Z-06

Not want to sound overoptimistic, but I definitely see some GMNA zetas in those "uncovered" sedans.

Did you guys corner him and throw him out of your mod board? He has not posted for over a month, or may be he is now the mod of a Toy forum.

Add to that the Saturn Astra ride and drive event, which may have cost about 10-15 million dollars. They did it for almost two months.

Mostly because of the mail order brides. How good are they for the economy anyways?

Anderson Cooper is the new "young" sexy of the world. I dunno about guys, but girls love young men with Gray hair. Stop looking at my picture K.C., it is not happening.

Ehh, Toyota did it with the old turd. Usually, the production is assigned and began long before the start of a MY into the dealer showroom. For retooling and other logistics, may be Grand Prix dates of closure were earlier, you cannot call those moves stupid if there is no demand, right?

Downsize the Atlas and make it a DI. We are talking a BMW competitor and a versatile engine.

P-C-S, when is the EP II Insignia wagon coming out? Any chances of making to US?

Here is my theory, which may make sense of why oil is rising and why we will feel the pinch more than other countries. Most of world's oil is traded in dollars. With the dollar tanking and with the fear that it is not an investment currency and thus being dumped, the price of oil has to go up in dollars, to sustain the profits ("greeds") of the oil producing companies. Otherwise they will not get the "return" to their investment in dollars and crude they want. Now, the dollar has been tanking with respect to other countries as well. So the price increase of crude oil in dollars is offset by the loss of value of dollar. Take this example, Dollar stood at 44.23 Indian Rupees at begining of 2007 and the price of crude was about $55/ gallon. Let us say India bought 100 oil futures in dollars then. It paid 100*44.23*55 = Rupees 243,265 for those 100 crude futures. As of today Dollar is 39.45 Rupees, the price of oil is $99.0/ gallon, India is paying 100*39.45*100 = Rupees 394,500. This is an increase of 62.2%. But for us Americans price of crude oil jumped (99/55-1)% = 80%. So theoritically, India has a "net" gain in the investment of fuel prices. We thus feel more pinch than India will at the gas pump. But the question is why is India clamoring for loss of dollar? Because, India sells goods with dollars more than it buys, so if the dollar looses value, so will its profits erode. Now going a step further, since our politicians and we cannot curb our spending greed, and our desire to save and invest despite of the economy slowin (slowed?) down, Uncle Sam has to pay interest on those treasuries and loans of close to 8 Trillion dollars he owes. How will he do it? By indirectly charging us more on our oil. Oil is a single commodity which we need even if it goes to $200/ gallon. It is a hidden tax which we are paying. Since our government does not have balls to tell our citizens to curb spending, this is indirectly novel way. Upto a certain extent the CAFE may be thus a smoke screen, because Uncle Sam will need this more money he is getting from us for the oil. That is why the goal is set to 2020. Do you not think that three forthcoming presidents and 6 forthcoming congresses till that date may not overthrow or change this CAFE? I mean it is not part of the constitution and even constitution can be ammended. Any thoughts?

Slap each and every Chevy dealer on their on their backs w./ sarcasm and faces w./ rage if the Traverse does not set sales goals they are trying to achieve by muscling their power.

Since there are no results, and Fly has been sleeping, it is on.

<With a Russian Accent> Interesting, first played in the Russian metalworkers championship in 1926.

Add to that Jeep Grand Cherokee too. Bunch of them used as mommy mobiles.

After 400 years there is a need for Democracy V2.0. Revolution is a must.

Which makes me suggest a RWD based Lambda platform.

There are 4859 people ahead of you give or take because some of them are import humpers and subtract P-C-S from that.

I hope this baby has a formal launch control and various settings for the suspensions and throttle performance for different demands of the drivers. And good bolstering seats. GM is always good with stability control so I am not hoping for that.

I thought the curse got the FWD POS and that you were replacing it with Opel Insignia 3.6 AWD performance model.

By its unique architecture, where the 8' long thing will go into the engine bay.

Do it because we may probably see Lambda based Pickup because of CAFE.

Dear Sir, You should just jump the gun and get yourself any car you LIKE and then wait in the future for the car you LOVE.

Toy is walking on tight ropes. On one side concentrating on making itself green, building vehicles like this or the Turd platform is making them gas hogs, some greenies are realizing that (Finally!!). Their main agenda is to sell by numbers. And they are doing it regardless of whether they are selling green, blue, yellow or red. I think they will be a very frustrated bunch if they do not gain # 1 this year they are seeking for. I honestly do not think GM needs a supercar in that territory. The Z06, ZR1 are more than capable of handling those snob mobiles, provided they are constantly upgraded.

Yes that was one helluva truck. Chevy needs some mojo in the Truck Lineup.

GM and some of the people here underestimate the market for a manual transmission and or Navigation System.
