That this... this... and this... all individually outsold this?

Haha. Subaru Baja. I think the SSR outsold it.

Chrome by Azzaro. I like it. I like the people that dope up on AXE (not cologne, but...). I mean, yes, I use it too because it was half off for some reason and its not bad but seriously.

I think the reduncancy comes with the fact that there may not be much making the US Pursuit a real unique car.

You do that and next time I'm up in Palm Harbor, I'm going into Dick Norris Buick Pontiac-GMC and asking for some TrimSpa.

If you think about it, people go to GNC to bulk up and be macho. Why wouldn't the two want to be associated with each other? I admit when I was little I looked into the stores at the mall and wondered where the trucks were.

Wow, speaking of crappy paint jobs, a friend of mine had his '96 Bonneville repainted at ECONO. I picked the car up for him and, well, here's a partial list. *Overspray on window moldings *Overspray on tires *Overspray on exhaust *Overspray on air dam *Painted black grille insert white for no reason *Overspray on backlight glass But the best was the right rearview mirror. He had the lens scotch-taped on because it was broken, so what did these brainiacs do? Painted over the tape! $200 and I believe it.

Industrial as a descriptor is used to describe something as cold, formal, and very utilitarian. It would be a great way to describe a truck's interior, for example. Its not an insult, just a description. Thinking its an insult like that...well...that's you. For example, Flint can be described as industrial in the same way parts of California, the Eastern Seaboard, and the Texas Gulf Coast - lots of cold, drab industry. Now, if you want to insult an urban area, just say it looks like crap because it doesn't take decaying factories for an area to look bad. Agricultural in its popular automotive editorial usage is quite an abomination. To refer to an engine as 'agricultural' brings to mind a clanky old tractor that belches smoke, throws rods, and is more disharmonious than most of American Idol. IMO, talking about any modern automobile engine as 'agricultural' in that vernacular shows a penchant for dramatics and no real understanding of what real-world agricultural powerplants are - inglorious and dependable. I think that is an apt description for the 3800: no glitz, no glamour, just engine turning the wheels day after day.

"I tolds you three f@#kin' times to keep your goddamn nose outta the shift knobs. THREE...f@#kIN'...TIMES! No more..." *BANG!* --------------------**********-------------------- President Bush's new mandate requires that automakers must locate and tap oil wells to pay back for the electricity they use during the Chicago Auto Show. --------------------**********-------------------- Who says Toyota never fleets their vehicles?

Good: There's a special feel in an Oldsmobile. I also actually like 'Not your Father's Olds.' The worst was 'Start Something' as it meant nothing.

Nissan planning on fleeting the new ones, too?

Those 'Hoes need some bodyside molding stat. No, I don't mean cladding, I mean rubstrips. I hated the look of the cut-rate TB sans molding and I hate these. Why does everything have to look slabby like a G35 coupe?

I suppose it would be large for Europe. It was about Cutlass Cruiser-sized. Okay, upon a quick Google, I'm pretty sure it was a 405 since it had block headlamps, not the angular jobs like the 505.

Wow. That Citroen looks like a biiiiig Insight.

The coupe looks pretty good and the interior is okay except for that dumbass steering wheel.

I believe LeSabre sales have been consistantly level at 7-10k units a month for a long time.

The first gas V6 certified for California's ULEV standards was a GM engine. Want to guess what engine? That old, outdated, agricultural 3800 Series II in 2000.

I remember complaints re: Lucerne like no optional rear sunshade. I don't see the problem with nitpicking since many people do in fact do that when they purchase cars.

Heh. No doubt though you totally Camried that exhaust. Difference is, your car is almost three decades old while Camries come from the factory like that. Who's the Standard now?

It's a faaareign car, the 'T' is silent.

Didn't know you were going for that Camry look.

See, I like the swoosh. Just do it. I'd just want a normal gauge cluster.

If you're buying a sedan like most people buy a sedan (for two or three people, only occasionally four or five), then the GXP will suit you fine.

I can't stand the minicar looks. While the ION doesn't look perfect, it doesn't look miniscule. Amazingly, ditto with the Aveo - it looks more substantial in size than it is.

The Ford trucks have actually just caught up to the GMT-800s on an engineering basis, notably with hydroformed frames. Most truck users don't care about exposed screwheads and anal retentive crap like that. But yeah, the answer is GMC because even when the F-150s were brand-spankin'-new, GM outsold them as a corporation. Both good trucks, though.
