of 40k and GM just doesn't get that most people don't want or have that kind of jing these days which is why GMs lunch will continue to get eaten. hard to pay for the GM at that price when a flex or MKt with ecoboost tire shredder can be had for the same or little more.

well sometimes it takes a bit for tent to rise so a delayed reaction is understandable. now, back to regular network programming.

i pitch a tent every day. i don't sleep in it at night but oddly enough its there in the morning when i wake up. -sorry, just had to-talkin about tents

a better looking one, yes. better dash, and slightly different suspension tune. the 4.0 routan i drove was good. to me, you buy the VW for the looks alone.

the 3.5 gets good FE i hear, but i have seen user reports in various cars with the 3.9 that suggests its a gas hog.

the 010 shelby mustang i sat in last week had a luxurious interior. there is your personal luxury coupe. or who knows which special edition mustang it was. it sure was nice inside.

canada's are indeed much nicer!

srx will sell very well
