Freakin Dog!
My dog hated the crate we got for her, and she chewed a hole through it big enough to get out of!

Buick Skylark to replace Excelle in China in '09
They meant G5, but I think they're just saying that it is the same size or whatever as a G5. You're right, but as I said above it probably meant G5.

Buick Skylark to replace Excelle in China in '09
At least one part of the article is wrong: the start date of the Chinese Buick Global Delta. It certainly won't be here as a 2010MY vehicle.

Even More Vectra/Aura Spy Pics
It starts production in Europe in a bit over a year, and starts production here in a bit over two years.

NEW VECTRA W/O CAMO!!!
The European press apparently thought the real thing looked fantastic.

NEW VECTRA W/O CAMO!!!
First thing I thought when I saw these was "chops." Definitely not real.

More 2008 Saturn VUE pics
My dealer got in a base, base XE. I think it had 2 inexpensive options. Looked pretty good, and the plastic moldings were surprisingly high quality. Interior looked top notch for the segment.

Official Vectra/Aura Pic?
I don't see what is so bad about the Bangle rear end. The BMW's with it are starting to look normal, and this is much less pronounced.

Official Vectra/Aura Pic?
It looks like the taillights still have camo on them? Also looks very similar to the other spy shots we've seen.

2007 Lucerne CXL 3.8 hesitation
It sounds like the tranny is hesitant to down shift to me.

Great Camaro thread with Fbodfather question
AutoX package would be nice, but I don't see the need for more than three pacakges or so. Z/28, SS, and RS along with something for AutoX (more aggressive suspension tuning, etc.) would be enough, I think. I see no reason to have countless models like the Mustang; I personally feel there are too many Mustang models and it's getting old.

Full Test: 2007 Sierra Denali
Who knows. The Yukon Denali did 0-60 in 6.2s, and I don't know but I'm guessing it's at least as heavy as the Sierra. Depends on the tires, too.

New Dodge crossover
Overall shape looks good to me, we'll have to see what the fascias are like and of course I'm not crossing my fingers for the interior to be good.

Even More Vectra/Aura Spy Pics
This looks impressive so far; much better than the Accord based on spy shots.

New Camaro Questions
A 90* V6 is a terrible idea.

SPY SHOTS! 2008 Honda Accord sedan
There is very little camo on the Accord, you can tell what it is going to look like except for a few details, and you can tell it's not going to be particularly stylish or attractive.

G6 Eps. 2 release date
Ahh, okay, my bad. Yes, that's way off.
-
G6 Eps. 2 release date
As in the '08 Malibu? No. Where'd you get that from? The LaCrosse, Aura, 9-5, Aura wagon, and 9-3 are all coming out before the NG Malibu.

Need to *help* a colleague at work...
You say she needs trunk room for her "beach stuff." What does that consist of? Some towels, sunscreen, and maybe something else? I think that might have enough trunk space for "beach stuff" even though it doesn't have much.

Tundra ad
No where in the Chevy ad does it claim to be a real demonstration. The Tundra ad does.

Production G8 nose in Red
People like the wacky colors of the muscle car era now because they're rare and more valuable. If person X bought a lime green Charger tomorrow just to be different, in 4 years person X would most likely be pretty tired of lime green. Now, I could actually see those cars being worth more when it comes time to resell, but only private-party and only to certain buyers. Otherwise, they'd be worth less most likely. I'd rather have something that stands out like stripes than a weird color. TorRed looks good, though. For instance, which of these paint schemes would you rather have to look at after 5 years of owning: Oh, and technically the GTO got here before the LX cars

Chrysler Sold to Cerebus
Damn, they went really cheap. We'll see what effect this has on Chrysler's short-term sales and I also think next year's NY show (NAIAS and Chicago seem too soon) will be pretty telling (with concepts) as to what Cerebus will be able to do. Unfortunately, most of the stuff to come for the next ~2-3 years is pretty much locked in I would think. I doubt we're going to be seeing much on the road for a good 4 years that the new management has developed. Notice how long it took the Lutz cars to come at GM.

The V8.

First Two Enclave's on Ebay
The gap does seem rather uneven, hopefully they fix it quickly. I think I'd pick ebony interior, but it'd be a very tough decision.
