    but... doesn't the Cruze use the switchblade key? I know the Cobalt didn't. Like the article said, they are recalling all of them just to replace a few thousand known to be defective, but still, wouldn't the Cruze use a different switch?

    So they're sort of consolidating their line-up...I can understand that..

    I would assume it would come to the US.... I don't think Volvo could afford to do a new car right now and not sell it in all markets they currently operate.

    The Passat seems to be doing pretty good in that regard.

    If I haven't recommended it already, there is a great app I use called aCar on Android. Even if you dont track fuel economy with it, it is a great way to get reminders for things like tire rotations, oil changes, insurance / inspection expiration reminders. Just need to update the odometer reading in the app once a month or so. Every time you do something to the car, just enter the mileage and rhe service performed. It's great for me since both the CRV and Toronado are hardly driven anymore and there is no way I'll remember the last time I did something.. It worked out well for me to prove I did tire rotations on schedule on the CRV even though Costco wasn't always the one performing the rotations. Edit: you can modify the maintenance interval for any service or item to match manufacturer recommendation, so if these tires require a more frequent rotation interval to maintain warranty, you can adjust for that.

    Look at the pictures and remember that it was obviously quite cold when he had this car. diesels usually clatter more when cold

    GMTruckguy, do you have a smartphone? Android or Apple if so?

    This really does nothing for my SEO...

    Are they directional tires? They look it (and I think I see the arrow on the sidewall)

    It's a diesel, it won't be broken in till about tank 20 or 30 at the rate you're going.

    true... I'm sure my article would have been much longer had it included all of Toyota's secret technical service bulletins

    *sigh* what a waste of time.... the data is already out there and searchable going back into the 1960s That's how I did the article on Recalling Toyota's Recalls
  13. Drew Dowdell
    It may be by part number and if the part had a rolling change, then that is why it wouldn't be included

    If the headliner isn't suede, it will never beat the S-Class in sales....

    What are the treadwear warranties on each?
  16. Drew Dowdell
    I've had my eye on this lil number back home in Pittsburgh. I haven't gone to see it yet, but the miles and price and options are just right for me. http://bit.ly/OSoDgp i have it on good authority that the scuff on the front bumper would only be about $700 to repair

    There are already millions of turbo charged vehicles out there will 400,000 - 500,000 - 1,000,000 miles on them..... There is not wholesale turbo failure going on with them. If there are turbo failures in individual models, that does not damn the entire technology to the dustbin. We did not give up on the car after Pintos started exploding, we made improvements and moved on.

    ah ha! i see it now
  19. Drew Dowdell
    Totally tubular.
  20. Drew Dowdell
    Really? I can't see the band button.
  21. Drew Dowdell
    More like a periscope.

    Grandstanding..... Call Wagoneer/Henderson/Whitacre and LaHood instead... they were the ones at the helm at the time.
  23. Drew Dowdell
    The steering wheels always looked about 4 inches too big in diameter on these

    I have one as a rental this week... man what a great car. Feels solid like driving a bank vault without the extremely heavy feeling. Handling is great and it feels very quick too. rushing to work this morning and look down... oppsie... I'm doing 90. Not happy with the gauges... either go with all physical gauges or all TFT screen gauges... but not both. 4 stars... would drive again.

    I knew it wasn't him because this guy can see over the dashboard.
