  1. Honoring all those that served.
  2. Yup. Only contributes to the comedic value.
  3. So what if you piss off a few to reach the overwhelming majority? 400,000 Fresnians are the butt of the 4,000,000 Los Angelinos and anyone else in the viewing market that identifies with that joke. And You tell them, Toyota. ps I thought it was funny.
  4. With the dollar being so low how come GM isnt exporting more cars?
  5. Yes, but how many of them matter? :wink: I kid, Im sure you would make a lovely business case.
  6. Heres one, How much weight do you give to advertising and if the first wave advertisement blitz for the Malibu fails to produce results what is the next step? I suppose thatd be directed at the president of GMNA, Troy Clark.
  7. No, the white trash cousin f@#ker makes a good point. Keep your distance from him and his backwards ass knuckle dragging hick friends that dont think its a slur. Besides everyone knows the Jews planned Pearl Harbor. *Note sarcasm as it doesnt always translate well over the computer. See, nothing wrong with stereotypes,
  8. Gm doesnt have a minivan to compare. Gm said their crossover will replace the minivan. They suggested a Dodge so are there varying degrees of media bias against domestics or did they write this before Cerberus took over? as a side note, they said the hyundai compared to the Lexus is a steal--
  9. Not sure what youre asking, but this tutorial covers the basics of C
  10. Global Internet Shutdown ..We deeply regret that a back-up of the internet does not exist at this time. We had always meant to get around to making one.
  11. Don't infer something I didnt say. I dont care why their numbers are low, I merely stated thats what they should look like. Yes, I do but Im not talking about GM or Ford. The chrysler fleet sales are ridiculous even by Detroits standards and so I dont wind up in one of these Vietnams that already have taken place thats all I have to say on this. Ive been down that road before and generally speaking it takes away from the site, even if you are having fun throwing peanuts or however you put it.
  12. Forget production numbers... For 2006, 46% of Dodge sales were fleet. For 2006, 42% of Chrysler sales were fleet. For 2006, 21.2% of Jeep sales were fleet. 2006 Fleet Sales percentage: Chrysler Sebring sedan: 72.4% Chrysler Sebring Conv: 75.7% Chrysler Crossfire: 29.2% Chrysler PT Cruiser: 50.2% Chrysler PT Cruiser Conv: 37.8% Chrysler 300: 27.6% Chrysler T&C: 25.7% Chrysler Pacifica: 34% Chrysler Aspen: 9% Dodge Stratus: 84.6% Dodge Charger: 37.3% Dodge Magnum: 51.6% Dodge Caravan: 45.3% Dodge Caliber: 35% Dodge Nitro: 50.6% Dodge Dakota: 17.3% Dodge Durango: 37.1% Dodge Ram: 9.6% Dodge Sprinter: 36.1% Jeep Compass: 11.5% Jeep Liberty: 28.6% Jeep Grand Cherokee: 24.9% Jeep Commander: 14.5% ------ Ouch thats pretty bad. And of those retail sales how many are purchased by employees. That is a grim picture and the new management doesnt look up to the task. Ill keep the fingers crossed for their sake but thats just bad news. They should all look like Jeeps numbers.
  13. Is that possible? Not GM affording it but red tape or contract BS?
  14. I think they are saying their cars have been ignored for too long. Its a comment about the people not noticing not a comment on quality. Its a matter of interpretation I suppose. Funny, but it should be more clear cut. And why would you use a camry or accord? Almost a million people a year notice those enough to buy one.
  15. Renault, Toyota, VW Lead European Car Sales Decline (Update2) By Laurence Frost and Chad Thomas Oct. 16 (Bloomberg) -- European car sales fell in September on weaker demand for Renault SA, Toyota Motor Corp. and Volkswagen AG models as declines in Germany and Spain undermined buoyant business in eastern Europe. New car registrations fell 1.5 percent to 1.42 million vehicles from 1.44 million a year earlier, the Brussels-based European Automobile Manufacturers Association said today in a statement. Sales for the first nine months of the year gained 0.8 percent to 12.2 million. European carmakers are looking east for customers amid sagging demand in home markets. A 9.5 percent jump in eastern European sales was not enough to make up for September's 2.1 percent drop in western Europe, which still accounts for most sales. ``One has to wonder if there's a deep malaise in the volume market,'' said Stephen Pope, head of equity research at Cantor Fitzgerald in London. ``Cars aimed at above-average buyers are fine, but mid-market brands are battered.'' Renault, France's second-biggest carmaker, recorded an 11 percent slump in European sales to 105,100 vehicles as customers shunned its aging models. The Laguna III mid-sized car, which went on sale last week, is only the second of 26 new Renault vehicles promised by 2009. Toyota, Volkswagen Japan's Toyota had a 7.2 percent decline to 78,479. Sales by Volkswagen, Europe's largest carmaker, fell 6.8 percent to 259,160. The Wolfsburg, Germany-based carmaker's drop ``indicates growing product-cycle pressures,'' Citigroup analyst John Lawson said in a note to investors. VW's Golf compact is due for an update next year. The Spanish market ``downsized considerably,'' the association said, with registrations falling 7.7 percent to 96,751. Germany's 11 percent decline, to 265,473 units, was exacerbated by a January sales-tax increase that caused a rush to buy cars in the last quarter of 2006. Eastern European sales growth was powered by 20 percent gains in both Poland and Romania, where Renault assembles its no-frills Logan sedan under the Dacia brand. Paris-based PSA Peugeot Citroen SA, Europe's second-largest carmaker, reported a 3.5 percent drop to 169,765 vehicles in September. Peugeot says it expects sales to get a boost in subsequent months from its 308 subcompact, which went on sale Sept. 20. GM, Fiat, BMW General Motors Corp., Daimler AG, Fiat SpA and Bayerische Motoren Werke AG all posted September sales gains. Detroit-based GM saw registrations advance 6.3 percent to 158,885 for the month, while Ford Motor Co.'s rose 1.1 percent to 170,047. Daimler sales gained 5.7 percent to 79,580 units. Earlier in the year, the company rolled out new versions of the Mercedes C- Class sedan and a two-seat Smart car. Fiat, based in Turin, Italy, recorded 99,150 registrations, up 4.2 percent, lifting its market share to 7 percent from 6.6 percent on deliveries of the new Bravo compact, available since February, and the Grande Punto and Panda models. Fiat has increased European sales 21 months in a row. BMW, the world's biggest maker of luxury cars, had a 3.7 percent sales increase to 88,036 vehicles, boosted by its new X5 SUV and Mini small car. The Mini posted a 39 percent increase in registrations to 17,225 vehicles in September. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=con...id=aEevnqEjczQo What a crazy world.
  16. Now thats how you advertise. Field test click Looks pretty solid to me.
  17. Good. And it should lock the doors seal the windows and blast Celine Dion or Michael Bolton through the radio.
  18. The beginning of the end. The end of what I have no idea.
  19. Its the tail lights. It looks safe. They may as well graft traffic cones to the backside and call it a day.
  20. I watched a cab burn to the ground last week or two. Talk about emissions. Oh yeah, they should get the hybrid buses here asap. No excuse not to have those everywhere.
