HAHAHAHHAHAHH!!!!

I have.

my Acer Ferrari's computer name is ENZO

Sharp truck OCN. You have any E85 filling stations near you?

I don't even both with Pittsburgh auto show anymore. The never have any concepts or future production cars. It's just a huge dealer expo and nothing more.

Strangely, I think it's the Japanese who would eat it up the most.

GM has sold more pushrod V6es than Honda has sold cars.

Would you believe I've seen one. But not only was it a Toro Caliente Diesel... it was a Toro Caliente Diesel with an H&E conversion!

Make sure you do tell her if you have a male companion for the night though.....

Does your girlfriend live next door to "Obscure Cars Anonymous"?

I don't see any "catch up" with the stats you posted at all. The hondas are tuned to providing more HP at the expense of torque while the Cadillac is tuned to produce more torque at the expense of horsepower. I'm sure if Cadillac dialed the torque to reach it's peak at 5000rpm instead of 3200rpm it would have a much higher horsepower number than it does now. It's not about catch up, it's about two different styles. Personally, I wouldn't want an engine where torque reaches full boil all the way up at 5,000rpm. You may want that. That doesn't make either engine "better". Of course, once DI is available in the Cadillac and A-Vtec in the Honda, all bets are off.

The 3.6L global V-6 develops 255 hp (190 kw) at 6200 rpm and 255 lb.-ft. of torque (346 Nm) at 3200 rpm and is mated to the 5L40-E automatic transmission. The adoption of fully variable valve timing for both intake and exhaust valves provides outstanding flexibility, fuel economy and emissions reduction. link VVT systems use electronically controlled hydraulic camshaft phasers to alter the relationship of the intake and exhaust camshafts as much as 50 degrees relative to the crankshaft. The ability to adjust the timing of intake and exhaust valve opening and closing events improves the full load performance in the entire operating range. link

This is a case of Honda catching up to GM in engine technology. The HF3.6 has this technology now. Of course, by the time Honda gets it to market, the 3.6 will also have DI.

four-speed automatic transmission

yet you accuse the center stack of my car of looking like a PC tower...?

Just to be clear, I've listed GM as a "BUY" for months now..... and I hold XXXX shares.

Deutsche Bank upgrades GM,Ford to BUY Link SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- General Motors Corp. and Ford Motor Co. shares were in rally mode early Friday after Deutsche Bank upgraded both automakers to buy from hold in the belief that strides in health-care negotiations could pave the way to profitability.

NO WAY! $10 says we don't hear any complaints from the press or it'll be explained away because it's "buttery smooth"

GM should pull the ad not because of the suicidal thing, but because it's a dumb ad.

= menacing = not menacing

I thought your mom knew Ocn.

They managed to make it uglier

Production G8 pic? Are we switching to KPH only? I realize Canada uses KPH, but I would imagine even Canada bound G8s will have KPH and MPH on their speedos

yeah, cause the Camry is so totally "gotta-have-it"!

Both situations require user thought. A user thinking is the biggest security hole in any software.
