  1. I like it. I think it's going to sell like crazy. Question is, will it become a girl's car or will guys buy it too?
  2. I don't know why, but I repeatedly read the description and titles and just couldn't understand the reason of the post. After literally 2-3 minutes, I finally looked at the picture and said, "Ah."
  3. Thank you!!
  4. I got my LaCrosse on April 30th. All summer long, it's been bombarded with a broken underground sprinkler that for some reason, my landlord couldn't seem to get fixed properly each time. I'm not one of those people that runs out to dry his car with a towel every second it gets wet... I won't go crazy for a little dirt, but I do like it to look nice and shine every now and then. That said, I didn't realize the water was hard water. The car has been through a total of 4 car washes, many downpours, a multitude of winter storms, and I STILL have hard water stains on the windows, mirrors, chrome and body. My car hasn't shined since the day I got it. How can I get rid of these deposits without damaging the paint or chrome?
  5. Thanks guys. It was a really nice day... not so nice for my parents and their Lucerne, but still nice for me.
  6. I can't lie, I love it. I'd consider one.
  7. I feel like changing the name would go like this: Agent: "We have a Chevrolet SCV for you." Customer: "What's that?" Agent: "You know the Impala? They changed the name. Same car."
  8. See, what bothers me is why didn't they think about this from the start? When they first talked about the Encore and mentioned the 1.4L Turbo, my brain instantly said, "And?" I feel in most cases a more powerful powertrain should always be an option. There's always a group of people out there who do want a bit more punch. Think about it--you're marketing a small CUV... something you can load up with cargo... that adds on weight... throw in more passengers and you have something that'll probably be a bit sluggish.

    HEAD STOPPER

    As an owner of a 2013 LaCrosse... amen. I have to be very careful getting in and out of the LaCrosse...
  10. I assume a 6-speed with this?
  11. Not digging the rear 3/4, but otherwise I think it's gorgeous all over.
  12. Love it. As others have said, would love to see something different, like a pushbutton shift.
  13. HATE the gauge cluster.
  14. 2014 Grand Cherokee
  15. I'm not going to read the comments in this thread because honestly, I have a feeling it's going to get political and we're on a sensitive subject for me. I got a pack of chalk today. I was told it needs to last me the year. The copier worked and I didn't get punched and no one came to my class high, so all-in-all, a good day, even if I just did get home at 10PM.
  16. I'd like you to try: 2014 Corolla 2014 Impala 2014 Regal Turbo (not sure if it's out yet) 2014 LaCrosse (not sure if it's out yet, and I'm more interested in interior quality since my center console squeaks and feels somewhat cheap) 2014 Azera/Cadenza 2014 Avalon 2014 500/500L (just for $h! and giggles)
  17. Regarding a comment in the thread about the small armrest... if it's anything like mine, it is small. Mine moves fore and aft though... I keep it back only because when you move it forward, it exposes the greased track which can get on things if you're not careful.
  18. I'm not digging the Chevy's front... LOVE the interiors on both... and for the first time in my life, after looking at the Yukon Denali, I thought, "Hey, I could see myself in one of those."
  19. Make it light, have a quick, peppy, fuel-efficient engine, classy interior with a lot of available tech features and it will sell big.
  20. Yes Drew. I'm thinking if I remove the flash drive and erase it, then reinsert it so the car "indexes" a new, blank drive, when I recopy all the files it'll correct itself. It's just ridiculous it's not refreshing correctly (nor is there an option I can see to refresh it). All this said... I truly am a happy owner. I love this car. The 3.6L when spooled up is fun to drive.
  21. In the 2010-Present LaCrosse, the Door Unlock is on the center console. Holding unlock does not unlock the trunk as it did in the previous generation LaCrosse. I find it ridiculous there's no way to unlock the trunk from the inside of the car. If I have someone running to the car in the rain with their hands full, I have to get out of the car to open the trunk for them and get wet myself, OR shut the car off to use the fob (the trunk release doesn't work on the fob if the car is running). Why would GM make it impossible to open the trunk from inside the car while the car is running and parked? Secondly, I use a USB flash drive to store music and play back in the car. When I put the drive in, originally I had 40 folders. I removed the flash drive, added a soundtrack to the drive and put it back in the car. The car now doubled the number of folders while adding the new one as well.. it says I have 81 folders. What's even weirder... the new folder isn't in alphabetical order like all the others. It's just randomly showing up. I have added other songs to existing folders and added an additional folder since then, and now I show 82 folders, with the two newest ones being inserted randomly (not alphabetically). Anyone know how to rectify this? When I put the flash drive on my computer, it comes up alphabetically listed, and 42 folders like it should.
  22. Love everything but the name.
  23. I was never a fan for going the Super Luxury route yet... I feel it's a waste. I'd love to see Cadillac successfully fight a 7-series, A8, S-class. I don't think they have it in them just yet, but they're close. I feel that's where they should focus their attentions right now.
  24. I'm very mixed about this. I'm tired of the whole sharing of things. I understand doing it for one or two brands, but I feel like it gets abused at times which concerns me when we look at past history. Another problem is that Buick is getting this after the Equinox/Terrain have been out for a while... it's almost as though they're near the need for a change and Buick just got slightly dated material. I could be wrong, GM has been surprising me with healthy updates. Also, the name... Anthem? Not feeling it. The good new is, this is bound to be more attractive than the Encore... I have only seen a few of them on the road and I just can't get into them. They all have that "pregnant roller skate" look to them. The idea of an SUV/CUV that size to fit between the Encore and Enclave, good. Let's just hope it's done right. Powertrains need to be new. I don't want to see the 2.4L with eAssist as the base engine.
  25. I've watched a review on the Cruze diesel... I think this is an awesome step in the right direction for GM. Get some small diesels out there in your cars. You don't need to reinvent the wheel with all of your small DI engines, turbos, mixed with low resistance tires and start/stop this, active air shutters, etc. I feel that the diesel does better than the Cruze ECO with like half the tech (granted the ECO doesn't have start/stop tech). Not only does it do it well, it does it with a ton of torque.
