Chrysler 300C Pullman
For some reason when I saw the name, it made me think it's a pickup version of the 300C. Minus the wheels, it looks nice.

Buyer Beware!
As far as I know, HP Compaq and Dell order from the same OEMs: Quanta and Compal. Taiwanese OEM laptop companies. I wouldn't go with either. If I want one of those, I'm better off getting a whitebox laptop from the smaller computer shops. IBM-Lenovo, Toshiba, Asus, Fujitsu all make their own. My ManSci class did a presentation about Dell, and we found that a lot of problems for laptops came from outsourcing, that leads to QA problems.

Buyer Beware!
Thinkpads or Asus are the way to go these days... My 6 year old Thinkpad 240Z, online 24/7 yet still going strong...

When You See a Car...
Didn't notice this at first... Looks as if Chris Bangle took over the Millenia, then put Lexus badges on it.

2007 G5 review
I think he's just making the point on BOF, not RWD.

Spied: 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe [updated 11/21]
It doesn't make sense more even to have a 350Z get the corporate face. That's like rebodying a Corvette to look like a Cobalt. 350Z is to an extent Nissan's halo car and should not look just like all the other cars in the lineup.

How can you change someone's mind?
Well, my co-worker isn't really looking into a car right now, I just see her bashing about my car as well at times. And the problem is though, they sound as if they would even refuse to test drive. dart: I do agree... to certain extent. I still tell people who are looking for used cars to avoid them like the plague, especially used rentals.

How can you change someone's mind?
I have a coworker and my boss, both were troubled by Cavaliers and swear that they won't get another American car. How would it be possible to talk them back into a domestic? My co-worker has a '94 Cavalier (looks like a VL sedan) that dies often on her, and has now primarily drives a Mazda3. My boss has a '98 Cavalier Z24. Both of them are very unhappy about the reliability of the cars. What's worse, my boss was actually talked away from the Cobalt by her neighbour, who appears to work at GM. I've seen this case alot, too. And usually the same suspects as well: J-bodies.

Spied: 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe [updated 11/21]
A lot of G6, and blows the Solara into the water. Not to mention the price difference. I can assure that nobody will buy this thing if it's anywhere near the price of a G35 coupe.

AHHHHH!!!!!!! Scary Cars! Booo!
A black '07 Avalanche LTZ yesterday... My feeling is: Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've Fallen in Love With) And a black '07 Yukon XL Denali

2007 G5 review
I'm actually warming up to the G5. I'm starting to like the rear, but I still don't like the front. Give it a different nose, and reshape the decklid part, and you'll have a nice little coupe.

A Pontiac LeMans... a.k.a. Passport Optima or Daewoo Racer. Haven't seen these things in years.

What if...
Previously I heard from somewhere, that they are actually trying to ramp up the production of the 6-speed so that they can proceed to actually replace the 4T45s and 4T65s.

Choppin' Competition #30 - Next Pontiac Vibe
Built on Delta, expect a 2.4L Ecotec.

Boosted: 2008 Chevy Cobat SS Turbocharged
F40 is the same 6-speed manual as the G6 and the Saab 9-3. I'm willing to guess the LAP is the 2.2L Hybrid, given that the RPO code for the 2.4 Hybrid is LAT. http://media.gm.com/us/powertrain/en/produ.../2007/07car.htm BTW, is it still GMX001 all the way up till 2009??

What if...
I should've used the quote feature. I was referring to Northie, not you. He said it was only available on the high-end Aura, which I corrected him that the G6 has it too. Your statement is correct. The 3.6L only appears on the GTP, which is the highest trim on the G6.

Entry Level: GM Product Guru Hints at New Cadillac
Don't forget the rumours: EP II is FWD, RWD, and AWD. I really hope it's true. Something along the lines of an A4 would be great.

What if...
Dimensions info in this release: http://www.gm.com/company/gmability/adv_te...tic_060106.html Don't know the dimensions for the 4T45.
-
What if...
This statement is incorrect already. The G6 has the 3.6L 6-speed combo. But yeah, I'm with everyone. Put it on the base models too. I'm actually interested what the 6-speed can do for the 2.4L Ecotec.

A 2007 Pontiac Wave in the absolutely wrong color: white. The tacked on grille is clearly visible.
