I've rented Devilles from the pre-quiet tuning era numerous times. I'm not sure what you're hearing, but at 80mph the Northstar is silent, there is no "constant growl". Heck, not even my CTS with a V6 which has to work harder has a "constant growl" and it's not quiet tuned either.

the 3.5 is a good engine, but sometimes oil filters are hard to find...

Riviera was a body style on the 50's buicks it designated the car as being a hardtop Similar to the holiday designation on the Oldsmobiles

Interior looks stunning... exterior is evolutionary and kinda blah, doesn't scream premium like the others...... the steering wheel doesn't match the look of the rest of the interior. overall, B+

Holden's VE Commodore E-Series Gets to 60 in Under 5 Seconds MELBOURNE, Australia — Australia's Holden Special Vehicles has launched an E-Series performance sedan lineup based on the GM unit's freshly introduced VE Commodore. With a 0-62-mph time under five seconds, they are claimed to be the fastest Australia-made cars ever. The new HSV range includes Clubsport R8, GTS and Senator Signature models. All have been completely styled, modeled and engineered in-house by HSV. They feature aggressive body kits, spoilers and new, repositioned curved LED taillights. The change required a unique fascia and rear bumper assembly. The three-model range, with prices beginning at the U.S. equivalent of $48,000 for the Clubsport R8 and topping out at the equivalent $58,700 for the Senator Signature, is powered by a mildly modified version of the 6.0-liter LS2 V8 used in the previous series. Exhaust extractors increase power to 412 horsepower, and torque has been boosted to 406 pound-feet at 4400 rpm. All models are available with a six-speed automatic transmission; a six-speed manual is offered on the Clubsport R8 and the GTS. All have the latest Bosch ABS, traction control and electronic stability control, while the GTS and the Senator Signature also get magnetic ride control, which automatically adjusts suspension stiffness for improved cornering grip and handling. Road wheels are 19- or 20-inch alloys paired with a unique range of Bridgestone tires. What this means to you: Hot cars are always good news, anywhere in the world they occur.

He didn't ask the question which is the best selling car with the minimal amount of changes.... he asked which was the best selling nameplate. And yes... the most nameplates sold say Corolla

This is better "breathing room" for GM than Toyota raising prices. Gives the 900's a head start. Puts the new Sienna out to 2010 or 11... at which time the Lambda vans should be out. Puts the new Avalon out to 2010 or 11... at which time the Zeta Lucurne should be out. Even the reported delaying of the Corolla could prove to be a boon for GM. Cobalts MCE is coming up soon, no?

Glad that you like it! I was under the impression that the non-auto up rear windows are to prevent pinching little fingers.
