Robert Hall

I would be really surprised if McCain picked him as VP...they seem so different, I can't see them on the same ticket..but who knows.

Amazing...you do see all views, though..I was chatting about Nascar with 3 coworkers yesterday, all of whom are much bigger fans than I am...and they drive Hondas, Toyotas, and Acuras..not a domestic car owner in the group.

So Romney's gone...I was surprised he dropped out so soon after Tuesday, but mathematically he can't catch up to McCain in the remaining primaries...so when will Huckabee quit? Interesting developments..

I'm wondering if they will downsize the next Equinox to cover the small crossover market..

True, the driving experience is what it's all about....but in my world, commuting is part of daily life...I want a car that's good at both the slog and the occasional weekend mountain road fun drive...and creature comforts definitely help out with commuting. That's one of the things I love about BMWs is that they are great at both. American cars should be that way also...

Yeah, if you look at the pics, the rear overhang is noticably longer on the Traverse..

The key word there is 'were'. It's not 1970 anymore....

Fine... I want mine loaded, you want yours stripped.... that's what option lists are for.

Wow..that's cheap..to get something equivalent to that here in the Denver area is easily $400k or more. I moved out of the midwest over a decade ago, but lately have thought about moving back before June '10, primarily to be closer to family in Ohio... I've been looking at the Columbus or Pittsburgh areas, trying to get a feel for how the software job market is in those metro areas...

I don't view modern features as a requirement, but things that should be definitely available as options...I like modern performance cars that mix luxury with performance...nothing wrong with that. I like the retro styling of cars like the Mustang and Challenger, but I don't want retro content (i.e. no vinyl seats, am radios, and manual windows..

I don't see the Challenger as a Monte or T-bird style car..it's a larger version of a Mustang or Camaro...a modern version of the classic pony car...the Monte Carlo and T-Bird were of the old midsize 'personal luxury' style car--a genre that has died out. The Challenger is much more overtly sporty and muscular.

It will be interesting to see where Ford goes w/ the next Mustang..I would think the GT V8 would definitely go beyond 300hp, maybe 350?

Interesting..I was expecting the same kind of situation with the Mustang Shelbys...outrageous dealer markups being the norm.. True....but there are aspects of all of these cars that I like...again, I'm not like other people..

True.....but not all buyers fit into neat little boxes..I'm not like other people...I'm open-minded enough to like and consider both retro style performance coupes (Mustang/Challenger/etc) and modern ones (3-series, G37)... And no way the Challenger SRT8 will be $37,995... reality will be $45-50k with dealer markup.

True...but the 3-series is a modern performance coupe, arguably the best of it's kind... so I would definitely compare them. To each their own.

Heh-heh..it is definitely a unique product...but the SRT8 will be $45-50k or more on dealer lots with the markup, so such comparisons are legit, IMHO. The 3-series is the standard bearer amongst performance coupes in the 40-50k range, so such a comparison is totally legit.

Looks good in black.

They are both coupes at a similar price point....that's why I would compare them...not crazy at all... I'd certainly test both. I think outside the box...the 335i has a 4.9 sec 0-60, and handles better due to being smaller, lighter, etc... Obviously, if I were looking at a $30k Challenger, I'd compare against the Mustang GT and Camaro (if it existed). At $40k+, the 3-series and other similar coupes make sense for comparison..

Maybe they limit it intentionally for the FWD transaxle, different exhaust, etc..

Mmmm...sweet..looks like the Angeles Crest Highway..great road. I've driven it twice in Hertz rentals...once in an '05 Town Car and once in an '06 350Z....fun road.

True..but it's not as obese as the Tahoe...probably 500lbs less? Still obese, but less so..

Agreed...I think the delegate count should be proportional to the popular vote..

I have to wonder what they were thinking with that front end....pretty ugly. The previous front end was much better, albeit not too distinctive..this front end is distinctive, but not in a nice way, IMHO...

Same here...I have no fear of technology or modern features...in a daily driver, I like power everything, top-of-the line sound system, etc.. and IRS is certainly a good thing. I was born in 1970, I certainly have no interest in driving like it's 1970..

Yes, that's plausible... isn't there a base non-DI 3.6 in the base CTS currently?
