Ooooh yeah... they could do an edgy little brother for the SRX based off the Vibe..call it BRX or CRX..

One thing about the Vibe I gotta say--it looks much better than the Matrix..the Matrix is hideous, IMHO.

Yeah..that was one of the funniest Dilberts I've read in a long time...made me LOL..

Cool... my team is only 5 people, but one is in Minnesota, one is in Montana, one works from home frequently, and one works from 5:30am to 2:30pm, so we don't have in-person team meetings...usually a conference call and NetMeeting.

Ya... tomorrow is another day, a new sunrise, another commute, another 8 hrs in the cube...life goes on.

N/P...I'll probably get bored of Cubical and switch back someday...

Ya...I really hope Chrysler survives and once again thrives.... and I hope the 200C and NG 300C and Charger make it to production, along w/ the 4th gen GC.

Well, if everything is as cool as the Prius and Insight, we have nothing to worry about for the future....

Got both...I wouldn't live in AZ without a pool...have a nice big one--has a diving board, is about 25x15 or so, 12 feet deep or so at the deep end.

You wouldn't like 100 in April, then? Had a couple 100 degree days here last week. And it snowed in Denver today. I'll be back in Denver for a long weekend later this week, looking forward to the cooler weather.

I've always been a general car enthusiast, owned Ford, GM, BMW, and Chrysler products. I just love cars and driving in general...there are definitely some current GMs I'd like to own at some point in time or another, including the G8. I'm saddened to see Pontiac exit, but this has been coming on for a long time... I'm not going to give up on my car enthusiasm.

Probably..they said more plant closings were coming...

Ummm...that's what is..just a Daewoo generic.

It's business..GM is doing anything they can to survive right now. Maybe they can sell off a brand or two to Toyota.

Interesting... well, they could build a reskinned Avalon as an Impala (to get rid of the W- body), or bring back the Chevy Blazer name on an FJ Cruiser variant. Or a next-gen HHR based on the Matrix or xB. Or they could introduce a new midsize pickup for Chevy and GMC based on the Tacoma, to augment the Colorado/Canyon. Lots of possibliities (if they were to go beyond the Corolla platform). More realistically, sticking to the Corolla platform, I could see an HHR replacement or a small Buick sedan..

How about G3GXP?

I assume Pontiac is dead also for Canada and Mexico (Pontiac's other markets)? So far, what I've seen says US.

Not to mention BMWs usually have the service for several years bundled into the lease or purchase, so that's a non-issue. I think service may even be included in CPO deals. It's only when they get old and high mileage do BMWs (and Mercs) become money pits, as far as I've observed.

That's why my sig is as it is..

Yeah, must be one of the perks of having the C&G Black Card..

I decided to change from 'Moltar' which I was bored with, to 'Cubical'. Thought about 'Qubikal' also. Cubical is a handle I've used in other contexts, and also is part of my hip-hop stage name, DJ Cubical.

Probably cars.com. They meant Aura, and the Passat makes sense as a competitor, along with the Milan, Avalon, and Azera, possibly the ES350?

Ya, one of my best friends as a child was a farmer's son (now runs the family farm himself) and they had a couple red w/ white roof mid '70s Ford F700s stake trucks, a large red & white IH Semi grain hauler, and always red w/ white top Ford LTDs and F250 pickups. Red and white was their farm color motif. And a neighbor that used to deliver gravel for our driveway had a late '60s IH Paystar dump truck, also red. Old stake bed trucks and dump trucks give me warm fuzzies for childhood in Eastern Ohio..

Isn't Holden going to be building GMDAT FWD generic sh*t soon?

Now more than ever it is time for Pingas. Pingas is emblematic of the randomness and meaninglessness of these times. I was thinking about posting something Pingas in the 'Pontiac is Dead' thread earlier to lighten up the grimness.
