I do agree that diesels make for a good drive for those used to lower end torque. Unfortunately, I don't think there will be a CTS-D (for the time being) as GM suspended or cancelled the co-development of the 2.9L block with VM.

MILFs might prefer the Scirocco over an oversized shoebox such as the Routan... the issue, then, is how to increase the MILF count ?

Good Lord!

The CobaltSS engine would have been great on the 3-door, but the engine the 5-door Saturn Astra needed, IMHO, was the 180hp turbo 1.6L. Sadly GM didn't want to or couldn't spend the certification money for that engine (no auto 1.6L turbo offered AFAIK), so that'd be extra investment money for a car that was, at the time it was offered in the US, an old car. EDIT - Since someone questioned the utility of your writeup, a quick word on it: I found it interesting! It's always good to know what Americans think of the everyday cars we drive here in Europe. Remember, these sorts of vehicles are our Camrys-Accords-Altimas.

Aha, thanks! We don't have those around here :AH-HA_wink:

I usually sleep very well. What I cannot do, however, is sleep more than 6 hours... it's really annoying to go to bed early because I feel tired and then wake up at 5am...

what are those? :/

Good Lord! Aren't people supposed to see Jesus in chips, and not KKK hoods?

I get what you mean. It is inexpensive transportation in an attractive package, not a cheapened out product.

If Ford markets the Fiesta as a direct competitor to the MINI, then The MINI is a much better driver, overall it is a better car, even though Ford did make an impressive improvement in the new Fiesta. If Buick got the 2012 Corsa (since Chevy will get its own Gamma), then you'd have your Fiesta direct competitor.

Portuguese police started using this as well. It can instantly match plate numbers whose owners/drivers have large backlogs of unpaid traffic tickets, for example.

Qatar is nr 3 in natural gas reserves, IIRC. Oil and gas wealth tends to spread around; hopefully they will be able to successfully diversify their economy.
