Intrepidation

Glad to see the Altima doing well. It's and excellent car, and one of my favorite midsizers. I have yet to see any of them though. Strangely, I've seen quite of few refreshed Maximas. I haven't seen too many Versas...but I've seen a lot of new Sentras...I saw 2 more just today.

Well said. These are the same people who bitched and moaned when the Charger wa brought back as a sedan not a coupe. They were totally oblivious that it was a modern, tough, RWD, pwerful car that Dodge could actually make profits with. All they cared about is that it wasn't retro and had 2 doors too many. Of course, there are people who now complain that the Challenger is too retro...some people will never be happy.

Ouch. That's a serious problem. I wish they'd investigate the 2.7L like what's in my car.

Code: I always liked this emote, and felt there were plenty of occaions where it would have come in handy. So what do you guys think? Would it make a viable add-on to the emoticon list?

I'm not sure if it's cheap, but it looks a bit out of place in the Titan. It looks good in the Pathfinder and Armada though. The Titan's interior easily surpasses the Tundra's now.

They sold 7 Freelanders in 2006 The GT sold more than that. The Mariner and Millan are doing well...although the MKZ is actually down despite upgrades...maybe cuz of the name change?

That's because he is. I hate MySpace. I had an account way back before it became a fad to have an account. I deleted it recently...besides I never used it anyway.

This idea has been around for a while. The most popular concept I know of is this one: Looks pretty good too.

The old one actually doesn't look that bad. But the new one is nicer, although I don't care for the lowering of all of the controls on the center stack....thank god they ditched that hideous steering wheel.

Well I called the dealership today that serviced the car for the previous owner. They told me it''s got regular oil in it, so today I added 2 quarts of Citgo 5W30 oil (is Citgo a pretty good oil brand?). I also asked if the car had any major issues and they told me that they never had any real problems with the car and that she took good care of it. That makes me feel good, but it also makes me want to get synthetic oil in their relatively soon.

4.9 for sure, forget the 4-banger

I would take the Aurora over the Riviera myself.

This goes to reinforce the stereotype that rednecks can't spell...for $h!. Man his grammar is almost as bad as his spelling

Panthers and that Ranger platform...which is how old now?

I have 2 great project cars...but no money and not enough know-how to do much work on them >.<

Hey, that interior looks pretty damn sharp!

I still don't like the exterior...or the dash...but those seats are sexy as hell. Not enough to make me consider the car though.

I'm not that sad to see them go. None of the current cars I care much for. The Impala is probably the best IMO...it has the least awkward proportions I think. The platform is pretty ancient, so it's nice to see it replaced by the RWD Zeta. But hey, at least GM is doing something about their old platforms. Can't say the same about Ford.

I can run off a hefty list I found of stuff DCX is hiding.

It's a storage bin...it's been on the Titan since debut....pretty clever.

+1 Thanks god it has a new steering wheel...I hated the old one

Yeah, I was planning on flushing the engine out. We did that to the Prizm since it had early stages of sludge buildup. For now I'm going to add Citgo 5W30 oil, just so it has enough. It really is on teh low side...I'm not sure why since I can't find any leaks...but I've read of the 2.7L going through oil faster than usual.

That's a pretty nice shade of blue. My only real problem with that body style, besides the interior, is that the rear end looks like a goofy face at night (the two outer lights make the eyes and the license plate area makes the gaping mouth). I can't find a good pic to show my point, but turn your lights on, and look at it directly from behind and you'll see what i mean

Sounds like I will. So since you know a lot about oil, how do I tell what is in there now?
