Actually zero right after you sign the paperwork.

I have a 1998 Lumina with the 3.1l. And yes the head gasket problem is a common one, because I had them replaced at 114,XXX miles. If I was you I will put the $800 to repair her. Because if you are looking till May that is about $90/month provided nothing else happens to it. Hell you cannot buy a cheap car for that much. Plus you put those $800 in brakes too, so that is another cost you have to put up with in order to call it a decent investment. I will keep her. Just baby her with mid-ranged fuel and meticulous oil changes and she should be good for another nine months.

How much does it cost?

I can see where P_C_S is coming from. When they integrated B-P-G, GM took off the scare from the Oldsmobile horror of shelling out cash closing a brand. Solstice and RWD vehicles can definitely be integrated into Buick and with GMC, they will need only two brands under one dealership banner. The advantages are 1. No need to advertise for another brand. 2. Buick can be old man's Lexus (Lucerne, Enclave, and other FWD) and young men's BMW (Alpha, Solstice) and a mix of RWD with Zeta. 3. Some crossovers (Enclave and a smaller crossover on the Theta, which the GMC will get) 4. GMC will take care of the trucks. The fact that no GTO or sister-Camaro for Pontiac on the impeccable Zeta took me off guard. But I think P_C_S point of view definitely makes sense. I am yet to hear Pontiac has a bright future from Lutz. I have heard him say about Buick, Hummer, GMC, Saturn and hell even SAAB now.

This is a good news! And the import humpers say that the $h!SAN has good quality. Man it is lingering at the bottom. Saab is a bummer when it comes to quality, and the 2004 Saturines were not good either. I think 2004 was a time when GM had some real dogs as their products before their transformation began. Too bad, people will not know till 2009 how bad Toys were last year.

If what you say is true then Saab is more like an Acura/Volvo fighter. Because the day it begins to compete with BMW it becomes redundant. Also even with this status the line between it and Buick and Cadillac are thin. May be GM wants people to perceive Saab as a Buidillac.

You know about the kids who get drowned in their own puke. Well GXT gets drowned in his own numbers. It is pointless to argue with him about his own numbers. The way he sounds like when he mentions the numbers confidently makes one wonder if he has internal GM information, but then the irony is that the numbers do not make sense.

C5 made to look like a C-1? Wow Priceless!

SAAB is the O-ring formed in GM's toilet. Fixed.

He can probably get cheap Mac ram from newegg.com. 2 gig 667 MHZ notebook stick is like $129 dollars for a Corsair XMS, which is pretty darn good. Is there any software that can run Mac on Windows PC?

You need to get the formal permission of our Resident Holden Hater before you post pictures like those.

GXT -- Finding every way possible to bring down the Volt. That is moving forward.

I think what makes the Metro special for the loser tag is its availability in different body styles (Coupe, Sedan, Hatch and the ubiquitous Convertible). It made every loser/dork have a choice to be even more loser/dorkier. Plus, like in those pictures, people customized the hell out of them. It is like a perfect hybrid of American and Japanese car (albeit with all bad qualities of theirs). Perhaps the one of the only few American cars which can get an accolade of "Ricer". And that says a lot.

+1 Well said. If GM wants to play in this segment, please go fullhearted. Half hearted effort will only make the import humping press say, "We said so!"

Is it Mild or Full Blown?

Do you have a hybrid version of it?

If the Enclave was expensive for your test, how come this is going to be cheap?

No GEO METRO???? That is the DORK CENTRAL.

THEM

I am thinking the same. It is bland with snorkel nose. With eyes bloated from the Mazda3.

Punch in the nuts.

Jah, Mercedes for sure. Look at the steering wheel hubs, you see the Tristar.

Could I have a taller wing so that I can put some charcoal on the trunk cover under the wing and make some nice BBQ "rice" and beans at my party on that wing.

Ferrari 348

Fixed.
