bad question to ask! I just spent the WEEKEND doing a ZAINO job on my 500. SAY NO TO ZAINO. long story short.......not worth the $$$, if you ask me. I finally had a chance after 3 years to use the Zaino kit I bought for 100 bucks right before my kid was born. Kid came early, so, no buff job on the car until now. anyways wash car with dawn (to strip wax) clay bar wash car. AGAIN. first coat of polish strip first coat of polish gloss enhancer second coat of polish strip polish gloss enhancer third coat strip gloss enhancer and then i gave in. was gonna do 2 more rounds of polish but i couldn't last. WHAT A PAIN. one coat of Zymol cleaner wax or another good carnauba like Mothers would have been fine. The Zaino job is nice, and i filled in some scratches (it did excellent at covering up a nasty door ding and a few long scratches left by the trash can). And, its glossy and stuff, but its only incrementally better over a one pass wax job. point is i guess, its not easy work. Of course i did it by hand and didn't use a buffer. i was told to never use a buffer. Shops need to to make money. my arms and shoulder still hurt. I can't imagine making a job out of it. I'm gonna clay bar the aztek and then do a one pass with the zymol. the less work the better!

toyota can make money but the cars they put out have no passion. sadly, it seems like most of America has no passion either these days so its a good match.

NICK LACHEY IS SO OVER!

the SS Malibu is a good choice. Just to note, if you want a stick, there is a FLOOD of G6 GTP's with few miles on them or new ones the deal will move at good prices too....even with the longer wheelbase. You might get a deal. Any used GXP Gp's are still a bit pricey right now also.

the Ion/Astra transition is a bit of a hole. and then there is the danger of them decontenting and 'North Americanizing' the interior of it so it sucks. Aside from that, things are looking up for Saturn. Too bad the new Vue wasn't coming out a bit quicker also.

everything looks great!

yeah, over time you can say that...but its how they look in the showroom that affects sales the most.

well, toyota as BIG and SUCCESSFUL as they are now, they deserve to have an equal share of this kind of attention shed their way. they asked for it, they got it, toyota.

thank you. thank you!

um, i was joking. :AH-HA_wink:

absolutely. i echo those sentiments.

ocnblu is gay????????

the whole 'keeping costs down' thing has worn out its welome and is complete and utter bull$h!. nice new camaro...hot styling. yeah, let's put our DIMESTORE motor in it.......

why are you even ASKING such a question? INTERIORS ARE EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!! how do you suppose VW revived itself? Why do fresh out of college females dump 28 thou on a tiny Jetta. Because its prim and proper and JUST SO on the inside. How do you suppose Audi became who it is? INTERIORS!!! how do you suppose Lexus got so popular? If you look at the car brands and models that create large buzzes and make large profits, its usually cars and such that have nice materials and appeal to women. Now guys like good interiors too. Sadly, GM has never gotten that. Really if GM nailed interiors, exterior styling, powertrains, and features, they would go somewhere. let's use the 07 tahoe/yukon as an example. if you see one with tan/black interior and leather it looks great. grey cloth/grey...not so great. look at the magazine test of that vehicle. it gets RAVE reviews. First GM product in a long time with universal praise of the interior. Now, you don't think there is a lsight coincidence between that and how they rate the car overall? If the Tahoe had a marginal interior like the usual GM, they would berate the hell out of the car, and that would kill sales. Watch people at the autoshow. Most of them are clueless. But they ALL judge how much they like a car, after they get in it and scope out the interior. The cars you hear folks comment on and praise have the nice interiors and they seemingly make their whole judgment about the car on that, and price. interiors are more important then powertrains to many buyers (i.e women).

charlize theron really gets me. RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

LET'S HOPE SO!

the 3900 would be a big loser in the Camaro. the camaro deserves far better.

yes she is smokin in that one

YUCK YUCK YUCK! no wonder GTI sales are at record levels.

don't get your hopes up. GM will probably shove the 3900 in the Camaro. and then proceed to tell everyone 'oh, its good enough'

they are so hopeless sometimes, aren't they?

if she settles and takes the money then its a modified form of prostitution, IMO.

i rarely, if ever, shop at walmart. walmarts are $h!ty stores.

i'm really disappointed with the 'i like guys' crowd. i haven't seen many guys being posted around here. this IS an equal opportunity thread......
