  1. The lack of a strong design theme is what bothers me most... by leaving the silhouette basically similar to Fords they end up with the perception that they are just Fords with a fancy grille. Buick may use all the same platforms as Chevy, but there is substantially better visual differentiation between the brands.
  2. not sure I'd call it a reboot... just the next update.
  3. Dart - finally shipping some automatics
  4. My guess is SRT doesn't have an engine ready for it yet. Probably a turbo in the 1.8 to 2.0 liter range.
  5. well there is a substantial difference in size.
  6. Can you really have a global tag line? Words mean different things in different cultures. "Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and Chevrolet" just doesn't play well in Saudi Arabia. Chrysler's "Imported from Detroit" along with the Eminem song are so distinctly American I wonder if they would have a repulsive effect in say, France. The only one I can think of who got away with a truly global tag line (twice) was Volkswagen with "Fahrvergnügen" and "Das Auto"
  7. that's a keeper. what wheels came on it?
  8. *boom* Wish granted! Audi Q5 getting 3.0 TDI
  9. While a nice idea, I doubt an Impala diesel would out gun a Passat. The Impala has a lot more heft to move around, that will hurt it in fuel economy and/or performance. Reuss already said no.
  10. I guess my hearing is bad enough that I usually can't tell.
  11. Could exist.... would? I doubt it.
  12. The GM 2.5 is much smoother engine than the Nissan, but the Nissan has 400lbs less to pull around yet is a larger package with more room and with the CVT gets much better fuel economy.
  13. 98% also had other franchises to fall back on.. as for extra facilities. "Welcome to our brand new expanded pre-owned vehicle super store!*" *Located in our former Suzuki showroom.
  14. If I MUST stay with BB for my work phone, I'd at least want it to be that one. But there is a super secret Android and iOS pilot program starting up soon and I'm trying to get to be a beta tester.
  15. the upgrade is a manual one, but worth it
  16. Just updated mine to Jellybean. The process is very straight forward. and your #1 bullet is wrong. Just swipe the name right to dial.
  17. Pontiac was ahead of its time with the Aztek, and once they moved the bumpers from grey tupperware to body color, the look improved substantially.
  18. but aztek isn't really current anymore.
  19. Not a bad finish for a company that spent the last 3 months of the year in bankruptcy.
  20. If you're going to nominate, post a pic also. Search our automotive picture gallery to see if we have your wretched vehicle in stock.
  21. The 300C continues to be one of my favorite cars sold today.
  22. I never liked the Honda Element from a styling standpoint, but I could never argue against its versatility. The Nissan Murano is pretty darn ugly too.
  23. I"m just happy that the largest American made coupe will remain in production.
