gm4life, you make me want to go get mine detailed. Like right now. -
True, especially when coming down from 365. The article did mention that it has happened before only a couple of times in other vehicles. GM's best move is to tell the customers that they're reflashing the ECU in order to fix a potential problem. In other words, don't Toyota this up.
-
That could be true too. Can't really engineer for that. Speaking of... Drew, any noticeable loss in power when you ran regular in your test? I know that the 3.5EB in the Taurus SHO loses 10 HP if it gets regular gas.
-
Customer's fault, and they're STILL programming a fix. A real one, ostensibly. Though I am surprised that a failsafe like this got through the system.

I had Kansas in the Final Four... so that hurts. Beyond that, I'm not sad about it. As a matter of fact, I'm not sad about any team that loses, really, since I don't have close ties to any of the schools (Old Dominion and Richmond had been the closest, each being in my home state). But I will say that this year's tournament has been extremely entertaining... and we haven't gotten to the Sweet 16 round yet.
-
I'm gonna pay attention to ODU later too. Gotta support my hometown, even though my bracket doesn't have them beating Baylor.
-
One person in my league had his championship wiped out in the first day. Could St. Mary's be this year's Cinderella? It looks like it...
-
Looks like E85's only advantage is that it's for the most part renewable.
-
I have 21/32 so far. Georgetown, Temple, and Vanderbilt losing hurt me a LOT. I still have my Final Four intact (Kansas, Syracuse, Kentucky, Purdue), with Syracuse beating Kentucky in the finals.

If I could spare it, I'd put money on the chance that she's vying for her own reality show.
-
This exactly.

Wow... when this thread started, I was a senior in college. Since way back when: BA Spanish (minor in Mathematics), Virginia Tech, 2005 MAEd Curriculum and Instruction - Second Language Education, Virginia Tech, 2006 (degree barely used, if at all) MA Spanish, American University, 2009 PhD Hispanic Linguistics, University of Georgia, ca. 2014 (I start this fall)

Nice.
-
Studies had actually shown the exact opposite in prior years, especially in the Afr-Am community. Socialization of skin color is no joke. On a less psychological note, I wish they had said where in Louisiana this took place. It would explain a lot (supply/demand and all that). I'm willing to bet that WalMart stores don't base their product mix on customer demand like auto dealerships do.

Beat me to it.
-
We know, Camino, we know.
-
Wagons are all well and good. The poll asked for *car* body styles, though, and here come the trucks and SUVs... I'm just nitpicking though.
-
Still a misleading statement by the writer. If GM lists the engine as a 3.6L, then dangit, it should be referred to as a 3.6L. The LaCrosse engine is closer to 3.6L than the Lexus engine is to 3.5L, anyway. If the LaCrosse had, say, a 3387cc engine, I can all but guarantee that MT wouldn't say that both cars "have a 3.4L V6 (give or take a few cc)." They'd call the 3457cc Lexus engine by designation (3.5L) without all the rounding crap.
-
That's the thing though. No one really knows what to expect for $35K since everyone knows what to expect for 20 and everyone knows what to expect for 50. There's not a lot to compare it to in this segment, either. On another note, did anyone else notice that MT said that both cars had a 3.5L V6? Lack of fact-checking on their part, but then again, what else is new?
-
LOL @ people not following directions...
-
Today, I saw a Hyundai Genesis sedan with an unfamiliar grille. All it had was the chrome outline with a Genesis logo at the top... completely blacked out inside. Anyone else seen one of these on the road?
-
I voted "sedan" without hesitation. My order of preference is sedan-wagon-coupe-hatch-convertible.
-
Snow has been melting expeditiously here... a good thing, because dirty plowed snow makes February not look as pretty outside.
-
Strangely enough, the last time I read CR (3 years ago), most luxury cars were rated below average in reliability, especially the German sedans.
-
I like both of them for what they're supposed to be.
