I'm gonna pull a flag on that... :bs: the definition of an overdrive is one where the driveshaft spins faster then the rpm of the motor... on both of my f-bodys the gears are... 1rs...3.059 2nd..1.625 3rd...1.000 4th(overdrive)0.696 Reverse...2.294 that makes mine 4 different gears and reverse... Trucks have overdrives... not cars...

but they do generally take a 10-15% decrease from the results... so some error is accounted for..

no the company will run the tests do all the work for the EPA... they present the vehicle with its results and the EPA will aprove of it... the EPA also tells consumers to not expect the results posted... as they gennerally dont take into account the average drivers habbits

starting tomarrow December 3rd... 0% intrest upt to 72 months will be avalible instead of the rebate with Tahoes and Suburbans, probably also GMC's and similar vehicles... but... Here you go... Tell your friends...

The ratings are presented from the automakers...

my life story... as a Chevrolet Salesman

lol i put my trans am to about 155 the other day... thats some scary crap... and braking... forget it... although those 300C's and what not have killer brakes

Okay, I just glanced at the Solstice review in the pontiac section and it said fuel ecconomy of 20-28 20 on the street and 28 on the highway... where as the miata is 24-28 24 on the street and 28 on the highway... for most of GM models it seems their city mileage is below everyone elses where as the highway mileage is competative... Why is there such a big gap on GM vehicles?

2 reasons... well one isnt really a reason, but I've heard it before and 2... PR... Toyota wants people to know they are the best thing the apposable thumb... so they are bragging about anything and everything... but to GM this is all old news...

I find it interesting, i was looking at Silverado sales... november to november... Silverado-C/K Pickup 37,633 39,982 -9.6 hrmm... someone else do the math for me... but thats not 9.6 percent drop okay... thats 9.6 percent... why dont they just advertise that only a 6% drop so it seems like a better month? 37,633 for 25 days... thats 1505.32 a day 39,982 for 24 days... thats 1665.91 a day -9.6

just cause its selling better, doesnt mean a better model couldnt top that...

wow i didnt realize they only sell a couple dozen H1's a month... Is the millitary still buying Humvees? but another thing is the H2 part of the GMT900? will it be redesigned? Cause as sales sag it shows it needs a new design...

yep... =) i've gotta throw some more money in there too... but i lack the funds right now

:rotflmao: LOL those Hyundai Elantras that come with standard side impact seem to be worthless then! LOL all of those cars are awesome sellers... and all imports :Toyota: HAHA :rotflmao:

Car sales were down 3 percent and truck sales were off 16 percent. Total sales were up 14 percent compared to October levels. "November was stronger than October for GM and the industry, but certainly not a barn burner," said Mark LaNeve, vice president, GM North America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "We saw improvement throughout the month and look forward to finishing the year with continued sales momentum." LaNeve went on to point out the positive impact of new products, like the Chevrolet Impala and HHR, Pontiac G6 and Buick LaCrosse. "In our business, the bottom line is great product," he added. "Our new vehicles are hitting home, which gives us confidence as we get ready to introduce 19 new products in 2006, many of them in key, high-volume segments." The revitalized GM mid-size car lineup has been gaining sales momentum in recent months, with November deliveries up 9 percent. Sales of the most recent addition to the category, the Chevrolet Impala, were up 14 percent, posting a new November sales record. Dealer orders have been brisk, exceeding original expectations. Pontiac G6 in November achieved its best-ever sales month, with more than 14,000 deliveries and a 56 percent improvement over October sales. Pontiac sales were up 11 percent in November.

Small sport utility vehicle sales in November were up 35 percent, led by the new Chevrolet HHR, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Vue. Torrent sales have improved each month since its August launch, with November sales 26 percent greater than October. Despite constrained inventories, HHR had its second-best sales month since launch, with deliveries up 9 percent over October. An 18 percent sales increase for the new Saturn Vue also contributed to the solid sales results in the small utility category. Saturn sales in November were up 12 percent. H3, the new mid-size HUMMER, continues to drive record sales for the division and positions HUMMER as the fastest-growing brand in the industry for the calendar year-to-date. HUMMER sales in November were up 114 percent and for the calendar year are up 90.5 percent. Certified Used Vehicles November sales for all certified GM brands, including GM Certified Used Vehicles, Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, Used Cars from Saturn and Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, were 42,455 units, down 8.5 percent.

What are you talking about fanatics... Toyota is evil :P :Toyota:

okay perhaps not trivia... but all you search monkeys can help me out my friend is looking for a GM part number for the Cadillac V-series grill on the STS... He needs the uper and lower part numbers... I cant seem to find a vin# of a STS... so maybe you guys would know the part numbers...

alright my first correctly answered trivia question...

They didnt make a 96 525...

isnt it amazing what a salesman can do... salesmen and advertising must work hand in hand... otherwise, you end up like GM...

most people i ask say about 45... but i've heard as low as 22

the problem with the prius is... The average user who realizes that the vehicle is a better investement then any other car... is probably one who is unlikely able to calculate accual fuel ecconomy... because if they can see that the vehicle costs a great deal more, and they still think its worth it, when a breaking even point is about 10+ years hopping the battery will last that long... they might as well post a billboard along the freeway that says Profit $100,000,000,000 and counting... Hybrid Synergy Drive

hrmm... should GM even try to do that with the Hybrid Buses? talk about fuel ecconomy savings...

Sales have definatly rebounded from october... October we were doing 16 cars in a weekend... OMG!!! november we saw a 55 and a 40 and a 35... but keep in mind, when the last remodel of the tahoe and silverado came out we were doing 70 average on a weekend... not just 40... so when these new Lutz inspired GMT900s comeo out I will expect 80-90 cars per weekend out of our dealership... and at full pop too... no discounts...

I cant believe the chinese are accually going to buy the japanese products
