We are currently under a brute force attack on our server. Things may be a little unstable here for a bit.

A RWD Impala contributes to the volume needed for NA produced Camaro, G8s, GTOs, Park Aves, and DTSes.

If what PCS wants comes to fruition, I hope that Buick, Pontiac, and Holden get sold off to someone else. Better to be alive and well under someone else's roof than crippled and on life support or 6 feet under. It will be interesting to see what Tata does with Jaguar and LR. If they keep those brands true to their roots and do it well, I could see Pontiac and Buick also being purchased to give Tata a crack at the lower end of the market. I know most of you don't like the idea of foreign ownership <me either>, but I'd rather jump ship than stay on board while Commander PCS* steers the ship directly into the iceburg. *Or was that Captain Ahab... chasing after his white Holden?

QFT.

the 2-mode hybrid fits in the same space as a 6-speed auto... so I dunno why Zeta couldn't have one.

It's not. It's a red herring used to cover up that GM-Europe is trying to take over the company with their own ideals.

don't all the rentals get either the 4banger or the 3500?

do not do system restore

Farmers cannot simply "switch" crops. Certain crops only grow successfully in certain areas and climates. Just because we have a lot of corn producing land does not mean we should use it for automotive fuel. Grass clipping, distillery waste, sugar cane <potentially imported from South America>, algae, kelp, corn husks all can be used.

but it can be made much more efficient than gasoline can. Ethanol burns at lower temperatures, thus the cooling system can be smaller. Ethanol is very high octane and can run at very high compression ratios. This allows for a more complete combustion and makes turbo charging and direct injection even more effective than their gasoline counterparts. So, while there may be less energy per gallon of ethanol, we already know how to make the engine get more of that energy out of the fuel.

Burning ethanol releases less "new" carbon than burning dino-fuel.

Yeah, because naming a truck "Colorado" in Australia makes sense....

hmmm so in 2009, Germany may see a 2.9 litre diesel CTC... in black... blasting up and down the autobahn...with "C&G Media" bumper stickers

Should be fixed now.

+ It will decentralize the fuel production in this country.

I dunno Camino, that E85 Saab Biopower 4-banger sounded mighty fine to me.

*shakes fist* GET OFF MY LAWN!!

4 years prior to me getting my driver's license..... thanks for the pics!

the yellow kind...

Well, tomorrow you can watch me tie my shoes.

We're having a script issue. We're aware of the problem and are working to fix it.

GM went extinct in November of 2011 after CEO PCS ran the company into the iceburg full steam ahead by selling rebadged Tata Nanos as the new Chevy Camaro. SS versions get racing stripes and faux leather shift knobs but maintain their 33hp engines. Cadillac sold off to Honda/Acura who was desperately looking for a premium image. Ford releases an updated version of the Taurus that runs on BS. At the last minute changes the name to Fairmont. Chrysler sold to Electrolux of Sweeden just for laughs*. Volvo merges into Chrysler. Toyota builds best EVAR Camry. Now runs purely on a mixture of engine sludge, recycled camshafts and PR. Honda builds builds most reliable Accord ever. Hybrid now available in a lovely shade of Soylent green. BMW releases new God powered 3-series sporting bold new exterior design and classic interior that harks back to 1993. Fanboys and automotive journalists all die simultaneously from the orgasm. *do your research as to why this would be funny.

the dollars/euros in my pocket? I put my money where my mouth is. I purchase GM vehicles new. I'm not some guy who will only spend $800 on a 1977 land yacht. I intend to buy a diesel CTS when I get to Germany. GM keeps this up and I'll become that guy who only buys GM, but only ones that are 20 years old and the CTS-D will be my last new car from them. We're ultimately the ones with the power. If GM's goal is 12% market share your ideals are certainly the way to do it.

I never noticed this about the Monte Carlo until recently. The wheel openings are different sizes.... ok, not terrible... but it's the FRONT wheel openings are that are larger!

Please PM me when this happens.
