Intrepidation

Funny thing about my C&G screen name was that when I first joined I didn't really realize this was a dedicated GM fansite with the occasional "other guys" members. I saw "Cadillacfan" and thought "Dodgefan sounds good" I rarely use AIM, in fact i forget what my s/n is I don't use yahoo My email addy for MSN is Liger_Ultimate_X in dedication to what used to be my favorite show/anime, Zoids, and my favorite Zoid, Liger Zero...which is an Ultimate X. Most if not all of you probably have no idea what any of it is but that's OK. I used to be a huge fan of the series, my screen names and usernames had some variation of Liger Zero. my yahoo email is Liger_Zero_CAS for example. I used to even run the 5th most popular Zoids site on the web. It still exists although I haven't updated it in years. Zoids Unofficial. But I digress. My other screen names / usernames are Kimura, which was the very first original anime-style character I drew up about 6 years ago in high school. As I've gotten better at drawing he's evolved as well, and basically become my online persona of sorts.

I really do like this car, it sounds like a real performer in both handling and power yet gets good fuel economy. While the exterior and interior aren't exactly fresh or (in the interior's case) very good, I'd much rather the money they sent go to performance than to making the interior baby-butt soft. Plus the (what looks like) black on white interior is pretty slick looking. I'm also glad that they finally put nice wheels on the Cobalt, the other wheel designs are nasty.

Certainly derivative but at the same time quite handsome.

I hate how every auto rag seems to think it's cool to assume this is a redneck car. BUt they're probably more interested in humping the Hyundai. The comments on that site are just stupid.

Because it's very functional. Kind of like how the Aztek appealed to people because of it's functionality...except the exterior of the Journey is at least pleasing to the eye.

The sports appearance package makes all the difference. Looks really sharp! Take some photos of it and the Sebring together dude. Does it drive any different than the Sebring?

I love black, the metallic is OK but I agree straight black is the best black. LH models "black" was more of a dark gray, which always disappointed me.

Speaking of which, there's a silver Fiero GT that just went up for sale.

:useless:

Not yet, it's been raining like crazy until this morning, knocked out the internet (OH NOES!11). Windy now, cold tomorrow...it'll wait a few days more I think.

I like having an automatic and a manual car. So i can choose to row my own gears (more fun) or let the car do the work (less fun but more relaxing) Manual can be a little tiring after a while when traffic is bad but I don't mind it for the most part. It's second nature to me. If I need to I can dial the phone, talk on the phone, drink or eat. Although I usually do one of those tasks when the car is stopped.

I dunno about edmunds...

I do wish Jeremy Clarkson would get his hands on it and destroy it.

It's $500, you can easily fix the small stuff inside yourself with a few trips to the junkyard, and when you are done with it sell it for a profit.

I'd rather have the Coupe 60

I like it from the rear, the proportions and the overall shape...not a fan of the character lines that don't lineup...the dip in the window is cool. The front needs work. Looks like a squinting IS. If they did some work to the nose it's be much better.

There is no resemblance to the Malibu, you're just pulling baseless opinions out of your ass again. The greenhouses are completely different, as are the character lines. By your logic a Silverado and Continental GT are similar because they have glass and a roof. Sad part is I can see you attempting to make that connection.

That looks really good. I also like the new wheel designs.

What did he have to say about the G8 and an Alpha Pontiac?

Buy a few BMW badges and stick them on a G8. It could work...they both have split grills and the G8's design is influenced by BMW. Throw in an M badge or 2 for good measure...it wouldn't be the first time someone put another brand's badge on a car.

Look at the teaser and see for yourself. Invivta is no doubt a concept LaCrosse, so it's on EPII whereas the Malibu is on EPI. You know a little research goes a long way.

I cannot stress enough how disgusted I am with how the car has become a scapegoat for emission, allowing the huge, filthy, unregulated factories and refineries to dump tons of CO2 and other toxic gases into the atmosphere. That is where much of the problem lies. How about aircraft? I'm sure those aren't economical, and I haven't heard anything about emissions control and improved fuel economy for them. The automotive industry is just a convenient scapegoat the politicians like to use because they're either pussies and don't challenge the real culprits or are getting their pockets lined by them.

I like the greenhouse a lot.

Best Analogy in a long time. I can't recall a single post of his that was meaningful/helpful/factual/useful.
