    The S250 Bluetec gets 40mpg? Big deal! A Cutlass V6 diesel with OD could do that in 1984.

    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.

    What does high strength steel have to do with it. If anything, that would make it easier for manufacturers to make even safer convertibles.

    The only questionable SS that I can think of was the last Malibu SS, all the rest deserved their badge.

    I doubt most will notice. There isn't a tremendous amount of difference between a Jetta and a Jetta GLI in daily driving.

    The Hawks were ugggly. I prefer when they were called Champion.

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    It's not often that you and I agree... but when we do.. we really do.

    Jaguar has an SUV.... it's called Land Rover.
  13. Drew Dowdell
    might scrape

    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.
  15. Drew Dowdell
    I don't think we have an emoticon for that one... oh wait.. yes we do.

    If your regular 87 is $3.78 then $4.07 is a steal for diesel

    I guess GM doesn't see the ROI in designing and building such product in-house. If they can't find the ROI in designing and building a global small delivery van, likely based off of Delta III, then they just need to pack it up and stop building cars.

    I'm with Ninety-Eight in asking why GM shouldn't take the lead on something like this. Let Opel work on it (gives them something useful to do) and be the design supplied to Peugeot Citroen Isuzu Holden Vauxhaull Chevy and GMC.

    VEBA needs to be free to make investment changes as much as they want to... the truth may be that ownership of Chrysler may not be in their best long term financial interests or having such a large chunk of their assets tied to a single entity may be considered high risk.

    Not just Ram, Chevrolet, GMC... but Fiat, Opel, Citroen, Peugeot... and eventually Nissan.
  21. Drew Dowdell
    Well the Peugeot Boxer is the same as the Fiat Ducato... or the Ram Promaster to us Yanks, and the smaller vans are all related to Opels or other Fiats (or both) Why couldn't GM just use Opel?
  22. Drew Dowdell
    could just be a sticker package on the SRT-4

    DING DONG THE 5-CYLINDER'S DEAD!

    Green Hollywood types. Bill Gates. Warren Buffet. Al Gore.

    One of the top end Holdens also uses it.
