  1. Maybe you can grab some pictures for us? Real pictures always look better than the pics GM puts out. and BTW, welcome back to C&G
  2. By the looks of that engine shroud, it's getting the 4.3 V6. You can tell by the location of the oil fill.
  3. They were moving 30,000 Avalanches per year there for a while, not too bad considering it is really just a body style option of the Suburban.
  4. My Question for Chrysler would be this: What is your Family car brand and does it make sense to separate that from your family SUVs/CUVs and Mini-vans?
  5. The new 4.3 Ecotec isn't physically bigger on the outside than the 3.6... there's no reason it couldn't fit in anything that already has the 3.6
  6. It's interesting that back then, even the street lamps had style.
  7. The Sprinters seem to rust a lot faster than their American counterparts.
  8. The last Impala SS was a laugh-out-loud joke. I dunno. An FE3 suspension, most powerful FWD car you could buy, a top speed of 150mph, and a 5.7s 0-60 time seem pretty super to me for a Chevy.
  9. Strange. Waiting for the next iteration of the Odyssey platform maybe?
  10. Maybe they're going to go the Buick route of trying to make an SUV that is very curvy to contrast the very square and blocky Range Rovers.
  11. The S250 Bluetec gets 40mpg? Big deal! A Cutlass V6 diesel with OD could do that in 1984.
  12. You can't fit a 7.0L DOHC engine where you can fit a 7.0 Pushrod. Any place you can fit a 7.0 liter DOHC, you can fit a 9, 10, or 11 liter pushrod. Power per liter is a red herring.
  13. What does high strength steel have to do with it. If anything, that would make it easier for manufacturers to make even safer convertibles.
  14. The only questionable SS that I can think of was the last Malibu SS, all the rest deserved their badge.
  15. I doubt most will notice. There isn't a tremendous amount of difference between a Jetta and a Jetta GLI in daily driving.
  16. The Hawks were ugggly. I prefer when they were called Champion.
  17. He didn't like it because the screen was smudged? Are you sure the ATS had the CUE update? Apparently it's a big difference
  18. For example, there is a $6,180 price difference between the base VW Eos 2.0T and the VW Beetle Convertible 2.0T and a $9,655 price bump over the VW Beetle Convertible 2.5
  19. I hope we get away from the insistence that all convertibles need to be hard top convertibles.... that adds a lot of cost that isn't needed.
  20. Caught a Subaru Brat today which is remarkable in itself, but this one was actually doing work! It was delivering a box of tools to a construction site in downtown Pittsburgh.
  21. It's not often that you and I agree... but when we do.. we really do.
  22. Jaguar has an SUV.... it's called Land Rover.
  23. might scrape
  24. I know they do... I'm suggesting that if Opel is in such dire straits these days... perhaps giving them something to work on that could have huge profit potential might not be such a bad idea.
  25. I don't think we have an emoticon for that one... oh wait.. yes we do.
