I wonder if these are legit 'scientists' or just some right-wing nutjobs..

The Malibu and Accord are good mass market appliances, but I wouldn't compare to premium cars from Audi or BMW...

Sad end to a once proud name....alas, it's been over 20 years since they were really nice.

7 foot, 350 lbs? You a linebacker?

Sounds promising.

Borger/PCS is a troublemaker...best to just ignore his taunts. He said he was going away because his employer (which he claims is GM) wanted him to, then he pops up again a few days later. Who knows what his agenda is, but he seems to enjoy stirring up trouble here...

I assume because the SRX is going bye-bye when the BRX comes out?

The Pretender--Foo Fighters (saw them in concert last night in Phoenix, they rock!)

Ah...cool. We need a glossary for all the TLAs around here.

I wonder if they are saving the stick for a GXP version?

I have no idea..must be yet another secret insider code that some people like throwing around.

Truck roofs are particularly weak, I've seen countless rolled over pickups with the roof mashed flat down to the bottom of the side windows...the weight and weak pillars are probably to blame.. since trucks aren't unibody, there is no crash structure there...just a collapsible metal body on top of a heavy frame.

There's a white '73 4dr Montego around here in good shape that I see once in a while.

Remember the 'G' in GM is for 'General', as in 'generic', mass audience appliances...that's where the biggest market is...

When I think of NIN, I think of the winter of 1994-1995, the endless gray of Michigan, and the endless dispair my life was then (the hell of PhD life). 'The Downward Spiral' was perfect for that period in my life.

Wot's a 'dike'?

I think is more of a problem with trucks and SUVs than cars...trucks and SUVs have higher centers of gravity, and roll easily...and with their obesity, the big trucks and SUVs seem to collapse under their own weight...

That's cool... the basic theme seems to be Toyota=happiness. Neat music.

True, some will be 4500 lbs and 18 mpg..

Strict Machine-Goldfrapp

Yes...I don't see a big future for 6000lb, 14mpg bloat beasts... probably only 1% of the buyers really need these things to tow or haul stuff.

Hummer seems pointless...if you want a 6000lb bloat beast, GM has plenty of them already with the GMT-900s that are at Chevy, GMC, and Cadillac dealers..

I wouldn't call Zeta old, esp. compared to your beloved W-body..

Nice spring weather here in Phoenix, over 80 today...saw a neat yellow Karmann-Ghia, a goregous maroon '68 Mustang coupe, a red '08 CTS, and a sweet orange Z06.
