I love the Sport...I like the single piece bumper versus the other model's two piece unit. It looks very clean. The more I see it the more I like the monotone paint as opposed to the two tone paint. If I could get the Laramie's 2 tone interior with the Sport model I'd be all set...and the money of course :3 Wheels look great too.

Styling is subjective and also it alternates between whose get the better styling. `57-`59 Mopars had looked better than much of the competition at the time IMO. History tends to repeat itself in that the late mid to late 90's into 2005 or so Chrysler was again the styling leader in many respects IMO. LH cars, LX cars (compared with the ugly then boring Impala, the hideous last Malibu and the boring one before that), previous Dakota, and so on. Styling is subjective, but we can all agree that every company has it's highs and lows of automotive design, except maybe Honda and Toyota...which never really had many highs.

You're quite blind then. The more I see the Chevy less I like it. I still like it and would rate it above the Tundra and titan, but it looks busy in back and the front looks somewhat overwrought with the massive chrome grill. The HD versions are much worse though.Although it looks better with a monotone front end. The Sierra looks a lot better IMO. I wasn't sure about the exterior at first but after seeing more photos of it on allpar I like it a lot. I'm looking forward to some hi-res photos. I like how the Crew Cab is more manageable in size and looks far better proportioned, but that the Quad Cab model sticks around and has regular doors.

Wow, I absolutely love the interior this thing. They really did go all out. It does remind me of the F-150's interior but I like this better. Very nice earth tone color palette with its tans and browns highlighted by chrome and silver. I don't even mind the plood. Based on the image the materials looks very nice too...I like the stitching on the dash. Not a bad idea at all to borrow an element from the CTS. I like this philosophy they have for the Ram interior and think they should follow up with the rest of the lineup. The exterior looks like a nice evolution of the Ram...I like the Charger inspired grill which makes it look more aggressive, yet the truck looks handsome too. Looks to have a lot of neat features and upgrades too. Can't wait to see it in person.

Can't wait to see this baby riced out with 10's...they'll look massive. I think my snowblower has larger wheels. Look at the lack of cutlines in the dash, GM should take not

I like the look of the concept's headlights (and grill with its bowtie) better, so hopefully the production units will stick to that style. Other than that it looks awesome.

Priceless! Saw a broken down 2000 or so Accord with the hood up and flatbed getting ready to take it away.

Because I was too lazy to do it a month ago

We were a little upset they did a little more work without or consent and charged us for it, but it made sense in the end to prime and smooth it a bit, and they did do an excellent job, especially for what little they charged (for a body shop). There's a small dent in the passenger fender the first owner put in it when backing up into a post or mailbox or something, but that it. I would like to have the quarter panel smoothed out more finely, and then I'd just paint it myself, but all in good time (and funds). It does mean enough to us that we'd go the extra mile for it. Still, for now the primer isn't the gray stuff, so it doesn't look horribly out place. The car healed up quite well Finding the same color parts made all the difference. The Prizm sort of performs the roll of your LSS. It's used for Delivery and commuting more than the Intrepid to keep wear and tear off of it (in the case of work) and because it's so good on gas (in both cases). Plus it's easy to park it in tight spots, which it's always tight on campus. Since it's from Kansas the paint and body are in great shape with no rust at all. -
Head-on collision between Datsun & BMW...

SO are you taking the Datsun back to part it out or just leaving it? -
TCC: Cerberus Spins Nardelli’s Bankruptcy Talk
Intrepidation replied to VenSeattle's topic in Chrysler
From what I hear the Journey's interior materials are a vast improvement over offerings like the Avenger. Need I remind you Reg, just because you don't like it doesn't make it bad, especially if you're basing it just on looks. Charger sells at least as well as the Intrepid did, and besides the Magnum, the LX cars have been successful. Redesigns last I heard were scheduled for `09 or `10. Once more, you may not like the styling but we all know how your "tastes" are anyone. Lots of people do like the styling. Stratus wasn't exactly huge, in fact it wasn't really a serious contender after it was redesigned, but the Avenger and Sebring are flops that needs to be redesigned ASAP. However, until we new products being caught testing I'm not exactly hopeful for the future. We've yet to hear or see anything new since Cerberus took over. -
Merry Christmas!

Fixed, and since he was driving a BMW, odds are you can get a good chunk out of his stupid ass. -

Intrepidation replied to Sixty8panther's topic in The Lounge
Sucks, because from what I can see the BMW doesn't look like it's nearly as damaged. -

Aww, that poor Datsun! Stupid f@#king dumb $h!s who deserve nothing more than to be killed slowly with rusty knife. I'm so sorry this happened to you Sixty8, and that you're injured by it, hopefully you get all of the compensation you need and then some. -

Step up to the 3.5 and it should make you feel better. The 2.7 is just too small for cars that big. 3.5 gets you a far more spirited 250 hp and it gets you an extra cog in the transmission. Have you test driven both types of engines?

Sorry to hear about it Reg, but at least it's not totaled.

I like the Kia version better too.

Would you drive cars made in North Korea?

The front ends kind of remind me of the last gen Nissan Quest.
