The only people who would be upset about any of this are the people trying to scam GM for a free car for 2 months in the first place. None of the restrictions are unreasonable. If you get a rock chip in the paint and you want to return the car, go spend the $250 to get the paint chip fixed. It's cheaper than $25,000 for the whole car.

DF, did you ever get that new mattress?

Because some reviews are useful as used car reviews. Not everyone buys new.

Cheers and Gears Quick Drive Saturn Astra 5-Door Member WhiteKnight does a Quick Drive of the Saturn Astra 5-Door. After our dealer told us there was yet another overnight wait in store for the Aura as the on-board computer had started to sour, they gave us a switchblade-style key that went to a dark blue hatchback, none other than an Astra five-door, the most ungainly member, in my opinion, of the Astra line-up.

Thanks for the writeup!

I'm surprised at the interior of that $44k Acura because it's not remarkably better than a $19k Honda

$40,000 for that?!?

OMG, I so heard Tina Fey in my head when I read that!

He want's to "JDM" a C6? Good luck with that.... is he trying to make it slower? Vtec kicks in at 2300? Spiffy.... just about all V8s and most V6es... even the pushrod ones... hit their torque peak about 1,000rpm ago.

Japanese Domestic Market..... or in this case, Just Dumb Male

I never txt while driving.... I only surf C&G on my blackberry.

Gaah!!!

KYB Struts for the 01-05 Cavalier and Sunfire. If you purchase through this link, C&G gets a credit for it.

I brought mine out for the House season premier.... it'll stay turned off till next week's episode.

Not quite. This "new breed" of car takes an ugly but somewhat useful vehicle and removes the useful. It's the answer to the question no one asked... "What if we made a Hyundai Tiburon into a crossover?!"

The great thing about these vehicles is that no matter if you pick the BMW or the Acura, either way you look like a tool.

I don't own a car, but I own 4 properties. How is taxing me for road maintenance via my property taxes in any way fair?

How do you plan on fairly charging the road tax to Volt drivers who have a 20 mile round trip commute and almost never use gas?

It is NOT punitive! It is trying to assign a tax to you based on the amount you use the roads. If it's punative to anyone, it's the Pruis/Volt/EV-1 drivers who pay a much lower tax right now. Tell me this... is the fact that the Turnpike charges a toll based on the distance traveled + tunnel/bridge costs punitive?* *I've noticed that the cost per mile between TPK exits is higher if there are tunnels or large expensive bridges in between. Edit: I'm not saying this is a good idea, I'm just saying that it is not punitive.

It's not a punitive measure. It's use based. It's actually more fair than a per gallon tax since you would pay the same tax in your Camino as someone driving a Fit if you both drove the same distance. Today, you pay more tax per mile than a Fit driver because you drive a less fuel efficient vehicle and the tax is calculated per gallon of fuel.

I deleted both of those post. I know it was meant as a joke, but it crosses a line.
