  1. Diesels don't respond well to the EPA cycle. Owners will likely see much better than 30/41. edit: The previous TDI was rated at 49mpg highway on the old cycle and was frequently reported in the mid to high 50s by drivers.
  2. Back when gasoline was still $2.00 a gallon, GM threw all their weight behind the GMT-900s to get the vehicles out early. By all accounts, they did a great job and the trucks are at the top of their class. Now today, gas is fast approaching $4.00 a gallon. GM must pull this same rabbit out their hat again! All of GM's weight needs to be behind the Delta II project. Back burner the next 'Vette, backburner any SUVs that won't be released with a 2-mode at launch, backburner any more Cadillacs. Delta II needs to be here yesterday. It must: Be E85 capable Have both BAS-II and 2-mode hybrid options Have interiors that make people say "ZOMG!! This is a GM?" It must have a wide availability of manual transmission. It must have class leading fuel economy available in the non-hybrid models. Simply put, the GMT-900s helped to keep the company alive 3 years ago. Today, fuel efficiency is where it's at. Get there GM.
  3. Awesome, now we can all pollute as much as we want! </sarcasm>
  4. There is a lot of assuming going on in this thread. Why the assumption that there would be no refresh on the Impala? Why the assumption that the retail buyers don't like the car? They picked one over the Malibu so it MUST have some qualities that people like. Why the assumption that a newer transmission would increase sales? There is a car sitting right next to it in the showroom with a newer transmission and people are still buying Impalas retail. As far as biggest car for the money, that title belongs to the Grand Marquis, Taurus/Sable, and Dodge Charger before the Impala would qualify.
  5. Alan Shore: You sure? This is vintage soapbox stuff. You’ve got God, money, steps off soapbox politics, homosexuality. Has anyone ever heard of restless legs syndrome? It’s where you move your leg about in your sleep. It’s awful. You may have it. It may not keep you awake; it doesn’t really harm you in any way. It may not bother you in the slightest, but nonetheless it’s awful. The pharmaceutical companies have declared it so. So they’ve invented a drug, and you simply must take it. If you haven’t heard of restless leg, by the way, you probably have attention deficit disorder. Awful. We’ve got a lot of drugs for that one. You must take them. You’re depressed. Cut to a female juror who looks somewhat sad Alan Shore: You’re not sleeping enough. Cut to Denny Crane, who IS sleeping! Alan Shore: You think you’re shy, but you’ve actually got a social anxiety disorder. Cut to male juror who looks a bit uncomfortable with the attention. Alan Shore: as camera pans across an older male juror Weak stream. and another male juror Irritable bowel syndrome. You people have all kinds of ailments you don’t know about. Luckily, we’ve got drugs for every one of them. You must take them. My colleague has a case involving a “Forgetting Pill.” You can take that one to forget you ever had restless leg or irritable bowels!
  6. Why doesn't GM update the Impala and change the platform name at the same time? Toyota gets away with calling the Camry "all new" even though they've really just been heavily modifying the same platform for years now. It's the same thing at Toyota except they update the version numbers.
  7. Isn't the Impala showing an increase in retail sales lately?Why kill it? It's not like it's hurting Chevy's image. Give it another MCE and let it keep selling I guess.

  22. Hydrogen can now be produced using a bio-chemical process involving a certain type of bacteria which allows production of hydrogen resulting in energy output hundreds of times the energy input required. Additionally, hydrogen can be produced from salt water if need be.
