I forgot the alloy part - if included - the same as BV's configuration w./ blue tooth, which I think now is std. for 2011. The 2010 do not have the 16" wheels, which were cheap IIRC. They added only $400 odd to the 15" steelies.

Nope - online configurator.

I can get one 2-door for $18,370.

Gorgeous.

That is not the case with the new Equinox, which is gaining approx. $3,500 over the previous model. Why can't the Cruze have that same gain against the Cobalt? I find Cruze to Cobalt update parallel with the Equinox 2 to Equinox 1 update. The only thing not working against the Cruze is its exterior looks 3 years too old, but there is no reason to trash the car when it comes to quality, ergonomics, standard equipment and options. I think we should wait to see the result before letting the runaway jury post a verdict.

That is going to be one heck of an expensive project that will throw the demand for steel around the world in chaos, considering USA has the world's most expansive railroad system.

I personally favor capitalized letters. But whatever!

I resisted from that considering VW and MB use the blues for their diesels.

PM me the link, I will get one. Good Job Roger!

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. Despite being intel fan for the purpose of workstation capabilities, I love ATI err AMD video cards. Honestly I am looking forward for its Open GL workstation version to see how it kills the Quadros. The Quadros dominate that market.

I thought they were going to move to a 32nm chip with the 6xxx. Guess it will be the 7xxx that would get the benefit of smaller architecture. Nevertheless, it looks like a miser in power usage, unlike NVIDIA, which are tending to be power hogs.

Is there a Nissan salesman amongst us?

Sucks to have the car totaled but I am glad you made it through in one piece.

I agree with the products - even Aveo and Orlando were Wagoner's babies. Alpha will be the first post-bankruptcy GM product. But the fact that politics are playing more important part than GM portfolio is something that cannot be ignored.

Those are the exact two things that come to mind. Chrysler is really on product offensive something I expected GM to do. The Detroit Autoshow was ho-hum, but I expected the products to pick up, but nothing that sorts seems to be happening at least at fervent pace. GM should restrain from issuing IPO - I think it is more political than business decision. While GM made good profit last two quarters - as a Devil's Advocate one may ask how much of that money came from strangling the product lineup to make the numbers look beefed up? Unlike Chrysler it is making money - make more money and expand the business and then think about IPO.With double dip recession in hand GM IPO will NOT make money and give the bashers an opportunity they are seeking. GM is just shoring money numbers to make analysts and potential buyers happy while strangling products. I guess bean counters are working in other way. One thing that bothers me is given the recent stride made by the four brands in this upturn, another well kept brand or two (Saturn and Pontiac) with limited and directed products will go a long way in building the numbers as well as bringing goodwill. GM says how 4 brands are overachieving sales compared to 8 brands did last year. But that is mathematical jugglery at its best. Last year was nadir of sales and if GM wanted to really see brands' strengths this year they should have exceeded to a point realistic to the market growth this year compared to last. Unfortunately GM is losing market share, which tells me the 4 brand trick is not working.

That is where GM is failing. Hopefully the current blitz of hiring marketing personnel should solve the problem. GM in late past (since 90's) always seemed to have problems letting people know about its products.

What is that?

Happy (Belated) Birthday Cort.

Congrats. So as long you and your wife do not live in the same city and are at least 6 hours away your marriage will be happy.

Unless I am missing something there are two sedans above the CTS. So seems to me Caddy wants to compete S-class and Bentley.

It is a good looking vehicle.

Fantastic
