  1. there simply is not much of any maker's v6's that come in less than 25k msrp these days. the g8v6 is not that expensive.
  2. yuck. some want to spend big bucks to visibly display that have a CR subscription
  3. i've liked this impala and the prior one, but i am not big on the current one's interior. the v8 option is nice, but the impalas never got the HF v6 which is sad.
  4. just to get a hybrid entry to say they have it. exactly the type of thing the japanese did and still do. t-100, tundra, now the full size tundra. start out with something, just to get in the market, and then over time it competes better. now when the next gen aura hybrid with two mode comes out, they can say its their second gen hybrid instead of saying its completely new.
  5. hey, we build engines in mexico, and in return a whole bunch cross the border and they end up working fast food, hanging drywall, a bunch of things our teenage kids won't do these days. We do get something out of mexico. Can't say that about japan.
  6. everyone walking the face of the earth could use it from time to time.
  7. GM ought to develop a fast charge/solar collector system to sell with the volt. i'd ask the hippies to do it, but all they want to do is complain and not solve any problems.
  8. my inlaws are driving up today in their olds 88. the thing has almost 200k on it now I think. yet, how many would feel safe having 70+/80+ year old couple travelling in an old domestic car? well, i trust it. you need to find some way to give this teacher an alternate viewpoint. i would challenge him to provide specific personal evidence that domestics are the garbage he professes.
  9. wow. just wow.
  10. why not charge the volt off that extra power?
  11. you gotta wonder how much longer rosie will be able to get any jobs in the entertainment industry, especially now that she has turned on barbara
  12. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21152509/?gt1=10450
  13. yeah, a trunk would be nice. LEG ROOM too.
  14. cabbage smells after it is cooked/preconsumption as well as post consumption
  15. you got his email? I'll rip his head off and crap down his neck. is this ALL Americans? is it only domestic cars that break down? Get me his email. So, in his mind, you simply abandon an industry you are still pulling about 50% share in? One of the largest industries in the US? An industry that 1 in 12 people in this country are supported by? WHAT A DUMBASS> never accuse a professor of being smart. there's a reason why people teach, instead of doing. Pompous ass forgot to mention, in his eyes, only PEOPLE THAT MATTER are willing to pay for their ricer rides. My dad still drives his 92 caddy. is THAT breaking down? I have never had to fix an engine or transmission or suspension on the domestic cars I have bought. Is THAT breaking down? He must only read Consumer Reports. Does he see JD Power? Sounds like a jerk. Part of the reason people buy imports is to visibly demonstrate to everyone else that they are superior in some way. They merely want to differentiate themselves from the other proletariat. I tend to think its a way to show they spend excess money foolishly.
  16. i like it. In TDI, might be a nice sleeper car for family road trips. As long as it runs.
  17. nothing wrong with gm working on a dohc truck motor to hedge their bets in case it become neccessary in trucks. 1- you put it in the escalade to amortize and pay for it, 2- look what happened when gm waited to long with dohc v6's..... any dolt who thinks gm never should have developed ohc v6's have not drove a 3.6 nor read any new cts reviews. in the end though, my guess is this is primarily emissions and fuel economy driven.
  18. impala does well and i think the malibu will surprise a few folks........
  19. he prolly has a RUNE engine in it.
  20. there exists a GREAT BIG OPPORTUNITY for the aesthetics of our house to evolve and change in repsonse to things like PV and climate orientation, etc. i wish i had time and money to pursue it. plus the general public is repellant of most things prgoressive in housing anyways. the planets would need to align where style, cost, and tech all come together at one time. i mean, how cool would it even be to do even rain water collection, too? i'm NOT A GREENIE, not a hippie, or a lefty or anything. BUt man, this $h! IS ALL FREE. that's where my interest lies. How do we collect what mother nature and the gods give all of us for free (and equally?)
  21. lotsa wisdom there. torana would absolutely kill so many sedans (mostly furrin) masquerading as performance cars these days.
  22. i LOVE PV. and geothermal and wind too. But PV has always been still a bit cost prohibitive. Maybe we will see a point soon where it becomes worth it ona large scale. Then, see it EXPLODE. Imagine PV on top of a chevy volt. Would reduce how much you plug it in. My grandma had solar on her house 25 years ago (by a state grant). 25 years later and we're really not much further on it yet.
  23. pontiac has had the redneck stigma for so long now, it's nice to see them shedding it.
