Seriously, the bimmer even broke down on them....

I have this C&D in front of me.... lets see here: A 42k Bimmer probably at or near sticker or a 36k CTS that I can probably get at employee discount around 32k. 42K will get you a LOT of CTS after employee discount. Certainly one with NAV what would kill their complaint about the dash screens. Or..... A 47k ?! Volvo... when I could get a CTS-v for probably the same price. It's just another case of C&D stacking the deck so they get the outcome they are looking for.

Oh... and you being abnormal and me being mad are not mutually exclusive ;-)

Seeing as they're all in the same lot, it would make it incredibly easy to end the problem with a few laps in a monster truck.

Well Hertz/Avis/Alamo... it was one of those. I did all the negotiation 350 miles from the actual car. Got her a 6 year, 60,000 mile warrenty lumped in to boot.

Are you doing any of your assesment of the LaX from actually sitting in one or spending any reasonable amount of time behind the wheel? The impression you are giving is that all your assesment is from those pictures. I think you need to go twiddle the knobs in a LaX before compairing them to an Accord because they are one of the things on the LaX that made me think Audi. The center stack in the LaX does flow rather well. If you're going to go after a poor flowing stack from GM, feel free to attack my CTS for it, but the LaX shouldn't be on your hit list. The LaX does have softer seats, the accord has firmer ones. That is a personal preference thing. I don't find either seat particularly comfortable but I prefer the LaX to the Accord. One of the things that sold me on my CTS was that the seat felt like it was designed specifically for my butt.

Why? Given that budget, what would you want your mother to drive in a Boston winter? Keep in mind that she's probably not going to invest in snow tires, she's probably not the best in bad weather. I much rather have my mother is a relatively tame FWD car with decent stability, some luxury features, and good looks. That's why I picked out a nice V6 Aurora, Hertz special for her. Fairly loaded for a V6 model, 6,000 miles, $26,000. It's a 2001 that she bought in 2002. A LaX CXS would be a great replacement for her.

Oh look, they decided to update the Dodge Raider.

Important safety tip. When you see clouds that are green, swirling, or green and swirling, take cover. I don't know what it is, but when clouds turn green, there is always something nasty afoot.

My mortgage on the stone house behind my car in this pic is $739 a month including taxes and insurance. 3 bedroom 2 bath fireplace 1 car garage 1/3 acre land 3 porches hardwood floors throughout 15 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh.

Cool? Again? It would have to have been cool in the first place. Now if we're talking cool compaired to a Cadillac valiant attempt at an entry-level luxury car.... then sure... a Civic is cool.

Nissan Pulsar

all of them If B.A.S. is as portible as they say, and they've tested it on engines up to a 5.3, then there is no reason to not make it available on every model in the GM line.

Why are Lexus Hybrids good, yet Cadillac hybrids would be bad? People are really clamoring for the RX400h.

Bring it.... Sixty8

Dealer group 1: Chevy Dealer group 2: Saturn Olds <I wish> Dealer group 3: Buick Pontiac GMC Dealer group 4: Cadillac Saab Hummer

We have a suprisingly large gay population here on C&G

I've felt for a while that AMC was about 15 years ahead of it's time. If they could have survived <minus Reneult> until about 1992, they would have been fine.

Aaaaand.. that's a wrap folks!

Dude! Where's my Nissan!?!

The Titanic finally reached port, eh?

That's a Lexus? I thought it was a Mazda.... woops :lol:

Well it looks like you got the wrist motion down at least... j/k

Thanks, I have more, but I can't seem to find them. Photography is an amature hobby of mine.
