I thought I heard somewhere that the 3.9L was being slightly reworked and will be reintroduced later in '07? Or was I dreaming once more? Isn't it getting AFM?

Petra, just one note: the seatbacks are covered in hard plastic because you can fold the passenger side flat for loading extremely long objects. It is to provide a durable load surface.

The more I see the Compass... and now even the Patriot, the more I appreciate the 2007 Wrangler. Now that's a Jeep Thing.

Hmmm, they put a different bumper on it too. If that's ok with you, that's cool. It looks good, RBB.

Did your sister IM you from the local dragstrip?

Went to a fairgrounds at the lower end of the county to watch my cousin make milkshakes for a Cancer Society event. Bought a milkshake, a pulled chicken BBQ sammich and a wrinkled hot dog to show support. Woke up at 3 a.m. (like I've been doing for the last week and a half), stayed in bed and eventually went back to sleep. Did not dream of big trucks chasing little trucks.

I was in there for a few minutes last night, around 10:30 or so... no one there.

Ford made a 429 with hemi heads? Being a GM guy, Ford's performance history has only been tersely reviewed by me. I'd like to hear more about that Hemi Boss 429.

I would try to find a used transmission out of a salvage yard if it were me, if you want to keep it. You're talking about the '98 in your sig?

Excellent news, Mr. walc.

GM's 60-degree OHV V6 is not their best V6 (3800 and 3.6L best it, for sure), but it certainly has powered millions of cars and trucks over the past... 28 years or so... in an unobtrusive, efficient manner (Although I prefer the older versions for their exhaust note if nothing else). And the 4 speed automatic has won praise for its function from many sources. Am I wrong to believe Ford approached GM to help them jointly engineer a new 6 speed automatic partly because of GM's success with FWD transaxles?

The texture may be worn off, that looks like the rubber material the rim is made of.

Ohhhh... z. This is gonna be so cool for you. Excellent news, bud! I can't wait to see it, even in boxes.

I still say the car is handsome except for the front end. The MAXX bodystyle is very versatile (yes, I know it has not sold well, nor has the european version sold well, last I read.) And I will concede that styling still sells cars. If you were disappointed at first glance, what other evidence did you have the car would flop, except for the styling?

Well, waddya think, Mr. NeonLX, are you sufficiently brainwashed? Are you going to now buy an Accord? Are you sorry you ever posted this innocent thread? :AH-HA_wink:

You are right, Mr. Fly: I should not have spread my argument to this thread by adding to the personal attack spiral that was already in progress. Croc: you did not read my last sentence. I am not blaming you, sir. Nor am I blaming evok. I guess you had to be there for it to stick in your head as odd and out of character for either of you. I have but one criticism for the G6 convertible. If they could not have engineered the folding hardtop for adequate trunk space, they should have gone for a traditional canvas roof, which also would have had a simpler mechanism and therefore most likely been more trouble-free over time. The car is a knockout, stylingwise, and seeing the top in action is fascinating, an attention-getter, which, it seems to me to be a goal of a convertible driver. The Sebring, with that high beltline and slab sides, might be a less-attractive bucket to be seen in.

Remember, any GM vehicle must be a proportionally bigger piece of crap than its Japanese competition.

Call me stupid (and I'm sure you will), but I'm still confused about that event in chat. Someone logged in as "Croc", saying "I know you don't like us, but please lay off evok." Then "Croc" disappeared. A very strange manifestation. Somebody needs to come clean (and I'm not saying it was either of you.)

ahem... Bobby... they were missing when I bought it. I only know they existed because I checked the user's manual.

Can someone please flick provok's needle? He's stuck again. Question: are Croc and Evok the same person? Are they at least related? Or do they just share the same sunny viewpoint?

Chris, you got rid of your FourTwo?
