Not sure how much more I can take...
My brother used to work in auto sales in the '70s and '90s...Ford, VW, Mazda, Jeep, Pontiac.. I can't recall from talking with him, but how are people paid in auto sales--a base + some amount of commission on each sale?

Puzzling Lyrics circa 1977
I was only 7 in '77...but I do remember 'Dust in the Wind'... not really familiar with other Kansas music--nor with the state--though it borders Colorado, I've never been in the eastern part of the state or in Kansas...no big pointys, the plains are too plain.. Having grown up around two Baby Boomer siblings, (born in 1949 and 1957) I developed a taste for '70s music early, though...there is a LOT of music from that decade that I love. At the top for me is Pink Floyd and The Who, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, and The Rolling Stones...along with Rush, Queen, Bruce Springsteen, Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, AC/DC, and many others..... (I had a few beers w/ dinner so I'm getting loquacious, please ignore my rambling...) --Moltar aka Rob aka Cubical aka H-Cube. Born in '70, teen of the '80s, rushing forward through the '00s...

FIRST GLIMPSE! 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
With Chevy being the volume GM brand, I'm surprised they didn't get one first, before the other 3.

FIRST GLIMPSE! 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
Those look like Outlook headlights..hopefully the Traverse will get it's own hood, front fenders, and headlights in addition to the fascia.

FRANKFURT: 2008 Mazda6
Slick..I like the RX-8 homage in the front fenders...and esp. the hatchback. (The hatch is my favourite body style of the current model). It's too bad the domestics don't do midsize 5dr hatchbacks...the G6 and Aura would look great in 5dr hatch form, IMHO..

Pontiac G6 GXP Street Package
Well, it would definitely would get noticed... maybe needs to a bright neon green or orange. I guess the over-the-top styling is to try and appeal to the kiddies that like the F&F movies..

FRANKFURT: 2008 Mazda6
Light gray is the worst of all possible interior colors...makes cheap interiors look cheaper.

TOO SEXY TO FLY?
Watching the video, I don't see anything wrong with her outfit.. She just looks like a typical So Cal girl out at the mall shopping. The Southwest guy that gave her a hard time must have been a prudish bible thumper or something.

I'm truly afraid to say this here...
Ah, she'd take your arm off..those little Aussies are tough dogs..10 pounds of terror..and they like Holdens..

I'm truly afraid to say this here...
If I was limited in choice to only a Camry or a W-body, I'd rather drive the Camry..Ws are just too depressing.

Stretching to make car payments?
The 20th century has been called the 'American Century', the 21st is the century of the big decline of the US...the downward spiral. The question is how far off is the end of the road?

In an effort to help the Struggling Toyota truck Program
Since they are assembled in San Antonio, how about a Tundra 'Don't Mess With Texas' edition, with big Texas flag logo decals and steerhorns on the hood? And how about a Camry Kentucky Derby edition, to celebrate their Kentucky heritage?

Want to know when you can purchase a new CTS-V?
Same here... I love a manual for a weekend toy for driving on twisty backroads, but in the Real World <tm> of the daily commute, with traffic lights, congested freeways, etc. I prefer an automatic.

What does your car color say about you?
I'm still a fan of deep blue and silver (my current car colors)... I'm leaning toward a dark metallic red or maroon for my next car. I've done dark gray, gold and bright red in the past, would probably do dark gray again, but not bright red.
