I bet the Enclave ends up selling better than the CX-9 though.

I've wondered when we'd go to Lithium Ion batteries. They hold a charge better, they're lighter, and they aren't susceptible to cold temperatures like lead acid.

woot!

They need something along the specifications of the N-body again. The Epsilon has gotten too big and heavy and the Delta is still too awkwardly packaged. This is a hole in the lineup. Something the size/weight of an Alero with NA and Turbo 4 cylinders only could be a hot seller in both the Pontiac/Chevy market and the Saturn/Buick market. The old Alero with an old EcoTec easily gets 35mpg highway. edit: and FWD... before the "everything must be RWD" crowd gets here.

it's usually because your posts are so all over the place we only have the energy to respond to your most off points.

Lucerne is selling better than anything in it's class other than the Chrysler 300 which has a much lower base price and a much higher loaded price. Thetas are also some of the oldest on the market. There are new entries from Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai, Ford (2), Nissan, heck even the Dodge Nitro is newer. They did well while they were new and now it's time to replace them. Simple as that.

final Gen rivieras have theirs under the rear seat Lincoln LS has it's battery in the trunk... contributed to the near 50/50 weight distribution. at Ford for canceling that platform.

But it will be based on performance... and that's what these cars are about. Do you really think that M5 owners buy their car for the 20-way power seats... or the kick in the ass performance? How lame would it be when a CTS-V beats an M5 and the owner comes up with "Oh yeah!? Well, I have 20-way power seats and rear door sunshades!" Focus on what is important with this type of car. CTS-V production is limited to 7,000 per year. Cadillac will sell every one without discount.

my comments weren't on quality, but rather style... and neither the C65 nor the M5 blow open the styling doors.

incorrect and incorrect. 1. LT-1... in the Roadmaster and Fleetwood, one the the smoothest, quietest engines you could buy. 2. If you hadn't noticed, GM is consolidating engine lines. They are throwing their money at the HF family because of tools like you who whine about DOHC incessantly.

So Cadillac's is right in line.

bad run through Babblefish I'm sure.

There ya go... export market for Idaho.

Really? I guess I didn't get that point. I always thought the point of buying a car like this was to show everyone how big your pe...... uh... cucumber is.

it'll probably sell well though because it's alone in it's segment.

What a wonder is a gun! What a versatile invention! First of all, when you've a gun- *click* Everybody pays attention. And all you have to do Is squeeze your little finger. Ease your little finger back- You can change the world. Whatever else is true, You trust your little finger. Just a single little finger Can change the world.

and notice how well they've managed to copy Honda.

Or, we could... ya know... invest in new, clean, renewable technology.

Well isn't that Special.

hey, I'm all for smart metering and smart thermostat control. Smart metering isn't available in my area. I've been looking into home automation for a while now as a way to control utility costs. Left the house and left a light on? Log on to your house's webpage and turn it off. I have the web on my phone. Not going home right after work? Change the web thermostat so that the place heats up later. Timers can't do that. I already have the desire <as do many others> to control my utility usage. What I don't want is the utilities controlling my usage.

it's missing the bowtie for one....

"Willkommen nach Deutschland" Those three words will never sound so sweet.

Ok... sort of like Mod Points over at Slashdot. from what I can see the IPBoard software doesn't support it... but that's with a 2 minute skim through. If you know of another site using RepPoints that runs this same IPBoard software, let me know.

would help if we knew what you were talking about....
