Not Pittsburgh though? The only permaban went to wings who verbally attacked me and continues to do so via email from time to time.

Server doesn't show any blips since I rebooted it for updates last night. Apache and MySQL have both been running for 23 hours.

It didn't hit me till tonight why I'm so "meh" about this car. A 1996 Eagle Talon, a car a mere 5 years away from being eligible for classic plates, had 210 HP and 220 lb-ft of torque with only half a liter more displacement. It also could come with AWD and was lighter This is progress? For a more modern perspective, the Verano Turbo or Cobalt SS blow away the Civic SI on power for about the same price. I guess I just expected something more special.

I like the looks of the new Equinox, but like @ocnblu I fear that GM is going to get to ambitious with pricing and it will hurt sales. A fully loaded CR-V Touring with AWD, sunroof, NAV, and Driving Autotronics is $33,695. A Chevrolet Equinox Premier AWD similarly equipped (but active cruise control doesn't appear to be available) is $37,900. The outgoing CX-5 is $34,600.... A completely loaded Cherokee Trailhawk V6 is still slightly less money than the Equinox So I see Chevy having to rebate these down a bit to keep them moving.

Well we don't know what the one they tossed looks like.

Well that explains why they extended the previous generation by 2 years with that lackluster facelift.

I've been a long time fan of the W-bodies, but by the time these came around GM had done something to the seating position that makes them feel off to me. I could never get the seat into a comfortable position... I always felt I was sitting way too high.
-
Yesh, I defer to that definition then. I looked it up. I thought the chassis itself was an Econoline frame with an MV-1 body... but apparently it's not.
-
It uses a substantial amount of Econoline parts. It used the 4.6 liter V8, a Ford transmission. The dash cluster, center stack, and steering wheel are all Ford.

They're based on the Ford Econoline I think.

Thanks for notifying me. I know the solution, I just can't do it from my phone.
