While what you are saying may or may not be true (I'm not verifying either way).... there are posts that he has made that really are news to be discussed. *I* noticed the downvotes on a thread he started (the F-150 incentive thread)... and really, what is the point of downvoting a post like that, that is sharing news? I am specifically talking about stuff like that. I can solve the voting war by turning off negative voting or turning off the reputation system entirely, but I would rather leave the system in place.

I think it was Ford, not the Edge, that lost this comparison. By sending a vehicle so out of line with what was being requested, they set themselves up for failure. Had they sent a Titanium AWD with the 302A Equipment group it would have been just slightly cheaper than the Murano. Performance would have been the same and they wouldn't have been complaining about all the "sport" stuff in the seats and springs. I've driven the Murano and the Edge Titanium back to back and there isn't much effective difference between the two. It would come down to aesthetics mostly.

I was about to do my own brakes on the CR-V, but it needs calipers too and I didn't want to have to deal with bleeding them.... so I just dropped it at Monroe. I don't have the time to be messing with it.

I'll probably get in one in September.

Incoming folks from MT, please go easy with the negative voting. Don't downvote someone just because you don't like the messenger.

^^ Exactly.

Yes, both the Terrain and the Equinox needed to be refreshed sooner, but GM pushed them back to make the refreshes even better.

The Malibu you couldn't ignore was the 2008 - 2012 model... and no, people didn't ignore it. It sold very well. It was the 2013 that GM f-ed up on.

Same Fuel Economy. 4 times the utility. Almost 100 more horsepower. Loads more torque. Real four-wheel drive Good looks. Can actually tow more than an inflatable boat. Isn't based on a mini-van.

The most powerful car in my 3-car stable currently is my 2004 Honda CR-V. I probably won't have much to contribute.

Agreed. I love the All-Terrain look.

Buick is the brand that is surprising people. Not surprising me. Really? It doesn't suprise you that they are "Not your father's Buick" anymore?
