Omega Likely To Be Approved For Cadillac Flagship, More Hybrids
Turbo a pushrod for a Cadillac? It works for the last dinosaur that Bentley makes, but in the segment Cadillac is going after I don't think it will. Look at what the competition has, and also consider the move toward fuel efficiency in this class. They could do without the V12, since there are very few of those. But, Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Lexus, Maserati, Mercedes, Porsche all do a DOHC V8, even Hyundai if you want to throw in the Equus at the low end. I don't want a European car, I want an American car. The 5.5 V8 is going to be the most advanced pushrod ever. It will have VVT and DI and I have no doubts about its power capability or its smoothness. I am more firm in this than ever after my time behind the wheel of the CTS-V. It can be a tame pussycat when cruising or a while beast when you trash at it. It is very smooth with just a pinch of American muscle car feel. There is no reason to engineer a separate power plant for the Omega Cadillac other than equipping it with a turbo. Edit: and if fuel economy is a concern, that is just ANOTHER reason to go pushrod over DOHC.

GM Heads Back To The Drawing Board With Chevrolet's Tag Line
Chevy keeps up its sales increases bringing back "heartbeat of America" could be quite justifiable.

Guess Who Coming Back To Dinner?
I don't see why any of that is bad. GM has their mainstream cars competitive now. And by competitive, I mean the Cruze is kicking butt and taking names, Lacrosse and Regal are selling well and getting good press. The next Malibu, once we know pricing, will likely do very well in the market. Even the current Malibu has held up well given it's age. There is no reason why GM can't do both mainstream AND niche diesel hatchbacks.

the latest Chevy commercials about "running deep" are pretty good though.... just like GM to cancel it just when they get it right

When dogs attack
I think the best you can do is file a police report, call animal control to file a complaint, and go to small claims court for the vet bill.

And now for something completely different…
Just imagine the spy shots you could get then! Just hover over milford all day. And there's no way the guy in the Super Duty could get you without a very long ramp. Good luck, I know you've been thinking about this for a while. hums... "What good is sitting alone in your room? Come here the music play!"

2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible
The 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible brought open-air driving to the fifth-generation Zeta platform, available in V6 LS and 2LT trim with the RS appearance package, or as an SS with the 6.2-liter V8. The fabric folding top lowers in about 20 seconds and stows behind the rear seats, preserving trunk access. A reinforced chassis and sport-tuned suspension on the SS kept handling sharp despite the added structural bracing required for convertible rigidity.
