Oracle of Delphi

They have mistaken my hairy legs for pants!

Since the Loonie has risen as high as it has, and the health care breaks the UAW has given GM, GM needs to move production south ASAP. This will be a long drawn out battle I'm afraid with Oshawa being the loser.

That will not happen, just sit back and keep watching the show.

Shall I send GME doctors to tend to your wounds? Just say the word!

I'm just a man, I put my pants on one leg at a time just like most of you!

Stephen Downer Automotive News January 25, 2008 - 2:41 pm ET MEXICO CITY -- General Motors on Thursday, Jan. 24, said it has opened a $50 million hot weather test track in Cupuan del Rio in western Mexico. The town has an average air temperature throughout the year of 90 degrees. The track is 3.5 miles long and is on 4,447 acres between the coastal resort of Zihuatanejo, in the state of Guerrero, and the Michoacan state capital of Morelia. GM, which employs 134 at the track, said it started looking for a location in 2000. Fifty potential sites were considered before Cupuan was selected. EDIT: CD, if you need me to translate, my Spanish is muy bueno.

Rick Kranz Automotive News January 25, 2008 - 3:29 pm ET DETROIT -- The Canadian Auto Workers union local representing employees at General Motors' Oshawa, Ontario, assembly plant is threatening to strike this fall unless the automaker confirms additional products and jobs. CAW Local 222 warned GM on Thursday that the automaker is not living up to promises made in 2006 to build other models there besides the Chevrolet Camaro, the Toronto Star reported earlier today. The CAW's contract with GM expires Sept. 17. Camaro production begins in February 2009. Besides that car, the plant had been expected to assemble other new rear-wheel-drive models. The plant currently assembles the front-drive Chevrolet Impala and Buick LaCrosse on three shifts. In 2006, union members ratified concessions to reduce costs, create a flexible assembly plant and secure future vehicles. But the CAW said GM now wants additional concessions to ensure future models, the newspaper reported. A GM spokesman said future products for Oshawa are in flux. " Between the time we made the decision to make the investment in the flex plant and move forward with the new competitive offering agreement and Camaro, a huge amount has changed," said Stew Low, director of communications for GM of Canada. " The loonie has soared to parity and beyond, and nobody anticipated a 35 mpg (CAFE) standard," Low told Automotive News. " The union is focused on new product programs and jobs -- and guess what, so are we." No timetable was given for an announcement. In its recently negotiated contract with the UAW, GM agreed to an array of product commitments to U.S. plants over the next several years.

Happy Birthday Guys!

Accurate enough to make most here squeal like little girls. All that whine and no cheese, what a shame.

That was some of my tongue N cheek humor, it will really be frog farts.

Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?

I love it spicy, just ask my wife! Oops wrong kind of spicy, but the same rule applies.

Thai? I love Thai. Thai, Thai, Thai! Oh sorry you feel bad too!

I had a good teacher when it comes to going over the edge.

Oh maybe we could ride together, now wouldn't that be an interesting 2 hour ride? That is if I agreed to pick you up and you agreed to get in!

I'm not the timekeeper, I'm just reminding you that time is slipping away, and with it all your dreams and desires will go with it. By 2020 the V8 will be dead. The V6 may be dead for vehicles under 8,500 GVWR and Americans and Europeans will be driving the same f'ing cars because of CAFE and the ECE CO2 regulations coming on line in 2011. We will all be driving plug in hybrids powered by eel farts. Are you ready? I am.

Satty, you might want to rethink that, after seeing how Heath Ledger was found. Just a thought.

Like I said, the site I linked to and your article are somewhat behind the times. The Solstice Targa for 09 is alive and well in Wilmington, in 08. Oh and please refer to me as PCS or Pontiac Custom-S, your choice, because Custom is not a name I use. It reminds of the Ford Custom 500, not a car I liked, but I doubt you would remember it, it was way before your time. :AH-HA_wink:

Yes and if donkeys had wings they would fly. NG G8? You'll be lucky if this generation sees two model years.

Excuse me but I have a question, you say you are a buyer who appreciates a car that delivers: 1. exceptional space (it doesn't have to be a land barge, mind you, just enough space behind the seats to bring some friends or family along for a trip or to haul around a few bags of things from the store), 2. exceptional performance, and 3. exceptional design (the deal breaker). That's all very nice, but what new car have you ever bought that has all those things? I don't mean your parents or Grandma, etc, but you, yourself. I am interested in knowing what you have bought in the past. I'm just curious.

Hey poly, they think there isn't Solstice Targa coupe in existence, I bet you and i can find one or two in Wilmington if we look hard enough.

Yawn, y'all be better off looking at this but even this is not up to date! http://www3.sympatico.ca/tedkrygier/future.htm

I haven't a clue as to what that's supposed to mean, but hey, English is not my 1st language.

You may change your mind when gas prices are 8 bucks or more a gallon like the Europeans, you just may cry UNCLE!

I doubt you will want to be humming around in your new Electric car either, but until then small cars with diesel will have to do.
