F**k the Hybrids... those are for clueless yuppies who are too dumb to do math and or want to spend a premium on a car that's all about image. If I was to spend $25K on a city car form toyota it'd be a gently used 5-spd IS300. But if I lived in the city and wanted to be able to park in tiny spaces & negotiate narrow roads I'd spend $1500 and get a mint condition 1983-or older VW Rabbit. No emissions test, 5-speed makes it fun to drive.

You're missing 50% of the driving experience from the standpoint of an enthusiast. I've only met a few people in my life who prefered atuo after having driven both. Esp. in little econoboxes it's everything. A manual trans. makes a crappy car liveable & inversely a automatic can run a great car like a VW GTi or BMW 328i. Anyway my nomine: 1983 Caprice 4.3 with highway gears and out of balance tires. 1983 is still pre-emissions in Mass though so you can avoiud the worry of a old car failing the sniff test.

I'll be dancing on the freekin Rooftop!!!

Cool, I have a new Avatar. Thanks!

If it causes ANY amount of permanent damage my answer is NO. ONe killed brain cell, one ounce of damage to my body.... anything.

Freekin' pathetic, but I expect nothing less from this crappy company.

Hey BV, can you pass this along to Satan, being the self-proclaimed Hell resident and all?

The butt has grown on me. He-he, "Mercedes has a nice butt" ....sounds like something you'd hear on a street corner. :wink:

God I hate those effin things. I remember when some Broad who worked with my mom bought a nasty (not in a good way) 1991 Mitsubishi Galant with those... they were so retarded. I've owned a few cars with them and I can honestly say it's a trend I hope never comes back. Esp. if you still have to buckle your lap belt. God what a waste of resources, money and all that extra weight & potential breakage is so not worth it. The real kicker is the first time you bang your head against it and see for a few minutes while you're wipping off scalp, hair and blood off the corner fo the anchor. WTF was up wiht those concave body panels on those anyway? Who thought that looked good? I guess Ford did since they used that caved-in body panel style on the Taurus/Sable.

Ocnblu: Didn't you get the memo? The newest trend is to hate comfortable riding cars wiht cushy suspensions. Why do you think the B-body was canceled?

Two words bro: SNOW TIRES. As God is my witness there is an old Coot up in New Hampshire who owns a junkyard and some small town businesses. He's bought several Corvettes from Bill DeLuca Chevrolet but he dresses and looks like a average Blue-Collar Joe. He drives his Corvette year round. In N.H. Yes you heard me right. I thought it was some sort of urban ledgend that this guy drives his Vette through Blizzards but I was convinced the first time I saw him pull up to the Parts Dept. in his 2000 Corvette ragtop in Millenuim Yellow (with white top) on a blustery day with about 3" of packed snow on the roads. Sure he was going a lot slower than the Silverados & Trailblazaers on the roads that day but he drove like 30 miles in those conditions and laughed when peolpe asked him why his Vette is not off the road for the winter. "Why, so my fiberglass rear quarters do not rust?" My f**king hero. I'll buy that guy a beer someday because he's a true Renaissance man! If someone really doubts my word I'll give you the cell number of my friends John Schiavoni or Mike Darrizo and they'll tell you. Granted before the days of traction control this would be a bit of a stretch but he had his regular rims on (the chrome 5-spokes) so the tires must have been swapped out for all-seasons at least.

Cadillac is great But Front Wheel Drive sucks a lot So hard to decide

V-Series, Cadillac CTS

Camaro (that's my '68 Camaro's name... Samantha but I just been calling her Panther for the past three years)

Cool beans bro. You deserve it. I thought that GM-media-bias article was great, looking forward to more.

I think it works with sme brands, like Audi... it's perfect. Benz has always had a weird naming system too. Infiniti has an okay system butd Acura's names are just retarded. I'm not thrilled about Cadillac because they have no tradition of it and their names are so valued in the classis car market place and loved by even currnet customers. Coupe Deville, Eldorado, Fleetwood Brougham d'Elegance... they're fantastic names for luxury cars. Pontiac even more so I DO NOT think should use Alpha-numerics. It's lame. Esp. G6. WTF is that? It doesn't even sound kind of exotic like XLR or M45. G6 is a freeking laptop computer. Christ GM, why kill a nameplate as loved as Grand Am? Now that there's a 4-cylinder version of the G6 I really hate the name.
