India: All Aboard the Tata Magic Bus
Robert Hall replied to Intrepidation's topic in Site News and Feedback
No wonder the Corolla and Camry are the cars of choice of H1-Bs when they come to the US.... they are 1000% better than what they had back home.. -
Mmmmmm...more diesels.
-
I doubt I will be going w/ Vista anytime soon...the desktop w/ XP I bought in April 06 will be the last Windows computer I buy, now that I've gone to Macs.
-
And now for something completely different.. At work, there are a few (maybe a dozen or so) Priuses...but today I saw one like no other..not only did it have a 'W04' sticker (a Republican with a Prius? I would have thought that unpossible!), but it also had a decal in the rear window that says 'Bad Ass Boys Drive Bad Ass Toys'.... wow. There you have it..a Prius is supremely badass...
-
"The Love You Save" by The Jackson 5. Never heard it.
-
Sweet..it would definitely make a nice Saturn..keep the name...maybe call it Saturn Aura Calibra.
-
Kind of an apples and oranges thing since the Charger and Magnum are currently available, while the TA has been out of production for 4 years...
-
A couple articles I've seen in magazines indicate it would be a low volume model and V8 only...who knows, maybe they will build a V6 version..
-
Remember, 68, you are at a Chevy-Cadillac dealer..your percentages would be different at a Honda or Toyota dealer.
-
I think a lot of consumers have the mindset that GM is like Wal Mart---'Low Prices Every Day!'...
-
The Envoy seems like a poor second choice to the Enclave, what with the Enclave being new and modern and the Envoy being old and dated (not to mention the truck platform).
-
$42.5 sounds reasonable to me for a well equipped Enclave... that's the price range of a loaded Grand Cherokee Overland.. It's below what a comparable MDX or RX would be. Buick is aiming for the big leagues now, so expect big league pricing for premium vehicles...
-
I'd avoid cheap beaters..they just break and leave you stranded.
-
Go for it if you can afford it and love it..but remember, BMW maintenance costs can be pretty steep (esp. brakes).
-
This afternoon on the way home (rainy, stuck in 5-lane bumper to bumper traffic) I was listening to U2's 'Achtung Baby'....still my favorite album after 16 years...
-
I thought this was a thread about the Challenger..what's with all the FWD sedan BS?
-
The B-pillar is a non-issue for me.. with A/C, I rarely drive w/ the windows down anyway. And it would have been heavier if they had built it as a hardtop...
-
Subies are neat, a buddy has a WRX Sti..it's fast, handles well, but is so painfully ugly inside and out...
-
5 years would be fine. The original only lasted 5 years..
-
I had heard about the backlog... quite different than it was a few years ago... IIRC, I got my renewal in about 4 weeks, maybe less in the spring of '04...
-
The BBC World Today news podcast.

The insurance biz is an interesting animal... I worked for almost 5 years in a software company that built policy and claims management systems, primarily for state worker's compensation funds (which are primarily monopolies) and a little bit in the auto insurance space. It's a strange, complex business domain with mucho regulations and rules...
-
It's a good way of thinking of it...Saturn has moved up into Olds territory. I could definitely see the Aura with an Intrigue badge. It's too bad they didn't keep the last Aurora and rebadge it as a Saturn Aurora..the name Aurora would fit well with Astra and Aura, maybe it can be used for a Zeta-based Saturn.
-
Nope, I haven't received his premiums...he's probably unaware of it also. Maybe I should change my first name to one of my middle names...my first name+last name is just too common.
-
I've had my PS2 for over 6 years now, still works ok (I don't use it much). If I got another console, I'd probably get a Wii.
