Boo... I wanted to see a twin turbo STS with the 6.0

Sly changed his name to Virginia?! :blink:

Wait.... they introed the SRX... now? The thing has like 2 years left.

Trick question... and I'm sure the old schoolers will beat me up over this.... first CVT that I can think of would be the Dynaflow from 1948

Taurus X is closer the Outlook in terms of size though. The Vue's competition from Ford is the Edge.

I thought that was the plan all along?

Retro is just about dead.

What about CRX? no.... wait. T-RX? .... no would be confused with a dinosaur LAX?... and then the extended wheelbase version could be the X-LAX.....

It has nav.... onstar turn by turn

I like these side profile shots, makes the car look almost Audi-esque...... definately looks more expensive than it is.

I see them regularly enough now that they are no longer remarkable.

A picture of the Westinghouse Bridge that I took two months ago.

This is a big deal for me. I want XM Radio in my car when I'm in Germany.

Bought in the high teens, sold at $36

Metro Sled. Just in time for Christmas.....

I nearly demolished a Saab 9-3 convertible last night..... but if I had, he would have deserved it. We're on a two lane, one way road coming up to a light. At the light your options are proceed straight or make a right if you're in the right hand lane... and only straight if you're in the left hand lane. Note that no matter which lane you're in, you can go straight. I'm in the right hand lane following this Saab, no one is in front of him, when about 50 yards before the light he decides that he needs to be in the left hand lane RIGHT f@#kING NOW. Of course there is traffic in the left hand lane already so he just slams on his brakes and puts his signal on.... apparently oblivious to the 6,000 lbs of Chevy truck a mere 4 car lengths behind him. It has just started raining so the roads were slick. The ABS struggled to keep the wheels from locking up. I have never come so close to hitting someone without actually hitting them. Less than 4 inches between our vehicles.

2009?!? Good lord..... As for the HV3.5, I think the 3.9 would be more appropriate, but as long as whatever the base engine is, it has 250hp and decent torque.

How about this shot I took in Köln? If anyone wants the full size version of this shot, it's simply stunning.

The best part about this rather plain bridge is that there are signs pointing you towards it from over 45 miles away. In many cases, you'd have to pass up about a dozen opportunities to cross the river between the sign and the bridge. They probably spent as much on signage to promote the bridge as they did on actually building the damn thing.

Next Q

Has Ford turn the speed of their lines up to 11 yet?

Millau bridge, France

When is a Mini not a Mini?

Malibu SS?

19% owned by Delphi.... Still think the Volt won't have the battery packs ready for 2010?
