I don't know why I read that as "Autopsies" Yup, I think it was a dorm pic. He was looking up into the camera--someone took the picture from above (he was sitting). Nick, said it before, I'll say it again, you're F'in cute as hell.

Okay, so now I know you're white lolWhat else ya got?

Arg... you tease!

But what kills me is that it would be SO easy for them to just make a center stack, with the openings cut out of them so the controls stuck through them and you wouldn't see the hideous box that they just slide in. It would look flush, better-integrated. That's it--that's all the effort needed.

Uffa! ;) Okay, so, if you want a humorous "gay" movie, rent "Eating Out". It was SO funny to me, particularly because I was in a similar situation as the straight girl, Gwen. She kept dating gay guys. I watched it with my friend Catherine, who has the same luck, and coincidentally dated me and caused me to come out. The little sister of the main character killed me when he comes out to his family and she laughs and points screaming, "Fag. You're it!" lol

It's a good start though--the car handling well, driving quietly, good gearbox--all good things to hear from their reviews. The interior, well, we've heard that one before, and honestly, I can't blame them. I get more and more aggravated when I see a GM vehicle with a center stack, and then a rectangle outline of the radio/HVAC controls just slipped in. They SO need to stop doing that!

I know how you feel... I'm anxious to know the future of this car. I think though 2008 is a little far away for a refresh and some new equipment. The car needs a tweak for next year, 2007. It's "okay" now. Needs a refresh to make sure it's "okay" next year, instead of already below average.

WAIT WAIT WAIT... a dry razor?!

OMG! BV! I had a student today with the exact quote written on her shirt that is on your signature right now! lol And all day... I just kept saying to myself, "I know I've heard that somewhere before... but where?!"

Are you really? I'm sorry if you are.

My absolute hates: 1) No signal 2) Making your turn after the green arrow has disappeared and red one is in place, and tailing people way after the opposite flow of traffic has been given the right to go. 3) People who leave their signal on for a long time, and then turn/merge the opposite direction. 4) Having no functioning taillamps/brake lights. I mean, seriously, how do you let it get that bad? I check my taillamps once a week--I at least look when it's dark out to make sure there's a red illumination on the road before I head out. 5) People who are FLYING down in the left lane when I'm already going 25 mph over the speed limit, and they flash and tail you for a mile until you move when the center lane is completely open for them to go around you. 6) And finally, that one schmuck (pardon my language), who drove on the shoulder to pass me on the right and get on the parkway 0.25 seconds quicker than me, kicking up a stone that chipped my windshield pretty deep.

OMG... "an acceleration feeling of a different dimension" JUST FUCKING GET OVER YOURSELVES. I'm so sick of it already.

I thought the hp/torque stats were lower in the LaCrosse because of something having to do with the car just losing power being FWD. But I could be WAY off... this is one of those things that is way out of my league for understanding. As for the 3900 in the LaCrosse, that wouldn't be wise because it would totally make the CXS trim obsolete other than a few ride enhancements. Think: Impala w/ 3900, 242hp/242lb-ft - and 3.6 in LaCrosse, 240hp/225lb-ft. The 3900 would actually be more powerful in the LaCrosse than the 3.6L.

I wonder what the interior differences will be? I mean, I know the illumination will not be red, but rather a yellowish color, but will this car get any features that'll be different? Maybe auto-climate control? I dunno, anything more upscale or will it just be identical?

When will we know what changes to the LaCrosse will be made? i.e. engine and transmission changes (if they put the 6A into it)

No... it's "lew". But "loo" in meaning water closet is pronounced "lew".

I believe it's pronounced "loo", as in British slang for a water closet. I always said, "Luh Say-brah", even though in French it's "Luh Sah-breh".

That's really cool! ^_^

Oh, so then we don't have to worry about that because GM would just team it up with the 4-speed auto lol :lol:

Well, as I said in a previous post, how about something as simple as auto climate control!? C'mon... you get get that in a Civic now. Nav? Can I just say that for the like 10th time I passed a Sienna at night, and thought the gauges would be a very nice update for Buicks? They're electroluminescent, but have a blue ring around them with a bright white needle and I believe white digits. It would be nice to see something like this introduced into Buicks--maybe keep the traditional bluish-green color, but make it bright with LED or the like, and some white needles--give the car a more upscale-look. (the white circles glow blue at night)

Honestly, I feel there is a fine line between the difference of a station wagon and one of these crossovers. I see the difference, but since they are relatively similar, it is why I tend to not like crossovers much. I HATE minivans, and like SUVs. The less like an SUV the crossover looks, the less I tend to like it.

It has what seems to be the #1 characteristic of a minivan: it's ugly. :lol:

Okay, and think of that in a larger car than the CTS, by about eight inches. We're talking a power output with 36lb-ft less torque than the current 3800... and that's on the CTS, whereas on the LaCrosse, the torque may be lower.

Yes, the revised definitely looks better. I'd love to see this built as the next Equinox/Torrent.

Yes, but can't they make something that looks nice as well? Also, you're a premium division and you can't cough up auto climate control on the highest trim level?
