    Yea, it's not like the former head of Holden is like GMNA's president or anything....or even plays some roll in product planing decisions.
  2. Drew Dowdell
    YES PLEASE!

    Makes sense. Camaro is the only north american zeta production point. Keep in mind that GM is moving towards hyper flexible production lines. Spring Hill is supposed to be able to build any non-BOF vehicle in the portfolio once they are done rebuilding there.

    I'm betting that if production were moved to the US, it would only be production for North American consumption. Australia could continue to supply the South Pacific, Asia, Middle East, and Europe. Like what they did with the Insignia/Regal.... at first the Regal was built in the EU, but then production for North America moved over here and the EU just builds cars for themselves.

    I think it looks too much like an automotive Best Buy to be a Cadillac dealership. Not at all "luxury"

    I didn't think they still had steam powered tractors anymore!

    I'm not sure it would eliminate turbo lag, but it would probably reduce it. It still has momentum to overcome spinning up and down. The faster you want the reaction to be, the more powerful you'd need the electric motor to be. that said: *buys stock in Honeywell.... and Hoover*

    Probably a decent little runabout to pick up gently used for not a lot of money

    Starting tomorrow, I'm fully back in the saddle. I head to Dallas-Love Field to head home in a couple hours. I still have 11 more trips between now and July 31st, but most are just overnight runs and all low stress.

    I believe there is a time when Pauli needs to give back the car he is driving now.

    The O2 sensors on the 3900 are different from the Aurora. Power steering line is different... but they all can go. We've had to have them replaced on the CR-V but not the Toronado. Wiring is just wiring....

    Those are good for 40mpg

    Cadillac ranch is an atrocity.

    The Sonic and Cruze have brake hill hold
  15. Drew Dowdell
    hard because they're popular? The Cruze Eco would be a great car to run around in.
  16. Drew Dowdell
    I'd go with a flex fuel 3900 Lucerne as loaded as I could find and be quite happy.
  17. Drew Dowdell
    Did that change the ride?
  18. Drew Dowdell
    Hell, a DI Ecotec would be a horsepower boost over my 5.0 liter. I think running a 2.0T from the Regal GS would be sufficient.
  19. Drew Dowdell
    Yeah, but if you're going to do that, why not just get a 'Nox or Terrain?
  20. Drew Dowdell
    but why tie back up with Isuzu? They already have all of the know-how.

    The first generation Civic Hybrid was available with a manual transmission. I've driven it. It operated just like a normal car except that the motor shut off when you were sitting with your foot on the brake. As the GM eAssist operates in the same general way as the Honda IMA, it could technically be equipped with a manual transmission as well. Now, the Prius could not be done with a manual because of the way the transmission blends power from the electric motor and the gasoline engine. The Nissan and Ford hybrids fall into this same camp. In the GM 2-mode hybrid, the actual hybrid parts are inside the automatic transmission, so if you swap out the automatic in that, then there are no more hybrid parts left.
  22. Drew Dowdell
    Why would they want Isuzu back? What would it give them that they don't already have?
  23. Drew Dowdell
  24. Drew Dowdell
    Here's a question: When are we giving you lessons on how to drive a manual?
  25. Drew Dowdell
    There was one of these for sale near Camino the time that I visited when FlyBrian was picking up the LeSabre.
