The R class is a target, in my mind, though it's less trucky looking than the Enclave is. Wait, it's a lot worse looking than the Enclave is, too.

Instead of another laughing stock car, I think GM should not release the convertible. I doubt it will pull in as many sales as GM wants it to, especially with this screw up, and though it is a good idea, it's not executed properly. Just wait until the next-gen.

I think it does have a place in Acura's lineup. Honda believes young, successful people will buy it (and anyone else, too) and then they'll have Acura customers for life.

Like New Hope and Newtown?

I was in a choir for a few years when I was younger. I guess I can sing, I don't know anymore. I love music, though, to the point where if there was none I'd go insane. Concerts are hot. My last one was Elton John and I got the Sarah Brightman Live in Las Vegas DVD for Christmas. I'm kind of interested in hearing you sing, Frank.

I apologize for my comments.

Overrated.

LMFAO! He'd be hanging on Sixty's leg screaming his poem once "Joshie" was able to hide from him. And Mute, I'd be jumping on something but it wouldn't be the top of a van (make it an Astro).

The last 10 minutes of the Colts/Steelers came (all that I saw of it) was one hell of a rollercoaster ride and I don't care for either team. The Colts had a guardian angel on their side, especially with the Steeler fumble. They just couldn't pull it out, though. I felt bad for the kicker (last I can't spell) who looked like he was ready to burst out in tears at any minute. His kick was so off, though. His foot contacted the ball all wrong.

Uhhh, Ted Turner. I'm sure your cousin's cool, though.

What's the name of the restaurant? Philly has grown to be a food capital, one of its few claims to fame, lol. Anyway, just let me know because I'll definately meet up.

Gotcha. I honestly didn't know whether or not you were being serious after I reread your post after posting mine. Glad to hear it.

I like it and, like Ocn, especially in GTP form, especially in black. I like the Solara, too.

I'll reserve final judgement until I see the official photos. It does look better, though. More clean and upscale.

Damn, I did forget about the Solstice and Sky. Arguably the HHR, too. The only thing distinctive about the Vette is its sports car stance and performance, the rear and its history. I know I'll get flack for this but the other day I mistook some 90's coupe for a Corvette when I saw it from the front, head on. Then I walked past it and realized I was an idiot.

I think you need to find out how Airbus is funded. It may be lassiez faire but it's the European version of lassiez faire. We're talking tons of subsidies and loans to finance the company. After all, a number of countries started Airbus, it wasn't started by a group of entrepreneurs. I'm sure Boeing gets some government help, too, especially in the face of Airbus receiving it. Airbus' "superior" product is not that superior. The Boeing 777 costs less to run and is much more preferred among long-haul travellers than its Airbus counterpart. The new Boeing 787 really caught Airbus off-guard with its combination of specs (long range, high capacity, 20% less fuel) and the technology used to produce it. It's the fastest selling jet in history and allowed Boeing to gain more orders than Airbus in 2005 (over 1,000). Airbus is dumping so much money into the overweight and logistical nightmare A380 that it had to slap some new wings and tail on an existing airframe in order to compete. The Boeing 737 is the world's best selling jet and is preferred over its Airbus competitor by all but European airlines. The business model of both companies couldn't be any more different. Airbus believes people want to fly from major city to major city (hub and spoke system, layovers) with hundreds of other people on the same plane, dealing with the requisite baggage and embarking/disembarking headaches that accompany large aircraft like the A380. Boeing thinks people want to fly from their departure point directly to their destination without layovers on a midsize plane. Ask any industry rep and they'll tell you the hub and spoke system used by the major airlines since the start of jet travel is quickly falling out of favor due to traveller preference and airport congestion. Not to write a book on the subject, just to explain. I just think it's kind of weird that you support foreign aircraft manufacturers but not foreign car manufacturers, especially since Boeing and Airbus' parent company EADS do more than just make commercial aircraft.

I switched my major last week from business to history/politics. Drexel doesn't have two separate history and political science majors, it combined them. The math was killing me in business and, at first, I thought I'd be able to handle it but I came to this conclusion: I'd rather switch my major to something else that I enjoy and graduate with good grades instead of struggling through a major I enjoy and graduating with poor grades. I have to take a language, though. I'm thinking about Arabic or Chinese. Job prospects are high.

I haven't met up with anyone yet but there are a few people on my list. I may have to fly or drive for hours on end to make it happen but I think I can pull it off.

Aside from Cadillac, the Lucerene and new Tahoe, what current GM vehicles have style? Aside from Cadillac, what GM vehicles are original?

A Ute?

Bermuda Blue is going to be bright. I'd like to see that.

XLR is hot. I love how it looks in black with the metal and wood, very modern.

I'll be looking into that, good sir. Thanks.

Considering that most cars are more efficient on the highway rather than on city roads, I'd rate the Expedition and Dakota (though it's not a large SUV) as the worst of that bunch.

Thank you, fly.
