Clipped from The Onion?

LOL @ the mud that's been photochopped onto the grill of the Ridgeline! It almost looks as if they put a plexi-glass panel up in front of the truck and then splattered the mud. I didn't know mud could stick to the empty area of a grill!

bah! never! pick another letter... they can't have this one... *channels 68*

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Everyday problems aren't what one goes to a shrink for.

The trouble you're going to get into with this is how you count certain brands. Are Mazda/Land Rover/Jaguar/Volvo/Saab foreign or domestic? What about imported Pontiacs or Saturns? I'm going to live in Germany next year. If I buy an Opel, am I buying domestic <Germany> or am I buying domestic <US>?

My CTS is the smallest car I've ever owned. My previous cars were: '94 Cutlass '85 Contientnal '83 Caprice '85 Toronado I'm 5'10" 150lbs and I crave another E-body.

My vote is "I'd consider one, but not in the market currently" for Euro and Asian. Euro/Asian cars I'd consider: Mazda RX8 Subaru Legacy GT Subaru SVX Volkswagen Pheaton Audi A6 or A8 Alfa 159 <actually, just about any Alfa> Peugot 407 coupe Most of the Citroens Ones where I'm not sure how to count them: Opel Astra Twintop Opel Vectra Jaguar XJ Saab 9-3 Cabrio or Combi and "Absolutely, own one, and happy with that decision, willing to do it again" for domestic.

What about "I'd consider one, but not currently in the market"?

Sadly, I think this article is right. Good thing the new cars that are coming are much improved.

I'd make one if I could get video footage of those vehicles.

Cadillac posted a 30% sales jump in Europe. Astra is the best selling car in Europe. GM is kicking Toyota's ass all over China. GM practically owns South America. Tundra has stalled as more and more problems are found that don't include it's pricing structure. Scion as a brand fell dramatically this month. All of Toyota's North American sales are being held up by the Camry, Tundra, Prius, and ES, everything else is dropping.

You know why Toyota will never win the "branding war"? Because they will never be able to run a commercial like

Did he write this in 2001 and just release it now or what? GM has some of the strongest and most recognizable brands out there! Hummer, Cheverolet, Cadillac - all super strong brands, easily identifiable, they may have some product weaknesses here and there but as far as image, they're set. Saturn,GMC - only slightly less strong as Chevy however they enjoy a nearly cult like following. Denali commands respect. Saturn has overnight transformed their image into an upscale family car. Buick - Brand in recovery but coming along nicely. Enclave has waiting lists and Lucerne is still outselling Toyota's "better Buick" Avalon. Pontiac, Saab - Brands that are just starting their recovery, however once the product is there they'll be back. And as far as holding up Toyota as an example of how to do things..... How'd that Scion brand do last month?

If you want to try meditation, might I suggest The Meditation Podcast. I use the falling asleep one regularly.... but all of them have been helpful in their specific areas.

fixed. but still. the CTS is a sedan with two different engines available compared to the multiple body styles of the 3er.

the answer to the question no one asked. rollin on 11s yo!

It takes 23 variations of 3-series to outsell the CTS by 3,000 vehicles?

6416 > 6042 CTS FTW!

Well... Toyota is a major stake holder now.... so I guess it was only a matter of time.
