Oh...

GMC will not have a minivan. That would be the death of the division.

Edit: Secondly, didn't September 11, 2001 actually fuel the economic slowdown, help raise oil prices and the deficit?

I think the Ion name would be dumped because of the images it brings to mind. As long as Saturn gets the Opel, I say "bye, bye" Ion.

I would think seat separation from the floor would happen quite regularly in this type of accident. Still, that photo is pretty bad.

The same could be said about a Benz driver (arrogant with money) and a Wrangler (arrogant jock). The Prius, and all hybrids, for that matter, has the arrogant enviromentalist image.

The engine was the only strong selling point until the redesigned VUE was launched. Now, it has pretty much the entire package and the engine is still competitive. In all honesty, I really don't think an engine upgrade would be worth it. Would Honda go along with it? Of course, we do not know what that contract looks like.

My dad's 80's Toyota truck lasted well over 200,000 miles and the only reason he got rid of it was due to body rust. Everyone will have different experiences. Your truck lasted a long time and even post warranty Toyota paid for what happened, known engine problems or not. That is luck.

The Sky RL makes me want to ditch the xB, go out and get a car loan. Sex on wheels.

My mistake. I have never seen an Altima with wood trim and, judging by that photo, I don't think I do. I guess Nissan's "image" makes wood trim seem weird. Even Infiniti, to an extent.

There is your clue as to why the Prius is struggling in Europe. A few years ago, car sales (actual sedans, coupes, etc) were struggling in the U.S. because of the popularity of SUVs and trucks. Hybrids have shown that they get better mileage than regular vehicles.

How many trims are there? Base, SE, GT and GTP? Where did SE come from? It would be nice to have a 6-speed auto standard on all V6 models and side airbags available on all trims. GM does not seem to know what engines it wants in this car.

A tan interior is currently available so a lighter color has to be coming with the new one. I am not so sure about wood trim, though. It would surprise me.

Awww...boo hoo.

This story makes no sense.

It is getting much better. Just look at the products now and compare to a few years ago, no more than a decade. Improvement is still needed in certain segments and some decisions, like no I4 or real manual in the Aura, make some of us scratch our heads. Interiors are still a sore point on must cars, too, IMO. The media bias claims get old whenever a review comes in and people have to jump on it. Some will like the car and others will not. People jumped on Edmunds because the power steering failed in the Lucerne (which is now being recalled for it, though I have not seen anything in the media...gasp!) and they liked a higher-end model that they initially tested over the one they received for a long-term test.

The previous-gen Avalon had the style, too.

I went to London for spring break. It was an awesome, though expensive trip. I really think companies just put the pound sign in place of the dollar and that's how they price their goods. For example, a typical Burger King meal (I did not eat it but sat by one at a bus station) was 3.XX pounds. That is roughly $6. Taxes are outrageous, too. The smallest VAT (like a sales tax) was 16% and the highest I paid was 24%. I loved it, though. Changing of the guard was amazing (I love the pomp and circumstance-type stuff) and so was Windsor Castle. The official family vacation is Captiva, Florida for a week in August. Not to brag or anything but the house has an elevator. Vacation homes are usually cheaper in south Florida during the summer because it is the low season so you can get some tricked out homes for good prices.

Thanks for the information. I think the Vue Greenline is more of a hybrid than the Accord Hybrid and they are both mild.

Weren't they always competitors?

That's a better picture of the exterior. I change my last comment...it is not good.

Is this a stretched Theta? Looks longer...

That would have been one thing I changed.

Definately worthless.

This isn't all-new, is it? That would be like the 10 all-new vehicle that does not look like it. The engine is the only positive point, I think. The interior is nothing special. I like the current styling (inside and out) better. This just looks weird.
