^ It IS unprecedented in history: Government "paying" you via a tax credit, to buy a private (IE: not Gov't) company's product. What ever happened to Separation of Company & State? ;)

EVERYBODY is "planning on being profitable", yet the gutters & storm drains of history are PACKED with failures.

Makes sense to build it as a 4-dr- audi only managed to find 83 buyers for the TT in August. It's completely dead- it needs something (or -more sensibly- abrupt cancellation).

Sales of the japanese/Korean entry level market cars are ALSO down. Question is, who moved quicker to head off the inevitable?

yeah- no WAY is that a 136" wheelbase. It would really help if the dimensions were expressed 'bi-systematically'. SUV looks fairly good from the rear, side & proportionally, but I'm not liking the front end at ALL.

these last 15 years.

GM pulled down $2.5 billion in net profit last quarter. They're not remotely flirting with either bankruptcy or asking for a bailout, and they're not in the same hemisphere they were the single time they ever asked for a 'loan guarantee' in their then 100-year history (of which saw numerous recessions).

Shouldn't they be flags of Japan? Embrace who you are, no? - - - - -

Don't think cars use TRQ too? Interesting.

Dude, the Tundra's been here since 1999! "They did" is what you meant to say. How's that working out for toyota?

Have to take these early 'factory' pics with a few grains of salt. The shot of the interior shows NO DOORS nor any hinges for doors, therefore it doesn't seem to be a 'production' truck. Things are going to change and 'real world' camera shots may well tell a markedly different story. Narrow center console is a HUGE plus IMO- they've grown increasingly fatter and take measureable space from the 2 outer seating spots. People think they need a microwave-sized console for some dumb-assed reason. RHall makes a good point about the dead space in front of it, tho. I have a split bench with a fold-down, and I built a tray to sit on the trans tunnel to hold a bunch of stuff. Overall, despite the weird styling and the omission of a bed (to speak of), it looks pretty well finished and thought out. The issue is, yet again, a totally noncompetitive price. By the by, I've already added the word 'frunk' to the list of words I refuse to use. You said this truck's numbers "crush all other V8 trucks" and they don't. Perhaps you misspoke. Yet again.

Come again?? DuraMax V8 : 910 TRQ PowerStroke V8 : 935 TRQ Cummins (ya; it's a 6) : 925 TRQ

It'd be a refreshing change if VW hired some stylists and breathed SOME whisper of life into the exterior of Bentleys. Equal parts bloated blockiness and generic ugliness certainly leaves a 1000 miles' room for improvement.

Bowling Green comes readily to mind.

Stupidity?

I have 4 V8 vehicles : 239, 389, 403, 470. Also have 4 spare engines : 291, 330, 455, 455. That's 3,032 cubic inches in my arsenal. ? - - - - -

2-dr wagon... with FINS ?

^ The only good displacement is cubic inches. My SIlverado has a 403.

Nice; Flowmasters? What motor is in this buggy? I have a Holley 4150 1050 a-waitin on the shelf...

OoooooO - look at all the colors! ;)
