Intrepidation

LEFT!

On thing flaw I find with that analysis is the Matrix is as ugly or uglier.

And this is what GM doesn't seem get, that people won't settle for less and will shop elsewhere. Same problem for Chrysler and Ford, but Ford has learned from it's mistakes and is making some of the best vehicles on the market now. Chrysler I dunno...if teh Ram is any indication then maybe.

Makes sense since these stores already sell Chinese pieces of $h!. So when it breaks a week later can I return it without the receipt for a full refund?

There seems to be little doubt that Chinese cars will hit the U.S. market some soon – the big question is when. At least one automaker is suggesting that Chinese cars will enter America by way of Mexico, with production starting in 2010 and sales in the United States by 2015 after first making the rounds in Latin America and Canada. That date may have been sooner had we not hit such a nasty global economic crisis. Perhaps the most interesting part of this scenario would be the distribution chain. Instead of using franchised dealerships, Mexican-built Chinese cars could be sold at large retail chains like CostCo and Walmart. GS Motors, the Mexican distributor for China's FAW brand, is already trialing this strategy in Mexico and would likely do the same in the States, assuming the program proves successful in smaller markets.

VW: German Engineered, Hitler Approved.

Where did the Porsche bit come from?

Well you have had that sig up for a surprisingly long time. I guess you are due for a new one.

Yeah but I'm sure VW doesn't want to make it well known that their first car was delivered to Hitler.

Sixty8 was one but didn't respond...bummer, I was looking forward to it.

Right, and there's always the HD trucks for the more hardcore trucker.

What's the point of the last part of the statement? The as tested Ram was the top model, I image in came with most everything as well. I like the Avalanche, particularly the midgate...but the Ram's better ride and more useful Ram Box (VS those little stowage slots in the Avalanche) would probably get my vote. Plus I love the way the new Ram looks inside and out.

Meh, looks more European than Mopar. Nice render and model though.

Man I swear, Left Lane News has one of the biggest group of idiot posters on any automotive news site.

Ah. pwnt.

Happy Birthday!

Happy (belated) Birthday!

This is true. The bottom line is you can't go wrong with either of these trucks. As far as Dodge goes, the only thing I wish they would address is this steering issue I've been hearing about in every review.

It will make a lot of sense when gas starts going up again and the price of the batteries go down.

He's just sore because when the concept first came out he proclaimed GM would never build it. GM is building it, so instead of eating crow he's got to put it down every chance he gets to make himself feel better.

It's pretty unanimous among non GM fans that the last gen Silverado had a cheap, poorly built, ugly looking interior. Was it functional? Sure, but the current gen shows that it doesn't have to look like a poorly assembled brick. Personally, I think the generation before last was better.

That includes the one I had to PUSH because it wouldn't start.

1.) GM won the last truck shootout 2.) Of course it's interior is better than the `05...the bar was set pretty damn low 3.) Interior was better than the competition then, the Ford and the Dodge have just raised the bar is all. 4.) They didn't bash it That is not bashing.
