This far into the thread and no one has mentioned the B-bodies yet.

Cool...a true minipickup. I'm surprised Mini hasn't done one yet.

Chicago is the truck show.....

glad I didn't get caught sneaking into the barn at night to switch your spark plug wires around.....

My only experience so far has been in a Sentra and it was positive.

people don't like the "feel" of CVTs, that's why they haven't caught on in a major way.

Don't do a delayed yellow light. Do a delayed green light for cross traffic. What's wrong with the camera seeing that traffic has stopped or will stop so now it's ok to let cross traffic through?

I don't know that they will buy it back... but the liability for certain things will fall back to them automatically.

the problem is, if they liquidate, there is a bunch of financial responsibility that falls back onto GM.

interesting...but I've heard they have problems with bogging down.

Aw, you should have screencapped that. It's already off Craigslist.

well that was fast....

in that case, 9 is probably the magic number....

I'm still saying that a full-size pickup will be previewed, either in "concept" or "pre-production" form. But then again I can be wrong

Chicago is the truck show.

better numbers how? The Regal GS doesn't get 35mpg highway.

There has to be an upper limit as to how many gears are actually produce an advantage.

Your wife won't like having to turn off the A/C to accelerate onto I270

The name makes me think of this:

On a car that it was less important to keep original, I'd love to drive one with a paint scheme like that.

again, the only thing missing for me is the 3800.

CTS outsold the 5-series?

Good thing the X3 is RWD, it's all the way up to 50% of SRX sales.

45 RLs? You know it's time to give up when the ZDX outsells the model by 300% and the Ridgeline outsells it by 1700%

edit: Even the STS outsold the RL 2:1 and the STS has been canceled since May?

You didn't. I was just up since 4:30am yesterday and had a very busy day at work. The few posts I made on here last night were barely coherent. (not that you'd notice a difference)

No rattles and road noise is well muted. On the highway, it's just another mid-size family car, so that could be a good thing or bad thing depending on your point of view. One thing I didn't like about the seat control is that there is no control of seat bottom tilt, but if you raise seat up, it feels like it is tilting you forward in the process. Seat back control is very difficult to reach.

just worry about it tomoorrw

The LFX seems to be soft on torque down low in the rpm band and even at peak doesn't seem to match the BMW.

I believe the 3.0 is more likely

sorry man, it's been a hell of a day for me. let me see what I have here.
