  1. Notice the Civic and the Fit doing well. People seem to be responding to the price of Gas. Chris
  2. You are I believe correct sir. Chris
  3. ...also, does anyone know if Cobalt sales dropped? Chris
  4. Son of a friend was given a nice clean older Bonneville SSE as a high school graduation gift. Only problem was the headliner was loose and he was told he would have to fix it. So the kid gets an air powered staple gun and staples the headliner back in place. ....And then gets out to notice what has happened to the roof of the car. At least his mother is footing the bill to fix the thing. Chris
  5. Great point! Chris
  6. Anyone here got any cool links on Olds Vista Cruisers? I've always loved these. Chris
  7. I have a honda friend/import humper that just loves to point out that the IRL hasn't lost any motors to failure during racing during the last 12 or so IRL races. He then points out how bad the Aurora motors were when they were used in the IRL. Does anyone have actual failure rate info for the Aurora motor used in Indy car racing? Chris
  8. The lack of a manual shift is one reason I won't buy an SUV. I think that the Element and the Wrangler are the only two SUV's with manual shift option available. Chris
  9. Whatever the case may be this has got to be one of the best automotive boards on the net. Wish I personally could do something to help promote this thing. Also wish I had been around to get to know some of the people you all are talking about. Chris
  10. Carbiz, what is car heaven? Do you guys crush 1995 and older cars for pollution credits in Canada? Also, WTF?? $300 a MONTH for car insurance? Granted I have a clean record and so forth but I am paying $50 a month for full coverage Zero deductable comprehensive/ 250 Collision/ towing/rental/everything else under the sun for a 2005 car here in Colubus Ohio. Why in God's name would insurance cost me $250 more a MONTH in Toronto? Sorry about your sunburn, I agree pretty much with your response. Really think that if GM could make the G5/Cobalt replacement a true class leader like the Mazda 3 it would really help... Hoping they keep production at Lordstown also after 2009... Chris
  11. The Cobalt interior is damned good for what it is. Like I said in another part of the Forum, my wife likes the Cobalt SS inside better than the MINI Cooper S. That being said, the TSX is a brilliant car. Chris
  12. The E-85 would be huge, as would a more economical choice on powertrain. Chris
  13. This reminds me of when my wife was rear ended in our Safari van by a semi. Insurance paid for the substantial repairs and were very happy just getting the thing settled. Good luck, my friend. Let us know how it comes out. Chris
  14. Here is the question. Is the Cobalt up to standing door handle to door handle, wheel to wheel with the Mazda 3 and the Civic? We keep talking about price and buy American, but this really is using cost and fear to possibly cover up the fact that the Cobalt is not all it should be. I love the Cobalt and think GM did a great job with updating over the Cavalier. However, I also think that we need an even better small car for GM to compete in this time of $3.29 gas and student loans that take twenty years to pay off. So here goes...this is to be a serious discussion. 1. Where does the Cobalt have it over its competition? and 2. Where should GM best use its creative efforts with the next refresh? Chris
  15. Honestly I think it needs to go to about $5.00 to $6.00 per gallon so we start to conserve and develop other sources of fuel. But I am in a minority of one. Chris
  16. There is only so much of a market for Hybrids, and the main point of driving one is in making a political statement. Kind of hard to make a statement about the environment driving a full sized Lexus. Chris
  17. Given the quality of what they build...good riddance. Chris
  18. This isn't funny, in a way. You can't buy anything American anymore at all, much less Union made. Chris
  19. I work in the construction industry. No one, and I mean no one who uses a truck for work uses a new toy Tundra. They are a laughingstock on every construction site I am on...even the Titan guys laugh at it. Chris
