  3. Well, better, but not wonderful. Anyone know if they got the DoD on the 3.9 to work without the problems?

  9. Okay, you saw the Super... can you tell me if you heard any news about a refresh for the non-Super versions? Like, will there be a grille change for the others? And maybe a body-colored grille for the Super?I'm sorry to hear about the pricing for the Super being high, because I would have thought with GM's new pricing strategy, they would have come down a little.
  10. I love my dark blue interior And I love my dad's maroon interior. Miss having those options!
  11. Okay, I find it interesting that he said the mpg meter resets when you refuel. Not sure if I like that. Also, he said the wood was fake... I swear I read somewhere that it would be genuine maple. Well, if it is fake, it looks lightyears better than the old crap. Thought the review was fair.. had positive and negative. I'd like to see more reviews like this. Not sure how the car is smaller overall inside if it's the same on the outside, wider even.
  12. Damn.And I can't believe they get Bluetooth technology, yet we don't! The LaCrosse there is far more luxurious a car than ours here. I wonder how North America would have taken to it if this was our LaCrosse?
  13. I really can't wait to see what changes will actually be in store for the up-level LaCrosse. A definite refresh of the car is in order--even though it's only been out for 2 years now.
  14. Not that this makes a huge difference, but the 2003-2005 2.4L in the Accord output 160hp/161torque... it is in 2006 that it received "more power than ever before" (according to the Honda website).
  15. Of course they are, but here we're trying to have the same impact. It's attention to little details like these that may make a car look a little better. I am a huge fan of the Lucerne, but I can definitely think of a few little things to change that would make a HUGE difference.
  16. Why does Buick in China get to defy little traditions like blue-lit gauges and real wood interiors, when Buick in the US gets stuck with slightly less?
  17. I can't see them

  21. That was one of the incredible aspects of Life Is Beautiful... their love. Dora just NEEDED to be near her family, even if it puts her in the path of death, and Guido, he had to protect his child, as well as keep his wife hopeful (by playing her song, yelling messages over the loudspeaker), throughout the devastation. Ocn, I'm almost tempted to drive out to PA to see it with you. Of course, I'll be more prepared this time by having two boxes of Kleenex with me! lolTrinacriabob, another EXCELLENT Italian film is L'ultimo bacio (The Last Kiss). You can actually rent it at Blockbuster, although it's a bit difficult to find. Essentially it's about 5 guys, all friends and in different parts of their lives (one married with a child, one single, one a player, one engaged, etc.), and how they're coping with women and all the changes happening about them. What I love about it is, with ALL of the different scenarios, it presents relationship problems from like a full lifetime... like mid-twenties to senior-age status. However, do NOT watch it with someone who might be offended by profanity as "cazzo" is like every other word.

  24. Roberto, Cosa pensi che sceglo io? lol
  25. Let me tell you a FUNNY story...I have seen Cinema Paradiso God knows how many times over SO many years... last year, I decided, "Oh, I'll show this to my students before a vacation, we'll do some work on Sicily and geography, and they'll get a kick out of the movie." I never knew there were two versions of the film. So, there I am in the back of the room, grading papers, and I hear, "Uh, Profe G.... Profe G!" and I look up and there are two people SCREWING in a CHURCH... totally naked... just going at it... grunting, grinding... I thought I was going to black out. At least I remembered to fast-forward the scene towards the beginning of the film where the boys are jerking off in the front row of the theater LOL Naturally, I showed this movie because I felt La vita è bella (Life Is Beautiful), would be too upsetting for them, too mature and emotional a theme for my sixth graders to handle. Naturally, the sevenths and eighths saw La vita è bella--you know, the clean film! LOL The movie was incredibly dour... that was one of the comments I made to my friends is how depressing it is, start to finish, with like no ups at all.Yes, it is about how people process adversity, and I noticed that element in it, but I just couldn't help but identify with too many elements of the gay characters, being gay myself. As for the disturbing part, I imagined that what happened, because of the mention of the tire iron in Jack Twist's "accident", Ennis invisioned and felt throughout his body, the same reaction to the story he told in the beginning of the movie. My only other concern was that maybe Jack didn't have an "accident", and maybe it happened for the same reason as in the story Ennis tells in the beginning. But I can't think too much of that now... I'm truly spent... drained.
