what he said

My concern is that GM is being not anticipating enough the need for fuel saving premium cars. Just because I have the money to buy a CTS doesn't mean I want to have to spend a lot on fuel for it. Also, the environmentalist in me wishes to use a little fuel as possible.

There was a link in the e-mails... directly to this thread. It just didn't copy/paste over here.

and I'm sure you looked much hotter doing it... ;-)

He gave me permission:

Here is my original e-mail to Bob.

Not bad........ for a Ford driver... :AH-HA_wink:

I'll have to try me some of that... you look 26.

e-mail sent edit: Would you believe I've received a personal response from Bob already? I've asked his permission to post his response here.

Custom-S.... you're actually 37?!?

I think you need to post in the Pics thread.....

Now where did I put Bob Lutz's e-mail address....

things break.... get over it.

exactly

The problem is, much of the north east uses diesel as heating fuel. Yes, those oil tanks in your NJ basement are filled with the same Bunker C that goes into big rigs..... except for the "tax dye" that the big rigs get.

And the Sonata is built in Michigan..... so what?

I'm suprised at the number of heteroflexible responses. I know they exist... but I think they're the rarest form of all.

It can't cost GM $40 billion to develop a line of 4cylinder, 6 cylinder, and 8 cylinder clean diesel engines suitable for car applications. It can't cost GM $40 billion to do all that AND triple the production capacity of the Duramax for trucks.

I dont need your sympathy Theres nothing you can say or do for me And I dont want a miracle Youll never change for no one I hear your reasons why Where did you sleep last night?

Silvy still got 1st with the 5.3 over the Tundras 5.7?

I'll take an '07. The XJ is still the best looking of all the super sedans though.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'll take a 225hp/370ft/lbs turbodiesel CTS any day GM wants to make one for me.

As of yet, I don't know that he's seen it.... but no, it's not a joke. As of Monday night he moved out and we're in trial separation. He thinks it's just a temporary thing....as of now, I don't think I want him back.
