keep up the good work, i'm starting a file of all of these problems so when my dad replaces his camry i'll have evidence to show him he should replace it with a toyota... i remember in 98 he was almost upset enough to never purchase another because the tires only lasted 6k miles...

i think the 3 door one looks nice... the 5 door looks too much like the already existant aveo...

the hood seems to stand a little taller to me... also it seems a little wider then the tahoe... but then again this is the 3/4 ton chassis, hence the 8 lugs... so perhaps the 1/2 ton will share a little narrower stance as the tahoe...

i dont think it was the cladding that people liked, i think it was the rugged design of the exterior... it was a completely different profile... people liked the agreesiveness i think... i remember the first time i saw a non cladded one... i was like thats beautiful... yet still i like the cladding... they just serve as different styles... ones ruff and rugged the other is refined and elegant

the only portion of bankrupt GM is considering or anyone believes GM ought to consider, is chapter 11... restructuring... this voids GM's legal contracts, it does not void GM of any bills or pass dued payments... so the advantage to GM filling chapter 11... is to remove of the ever so hindering UAW... in return would probably force workers to work at half the wage with half the benifits and make a huge amount of profits... allowing it to pay off its debts... but we know that wont happen...

lets go with an O

i remember reading this somewhere on the net or on this site. but apparently a politician, i'm not sure whether it was a govenor the president or just a senate or something, told Chevrolet to reduce their prices. And Chevrolet Responded that they couldnt otherwise they would ruin the competition, and put them out of business... i'm pretty sure these words were exchanged durring the 40-60's. but i'm not sure when or who said them... if someone knows plz post the quote correctly and date

it looks big in pictures, but when you start walking up to it... looks kinda small... looks like the same chassis as the new IS... which is the same size as the corolla or so...

Z71's have been replaced by LTZ's... as to my understanding Z71 is a thing of the past... as for the claddling... according to GM... 80% of buyers didnt like it anyway, so it will not be avalible at least for 2007...

i guess no body likes this game... put some more things to guess...

i dont know but this just hit the fan... front page news.... 190 million

as i approched this brand new red camry... I was thinking... well lets take a look at this i havent seen one up close and in person yet. so lets take a good look at this toyota... as i got closer, i started to question that it was a camry... keeping in mind its red, a color that often makes things look larger then they accually are. as i got closer i started thinking, is this really a camry... it looks more like the size of a corolla, and as i started looking at the front end and the interior space, i start thinking... well i wasnt aware of a redesign on the corolla quite yet... maybe its a yaris... well, its a bit big for a yaris i suppose... its probably a corolla, and as i make my way to the rear of the car, sure enough ... Camry seems so small compared to the current model.

_ _ _ _ _ _ // _ _ _ _ _ best selling car

GM is trying to increase its resale value... because who wants a car that when you drive it off the lot it looses 50% of its value? by cutting fleet you have less used cars running around 3-9 months later... they are still selling Aleros... but apparently they are selling negative amounts of Chevy classics... i guess financing didnt go through for one lucky bastard...

i have a feeling that ceo of NA will be losing his job... as this will get paid off...i really hope this girl keeps up the news... dont let damage control buy this over

http://media.gm.com/servlet/GatewayServlet...=74&docid=25435 GM Reports 345,404 Deliveries in April Launch Vehicle Sales Continue to Gain Momentum, Led by All-New Full-Size SUVs Chevy Tahoe Sales Up 35 Percent, Paced by Best Sales-To-Date of 2007 Model Cadillac Escalade Sales Rise 127 Percent; GMC Yukon Sales Up 36 Percent Full-Size Pickup Sales Rise 4 Percent DETROIT - General Motors dealers in the United States sold 345,404 new cars and trucks in April, down 7 percent compared to year-ago levels. Total car sales were down 18 percent, and truck sales were up 2 percent. GM's retail sales in April were down 5 percent compared to year-ago deliveries. Fleet sales were down 10.5 percent. Daily rental sales declined by 23 percent compared to last year. "Given that the industry came in somewhat below our initial expectations, we are pleased that our retail sales were in line with the targets established in our North America turnaround plan," said Mark LaNeve, General Motors North America vice president, Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "Consumers continue to respond very favorably to our new products, particularly the all-new Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade, resulting in a combined 15 percent sales increase compared to last month." Total sales of all GM launch vehicles were up 5 percent compared to March and accounted for 28 percent of GM's total deliveries for the month. The success of GM's launch vehicles is another critical component of GM's North America restructuring plan. Despite increases in fuel prices and contrary to industry trends, GM posted a 2 percent improvement in total truck deliveries, driven by continuing strong sales results for its all-new full-size sport utility vehicles and full-size pickups. Chevrolet Tahoe sales were up 35 percent in April. Of the 13,138 total deliveries, 10,607 were 2007 models. GMC Yukon posted a 36 percent sales gain in April, with 5,978 total deliveries. There were 4,862 2007 Yukon deliveries. April sales of the 2007 model were 48 percent greater than March results. Cadillac Escalade sales improved dramatically, with a 127 percent improvement over last year. There were 4,109 total sales, of which 3,258 were the all-new 2007 model. 2007 Escalade sales in April rose 23 percent compared to March. Chevrolet Silverado deliveries rose 9 percent in April, and GMC Sierra sales were up 4 percent. The continuing strength of GM's full-size pickups is noteworthy, given that the product is approaching the end of its lifecycle. The new full-size pickups begin arriving in dealers' showrooms in the fourth quarter of this year. LaNeve explained that the impact of the recent upward movement in fuel prices is being partially offset by the fuel economy leadership across GM's lineup, particularly its industry-leading truck and utility portfolio. "We know that fuel economy is an important issue for consumers, and every tenth of a gallon improvement counts," LaNeve said. "We worked hard during the development of our new large utilities to squeeze out every possible ounce of fuel savings, and the result was the best fuel economy in the segment. Combine this with the E85 capability of these vehicles, which reduces America's dependency on oil, and you've got a significant, measurable benefit for all consumers." GM's newest entries in the small sport utility category also contributed to the improvement in overall truck sales. Chevrolet HHR and Equinox and Pontiac Torrent posted solid results. HHR had its best-ever sales month and Equinox achieved record April sales. The new Saturn Vue continued its sales momentum with its eleventh consecutive month of year-over-year sales increases (+25 percent). HUMMER posted a year-over-year sales record for the twelfth consecutive month, with total sales up 231 percent. Retail deliveries rose 210 percent. H3 continues to drive HUMMER's record-setting pace and leads the entry luxury utility segment by a wide margin. Saturn posted a year-over-year sales gain of 14 percent with retail sales up 3 percent. The improvement was led by a solid sales month for Vue and Ion. The first sales of Saturn Sky (612) were recorded in April. Demand for the all-new two-seat roadster continues to outpace supply, with vehicles remaining on dealers' lots an average of only 10 days. Saab also posted a sales gain compared to year-ago levels (+3 percent). Its retail deliveries were up 10 percent, paced by deliveries of the 9-7X. Certified Used Vehicles April sales for all certified GM brands, including GM Certified Used Vehicles, Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, Used Cars from Saturn, Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles and HUMMER Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, were 46,735 units, up nearly 7 percent from last April. Total year-to-date certified GM sales are 175,580 units, comparable to the same period last year. GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling manufacturer-certified used brand, posted 40,562 sales, up 10 percent from last April. Year-to-date sales for GM Certified Used Vehicles are 153,052 units, up 2 percent from the same period in 2005. Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted 3,572 sales in April, up 8 percent from last year. Used Cars from Saturn sold 1,773 units, down 32 percent. Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 713 units, down 19.5 percent. In its fourth month of operation, HUMMER Certified Pre-Owned sold 115 units. "The industry's top-selling certified brand, GM Certified Used Vehicles, continues to lead all manufacturer-certified programs, with one of its strongest sales months ever," LaNeve said. "GM Certified sold 40,562 units for the month, up 10 percent from last April. This is a terrific start to the second quarter and marks the second consecutive month that GM Certified sales have surpassed the 40,000-unit mark."
