A Horse With No Name

I think it would be cool to keep it 307 powered. Chris

The driving dynamics make the car, it is a VERY good driving vehicle. MUCH better than the crappy driving Yaris and Versa. Chris

I can't wait until this thing hits the market...and I think your right, they will sell every one they can build. Chris

Now you know why I like lightweight cars that like to turn and stop. I just LOVE the old V8 RWD stuff also, but for a daily or a car I'm going to use...GTI, Miata, Astra, cobalt SS, MINI, Solstice, etc. You'll love an Astra....trust me. Chris

Ditto on the 5-10% dumber and slower thing, although when the company I worked for a few years ago cut everyones pay they got 30% dumber and slower at the very least. Cut everything you can now, like Oldsmoboi said. In one sense it doesn't matter who is elected in Novemeber, either one will have a full 8 years work even starting to undo the major wreck Bush has gotten us into. Chris

I got cut off by a Camry on the way to work and I'm blaming you, 68...(peg the sarcam meeter)...without this thread I never would have noticed all of the crappy Toyota Drivers. Seriously, that dude blacking the fast lane must get double negative on the IQ scale because he is driving a Camry and from mAssachusetts. Chris

Just be glad they aren't buying them back for catastrphic frame failure. Chris

GM is on a roll....CTS-V, Sky, Solstice, Astra, Aura, Malibu, Enclave, Outlook, The GMT 900's, The Cruze, HHR, et al...LOTS of great product here and in the pipeline. Things haven't really been this good from GM since the early 1970's, IMHO. :AH-HA_wink: Chris

Actually I like the Fit quite a bit. But I hate, hate, hate the Yaris and the Versa with an ungodly passion. Chris

I think so also...that was also my first thought. Chris

I actually just love this thing and hope they bring it here. Chris

+1 Chris

Try it with the 5 speed, that helps it A LOT! Chris

Thanks for posting that...that just made my week! Chris

The bench seat in my 1970 Chevelle and my Cutlass were godsends in this regard... Chris

As much as the economy in Ohio has (quite literally) gone south, I can't bring myself to leave. Although there are some really cool places out west. Were I to be a young man, I've heard Santa FE NM is a really wonderful place. Chris

I used to ride to work with a co worker who had been raised in a rather poor urban neighborhod and whose brother had been shot to death a few months before. Needless to say, he had a few "anger" issues. He used to keep rolled up change in his car, and would give someone like this a load of pennies out the window. That can do a lot of damage fast to someones car. I stopped riding with him when he almost got out and beat someones ass when traffic got held up. Chris

People don't know how to drive and don't care about other drivers...with the number of Toyotas on the road, your chance of having an asshole in a Toyota is just that much greater. Chris

Tabitha, one of my teen daughter's friends was standing with her sophomore english teacher next to english teachers car in the faculty parking lot, talking about school. Someone got under the car and cut the converter off while they were standing there talking! Thief's are getting really tricky with the price of scrap up. Chris

Let's keep the planet Safe for Holden! Chris

Friends don't let Friends drive Nissans! Chris

I just don't know how anyone stays sane in the car buisiness. Thanks for your response! Chris

I think the decline in buisiness ethics is a big part of the decline of western commerce. Just my two cents, but.... Chris

There is just something breathtaking about cars from the classical era... That Studebaker is the stuff dreams are made of. Chris

How do you figure out what a person can really afford? Our household annual Salary right now is at about $70,000 or $75,000, and I don't really feel comfortable spending more than about 15k for a car, maybe 20k in a few years if I save up some good down payment or have extra tucked away in case of a rainy day. ...and I have very minimal (in the high hundreds) credit card debt...and no other real debt other than a mortgage that is less by a fair chunk than what I qualify for. I was told that I could buy anything that took the payment to about $650 or $700 easily, but that is wayyy more than I am confortable with. So how should someone really decide how much of a payment they can take on? Chris
