All? If chimney height is a problem, get a pellet stove with an out the wall power vent. No chimney needed. Buy pellets in the summertime when they're $180 a pallet.

28/34 would be where the Vue ends up, I would expect Malibu to be better.

Dual mode is much more expensive and is not as "universal".

How did they run?

GM, make mine an E85 2.8 litre V6 turbo VVT with DI and BAS-II..... k? thnx, bye. oh yeah, and you could soooo run a base Zeta sedan with one of these 4-cylinders.....

From the graphics I've seen but dunno if I can post, the Turbo 2.4 Hybrid that comes from this has more torque across the entire band than the 3.6VVT... but especially at the low end. Torque jumps nearly 100ft/lbs at 1,200rpm over the non-hybrid Turbo 2.4!!!

Test fitting the left front outter fender and finding out it doesn't fit. The core support appears to be bent slightly. We'll be hammering that out tomorrow. Right inner fender isn't on. We're test fitting the outer fender to see if we have the same problem on both sides. The right side doesn't fit perfectly... but it's just shim work. The inner fender is attached and all accessories are bolted down to it. The outer fender is fitted and lightly bolted down. We've marked the space where I need to drill out a hole for the radio antenna. Wagons have their antenna on the front right fender, sedans on the rear right. Though you can't see it because the shutter speed is too high. The LT-1 is actually running in this picture. She's been sitting for about 10 months without being started. She roared to life on the first turn of the key, the engine fan blowing out a huge cloud of dust. More tomorrow....

The RDX does produce 6 more ft/lbs, but takes the engine spinning at 4,500 rpm while the SRX hits it's peak at 2,800 rpm. My next car has a redline of about 5,000 rpm, has 70 more ft/lbs of torque, 20 more horsepower, gets the same city mpg, gets 4 more better on the highway, while weighing 600lbs more, seating 8, and having a 5,000lb. tow rating..... and it was designed in 1990. There is simply no replacement for displacement.

I might be new here, but what the hell is BAS-II?

based on what? I'm surprised that the Marquis is on there....

Wow! Look at SCION and Prius..... if the downturn is due to fuel prices... what's up with that?

they still managed to throw 3 "best-evar"s in there.

OH NOOOS! Lithium Ion batteries will NEVER be ready for the Volt release!?!!!!!!!

and has a real V6 that doesn't need to wind to 4,500 rpm just to get to peak torque, and it's a foot longer.... yet gets the same gas mileage... and then there is the interior that doesn't look like it came from an Accord....

fancy that.....me mistaking two Acura vehicles for each other....

Today's Update: 12:00pm Starting point: No core support, no wiring harness, no fenders, no ECM 3:00pm Core Support installed, wiring harness installed somewhat 5:00pm Upper and lower fan shroud installed, Left inner fender test fit, 7:00pm Left inner fender installed, accessories that attach to fender installed, ECM installed The other parts that you can't see: While Dominic was treating and painting the fenders and core support with Rustolium, I replaced the sway bar linkage that had broken. Donor car... Hood is coming from this, fenders from a burgundy sedan And since some of you asked about Dominic's '57 parts car in the background

.

I thought that power steering hose thing had been brewing for a while..... it doesn't feel like the first time I've heard of it.

them kids is bein raised right.

uh... I just got 25mpg average in the CTS last weekend on a road trip through PA doing 80. they must have beaten the thing.....

This just in! Import Humpers Agree, RDX not overpriced!

you don't need airbags in a rear collision, you need Active Head Restraints.... and you need to adjust your head rest properly. Please do yourself a favor and shop outside of Toyota's brands... if nothing else to be fully informed when you do make a purchase.

Some maturing is in order for your girlfriend. "If you loved me you wouldn't care.." emotional blackmail bull$h! is stuff little 5 year old girls do to their daddy. edit: Sorry if I came across a bit harsh... just feel very strongly about this kinda stuff because this is what my ex would try to pull on me.... but for stuff far more major than which radio station we were listening to.
