I see a squared off R Class or B class.

I'll probably get back to Ya!!

So now your garage looks like Red Neck Yard of the week? That makes 3 right, or 4?

Close minded people ignore anything which they do not want to open their mind to. The new album is nothing short of brilliant. It is bringing me back to the Metal which I seemed to abandon partially because nothing good was going on.

Considering how much the 3er tanked the C did not do bad in fact it gained in the entry level luxury. Others are notably nothing to talk about. M Classe Up???

I think it is bland . Seriously not a sex on wheels as the reporters are making it out to be.

And aggressive incentives. My neighbor bought a WRX STI in Atlanta (which is where he originally hails from) for $27,500 from the original MSRP of $36,000 + change.

An excerpt from Wall Street Journal:

Big B, when can we expect the mules to run, or are they already running?

I am gonna go smk... the problem is that Zeta is too heavy for its own good when it comes to fuel economy. If Camaro looses 700lb (from 3900 lb to 3200 lb) that 15% drop shall convert at least into 10% gain in fuel economy. Add to it smaller V8's DI and HCCI we can see a better Alpha Camaro. I hope GM spends some of those $5B in retooling for using lighter materials like magnesium and aluminum.

HCCI seems to be coming off age and looks promising. I think future is HCCI for the ICE. A DI with HCCI will make a good pair and GM does not have to sweat a lot for creating a good solid architecture based on their experience with V-8. A family with 3.5L, 4.0L and 5.0L will be a good offering.

The 4.9L DI V8 shown in the GMC Denali XT seems promising. If they can force induce it and produce a variety of small blocks and by love of God have the HCCI ready by then, it will be a good V8 family. If they can punch out about 400 HP N/A of that engine (I cannot see a reason why not DI 3.6 V6 = 84.4 hp/l, DI V8 = 81.6 hp/l) it will be a capable engine with decent fuel economy.

You do know that Poisoned Pawn is actually a variation of Sicilian Najdorf which Kasparov used very effectively to destroy Nigel Short in the 1992-93 world Championship, don't you? It is basically a strategy in which black's pawn becomes a boon as well as a bane hence the name. Bill Heard is effectively GM's poisoned pawn.

Does that mean Mr. Heard was forced into resignation after being a poisoned pawn?

I personally would go for the LT2 V-6, for first and primemost reason the V-6, and I like how the suede hugs you while you push the car around. I do not like the extra chrome on the LTZ, although I gotta give the spectacular grille of the LTZ compared to LT2, a subtle rim on the perimeter makes a lot of difference. On a side note is there any chance the DI V-6 will see a light under Malibu hood?

As much I hate these new phones (phones should only be used for talking and listening) I am dilligently waiting for this: Initial reviews say that it is gonna rock out with its cock out.

That was one good looking truck, if only it was a 4x4 I would have thought of actually flying one way to Pa and snatching it from Blu.

Yeah 427 is the special one. It is strange that the noise comes only when I take right turn, there seems to be no loss in power or any type of jerk in the steering. Is that the german way?

What to do if right turn is a must?

Thank you. One down 4 to go.

Blu Boy, Congrats for your new ride. Sorry to hear about your GMT900 not getting what you were expecting. Good luck with your new Sheeovorolet. Write more about how was your dealership experience, how much did you end up paying and what was the list. I am glad you did not get the tacky spoiler. And as usual - good write up - a cliche.

That is my only reservation for the Nissan GuTteR. Sure it may be a good handler with balanced chasis and great response, but if you have a car that does anything and everything for you why not go a step farther and let it drive you while you sit and just turn the steering wheel as you do on your X-BOX360 or PS3? People have seemed to forgotten real cars are meant to be driven and pushed to their extremes by a driver not by itself. And I am glad that the ACR slaughtered the GuTter by 5 seconds. I hate when people blast the Z06 for being nervous - yeah Ferraris and Porsches of yore were always nervous. Seems like world is turning into woosses, and I do not belong to that generation which had cars that made you work not the other way around.

It is a car that makes me say for Pete's sake F$ck the creature comforts and just enjoy the sound, ride and power.

Why - doesn't GM put their biggest engine in Regular Cab pickups? When - is the Poon-Thai-Yak G8 GXP coming? How - to stop hissing noise when I turn my W-body's steering wheel only on the right side? Where - can I find a CTS 3.6DI with FE3 suspension package, Navigation, and 6-SPEED MANUAL transmission. What - model year Impala is the best one?
