what exactly is a VENZA?

so wisely i chose to suspend my direct tv last week. of course, until the other day, i didn't have any converter boxes either. well, i have one of them hooked up now. should be interesting to see if i am a go. does one need a whole new antennae also? i have the plasma, which has the digital tuner. I think i just need an antennae for that. i have 4 other TV's, of which 2 of them for now I will have converters for. I have an antennae hooked up to the first one which I believe is an HD antennae, but we'll see. Big question, is the converter box still worthless without a proper antennae? That's what i don't get. It's coming! Are you CONVERTED?

lets wait and see how edmunds buthchers it. i saw the nox at the autoshow. its gorgeous. the vue is a fun to drive vehicle. this is bound to be even better. i may have to consider one. the mpg alone is worth it. i am glad this will expose the crv and rav and forester for the crap they are. in comparison to the edge, this will return huge fuel economy advantage with similar function.

a banana colored vega was my DT ride.

thing that sucked, i wanted to get my aztek in yellow. had to settle for victory red. awwwwwww

honestly though, the camaro, equinox, malibu, cruze, traverse, tahoe, silverado, that's a pretty solid lineup. caddy has CTS and SRX to tread water. LaCrosse, Regal, Terrain, Acadia, good products! Buick and GMC is the part that can still be pared down over time. the rest of the brands have been shed per wishes of divine world superpowers. the same public that argued that they bought a cahmree because it was a better product, should take their own advice and judge the GM product on its merit, not based upon rhetoric or bias, if they want to adhere to their own self created impartial standard. oh but wait, see, it was never an impartial standard.

in the infamous recent thread where i explained about the car that got stuck on the street by my daughter's school on the snow day this past winter......the car in question was an LS. Level flat street with a little fresh snow. Couldn't move. Had to be pushed. I've had snows on my Tbird before and it helped a lot, but the car has got to have something tangible for it going for me if i ever get another rear driver. For a Camaro, or Magnum, i would consider it. My neighbor who does actual promo and is on Dodge's payroll even told me not to get a RWD Magnum, even with the ESP. This is from a guy who loves RWD performance rides. He said the LX cars are skates, and the staibility control doesn't do much for it with stock tires. He said to make it drivable you basically need to get snows and even then its not ideal. I seem to recall though, the v6 LS s had great weight distribution. It was like 51/49 or 52/48 I think. I would think depending on how much ICE you get, if you buy snows, and throw 100 pounds in the trunk, and had a light driver, that the LS would prob be fine for a lot of winter driving around town and the metro area as long as there are not a lot of killer inclines. The LS is a nice vehicle and I think it prob falls into the category of worth dealing with weather issues if the car is well taken care of and is a good buy.

right. the cube was one of the biggest piles of garbage i saw at the auto show this year. the soul is passable. the xb is just the xb and even with its effed up dash, still seems like a reasonable vehicle. the element is the class of this field (sarcasm) and its got a cheap interior also. and yet folks whine if the plastic is too cheap on a cobalt.

on second thought, considering who owns government motors now, i doubt beretta is politically correct.

they were supposed to build the new one too. partly why they had it in the contract that the impala name is only built in oshawa.

yeah the grille has less chrome on it on the sport pack i think.

maybe we will have impala classic, without the leaping impala, and an impala SS.

the sport package had larger wheels. more aggressive spokes.

beretta

i said JAPANESE GOVERNMENT

it was inevitable something like this would happen. better chrysler first than GM.

the wheels don't look like the sport wheels and the grille is more chromed than i thought the sport models were, but the LS covered many years and configurations. i'll admit i am not savvy enough on all the model years of the LS to know for sure.

no i think the debadging is to take the impala identifier off the car so that in the time continuum there is further spacing of the current model from any impala badging so the next one can arrive sooner than thought possible. http://www.autonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/arti.../306089931/1197 only glitches, i thought oshawa had the rights to the impala name.

canada likes pontiac

and the volt wasn't paid for by the japanese govt either, like the prius was

i used to compare my 99 SHO with my brother in law's 96 SHO. his had carpeted (or whatever) lower interior kick panels on the door, and dampers on the glove box i think and JBL audio. Among other niceties. My door panels were pure cheap crude plastic, no slow moving glovebox, and much cheaper stereo. there was other stuff that got decontented also. I just can't remember all of it right now. hasn't chevy done this on the impala with the side markers and laminated window glass or something?

financing is usually a stickler with older cars. but, this one is a really nice one, and a really nice LS. i have looked at some LS in the last few years and I can tell just from the pictures that this one seems more well kept than most. its a nice color combo also. the LS is a unique car. I've never test driven the v8, but i have test driven the v6 manual a few times. does this have the sport suspension or standard suspension?

my parents 88 century even had auto headlights. every ford i have had has had them. my two diamante mitsubishis even had it. a lot of GM luxury car in the 80's and 90's even had them.

and hybrids still sell what, 2% of cars sold in the US? who wouldn't love to have one, but they rarely make financial sense. and if you do commit to a hybrid, at least there are good looking ones out there. fusion hybrid, altima, volt. notice how the prius and insight were not included in that description. what does it matter anyways? when all our cars get 40mpg, the price of gas will triple, so the oil companies get even richer, and the government will start taxes your miles driven from the black box they have planted in your car, not from gas tax. hybrids are a gateway to greater social control if their development is not left to free market.

most reviews have said this is good. i was going to ignore it, but best buy has it for 9.99 this week, and amazon has it for a 3.99 download. i love hagar and van hagar, so its pretty obvious i will be owning this, perhaps as early as this afternoon.
