  1. Rosemary's Grand daughter (The country song)
  2. I think it is a good article. What I think GM and Ford should follow is ambush marketing. It does not make sense to turn a Nelson's eye on the aggressive marketing from Toy-boy-ta; the latest being their farts about the twice failed Tundra. The only way to change perceptions among the people is to have initiative. I almost lamented the fact that none of GM's cars went down in HP ratings when SAE standards were applied, yet people new nothing about it and the fact Japanese increased their estimates. This should have been on the first page ads. GM hardly educates people about how good their Buicks and Caddy's are when it comes to quality. GM is now coming about the fuel economy of their trucks, telling people they are the best. I had an arguement with an import humper lady-dog who was saying GM trucks sucked in fuel economy. I showed her all the data and proved her wrong. (She is more than twice old as I am) There is another import humper MILF who buys nothing but Hondas. There is another fellow who says he will never buy domestics. Why? Because 20 YEARS AGO, his sister had a disappointing Buick. Yet he has driven four times, 300 miles to Atlanta to fix his Lexus LS430 for "Courtesy Service." Part of the reason Hyundai has sales of Sonata is because of their direct MENTIONING of Crapry in their ads. It just seems like GM and FORD have past egos to not to mention their competitors by name and tell how better they are. Time is certainly not by GM and Ford's side. Almost a generation has passed since they have started building good, passionate cars again. I think they should rather concentrate on younger buyers and hope them pressurize their parents buying new cars. But it is never too late to mend and aggressive marketing push is the only way GM and Ford can come back.
  3. +1, They just have honest opinions, and their reviews I think are decently fair.
  4. I think guys the prices reflect the prices of Classic models. I configured the Siverado Crew cab LT on chevy.com and kbb. 1. I found both prices EXACTLY the same. 2. They did not offer the 6L 3. Some Packages listed looked older. (07 does not have them), like grill delete, Option package 2LT -SS May be I was doing something wrong
  5. Man that is an awesome machine and a vey good custom job.
  6. I am friends with a lesbian couple. There is certainly a disparity between the two. Martha (the Dyke) is a Civil Engineer by profession and is about 3 years younger than Stephanie who is a Resident in Urology. I actually met Martha 4 years ago when I was part of my school's student body. She was intimidating (but I like intimidating women, ) and I started talking to her. I later found out she was really the nicest person by heart. She is very passionate about cars, drives a 1999 BMW 540i 6-speed. We can talk for hours about cars. Funny thing is, she was not a tomboy when she was a kid. She once said that she could tell that people especially straight women call her a dyke on her back. Steph is more outgoing and her looks defy her age (she looks like 21). Very sweet natured, but can be hard headed. No affinity for cars, drives a Saab 9-3 convertible. Both have been dating (married) for 7 years. It was odd when I came to know about their relationship. It was hard to accept initially. I am not a homophobe, but this was the first time in my life I had met a similar sex couple. Martha was raised in a military liberal background while Steph's parents are middle of the road, but leaning towards conservatives. But they said it was difficult for both their parents to initially accept them. We still are in touch despite moving to different cities. So that is my only experience with lesbians. I dunno if it is good, but definitely not bad.
  7. I think it is heartening to see the sales of the GMT's doing well. Although my concern is certainly the passenger cars. GM needs not one but three or four home runs in passenger cars within next 12 months. Hopefully, the MALIBU will change it all. So will the Aveo Hatch and Mid Cycle refreshed Cobalt. Caddillac with a new CTS and a refreshed STS should do better too. GM should bring the Chinese Buick styling here. They are gorgeous. Plus hopefully Astra should get the ball rolling. I want GM to really push in the passenger car segment. May be the crossovers will take some of the people off the car market and bring them to GM stable. But the worst thing will be if those people were in the market for GM cars. Good work GM, but still a long road ahead.
  8. GMTA (Great Minds Think Alike). It just takes the Aura off from a car. Great buy GM, now show us some interior pics.
  9. Latest issue compares the super sedans and the pecking order is: 5. Dogsus LS 460L 4. Jaguar Super V-8 3. BMW 750 Li 2. Audi A8l Quattro 1. MB S550 5. Dogsus For a car that some of us thought might win, fifth place seems astonishing. But you have to blame Lexus's obsessive isolation from noise and vibration for this outcome. Persuading Lexus to negotiate our famous lane change test was akin to driving a coach. ..... sound levels are low enough inside that imperfect door seals on our preproduction vehicle produced wind noise that seemed hurricane like in comparison. What??? Lexus has quality glitches? Toy-boy-ta is going to recall Lexus, :AH-HA_wink: Talk about the 8-speed and 380-hp V-8. It was slower in all accelerations apart from the Audi. Stopped 207 feet from 70-0. I think Silverado is better than that. It had the least road holding of the group. The last time when they compared Lexus was first and Benz the last. Well now it has just been reversed. C and D atleast did something right.
  10. Is that fake wood plastic to enhance the "other" plastic on the vehicle?
