  1. I doubt it. The turbo-direct-injection combo seems to be the magic elixir that gives great low end torque with good efficiency. Driven the same way, I'm guessing the Focus will have better fuel economy. Keep your foot in the turbo on either car, and of course the mpgs will drop.
  2. I agree that you should have done it a while ago. I'm sure this is the start of something big for you. Congrats on making it happen.
  3. What's the size difference 88 v. 98?
  4. Glad to hear the feedback. You should post some pics of yours.
  5. '59s aren't bad, but Oldsmobile looses me in '60. I'm indecisive about '61 and then they're pretty much dead to me until '64
  6. If that trunk had been out in the Indian ocean, the Malaysian flight could have landed safely...
  7. This got me wondering about the 300 now.... the Charger is getting an update, so will the 300 also?
  8. will it get better mpg than the more powerful cruze eco? I would imagine so if vehicle weights remain similar and Ford doesn't F-up the gearing. It has less internal friction by having one less cylinder and uses direct injection where the Cruze does not.
  9. whatever happened to the report that the engineering specification was correct but that Delphi was not building to the proper spec?
  10. The power steering recall would have no effect on the road vibration at higher speeds. That recall, IMHO, is rather silly.... we don't go around recalling other vehicles just because the accessory belt could snap some day, do we? The net effect of the electric power steering in the G6 failing would be the same as a belt failing in any other car with traditional power steering. GM should have just extended the warranty on the unit to some crazy high mileage and change them out if and when they fail.
  11. Wagon or Sedan? What would be the competition in your mind if you were allowed to pick from the field? Would you pick this over the others?
  12. The current V60 really catches my eye these days. I wish we had more wagon options and I'm glad that Volvo still offers them. William, would you buy one of these if you could?
