  1. Hmmm... Jeep never made a 4.0L V6...
  2. Odd, my 2012 Cruze 1LT had auto-up windows.
  3. I'd love to know, too. Who's got the scoop?
  4. Make the Code 4 cylinder only, keep the Camaro bigger and with V6/V8. Priced accordingly.
  5. Code 130RS
  6. clete... that... NOVA....

    Rant Thread

    He prolly wants a studfinder, or some other construction tool from Home Depot.
  8. 2013 Corvettes are on the lots.
  9. A Wrangler Sport S the way I'd want it: $28,885. Commando Green. I wish Jeep offered the option of a black wheel. That color with black hardtop would look better with black wheels than the machined-face aluminum jobs.
  10. Dud you never take your mother with you shopping. Cardinal Rule #1 Well I had plans to go shopping by myself and take a, shall we say, more thorough look at the Sonic RS, up to and including... but then she called and asked me to take her to finish her Xmas shopping.
  11. *eyes glazed over* How do you know this about me? Yeah, the idea of a Sonic RS, as sweet a car as it is, has deflated for the time being. Nothing really wrong with the Patriot. After one year of usage, pros and cons: Pros: Handy size, smaller than Escape/Equinox/Terrain Pretty comfortable Trouble-free so far except for the door trim panel I had replaced under warranty Boston Acoustics stereo Jeep style Weird color still gets positive comments Capability relative to others in this CUV class Cons: Engine drone on acceleration CVT transmission makes veh feel sluggish Vibration at idle in gear pretty pronounced Small fuel tank restricts driving range MPG on the low side v. others in this CUV class Economy car bones show through skin at times Would I buy another Patriot? Only if it had a better behaved, more powerful 4 cylinder and a conventional automatic transmission, or a manual available with Trail Rated chassis. EDIT: one more odd little thing... I still almost miss the gas pedal with my foot, and sometimes my foot slips off of it because it is so far to the right from what I'm used to... after 13 months of use!
  12. Yup, Wentzville, MO, home of the Express/Savana currently.
  13. Maybe make the Caravan the long wheelbase family hauler with 3 rows and the T&C the more luxurious, short wheelbase 2 row van.
  14. I like the rims on your truck too, Daryl. Those are my favorite ones on the current truck.
  15. I want to learn as much as I can about the new midsize GM pickup trucks. After seeing the fantastic new fullsizers, I have great expectations.
  16. I have no motivating holiday spirit this year, 2012 has gone down as a crappy year. But enough about that! Hopefully, December 25th will be everything you all want yours to be. Have a great one, and here's to a bigger, better 2013! *santa's sleigh gif*
  17. 1960's Chevy window van in black primer, with what appeared to be an aluminum tray on the roof... not sure if it was the remnants of a pop-up sleeper.
  18. Unfortunately I had my mother with me when I looked at the Sonic RS. She threw cold water on my idea and the shrinkage was terrible.
  19. sika
  20. Yup, havin' a bit of range anxiety...
  21. I totally agree. It's green, it's got skinny, knobby tires and it's awesome!
  22. How can I find out about what's going on in the GM plant designated to build the next Colorado/Canyon? Is it currently in use, or is it closed for the transition to these new trucks? If it is in transition, how can I find out how much progress has been made? I am interested in knowing when these trucks will be shown in US trim, and when they are scheduled to go on sale.
  23. I wonder if the MKC will be shown in Detroit City.
