Yesterday is probably a great day for Chris Dwayne though....

I really like Pittsburgh.... but I'm not normal.

It'll absolutely murder the Tundra. Anyone disappointed with their Dodge or F-150 would head here rather than Toyota..... especially since it'll likely kill the competition the same way the current one does in hauling/towing/hauling ass.

you're such a hoe

So what is the "not-the-UV8" that we would be getting? DOHC? Pushrod? Old rebuilt Northstar?

UV8 is alive again?

A 5.3 in the GMC would be great for a Denali edition....

*huff* you couldn't get it with the gold package? maybe you could get a Type-R sticker....

When does the Uplander end?

I know. I own one. I was refering to the pushrod FWD 3.5 and 3.9. We've not seen a RWD version of these engines at all. The 3.6 was designed <apparently> from the get-go to be either FWD or RWD. It needed no substantial modifications to be used in the LaCross or Rendevous.

Have we even seen a longitudinal 3.5 or 3.9 yet? Appartently it's quite hard to switch around an engine that wasn't designed to go both ways. It took a fairly substantial redesign to put the N* into the new STS and XLR.

Sure you are.... you're gay.

I think him having to drive one of those would serve him right for being so picky...

There's that NG CTS steering wheel again....

Chas gets about 18mpg city in his V6 Passat mostly because he drives it like he stole it. When I drive it, I get 23 city.

well aparently not.... I kid I kid!

BLC is the convertible? All the practice was on the G6 so they could get it right for Cadillac </rampant infounded speculation>

truth!

I'm thinking the whining was coming from the front driver's seat location.

Now wait a sec. You can't have it both ways. I get shouted down here because I maintain that the CTS is in the same class as the 5-series because they're the same size and have similar drivetrains. I fight with the people that say that the CTS is in the 3-series class because it shares a price point and is at the bottom rung of the Cadillac lineup. Therefore if I'm wrong about the CTS then the Aveo is in the same class as the Rio, Accent, and Aerio.

boo hiss

and yet still one of the best sellers in it's class...

*patiently waits for 68 to come in and say "if they'd just switched to RWD, the Galant alone would outsell Camry, Accord, Impala, and Sonata combined"*

I can think of two local Mitsu dealers here in PGH. 1. looks like a doublewide trailer... the service department is an old Sunoco station. It's former name was "South Hills Premier Used Autos". 2. is a former Daewoo dealership with a vinyl "Mitsubishi" sign taped over the old Daewoo sign. At night the sign still lights up green and you can clearly read Daewoo under the white vinyl.

I'm parking the CTS in the garage for the next month or two.... this is getting ridiculous!
