Build your VUE GL and AURA
those are the hubcaps on steel wheels....they look amazing convincing in that picture as alum. wheels. the steel spokes are wide...i don't think they can make them thin.

Build your VUE GL and AURA
its ridiculous how cheap the Aura is. i priced an XE with lthr and roof and htd seats.......23500 or something. black/black XR with SR and lthr for 26. i hope saturn sells 250,000 a year. so much more value than a loaded up Jetta. I hope this even pummels the Fusion. I am so bored with the Fusion.

RWD
the rear side glass behind the door was changed. the impala emblem was added. and, the big change.....opening up the rear wheel well. the most effective changes that made the Impala SS a looker and the caprice not, was the wide tires and black paint and lower susp. the wide tires were properly proportioned to the wide ass. the base caprice tires looked like bike tires.

RWD
the person that wrote that into the article did no testing to prove or disprove that statement. most customers still know that even with ESC and stuff, RWD is a bitch to get aorund in in winter when FWD or AWD is so much easier. add esc and stuff to FWD and AWD and its even more winter friendly. does everyone forget why SUV's became popular in the first place? AWD/4wd.

RWD
i think why the 300 got so much praise was its unibody/RWD combo. BOF is hated by the auto rags. unibody is tighter.
-
RWD
the ghetto bling / hood styling of the 94-96 SS is just as much reason why it is a popular car.
-
RWD
amen. if anything. AWD is the big draw these days. from SUV's to cars....AWD is where its at.

Ipod Connection to be on all GM models!
MS has never demonstrated the ability to sell anyting cool and hip, much less anything that is easy to use or even works like its supposed to. Apple's future is dependent on retaining the status of their media superior products. Apple is forward thinking and inventive enough that they are probably 2 steps ahead of microsoft with whatever they are developing now.

Opel Antara: Elegant 4WD Crossover
antara on km77.com i sure hope this thing is as spacious as the current vue. lots of folks love the room inside the current one. it could be suicide if they replace it and its no where near as functional. the styling is nice tho. as longas the north american idiots don't dumb down the interior.

Hauling or Crawling?: 2006 Honda Ridgeline RTS
ah, that turismo interior reminds me of the night in college one of my buddies pissed in the open window of another buddies *charger*..024 or whatever it was (yes alcohol was involved)...that is what that thing looked like and recalling sitting in a ridgeline interior i'd have to say you're definitely on the right track there. There's a newly remodeled Honda dealer about 2 miles from my work. I'd love to own the land right next to it. If i did, I'd get Chevy to haul about 100 Avalanches on the lot right next to it, so folks could get past the hype and see how badly the Avalanche trounces the Bentline...first hand. instead of reading CR and getting int he car and driving straight to the honda place, magazine in hand.

"Jeep loses its way with Compass"
honestly, this is just another example of how people judge a car as a whole so much on interiors. interiors is probably the biggest reason (that and styling) why people (*cough* women) by a certain car. its why GM falters so bad. its why chrysler gets ragged on some. It should be interesting to see the Patriot reviews. I'm still 50/50 on whether the compass should have been built, but the Patriot, i think it will be well received and its the same car. Why can Honda and Toyota be excused for their wimpy Rav 4 and CRV and a similar Jeep gets burned?

Ipod Connection to be on all GM models!
if it involves microsoft, its not gonna work intuitively or be easy to use. in fact....it probably won't even work at all.

Ipod Connection to be on all GM models!
boy, you are out of the loop. Ipod is like 77% of the market. those who 'ahem' don't have one, that's what the miniplug on the front of the radio is for. this should been out 2 years ago. tho....in 2007 its not exactly earth shattering

Hauling or Crawling?: 2006 Honda Ridgeline RTS
the new avalanche interior is so far above the ridgelines horrific interior. i have no idea why siegen could even try to argue that. i am not sure how chevy can build MILLIONS of trucks that can survive YEARS of TOUGH duty and then Honda introduces ONE TRUCK without a frame and we're supposed to believe it will hold up better. as they say HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
