Steal it, go to FedEx, put it in the biggest box they have (it should fit) and send it to me. I want one.

January Car Spotting Thread
My local Honda dealer has a Rolls Royce Corniche and what appears to be a '65 GTO parked inside their body shop behind the pre-owned building. They've been there at least 2 weeks (I've been by twice trying to snap pics of their Silverado parts truck with giant Honda stickers) but I dont know why. I doubt anybody would take their classic GTO or problematic British convertible to a Honda dealership for body work, they're likely for sale or being stored there for some reason.

Want a Volt in 2010? Then take $40,000 to your nearest Chevy dealer
If GM wants to get all the good press the Prius got, they're going to have to eat it like Toyota did the first few years.

NY 2008 Preview: Production Pontiac ST pickup to appear
Again, I ask, what guarantee is there that they will all sell and sell at a profit? Thats what GM needs and thats what traditional pickups and midsize sedans do.

Wouldn't surprise me if he shut GMS down, also not surprising he is taking shots at C&G, he's not the most popular person here, thats a contradiction to his belief that he is the greatest person alive.

What are the "Gay Cars" in your city?
Older ones, yeah, not the newer ones. Nobody buys those.

Buying American owned & made does matter
At some point people had to say "X" is an appreciably better product than "Y" therefore I will purchase "Y" at a similar price because "Y" will be a better purchase for "Z" amount of time. That goes for cars, clothes, toasters, everything you can think of. If American products were able to balance quality and price the way imported products can, due to cheaper labor, this wouldn't be a problem. But Americans have a high standard of living, which means they want to be paid more, which means the price of stuff goes up and leaves business less money to run themselves.

The Altima has more HP (both 4 and 6 cyl) and better EPA ratings (both 4 and 6) than the Malibu, it also has more interior room than the Malibu. Design is subjective, I cant find a real problem with either cars exterior, interior wise, the Malibu is fantastic in LTZ trim, the rest of the Malibu trim are ok, I wouldn't call them any better than the Altima. So why did the Malibu deserve to beat the Altima?

Someone buys those? I thought gay people had better taste than that.

Wow, auto Fusion is teh suck, stick with the stick. The less expensive SE probably would have jumped a spot or two. It does need an updated interior, a little more style would be nice. I assume they mentioned the excellent ride and handling combination of the Accord, a trait many Hondas have exhibited over the years. I would say they got the top 3 right, you cant go wrong with any of them. Though I'd take an Accord coupe over any of the sedans.

Buying American owned & made does matter
There is no "end of the day" since both companies reinvest their profits into their business, its how all company sustain. That said, Ford has been reinvesting its profits into Europe and Asia, laying off American workers, closing American plants and replacing them with foreign workers. Hyundai has been reinvesting its money by building a plants and an R&D center in America, giving American workers jobs, providing a boost to the economy. So yes, where do the profits go?

Buying American owned & made does matter
So whats more American, my Fusion, based on a Mazda, mostly engineered in Japan and built in Mexico by a company thats been unloading American workers or a Hyundai Sonata, engineered and built in America by a company that has been investing money into America for the last decade or so?

Crappy economy hits me hard
The problem with that is that he would retaliate the same way, there would be a wang-off. There is nothing worse than a wang-war. He's out next Wednesday!!!
