Chicks, who the heck needs 'em, anyway?

reminds me of an old MENTORS song....one line in it...

"chicks with d1cks"

maybe those are the kind that may raise an eyebrow?

well, that's fair to say I guess.

it's just that you gotta market to the fans and non-fans both. But i see your angst.

the Lancer is a nice companion to the Mazda 3. Together, those 2 represent better options than the really ugly civic and the dorky corolla. With the gas prices, lancer hits the market at exactly the right time, and its Evo cred and semi sporty attitude should mean good sales. Between Lancer and Outlander is where they revive their sales. I would much rather see Mits remain and grow again instead of having to deal with Hyundai, Kia, Suzuki seeing success here.

Accord Hybird are down since they have V6's and were aimed at 'enthusiasts' who wanted some power. But, they want power only.

One can't base the entire Hybrid car market on 1 product. Pruis INCENTIVES are up for example.

Honda can only go so far, though. The CRV seems to be their huge seller now.

CORRECTED FOR ACCURACY.

sedona, sorento, in the $h!ter.

What idiots keep buying QX56s?

the ones who felt they needed the fengshui of the infiniti showroom

the new sentra feels like a really cheap car, opening and closing the doors, sitting in it, it just feels cheap.

Leverage for what? Bad sex or ...no sex? Where's the door??? My best friend from college who now lives in S.D. had this periodic holding out from his now ex-wife. Well, after he had had enough, he "walked." He was so glad they had no children. Now, she regrets it but he says he's glad to be on his own.

We've had these kinds of posts/threads before. And, Reg, you know where I stand. Repeat after me:

1 in 7 -

yep, I saw it on Oprah or some talk show, where a panel of experts was up there, while I was on summer break from architecture school:

1,2,3,4,5,6...7 1,2,3,4,5,6...7 1,2,3,4,5,6...7

That's how many girls have been subjected to sexual trauma.

I am NOT interested in paying for it. Put out....or GET OUT.

We've had these discussions/threads about attractive never-married professional women.

My theory: 1,2,3,4,5,6...7

I mean, we can make light of the situation, but it's actually quite sad and the implications are far reaching.

Delta, do what you want. But, eventually, you will have to figure out a solution.

oh my. if you're telling this to me, it's preaching to the choir. You shouldn't need to forever pay for something that happened to her.

1 in 7 being violated may be an underestimate.

And even though the trashy ones are easy 'to get into', you pay later on because of how messed up they are. A buddy is trying to get with a married chick who is in the process of her second divorce, and has i think its 4 kids by 2 or 3 different guys. think that's gonna pan out?

As far as those professional women, oh yeah..they are head cases. or 'other' things. or they are just flat out princesses that think their beard don't stink and won't give it up for fun to anyone until that guy will give them a 2 carat rock so they can stay home and do nothing.

If a girl made it clear to me that she did not want sex from the start of a relationship, I can totally understand. What pisses me off is that your sex life is going great guns, then all of a sudden the plug is pulled. The excuses are many, like I am committing a sin to I want to make sure you do not only lust me.

It is just a power game. Most of those girls who do that always say "Koochi Power." Like Bob said, they are mostly single professional women, who feel that they can out-duel men and hence are superior. Well it is time to tell them to show their power to somebody else, cuz it is time to find another hiding place.

more and more in today's world i find that lots of women have major problems with being a woman. there's still all sorts of penis angst out there fellas. if they have a career, they all too often get the man vendetta because they have been told the men are keeping the women down. Sex (teasing, dressing slutty at work, being bitches in general and having it be forgiven because they are 'a woman') then becomes a big tool to help them gain an advantage in the workplace. If men acted at work like women do we'd all be fired long ago. Catty sluts who dress like hos get promoted and with big pay raises and allowed to do their jobs without having to do much work. The ugly fat girls end up doing tons of the real work, aside from the men who are always busting their asses.

the sentra is a plagarized Ion, plain and simple.

no, the economy has been the $h!ter since 2001. It's just that up until now, the mortgage and home values industry could mask a lot of real problems. Now watch all hell break loose. Not even the bankers can engineer this to save us now. War, outsourcing, health care debacle, funding the oil industry's greed, declining wages (for most in this country) it's all gonna come to a head soon. We have to wait until 09 to look forward to seeing movement on fixing any of this, unfortunately.

Looking at some of the other imports sales declines (20-30% on a lot of core models) I am even more impressed with GM holding its own.

Tell me who has seen any prosperity or seen their situations get better in the US since 2001.

The problem with the new Sentra is even with a 200hp/6-speed powertrain, it's not even half as interesting as the 175hp/5-speed Sentra Spec V of last generation.

Yes. it has no performance appeal to it. the look suggests geeky commuter car. thanks to the borrowed Ion styling.

In all honesty - the new Sentra has moved up a slot. It's bigger and more expensive than the outgoing one (plus last year Nissan was selling the old-gen Sentra at fire-sale prices). When you add the Versa and new Sentra together, you get right about the same volume, which is what I think Nissan expected. I see plenty of the new Sentras around, and agree, they're ugly. I feel the same way for the whole Nissan lineup, but I seem to be in minority around here.

this is true also. The Sentras biggest flaw is the horrific interior. It's an absolutely miserable car interior in spite of its huge amount of space. It's not driver oriented and its cheap garbage all around. The fabrics might be the worst I've seen. the seats look cheap. The plastics are abysmal and none of the materials play off each other. Ghosn's cost cutting destroyed any appeal this car would have. None of the design is integrated and its got the horrible shifter placement that is less car and more minivan or something. The Versa to many is more appealing and takes enough sales away to doom the Sentra.

Another example of why the Mazda3 is the class of the field. Mazda did a bang up job on the 3.

NASTY

haha, they had to give their spin based on 'daily selling rate' HAHA. the SPIN, the SPIN.

Acura, in the crapper.

Look at those Accord hybrid numbers!

I wonder what all the greenies think of that. Not even Honda can make a business case for a hybrid now. The ecojerks think every car should be hybrid, but hey, who's gonna write the check for you?

Look, the Ridgeline is going further into the toilet. Element is taking it in the shorts too.

S2000. NICHE? YOU THINK? go kappa.

Odyssey is even taking it in the shorts. And its a decent van. Maybe minivans are dead. Bad for DCX if that's the deal.

Acuras sedans are taking it in the shorts too. Wow, 20-30% declines.

Honda's PR didn't make it sound bad but look at the model sales and there is a buttload of reason to be concerned in Honda land. Take out Honda's cheaper established core models (accord, CRV, civic) and there is not much for Honda to be pleased about.

keep in mind the economy is in the $h!ter. foreclosures are abundant and housing permits here are down 53%. Nov 08 cannot come soon enough. New pres cannot be had soon enough. In the meantime, GM is holding its own very well in spite of lack of new models and in spite of high gas prices.

"Falling consumer confidence over credit and housing uncertainties made

for a challenging month for us and the entire U.S. auto industry,

especially compared to last month," said Jim O'Sullivan, president and CEO

of Mazda North American Operations. "At Mazda, we feel we have the right

products in our showrooms to keep our incentive spending in check and help

us make gains in an increasingly volatile and unpredictable market."

again, for GM to do as well as they did, in spite of this, says something.

it's too bad this won't get corrected until Jan. 2009.

Yep I started when I was around 9...I've always been into boobs and stuff ever since I can remember....As far as my relationship goes...its a LONG story, but I love her so I'm hanging in there waiting for her to want to have sex again, if it never happens...then I'm a douche and wasted my time....$h! happens sometimes...

if she is being a dud like this NOW, imagine what it will be like 20 years from now. The holding out on sex bit as a tool works great for women to evolve it into leverage for other stuff. Or, it's a symptom of some deeper problem sometimes which you might not want part of. i.e. she could be messed up.

Might want to check out other stuff while you can...............commitment is nice, but if there is no ring involved, it ain't commitment yet. Take care of yourself first.

Bob, those Catholic American Princesses......it's risky...'no birth control' ya know. The reason they aren't freaks in the sack is all that Catholic guilt. But some of them shed that at some point and become real minxes.

sweet.

show some love to the Edge and MKx. This is what lots of folks want.

can't wait to see the mazda numbers.

Wow... Mitsubishi had 630 some odd dealers in 2004... now it has 520 dealers.

520 dealers @ 12,047 mthly sales = 23 sales per dealer... however, what's Mitsubishi's fleet percentage?

Also, keep in perspective that Mitsubishi sold 345,922 cars in 2002... they're currently on track to sell less than 150k this year.

chrysler sells 7 vehicles per dealer per month lately i thought i read. I know from what buickman told me there are 2800 buick dealers and they likely are not selling much more these days until the enclave arrives. 13,024 was what Buick sold? Not much more.

Year-to-date, Mitsubishi sales are up 19.6%, compared to the January-April period in 2006.

"We are particularly pleased that sales of our all-new fuel-efficient 2008 Lancer are off to a tremendous start," said MMNA CEO Hiroshi Harunari. "At the same time our all-new Outlander crossover SUV continues to sell very well."

Lancer sales for the month were 3,860, up 263.5% compared to April 2006. This was the largest sales month for Lancer in nearly three years (May 2004).

Other April sales highlights:

Outlander closed at 2,047 units up 152.4% from last year's volume.

Endeavor sales were 1,375, up 3.4% from April 2006.

For six consecutive months - and nine of the last ten months - Mitsubishi sales have increased compared to the same month of the prior year.

520 dealers, still more than Saturn I think.

keep in mind the economy is in the $h!ter. foreclosures are abundant and housing permits here are down 53%. Nov 08 cannot come soon enough. New pres cannot be had soon enough. In the meantime, GM is holding its own very well in spite of lack of new models and in spite of high gas prices.

Among other things

keeps the pipes clean. keeps the seeds in production.

i recommend voyeurweb.com

it's free

free of spyware and viruses/safe site

not gross or demeaning

you get about 10-15 minutes in and you got enough for your fix.

real women/amateurs, not photoshopped

some trailer trash but hey we all love that sometimes

they even throw a couple guys on there for the guy guys

enjoy

98, nice prose, great stuff, but not everyone has that sort of will power or squeaky clean outlook on the world.

porn is alright in smallish doses and if it's not degrading or just flat out fake and sick. Keeps the heart healthy.

ear plugs come with it?

I'm up for the job if you pay me lots and and let me work in my tshirt and shorts at home.

it's moot because guys like me have test driven your 'new car' on the lot and really have driven the snot out of it on the 20 miles we had it.

i am not skilled enough to match the revs to be able to do that without wrecking something.

2 years ago my wife said I could lease a GTO. I wanted to. It fit the budget.

it just wasn't practical. small trunk, less mpg, only 2 doors, rwd only.

it would be nice to get something you both want and need but when something like the Edge which I like still comes without manual shift control it just pisses me off. There is still a lot of dumb things automakers do to force you go for need instead of want when you could have both.
