This move will not only aid Detroit automakers, but also other auto companies with plants in the US. This is good news for the US Big 2, DCX, and the Japanese Big 3. And Hyundai, Kia, and BMW. I think that covers everyone.

SubLime: Good. Plum Crazy: Never, please.

Okay, so they'd like a merger. But with who? Would they be able to merge internationally with the CAW? Has a union ever done that before? Can a union do that? They really need to try to get union control of the foreign owned plants. That will... Actually, that would probably just force more jobs out of the country.

As I said in the Equinox Sport thread, they can also take this opportunity to fix the badging on the Cobalt SS and Cobalt Supercharged SS. A bit SS happy, don't you think?

Agreed. Make the spokes silver. And maybe wrap the wheel in leather. Y'all know this interior is in response to all the people who have complained in the past - on this board and elsewhere - that no one does color keyed interiors anymore, riiiight?Careful what you wish for. :AH-HA_wink:

About the only beneficial thing this would do is spread our security standards to both countries and eliminate our huge northern and southern borders.

GM now leads another segment! So, how many of those 34,234 combined buyers do you think read all the auto rag reviews... Or even care?

Looks like inspiration for the Roadmaster.

Is that the inspiration for Dot Matrix?

Bad drivers tend to own... Honda? Toyota? VW?

Actually, the type of drivers that scare me the most are the midnight motorcycle racers. On Long Island parkways, the drive literally top speed in droves of 7 or 8. Top speed being at least 150 mph. -

Justice has been served. Hopefully she hasn't hit any innocent bystanders on the way to the jailhouse.

Blue... Now THAT is interesting...

Naturally the concerns focus on reliability. These guys don't realize how long GM has come in terms of vehicle reliability.

Well... Yeah, that's pretty much what NHTSA is going for. If someone has the time to read this, go nuts.http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/standards/

I'd sing the birthday song, but I will probably be sued. Happy Birthday anyway.

Doh! Post it on YouTube or something.

Introducing "Sport" to Chevrolet naming convention can very easily clean up the naming of the Cobalts. SS -> Sport Supercharged SS -> SS

Granted, that's pretty bad. I meant that egging "the house of the bully you hated" at least has some minute level of justification to it, rather than using the eggs for the purpose of bullying.

Well, the key factors are right here: So it's a good thing. Except for the whole "timeless" design thing, which is basically just another way of saying this car is boring looking.

GM introduces vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) system
aaaantoine replied to SoCalCTS's topic in General Motors
A visual warning, like a flashing speedometer, could do wonders if your speed creeps more than 10 mph above the posted speed limit. Sometimes I get so hellbent on passing someone on the highway that I look down and suddenly notice I'm doing 80 in a 65. -
On Long Island (and likely everywhere else), the hooligans would just egg, TP, and spray shaving cream on Halloween night, rather than the night before. And they don't pick any target in particular, either. By comparison, Devil's Night sounds rather mundane.

GM introduces vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) system
aaaantoine replied to SoCalCTS's topic in General Motors
I sincerely doubt that any mechanism would be put into place that would actually control the movements of the vehicle remotely. At least not for many decades. Though PurdueGuy's idea of in car road sign display is pretty nifty and could be useful. Although, the only signs that necessarily need to be broadcasted directly into the car are Speed Limit, Construction Zones, current street/direction (i.e. I95 North), and Next Exit. Everything else would proably be clutter. -
...Nebraska. :shrug:
