McCain's trend
Bingo... doesn't matter what political party, she is totally unqualified to be president. This makes McCain's judgment look very poor---the Repubs have many more qualified women--Christine Todd Whitman, for example? Or men--why not Tom Ridge? Mitt Romney?

Agreed...GM has more than enough FWD crossovers now...why does Cadillac need one? The big leagues have RWD-based ones (M-B, BMW, Land Rover, and even Infiniti). Modern, Sigma based RWD/AWD crossovers to replace the SRX and a larger one to replace the Escalade would be great for Cadillac...something competitive with the X3, GLK, and LR2 at the small end, and something competitive with the X6,ML/GL, LR3 and Range Rover at the larger end.

Spy Shot: Chevy Volt caught from the beltline up
So it's just a movie Decipticar... not anything real..

More bad news, potentially..I guess 2 seat sports cars don't fit with the business model of all FWD generics, all the time... Rumor: GM kills Kappa II

Well, they have to keep Avis supplied w/ cars...that's been Pontiac's growth market in recent years..

FUTURE PRODUCTS -- GENERAL MOTORS
Well, we know that's not going to happen..GM has too much baggage in the mainstream brands to spend what it needs to spend on Cadillac to give it a fully competitive lineup....

Seems like Zetas are definitely heavy enough to be Buicks, then.

Actually, Holden only has a few models that are Pontiac-ish--the performance versions of the Commodore. The LWB Caprice and Statesman are Buickish (i.e Park Avenue in China), and the rest of their line is FWD generics---Chevywoo crap and Opels.

Don't be dissin' Hillary..she's infinitely more qualified than a right winger NRA hockey mom from nowheresville...

OH OH! part deux
Looks very clean...never seen vanity mirrors for the rear seat passengers like that before.

Dodge Viper Might Find Life After Conner Avenue
Well, the ACR has a cupholder, so it must street-legal.

McCain's trend
She has the huntin', fishin', gun worshipin' credentials that will appeal to the rural folk, I think...but isn't remotely qualified to be VP, IMHO.

McCain's trend
Yes, which is hilarious, since the social conservatives in the party's base are always preaching about chastity and saving one's self for marriage. I've never understood the social conservatives--prudish about sex, but obsessed with guns.

My Humps
Lyrically, definitely one of the worst ever, IMHO... not the most annoying ever...my nominee for most annoying song is 'Jump Around' from House of Pain...

Did your wife call the police so they could arrest the stupid ho?

Apparently so...which is sad.. the big league luxury brands aren't going to give up their V8s....stopping development on the Northstar replacement was a mistake, IMHO..

I don't see the point in spending more on an old platform when they have a perfectly good new platform that they are underutilizing...(Zeta).

Let's hear it for a cheap fix!
The G8 could benefit from some optional two tone interiors, IMHO...at least some color inserts for the door panels and seats.

Two new 2009 G8 colors...
Very nice..I like the Pacific Slate and the red..

I wondered about that movie..haven't seen any reviews of it..the trailers kinda reminded me of The Fifth Element or Johnny Neumonic..

Simple Pleasures
When I'm home, I love lazy Sunday mornings... brew up some coffee, curl up in a comfy chair, read the New York Times online, with a warm terrier in my lap, listening to some jazz or atmospheric Brian Eno on the surround sound...later, take a swim then make an omlette for brunch. The work week can be so intense, with it's ups and downs, cubicle life, etc... jumping into a new contract 1 week from now, so I'm enjoying a little down time right now. The times I deeply enjoy are those like this holiday weekend, spending time in Ohio w/ my Mom and brother whom I don't see often enough...enjoyed getting my Mustangs out for a fast drive on the incredible backroads of Ohio yesterday and this morning... headed over tomorrow to Dayton to visit w/ my sister then fly back to Phoenix tomorrow night.. I'm going back to Denver for a weekend at the end of Sept, I need to spend some time with my closest friends...a lunch, a quiet dinner, just hanging out at a coffee shop...important moments in a hectic life.

I bet under hard acceleration or braking, any items in there would go flying out, though..needs a little lip around the edge, IMHO.

June '10 is my 40th birthday..that's why I was thinking of getting myself a mid life crisis fun car then... Unfortunately, the only cars GM offers that I could seriously consider buying are the CTS, G8, and upcoming Camaro. I just can't sell out and go FWD.. I kind of like the Sostice and Sky, but the lack of usable trunk space and only having two seats kind of limit their appeal to me...though I may have to test drive the Red Line.
-
FUTURE PRODUCTS -- GENERAL MOTORS
Depressing...just more FWD generics and a couple token RWD models. If they are going to f*ck around and not a have a Camaro convertible for '10, then I'll get a Mustang GT instead come June '10.
