PARIS (AP) - The French defense ministry on Saturday called for an internal investigation of the leak of an intelligence document that raises the possibility that Osama bin Laden may have died of typhoid in Pakistan a month ago but said the report of the death remained unverified. "According to a reliable source, Saudi security services are now convinced that Osama bin Laden is dead," said the intelligence report. linkity just in time for the mid-term elections

Why is Nissan acting this desperate?

Come on guys! Everyone grab your pitchforks and pile into the Avalanche!

Buick wasn't always a full line division, in the 40's and 50's they had maybe 4 models. In the 60s that number when up to 5 or 6. It wasn't really till the 80s and 90s when Buick got a version of nearly every platform GM made. So if anything, Buick is returning to its roots.

OOOooh. Tortoise shell wood. I'm sold!

When is this due to arrive?

I voted "yes" with the same disclaimer as Booyah and Croc and Detroitnut

I'm not arguing with his credibility, he might be able to see the entire Toyota lineup till 2020, but that doesn't mean the GM, or anyone else for that matter, can't match it. But more importantly, when we here these "We are Toyota of Borg, Prepair to be assimulated" messages we end up with just a "ho-hum" product. Sure it's blandly styled, sure it's resonably reliable, but GM, Honda, Acura, MB have all shown they can easily "match" Toyota when they put their pencils to it.

Priming the pump a bit much? If he's refering to the Tundra, the GMT-900s at least match, if not exceed it. The Cobalt is catching up to the Corolla, especially in profitability. The Cobalts MCE will fall very near to the all new Corolla, which by the looks of the spy shots, isn't something to write home about. The new CTS looks to match the GS The Lucerne is already outselling the Avalon I have my doubts that a new RWD Impala will come close to the sales of a Camry, but it will at least gain on it. So yeah, Toyota isn't that far ahead of the game.

Wasn't the Sky a new for 2007 model? why isn't it in the list?

Haven't you seen Motorola's new naming scheme lately? It'd be the Motorola Penr

I agree that the smoking cliques tend to have all the drama going on. Most of it seemed to be internal workplace drama though. I'm so glad I'm my own business these days and don't have to deal with people like that.

Another point to be made: The Cobalt making money now means two things: 1. Vehicles that were previously profitable are now more so. Apparently GM made a LOT of money on each Avalanche sold. So now with legacy costs reduced, the GMT-900s will be able to provide even more profit back to GM. 2. The lower MPG vehicles that tend to be more profitable <trucks/suvs mostly>, now can still turn a profit at a lower volume <thinking gas prices here> because they are no longer subsidizing the compact cars that weren't profitable before. The cobalt making money *really* indicates the over all health of the company at lot more than just that one platform. It's this that will allow Buick and Pontiac to sell at lower volumes with fewer platforms and still be viable.

haven't you done the same with the GMT-900s?

awesome!

yeah! that's it....

pics?

yes Cosmatology students are a strange breed. They practice everything on each other.

Carpet? :AH-HA_wink:

many of GM's past problems have been addressed. not all...but enough for the Cobalt to make money

Chas is still in cosmatology school, so I let him practice on me.

It's how I keep 'em coming back for more.... but jeez, it doesn't show that much

but the fuel milage numbers for this car are nothing to write home about.

I must admit I don't know what happens on the eastern side of the state, but out my way, only Allegheny has testing.
