Hyundai and Kia share the same parent company. So it becomes product overlap.

What do you think they do to get the Opel smell? Pack some bratwurst in for the shipping across the Atlantic?

lol!

Back when the F150 V8 only had this amount of power, if you bought the F150 you did so in spite of the power deficit compared to the GM or Dodge because it was still a great truck. There is no compelling reason to buy a Titan unless maybe you know a guy who works in the service department of a local Nissan dealer and maybe they'll throw in a Sentra for your wife too.

Was intending on replacing the spark plug wires anyway when she started giving a rough idle. The jacket on one of the Accel wires was cracked. Got a new set of A/C Delcos from Amazon.com and got a distributor cap and rotor there too. Cleaned up the idle pretty well. Also found the proper pulley for the A.I.R. pump so I can finally put the emissions system back together.

looks like a Camry sucking a lemon.

I haven't had an Eco as a rental. But I've had a very nicely equipped Cruze at Avis.

I don't see it in there.

Wonder if the supercharger means they are going Miller Cycle on the 4-cylinder. It's the only reason I can think of to do so instead of a Turbo.

You're better off with a narrower 18" wheel than the 19" wheel for snow.

195 ft-lb at 1750rpm from a 1.6 is "a little low on torque"?

Queue the VQ V6 for the next Titan....

If Kia Hyundai keep this up they are going to have a new problem..... competing too much with each other.

Everyone should take the time to go in and check their signatures and profiles. Might be a good reminder to keep your information up to date.

This is just the default skin. We haven't done any visual customizations yet. That will be coming after I'm confident that the upgrade's bugs have been squished.

Why come back when they don't have a full lineup yet?

Well the Lacrosse isn't meant to be a sporty car, it's meant to be a soft car. The Town Car is a terrible handling car and it's RWD. The Cobalt SS is a great handling car that was able to out run its contemporary RWD 3-series around the 'Ring and it was FWD. So yes, GM has done something special to FWD (especially now with hi-per strut) but I don't expect my grandmother's Lacrosse to handle like a 5-series because it isn't meant to.

The 2004 CTS V6 Automatic was 3,568, so under 3600lbs for a smaller car that was built from the ground up to be lightweight should be doable.

Topic load issue appears to be resolved for the moment. But the ticket is still open while the software provider takes a look at things

I was really sad to see the Cruze go when I had to turn it in last week.... and I don't even really like economy cars. The Verano should be great.

We're having an issue with the second page of some threads not loading properly. I am aware of the issue and I'm working on a fix. Also, before anyone complains about the look/feel, this is just the default skin. We will be moving to a custom skin in a few days.

We're back on in Beta mode.

I'm going to take the site down in a few minutes.

With computer modeling, most of the tuning to get it to 9/10ths can be done back home in Michigan. Getting that final 10th is what takes the 2 weeks. Sometimes I think BMW lives there just to make a name for themselves instead of actually doing anything very productive. We aren't seeing yearly advances in 3-series handling performance.
