Unfortunately for everyone (a diesel Astra would make me overlook some of the huge flaws the car has) foresight is something that the state of Michigan outlawed in 1968.

Certifying those diesels would cost money that GM doesn't have

I'll get it out of the way

Really? The President of the United States doesn't have E Z Pass?

Hey NOS, your mom.

Your vocabulary flabbergasts me.

EXCITEMENT!!!!!

GM doesn't have to put any money into GMC, so GMC is pretty much pure profit.

DING DING DING! G5 30.5% fleet Vibe 21.7% fleet G6 44.8% fleet G8 4.4% fleet Grand Prix 64.6% fleet Solstice 8.2% fleet Torrent 23.5% fleet

Really? Your're looking at it and reading the description and still wondering why GM wanted nothing to do with this?

You think he had hiccups?

I want a WTF badge

Just for fun: Overall Length HS250h 184.8 (all specs from Autoblog) Corolla 178.7 (all specs from Toyota's website) Wheelbase HS250h 106.3 Corolla 102.4 Height HS250h 59.3 Corolla 57.7 Width HS250h 70.3 Corolla 69.3 I doubt many people who see it in person will mistake it for the significantly smaller Corolla.

Then at least put that sig with the bouncing boobies back up.

I cant wait for the MKT Paul Wall Special Edition.

No, but I did one eat a little Chinese. Now can this thread fade into oblivion so I can necro it?

And another poll after that asking how badly students are being wallet-raped by tuition increases. I will say this, since cutting back at work, school has been sooo much easier. 40 hours at work, plus 12 credit hours is a bitch. 20 hours at work plus 15 credit hours is so much easier. I did have to laugh when I looked at my last check stub of 2008. I hadn't had a year-end income that low since I was a senior in high school.

BTW, I checked the sales ticker, Honda and Nissan dont separate Accord and Altime sedan sales from coupe sales, but the G Sedan sells about three times what the coupe sells.

It is RWD, and I'm sure an LSx will slide in with a few slight modifications.

They would have to be crazy-flexible in order to meet worldwide demand. Europe would still want their tiny cars with diesels, and they would have to meet their pedestrian safety standards, while Americans wouldn't be willing to buy anything that small, they'd have to start two sizes up (at least) from what Europe got, and go three or four sizes larger.

And now to watch this thread fade into oblivion....until I bump it in a year.

Apparently he'd rather have no GM (or a Chinese owned GM) than a GM bailed out by the government.

I love coupes as much as the next guy, but for most people, they're just not practical. Too hard to get into the back (especially for kids in carseats) and too little space for adults when they get back there. The Monte Carlo, Camaro, Thunderbird, Cougar, Eldorado (which was beautiful in my eyes) all died because sales fell. A few new coupes have popped up in the last decade (Infiniti's G, the Tiburon, BMW 1-Series come to mind) that have sold well enough to justify their existence, but none of them would be here if it weren't for a larger, 4-door counterpart because thats where the sales are.
