Drew Dowdell

Just because he wasn't good as CEO doesn't mean he can't be useful somewhere in the organization.... especially since he knows the inner workings of the organization already. I can see Ed's reasoning on this, but I'm skeptical as to what the end results will be.

My big issue with the iPad is the OS. Had it shipped with an OS X lite, that would have been teh awesome..... iPhone OS for something like this = fail

Oh hadn't you heard? Once congress officially invited him, he's now agreed to testify.

Because the XTS is a showcase for the GM's next Gen Hybrid technology.

I was hoping for some relief pitching.

Congrats!

For those of you who enjoy a good e-fight some of the nuggets of logic proposed in here are: "Toyota's problems are due to their partnership with GM" "I've owned domestics, I had a '77 Nova, an '83 Fierenza, and a used '95 Corsica and they were all junk. GM just builds junk!" "Toyota wasn't forced to stop production, they did it to stop government action" "The Corsica was a retooled Celebrity, and the Malibu is a retooled Corsica" "I had an '87 Corolla with 375k miles on it so that means Toyota builds reliable cars"

Yeah, so... Dwightlooi is someone not even I would mess with on numbers....

Visibility out the front is decent. The A-pillar is huge like on almost all GMs these days. I didn't have any lane changing issues. There is no blind spot system on this Acadia.

Well 200 miles down. This thing was just designed to gobble up interstate. The seats are very comfortable for long range driving. At first I wasn't too pleased with the thigh support but some fine tuning of the seat took care of that... it could be better... but it's not bad. It does shift a lot in the 70-75mph range on inclines, but it's so smooth about it you only notice it if you're watching the tack. Engine noise is very muted, so much so that the washer pump seems louder than normal at highway speeds. The cruise is willing to let you drift +/- 4mph to avoid shifting. Clearly a fuel economy thing, but probably annoying to other drivers on the road. I got a rather disappointing 17.5 mpg average so far, but the first hour I was stuck in bumper 2 bumper traffic. Still, my 5.3 liter Avalanche could do that. (it made the trip to Columbus once) This Acadia has the heads up display. It's interesting because it's reconfigurable to your tastes. It will also display NAV direction summaries as you approach a turn and will show the song title of whatever is playing on XM. The little woman who lives in the NAV system is the harpy annoying wife I'll never have, more so than other NAVs that I've experienced. Interface design is excellent and easy to use. The stereo system simply rocks. The exterior styling isn't my cup of tea, I'd really rather have a Buick, but it's still handsome and understated. I'm trying to figure out why there are stereo controls in the trunk area.

Why is this in the Lincoln forum?

Congrats guys, we're on the first page of search results for "smiley face killer"

Well there you go, now you've attributed the photos.

Sale Mr. Lucas! You're both rather close to each other.

They were sent to us from another source at GM.

Everywhere you see a DOHC engine that just barely fits, you could put a CIB engine of a over a liter displacement greater or more. The pushrod 5.3 was able to fit, transversely in the engine bay of the W-body. The DOHC 3.6 was squeezed in there just barely.

This Just In: 2010 GMC Acadia SLT-2 Interested in the GMC Acadia? Take part in our Interactive Review of a 2010 GMC Acadia SLT-2. Now till February 23rd.

This Just In: 2010 GMC Acadia SLT-2 Kicking off our next interactive review, today I received a 2010 GMC Acadia SLT-2. My first impression was at how big this vehicle is. As a former Avalanche owner, I doubt anyone stepping down from a Tahoe or Yukon would miss anything size wise. It feels like a big vehicle, but it drives much smaller than it is. It's an elephant doing it's best Fred Astaire impression. The wheels are freaking huge and probably give me a heart attack when it came time to replace them. This particular Acadia came loaded with nearly every option and stickers at an eye popping $49,700. I leave tomorrow for a run to Columbus Ohio... so compile a list of questions for me to answer. In other news, filled out the paperwork today to be added to Ford's press fleet, so if you have a FoMoCo vehicle you want me to request, let me know.

None of that answers the question of why go with a DOHC over a pushrod. Vehicle weight, styling, and price all being equal, which is the over all better engine?

Appropriate... since my observation is that when a gay guy graduates college he generally trades his Jetta in on a BMW.....

So to those who support fully funding NASA, is the idea we allow Darwin to take care of those on earth who are sick and without healthcare while we go off searching for new life elsewhere?

on it's way here in the next year. Though in that regard we should probably add Fiat. Alfa Romeo returning to the US

Added Alfa
