Intrepidation

Saw the first in the wild (not on the dealer lot) Ram today, towing a trailer. It was a blue Laramie...very nice looking truck.

It's played out? O'RLY? Cuz I see lots of mainstream cars with those proportions. I'm sure in your diluted world you do too. :wink: You must have very short memory, as besides the Jeep (which a lot of people on this very board seem to like based on what they see so far), the others are very much subject to change, as they are still in the early development cycle.

You dolt, of course not the Avenger, or Sebring. They're at the bottom of the pack right along with the G6. The Mazda, regardless of what the least gen was like, now sits right at the top of the class. The Fusion is right there with it. The Accord, Altima and Malibu are also way better cars than the G6. Why do you always think that by bringing up a Chrysler product you'll somehow get an upper hand and defending whatever piece of crap you may? If it's a better car I'll use facts to prove it, and if it's not, obviously I won't argue, since if you've ever paid attention you'd know that I've criticized Chrysler's midsize offerings plenty of times.

Awesome is one word you could use to describe it.

A little off topic but, caddycruiser, post some photos of the G8 you got!

Those will never die...lol

Well if that happens I'm just replacing the engine with a more powerful one.

NEVAR!!!!!!!!!!!!

So just curious, is this BMW you're after the car she wants or the car you want?

What about an Olds like an Intrigue? Or a 300M? The Catera from everything I've heard is full of reliability problems. I don't consider there to be a 2nd gen one because outside they're almost identical and inside saw only moderate updates.

Fixed.

Most, if not all of that stuff of that stuff can be applied to many other cars that wrap it up in a better package.

Only had a parking brake issue when the actual cables rotted out..pretty sure that's a problem regardless of where the brake engagement takes place. Let's not turn this into yet another "omg modern (and somehow throw in FWD) cars suck) thread. But I agree with Sxity8, try to get a more clear picture...that might help.

That's what I was trying to figure out.

And another excuse to bash the Volt too!

I'd like to know how the cop can ticket you for not having reverse when odds are he pulled you over going forward

We've been living without reverse while still driving it. So long as you keep in mind that wherever you park you need to be able to pull forward out of, it's no big deal. The tranny will get replaced eventually I'd imagine, but it's not my car to call the shots.

+1

Not me.

Toyota Insight?

Man I'd hate to have to back one of those vans up...or be seen in one.

Funny thing is the G6 has always looked like a Japanese car with a Pontiac badge and grill and cheaper interior. Why anyone would take it over GM's own better car equivalent cars is beyond me. Unless you just really like the look (for whatever reason) or want a FWD coupe or convertible and it's gotta be GM.

Probably.

Kinda neat to see them take care of these things, nearly all of them stateside are beat to hell and/or in the junkyard. Compared to what ricers do to their Civics this is pretty tasteful.
