  1. This is just the proof....
  2. I thought Subaru's heritage was in fork trucks and backhoes.
  3. You'll make more money as C&G Admin then a comedian Bri.
  4. See, I actually like the Maxx... I think it looks more American. Saturn can have the Opel.
  5. The Aura has the 3.6 and a 4 cylinder, 2mode hybrid coming....what exactly is uncompetitve about that? Sure there is also the 3.5, but there is nothing wrong with offering customers the choice of that engine.* *Stated this way because I know your opinon on pushrod V6s. I like them, you don't. We can agree on that.
  6. Well... like what kind of bad experiences? Apple's Applecare warrenty is the best in the business.
  7. Don't do the G5! Seriously. Nothing is wrong with the processor itself except that Apple has already determined it's obsolesense. All new software will be written for the MacIntels.
  8. Alienware is now owned by Dell. If you get a Mac get an Intel based Mac. They're faster then the G5 cousins and all the new Mac software will be written for them. With the new MacIntels, you can also get a piece of software called BootCamp that will allow you to boot into Windows XP or the forthcoming Windows Vista. The best part is, Windows XP runs faster/better on a MacIntel than it does on most PCs. That said, I use a PC for my business.... but I steal my partner's Powerbook G4 whenever I can. Even though it's nearly two years older then my Acer Ferrari 64, it's almost as fast at most applications.
  9. So much like the "new" e-class.... it's the "new" c-class.
  10. I like Chinese. I like Chinese. They only come up to your knees, Yet they're always friendly, and they're ready to please. I like Chinese. I like Chinese. There's nine hundred million of them in the world today. You'd better learn to like them; that's what I say. I like Chinese. I like Chinese. They come from a long way overseas, But they're cute and they're cuddly, and they're ready to please. I like Chinese food. The waiters never are rude. Think of the many things they've done to impress. There's Maoism, Taoism, I Ching, and Chess. So I like Chinese. I like Chinese. I like their tiny little trees, Their Zen, their ping-pong, their yin, and yang-ese. I like Chinese thought, The wisdom that Confucious taught. If Darwin is anything to shout about, The Chinese will survive us all without any doubt. So, I like Chinese. I like Chinese. They only come up to your knees, Yet they're wise and they're witty, and they're ready to please. I like Chinese. I like Chinese. Their food is guaranteed to please, A fourteen, a seven, a nine, and lychees. I like Chinese. I like Chinese. I like their tiny little trees, Their Zen, their ping-pong, their yin, and yang-ese. I like Chinese. I like Chinese. They only come up to your knees...
  11. Toyota actually had a chance to win me over a few years ago before I bought the CTS. I had the Cutlass Convertible and was looking to replace it after 160,000 miles. I really dislike the florida rental fleet Sebring, so I went to look at the solara. It seemed to be an ok car, nothing that got my heart racing, but I probably would have been content with it <especially on days like today>. What put me off was the dealership. To you sales persons out there: Tip #1 don't diss the customer's current ride. Tip #2 don't brag about the power of the car when the customer's current ride is 10 years older and has more power. Tip #3 don't say "Come back and see me when you're ready to trade that thing in"* , while the customer is walking out.... save your breath or they'll only loath you more. *my bolding for emphasis on what he said.
  12. I'm never tempted, with any car, from any brand to think the car is perfect in it's first year or it's tenth year. I waited till the '04 CTS for a reason.
  13. My sister has what seems is an affinity for old Nissans with valve tap issues. Every vehicle/nissan she's had, have sounded like they are 4 quarts low on oil. Not to say that they aren't 4 quarts low on oil..... I am kinda strange in the fact the I like the bustle back cars, <85 Seville, 85 Continental, 81 Imperial> and the 79-85 E-body coupes that everyone else seems to hate. I really like the long hood/short deck squared off design like on the E-bodies and Mark VI/Thunderbird/Cougar.
  14. Sorry? What? I can't hear you over the roar of 300 horsepower and glasspacks! * *The car I was tooling around in all afternoon.
  15. Well, the 159 would likely replace the Passat as it's currently the oldest in our "Fleet". Since Chas was probably going to get another Passat or an A4.... the loss goes to VW/Audi rather than GM.
  16. They'd be LED lights... use hardly any juice at all.
  17. The '08 CTS better be damn good otherwise I'm getting a 159
  18. The front end is a 2 generation ago honda civic mated with a current gen Infinity Q
  19. Well are there any reviews as to how the Vectra handles?
  20. How generic..... what does it have to sell better than? Solara convertible? Sebring Convertible? Sebring Convertible minus fleet sales? Or does it just have to meet/exceed it's own sales goal?
  21. Except that it's also a version of the Saab, which handles pretty well for a front driver.
  22. Curve is a coupe Nomad in a 3 and 5 door
  23. So they're moving up.... that's good to hear.
  24. Yes, I like me some high quality, leather wrapped &#036;h&#33; knobs in my car too....
