well there is a substantial difference in size.

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"

that's a keeper. what wheels came on it?

*boom* Wish granted! Audi Q5 getting 3.0 TDI

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.

I guess my hearing is bad enough that I usually can't tell.

Could exist.... would? I doubt it.

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.

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.

the upgrade is a manual one, but worth it

Just updated mine to Jellybean. The process is very straight forward. and your #1 bullet is wrong. Just swipe the name right to dial.

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.
-
but aztek isn't really current anymore.

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.

The 300C continues to be one of my favorite cars sold today.

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.

There is still more tuning to do, even though this is more hardware than we used to be on, performance seems to be pokey.....

That was just me trying to tune stuff.... I have to turn the SQL server off to do it.

Not exactly. The Volt had similar functionality implemented about a year or two ago. An address could be sent from Google Maps to the Volt, with OnStar's turn-by-turn ready to give direction. Also, Google used to have a send-to-car function that was compatible with a lot of makes. I guess that has since been eliminated so Google can now charge a good chunk of money for exclusivity. I think they mean this is a first for Google Maps in the dash as an app.
