Given the two options what will you buy?
cobalt SS might just be a great used car buy in about 3 years. assuming the one you find hasn't been abused.

Vermont lawmakers legalize gay marriage
http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Marraige interesting reading. perhaps the govt should get out of the marraige business altogether........ alas, marraiges and divorces and property and transferring wealth etc are the main ramifications in civil order with regards to marraige so since it ends up in courts eventually which is why the govt has to dabble in it in the first place i guess. sadly, domestic violence also. those mormons got shot down long ago didn't they. i would actually consider that ruling to be quite significant. honestly if polygamy had survived that time period it probably as a concept would have remained and even outside the mormom world would likely exist in greater amount than you might think. i imagine that there will be a growing market for divorce attorneys in the future......

Buick's Future May Be Chinese!
Chevy now has fallen below ford and hyundai in customer perception. And it may be close to dropping below Kia at some point. Under no circumstances should Chevy ever drop below Kia. point though - toyota seems to be dropping in status. maybe not much just yet. but their run i think is being exposed. at the expense of hyundai's rise. funny thing is CR is one of the biggest Hyundai bangers now. Amazing how such a lousy magazine can influence so many sales.

Poll: Where will Pontiacs sales go
your definition of affordable must be way diff from mine. most bimmers i know start closer to 40k. pontiac has never, and can never survive in that area.

Poll: Where will Pontiacs sales go
and if the next gen astra were the next g4, also.... or honestly some form of the cruze with a better powertrain....... g3, g5, VIBE all should go. i would get crucified for suggesting the vibe go, but. i also feel the sky is generally more liked than the solstice but with the new targa and all the current solstice design should be allowed to live out its cycle. if pontiac survives, any future roadster should be on alpha.

MEAT FOR SEX
happens with humans too. it's just that you have to take the woman to the steakhouse, pay a big bill, and leave a tip. the monkeys just bring the meat. so to speak (rim shot). all in all, meat for sex. fair trade i'd say. a lot cheaper dowry than a 4 bedroom suburban house and a crossover SUV in the garage, and a constant show of emotional support. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7988169.stm

New York: 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee - First Live Shots
x2 its like you could expect this to show up in a sorrento or borrego or veracruz, but maybe thats what they want all very odd to me considering i like the commander's interior. THAT says Jeep. i think that maybe had they simply made more drama and butchness in the center stack and console it would be ok overall. this is a jeep for cryin out louds and there are no grab handles on the dash or console. there is nothing about the dash or door panels that signifies ruggedness. it's almost like nardelli himself styled the interior with a corporate memo. at least give kudos for material quality.

Given the two options what will you buy?
just go to a used car lot. looking in the wheel wells, under the hood, doors, trunks, lots of spots if you look you will see little bits forming. i am not talking all cars. its a handful at the 5 year stage. but its enough of them that they seriously check it over. thing is, if any rust is visible on your car, the trade in value is shot. by year 7 you see a greater percentage. by 7 years you want to be out of your vehicle anyways because by that point its nickel and diming you to death anyways compared to any worth it has left.
-
Given the two options what will you buy?
wrong. not in this area. so stop it already. every dealer looks for that first here on trade in inspection. many used cars on lots here in the 5-7 y.o. range will have some somewhere, and i myself have had rust show on a 5 year old and 7 year old vehicle despite being meticulous about washing as much as possible. they dump salt all over here and its just a fact that despite people's best efforts it is an issue.

Happy Easter folks...

Poll: Where will Pontiacs sales go
i want to see how the DI 3.6 (nee Camaro powertrain) implanted in the 010 G8 turns out. that, to me, will be a worthy blend of value and performance, if they hold the line on pricing for it. the g8 needs to be marketed more with the v6, even if the v8 is more desirable. right now, the g8 is only running on enthusiast fumes. when the economy picks up again, the g8 could be one of those cars that busts the sales doors open, if the pricing and product line is right. what they should be doing with the g6 line, is cutting production and not fleeting out so many, then build more value v6 editions. or essentially the GXP spec cars with maybe a little less plush inside but at market reasonable prices. leave more of the 4 cylinder sales to malibu. of course, i also think they should graft the pontiac nose on the aura body and make that the g6.

New York: 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
the GC is the heart of Jeeps lineup i just hope they can sell enough of them the next few years to help. Unfortunately, the heavy duty SUV era is on a bit of life support...... the GC may benefit from the exit of the trailblazer and full frame explorer. the diehards for those will move up to the tahoes and expeditions.

New York: 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
considering that you can buy a used ex fleet one from 2006 for about 15 grand i would tend to say a lot of folks don't really think of them as premium.
-
New York: 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
i was merely intimating that you can't make a put down on the terrains lighter build when the benefit to it is an affordable price tag and far superior fuel economy.....which, in a tough economy, is why the new GC may not do well and why the Terrain may be very popular. especially since the GC looks more korean than anything else.
