Excellent! Post some pictures if you can.

Welcome back, Enzora! Superman

I like seeing the Mustang on the list. Yeah, the old warhorse Taurus is Ford's best selling car... bleh. Let's hope the Fusion catches on in a big way soon. Ford needs it. I'd like the see the Pontiac G6 on that list, too. Love that the Impala is the biggest gainer, percentagewise.

As far as your boldface type, Mr. Fly, I think that's going to be that new mini-me-Murano we've seen sketches of.

Balthy, does your nickname have the word "horse" in it?

It's really goofy that anyone would allow themselves to be on the cover of Time or People with that kind of headline. Can't he just bring a cute guy to an awards dinner or something? That Backstreet Boy looked like such a dweeb doing that. His bf is hot though.

Here in the United States of America, we will be electing a president in 2008.

Why not, snookums? I've had nicknames, but there's no way I'm divulging them here.

The only way the car can protect you is if you are in place for the safety systems to work. Too many variables if you are flying around unbelted in the car. He could very well have been thrown through the sunroof and crushed if he had not been belted in. Also, it looks like the right side B-and C-pillars did hold up pretty well where a passenger's head would have been. They're folded over some, but not flattened. I found my '00 GTI (silver with black leather, just like this one) to have a very solid body structure. These gruesome pictures confirm that. This was a 70 mph crash. The car did very well, I'd say. After this, if I were your friend, I'd have another VW. They're very stoutly made cars.

A more finely honed joke.

Hey, that's pretty spunky! I like that... but does the 2.4L have any hope of spinning those 31's?

After seeing that "70 mph into an offset barrier" video of the Smart (courtesy Top Gear?), I was totally impressed with the car's impact protection. Sure, it bent a little, but mostly it bounced off the barrier. I think the doors still opened, even. For around town, it could do well. Hopefully it will be a high quality machine.

That is one hot and blue baby you got there, ChevyGuy. I too love the dark wheels on the SS/SC. For '07, you can get the polished version of the 18" rim on the SS/SC. To tell the truth, I think I prefer the darker version.

I saw a new Monte Carlo SS in the mall parking lot today, black with silver ground effects. Made me feel nostalgic, and kind of sad that GM put the car in a position where it lost street credibility to the point where it is endangered. The fine Chevy smallblock was too little, too late I guess.

(That's no Jetta! Whatchoo smokin', boy?) :AH-HA_wink: Damn Stang, I mean, I'm glad your friend's ok, but it's sad to see a GTI 1.8t destroyed. They are awesome little buggies.

Lucky man, that Walter. He's got 4 honeys. (Can't forget wifey!)

GT coupe with Sport Package comes with the 3.9L and six speed manual, that should shave some good time off that 0-60. Viper has to be quoting 3.5L/4 speed auto times. I am guessing the GTP 3.6L/six speed auto will run even quicker than the manual trans car. I'll bet the 2.4L/auto cars run about a second slower to 60 than the 3.5L, still not bad, and you get the economy benefits of the 4 cylinder. The G6 is selling well. Park a G6 next to a Grand Am and you'll see immediately how far GM came with the new car. Night and day better. The 4 cylinder car with the new 5 spoke pastisteel wheels looks good, I just saw a black one today.

Congratulations, Petra. She's a tough old girl, be proud of her. Viper, are you kidding? It'll take a millenia for you to reach 200k in that car.
