What's your beef with Toyota?
So what? You're in So.Cal.... even the bums there drive rusted out BMWs. I see A-body Cierras and Centurys all the time. It seems most of the Celebrities and 6000s have gone to the great junkyard in the sky. I'd say it's a 30/70 garaged/ghetto ratio on the A-bodies I see. The nice ones are very very nice. The ghetto ones range from "well used" to "rolling environmental hazard". Cierras seem to have a better survival rate and are usually puttering along at 10 mph under the speed limit with Edgar or Mable Bluehair behind the wheel. Camries and Cressidas pre '92 are basically non-existent. So much so that Dominic and I found it remarkable to see a Cressida on the road last week and even admired the good condition it was in. The older Toyotas simply could not survive the winters in Pittsburgh. The 1992 and above body style seems to be their turning point. The A-bodies, many being ghetto, are still... unfortunately... on the road.

G8 vs 550i on youtube
Because that would have been so different than all the other ads with cars driving around mountain roads or down long stretches of empty road......

Sometimes I think people post ads like this simply to get more attention.... and hey look... it worked!

March 2008 Sales: General Motors
This is a feature GM needs to consider adding to more cars. It is unique in the market... I think. No other car has it right?

What's your beef with Toyota?
My beef with Toyota mostly involves them not being as great as their reputation makes them out to be. How many Toyota Cressidas do you still see milling around? How many Cutlass Cierras... or Buick Centurys of the same vintage do you see? I bet the number of of ~1985 vintage Cressidas + Camrys still running is less than the number of Cutlass Cierras alone.... much less the entire A-body lineup.

You. are. an. IDIOT. The selection of surround sound CDs is minimal. You might as well be demanding that GM install a Mini-Disc player in the dash.

Holden offering you a job is like offering an alligator a baby sitting job..... only the alligator isn't so scaley.

Are you a BI family?
I've strayed from GM only once with a 1985 Lincoln Continental.

2009 Malibu, Malibu Hybrid, and Cobalt Changes Posted
GM Suxors!!! Where's NAV? I needed to connect my phone to the NAV via Bluetooth so I could operate the rear view camera with the adjustable pedals! Leave it to GM to put out such a $h!ty car. At least they got rid of the pushrod engine so that when I wipe my ass with the dashboard it stays soft and supple.

Short lived GM Engines
If you can get yourself one of the later GM Goodwrench replacement engines... snag it. They have all of the upgrades that the engine should have gotten at the beginning and are fairly bullet proof.

2009 Aura & Aura Greenline Changes Posted
I wouldn't be concerned. I would expect the Aura to become much more Germanic while the LaCrosse will tilt much more American style luxury.
