See, the Camry is almost exactly what I would look for in a car (in terms of quietness, comfort, size, etc.), but I drove my friend's parents' 2006 Camry LE, and was beyond disappointed. Yes, it's quiet. Yes, it's mushy. But something about it just felt off... very off... was it the vagueness of the steering? Was it the super soft brake pedal? Was it the fact that I couldn't find a comfortable driving position? Was it the gawd-awful styling? Yeah.

What are you kidding?! I LOVE Toyota Koolaid... it's the BEST!! Toyota Koolaid #1!!

Wow. All are terrible, but number 4 really makes you just stop and think. I can't say I don't understand suicide since I was once suicidal, but now that I'm in a different place, it just makes me upset that the person didn't get the help they needed to get through their pain.

Well, uh, wow. I love reading something like this a few days after watching that video on how Toyota treats their employees...

I'll be honest... I didn't notice the difference until they pointed it out. I was like, "Oh yeah. I guess it's different."

No no... tell me you're joking?! The Cruze will be the name for the NA market? That's terrible?! And what's with all the name changing again? I thought we were finally getting away from that? They just introduced the Cobalt a few years ago, and now that the SS got praise and the XFE is the most fuel-efficient small car, I say keep the same name.

Wait... what's the point of this car with the Genesis being around? Am I missing something? They'll have the Sonata, Azera, and then Genesis all in the lineup?

I'm going to support whatever decision you make. Can I have a Lucerne CXL? Just tell your wife the car you chose cost 30K more than it actually does.

I hope you feel better soon!

It's looking good... I'm a little confused about the top of the dash vs. the dash of the concept... it doesn't look like it matches. Could be just a weird angle in these shots.

Sigh, I miss this car. I would love to see a new supercharged or DI Riviera for Buick.

Happy Birthday!

Mustang, don't worry about the age difference... if she gets along with you and you like her, go for it. So, she has a little more history than you, it's really nothing. If you were to marry her, 7 years in the scheme of things isn't that different. Have some fun and don't over analyze it for now.

Are you happy keeping the constant secret? I told my mother and it made things easier in the sense that she won't ask me where my girl is... although now I have the problem of her trying to convince me she knows how to make me straight. Seriously though, I'm very close to just walking away from my family... primarily because of my mother. It's going to be hard if I do it, because it's unheard of in a tight-knit Italian family, but honestly, how much longer can I spend my life lying to my family (because I was told to not tell others of my 'problem'), or listening to how this is a decision and if I turn to God, I'll be cured? I can't spend the rest of my life being miserable. Neither should you.

The guilt just goes away eventually. However, I'd still call and explain you misread the email and checked it out again after the Q was over. I'm sure he'll believe you rather than thinking you did it intentionally.

PS - the Enclave badging on the lower driver's door looks really nice!

I honestly had the same reaction to these wheels when I saw the similar 18's on the Aura XR for the first time. I loved the Aura's concept wheels, but hated the production 18's. Well, nonetheless, it's a beautiful vehicle! Lots of luck!

It's beautiful K.C.! Ever consider some aftermarket wheels? I love the Enclave so much, but the one thing I dislike is the look of those 19" wheels. I liked the ones on the concept much better.

I'll admit, I read the title and thought you were posting about the song. It's amazing how close grandparents can be, isn't it? I'm so glad she was supportive of you Chris, it must have felt amazing.

Happy Birthday everyone!!

Not sure I'm a fan of the taillamps, and I see the got rid of the orange-illuminated gauges. Nice overall.

It means you need to load a ream of 8x11.5" paper into the actual cell phone. Seriously, call AT&T. I have never heard someone enjoy their service.

It could use a better faux wood and a nicer center stack/controls.
