the only vans i would consider are the routan, quest. odyssey is tinny and loud. chrysler vans are ok but the routan looks nicer. but if you view the uplander terraza etc. as an alternative to a 3 row SUV, then its not a bad idea. 3 rows of seats and more room than say, a cx-9. plus those vans can be had with AWD. i'd suggest an extended warranty but honestly any issues with the manifold gaskets were corrected in 04 i think. and the only other thing to obsess about would be the 4wd system and tranny which would be covered by the std 5/100 gm warranty.

i grilled up a pound and half of steak for myself tonight and wolfed it down. a tiny hint of pink but otherwise i like it medium well. i like to know its done, but not charred.

all dealers have almost no inventory. and to some degree they planned it this way. when the market turned, they wanted to boost transaction prices. and car and clunkers increased demand artificially. plant shutdowns were partially to starve dealers so they could bring inventory down and thus, not have to fire sale stuff. actually on used vehicles, prices are up on the exact same vehicles maybe 10-15% or more over this time last year right before the crash.

now something is fked on my itunes videos because my apple tv says it is not authorized to play the f@#king songs i paid for and reside on my computer. bitches. and i don't have the energy to slueth why exactly the f@#k it won't play cherry pie when i want. but at least its not window vista

the feds really need to relax the rules and certification process so that carmakers would bring more diesels to market.

the CC is nice, but the cheap vw lease is about the only way to afford that puppy.

i've never bought what i thought was a bad car. but i did rent a rav 4 once that i hated.

well they have their bailout money now, soo.......... should be interesting to see if Pontiac makes a magical comeback.......as a niche brand ....LOL maybe GM promised Koeniggsegg some future tech or cash in return for floating saab until the new 9-4 and 9-5 hit the showrooms........ "this just in, Robert Lutz confirms the G8 and solstice to remain through 2012. alpha based g6 to arrive in 2013...."

after driving a CVT again today, it just reminds me how weird the CVT is. I know they say folks get used to it, but eh, in a Jeep?

i prefer the A3 dash to the rigid A4 setup myself. well, ok the old a4. the a3 seems more driver oriented.

so a golf diesel that costs 10 grand more like the A3, but a little bit much to pay for a veedub

the CTS wagon is attractive enough that i think it will challenge that view. the SRX wagon so ass ugly....ok. not ass ugly like my aztek. but it clearly did not resonate with the public on styling.

yes, cruze in the greenhouse and solara roof. i'm glad i wasn't the only one thinking that. there's about 8 other cars this thing is playing off of.

my gut tells me lutz will have the 3.6 in the lineup for this vehicle sooner rather than later.

if you want the sigma buy the cts wagon. the lexus rx was the segment sales leader and the new srx is more appealing than that. the old SRX did not sell so they killed it. this new SRX is enters Caddy in the much morelucrative RX segment, but they decided to take the old name back if they would have cancelled the SRX, no one would have missed it. by entering the new one, cadillac gets stronger in this segment. enthusaists can buy the cts wagon and its even better in every way than the SRX. women and crossover buyers can buy the new one and it will sell more vs the RX. i for one tend to think this approach will pay off for GM.

jalopniks 2.8t review is up now too and they like it

sammy 51 dave 49 VH would have been dead without hagar

bland and derivite but not offensive. better than the accord at least. good to see the late 90's cab forward come back. meh

LOW TORQUE + HIGH WEIGHT = SLUG. I should know i had a 500. ALTHOUGH, with low torque and high weight the 500 was quite sprite above 35-40 mph once the top end kicked in and the 6 speed was quite good keeping the engine on the boil. I suspect GM will need to tune the 3.0 LaCrosse the same way. I agree GM should have like one or two v6's but the jackasses in europe probably can only manage a 3.0 with all their taxes there on displacement so GM prob had to make the 3.0 size to appease those twerts.

ITS OK IF ITS A HOLE IN THE WALL WAIST HIGH THOUGH

all this is immaterial. did you spill your beer?

until the gasket goes
