  1. Cool, thanks. I doubt I'll go a year between changes, but I just wanted to make sure waiting 4-5 months wasn't going to cause any serious problems.
  2. How much does the TIME between oil changes matter? Its been about 4 months since my last oil change, but I've put less than 2000 miles on the car since then. I plan on getting it changed this week, but I was just curious how much of a factor time was in the life of oil if the miles are low and not very hard.
  3. I guess we know where Toyota's "Best-ever sales" are coming from these days.
  4. $16k for a base model Astra? Well, looks like I won't be owning one. Thanks anyway, GM.
  5. So in other words, GM is saying "Build this or build nothing and lose your jobs." I like GM's strategy.
  6. What's GMT700? Small BOF truck platform?
  7. And if someone said the interior in the Impala was sophisticated, I would laugh just as hard.
  8. My god, the 300 is such a complete joke. "Already sophisticated interior design..."
  9. But not in a mid-size sedan.
  10. The competition offers better. Good enough isn't going to cut it.
  11. Given that he thinks a standard 4-spd automatic is still OK to put in a 2008 MY car, I would say you're right.
  12. No, they have 5-spd's standard. Make the 6-spd standard, drop that crummy 4-spd slushbox. All it is is something for the press to pick about in road tests.
  13. "well-matched 4-speed automatic" "optional 6-speed automatic" What is it about COMPETITIVE that they can't seem to get through their skulls?
  14. Man, that all black interior is freakin AWESOME!!!
  15. I normally don't support tariffs on imported goods because that impedes free trade. However, so does currency manipulation. Its good to see government pressure on this issue.
  16. Still no 4-disc brakes for the HHR in 2008? Disappointing.
  17. Why doesn't the regular HHR have 4-wheel disc brakes? Thats something thats always puzzled me.
  18. If I thought I could live with the ride and handling of a 4x4 Jeep Wrangler on a daily basis, I'd LOVE to have an Unlimited.
  19. Except other cars of its class do it better with better materials for the same price.
  20. I hope GM takes the UAW to the cleaners.
  21. I like UPS's slogan, actually.
  22. I think that brown is a beautiful color. But the first Enclave I saw on the road in Lexington was the White Diamond Tri-coat and it was gorgeous.
  23. Pretty much the only thing the Cobalt has going for it is its powertrain. Styling is subjective. I'd buy a Mitsubishi Lancer GTS over a Cobalt easily. Cobalt needs a better interior ASAP. Changes I'd make: Completely redone interior, new design, better materials. Bump up the horsepower for all available engines, give it a 5-spd auto (not for me), and competitive options such as navigation, HIDs, etc.
