Dude. You can buy printable bumper sticker sheets at Staples or Office Depot...

So, can the pointless Sequoia die now?

I don't put faith in the same people who think the solution to vehicular/pedestrian fatalities is to make car hoods buldgy instead of telling Europe to look both ways.

American tests, please.

Not surprising in the least. I called this car as rental material, the sales show its rental material, and now these reviews show its rental material.

This was unexpected... The electronic key deactivated itself. How? I don't know. I just know my old and wearly PassKEY II pellet has never let me down.

Well, you just contridicted yourself there. I'll conceded the CTS doesn't look luxurious in the traditional sense, but again, the material quality is there and I for one like the high-tech stealth look

Also, to put this in perspective, The Envoy XL SLE based at $27,830 and the Acadia is certainly at least $2000 better.

He can no longer hear you

You got it. Midnight tonight.

I'll cut Lexus some slack if they make a commercial showing a ditzy blonde in a Mercedes plowing into two cars while the 'smarter' woman just let's the LS park it for her.

There's nothing cheap about the materials in a CTS. They just don't ooze wood and leather luxury. Its not a Flying Spur, so I can accept that. I don't see why so many can't.

Good-lookin' interior. Who cares if its a rebadge at this point, seriously.

Those are the most unfriendly crank windows I've ever seen. Jesus. And at the price they're charging...unacceptable.

So? He doesn't do anything around here anyway.

Proportioning seems to dictate no. And, honestly, I don't find it attractive. I also don't find the G35 coupe or 350Z attractive either. Yeah, I suck, I'm ghey, I'm a 'tard, whatever. I just don't. A coupe is supposed to be long, wide, low, and sleek. These cars are merely low and wide, which makes them look pudgy, frogish, or have big unadorned wraparound fender panels that remind me of hovercrafts. So, I'll be weird in my corner I guess.

Think about it. Younger people (under 30) purchasing new Buicks and spending more money customizing them. This makes me especially anxious to see how these eleven SEMA Lucernes will look. Imagine if Buick could reinforce their image as purveyors of old-school iron scrappers, at least when it comes to customization. I don't think that would be a bad thing at all.

G35 for whoever can't afford a G35?

Parallel parking isn't really that much of a challenge in the States where spaces are somewhat designed for larger cars. This is ideal in Tokyo and other superdense urban areas, but here? Meh. I'd be saying this also if this were a GM feature. For the record, in Driver's Ed, I paralleled better in a LeSabre with its narrow rear backlight, tiny mirrors, low seating position, and huge girth than in a Rendezvous with huge mirrors, large windows, high seating, and Ultrasonic Park Assist.

Yeah that too. This whole deal about 'Hondas looking refined and upscale' sure missed the Pilot.

Anyone else need more time?

Compare the Acadia SLE to the Pilot EX. Its a more comperable setup in terms of features and pricing and I'd still put the Acadia out ahead due to more power, better transmission, and better interior. Plus, you can't get a V8 in the Pilot next year. *ahem* I don't know why anyone gets the LX. Four speakers? What a pile. Who buys that junk?

Used VUE, Axiom, Tracker (they aren't horrible).

FOR RELEASE: 2006-10-20 Pontiac Empowers Car Culture In Second Life Pontiac's Motorati Island Debuts in Late November with Free "Land" for Auto Entrepreneurs DETROIT, Oct. 20, 2006 — Pontiac is getting into real estate – but not in the way most would expect. It’s joining a small group of trendsetting companies buying virtual real estate in Second Life, an online, 3-D world entirely built and owned by the residents that inhabit it. Pontiac’s Second Life presence will launch with a six-region land mass called Motorati Island. But, Pontiac’s arrival will come with a twist: an offer of free “land” for Second Lifers to create a vibrant car culture within the community. Staying true to the spirit of Second Life, which empowers members to build the community, Pontiac is providing parcels of land around Motorati Island to Second Life entrepreneurs and artists who wish to create their own projects devoted to car culture. The process for land proposals begins when users are invited to the island’s micro site, Motoratilife.com, to begin the submission process. Pontiac will review user’s proposed projects and appropriate land accordingly on which users can go forth and develop their own ideas, as they relate to the Motorati community. “Our mission is to work with the Second Life community to create a place for car lovers that doesn’t exist today,” said Mark-Hans Richer, marketing director at Pontiac. “However, our approach isn’t to be a ‘me too, marketer’ and simply have a presence in the space. Rather, we want to empower the car community in Second Life and develop with them in a unique and meaningful manner. We aren’t completely creating the experience – the Second Life users are. We’re just providing the inspiration.” In addition to the community based projects, Pontiac will create its own presence on the island. Plans are in development to build a futuristic Pontiac “dealership,” selling customizable versions of the newly introduced Pontiac Solstice GXP. Owners can then test their new purchases on a high-performance test track, fully modify them and even showcase them in a public gallery. The Pontiac Garage music stage in New York City’s Times Square will be replicated in this space and act as a venue for live music performances by real artists in the form of their Second Life avatars. “Our hope is to unleash the community’s passion for cars,” said Tor Myhren, executive vice president, executive creative director at Leo Burnett Detroit. “We envision weekly competitive driving events, drive-in theaters playing car related films, machinima film studios, car-themed fashion shows, live concerts, drive-in restaurants, you name it. If an idea relates to any aspect of car culture, we intend to give the community the means to make it happen.” In November, Second Life citizens selected for land development will begin building their projects. Pontiac’s presence in Second Life will officially launch to the virtual public with a major multi-medium grand opening event. The event will leverage several of Pontiac’s current media assets and partnerships, and details will be announced at a later date. Pontiac’s web presence off Second Life will coincide with the virtual world at Motoratilife.com. The microsite will provide an open window into Pontiac’s Second Life efforts as they develop throughout the campaign. Beginning in November, the general public will also be able to join the unique virtual community via the Motoratilife website, which will link directly to the Motorati Island in Second Life. Pontiac’s advertising agency Leo Burnett Detroit is leading the project and collaborating with award-winning branded entertainment agency, Campfire (New York City and Orlando), to bring the campaign to Second Life and create a community in which users can engage and participate. Additional partners helping execute the campaign are Second Life developers Millions of Us ( Sausalito) and web developers Domani Studios ( New York City). The Second Life initiative follows on the heels of Pontiac’s all digital G5 launch earlier this month, also coordinated by LBD, as another component in its non traditional marketing approach. “Bringing together Pontiac, Campfire and Second Life is consistent with our agency’s approach to focusing on strategy and the big idea, then bringing in the resources necessary to make it work,” said Myhren. The growing popularity of Second Life, created by Linden Lab, presents a unique marketing opportunity for companies like Pontiac. It’s owned and developed by the more than one million users that inhabit it, and has a real economy, real social dynamics and the feeling of reality for its residents. Second Life is growing at a rate of 20 percent month over month. The residents of Second Life own virtual land and participate in an online economy. Users pay for items through the use of Linden dollars, the true currency of Second Life, which can be accrued in various ways, including the use of actual credit cards – which generate approximately $6 million a month at Second Life.
