That front looks just like a Skoda!!

Well, it's still funny, even though my name is Steven. Why wouldn't it be... unless you thought it was directed at you? I'm not married, or going steady, so I would just find it to be a bit strange!!

Ah, gotcha. I asked because at the NAIAS 2006, the Sonata I sat in seemed very nice.

Dude! Isn't that commerical the best!! And, it's so complete with that dingy song in the background.

Me too! I've let my friends drive my car, and I ride in the back of my Breeze. I can't believe how big it feels back there! It's really amazing considering the exterior dimensions of the car. These cars had styling that was spot-on to me. If only they had higher reliability (automatic, headgasket in 2.0L, A/C issues, etc) and much less NVH with more soft interior bits, and more POWER!

Children! Don't make me come in there! Oh, it's all good. I do this too. How about this... based on appearances alone, Lucerne vs. Avalon is a no brainer. Lucerne wins! Some new opinion to chew on, eh?

I don't know myself But, this is awesome. If I'm lucky enough, I'll catch a glimpse of the Grand Am Cobalt on Speed Network during the race. It's so cool.

Intersting, to say the least. Looks like Chrysler needs more great, better looking cars, not great "bad" looking cars.

HA! I was right! It is the Swift enlarged and on walking-stick legs. Want some pancakes with that? They really should bring the Swift over. It seems to be a decent little car, and I like its styling, and The european mags seem to appreciate it.

I heard about this little stinker. I figured it would be redesigned, but this does look good. I'm frankly rather speechless as opposed to normal. Is that a collective sigh of relief I hear?

And all of God's people said, "Amen".

You made me laugh on the inside!

Ugh, never. GM is doing fresh, exciting stuff, and Ford is, well, treading water. Barely sustained by the Mustang, F150, and possibly Explorer.

Hey! I take exception to "total crap"!!! Sure, Chrysler had some quality issues in the early `90's- mainly concerning trransmissions, headgaskets, and a/c systems, but no one is perfect. Chrysler had guts to really turn styling around with its cab-forward architecture, and this revolutionary design set a trend that is continuing today in automakers such as Honda with their "radical" new Civic. What I really love is that the Neon caught most with their pants down in the U.S. Its 132hp/132lb-ft engine was snappy with the 5-speed. No Civic EX could touch it. Even if the 3-speed automatic in the Neons was antiquated, it sure was a hell of lot more reliable than the atrocious Ultradrive transmission Chrysler foisted upon us. What hath Chrysler wrought?.. Quite a bit, actually

Darn, the end of the Chrysler engines in the Mini, and the beginning of the joint-venture BMW/PSA units. Ah, but the world and technology moves on.

Actually, from those views in that colour, it looks much better. The rear seems almost a tad Euro, but isn't that what Chrysler (or Stutgartt) now want anymore? And, take away the trunk lamps, and the taillamps scream Kia Rio. And, anyone that Paris Hilton is "hot" needs occular surgery.

Let's see, for me, because I am young (and due to budget) my arrangement (all used) would be: Buick > Chrysler > Chevrolet > Plymouth What's next? Who knows...

Ahh, nothing like great news after a pissy day at work, what with making McD cash cows... sorry, customers, fatter than ever.

If GM didn't drop 3800, then here is my amusement: Forever! GM will probably add two more valves per cylinder, with variable valve timing and Active Fuel Management to further improve "drivability" to result in the first 3.8L 24V VVT OHV AFM V6 . Hehe. But, for Buick, I feel they should use the 2.8 for the base engine in the LaCrosse/Allure and the 3.6 for the base in the Lucerne. Just add 6-speed auomatic, and voila, updated!

Rather than Audi, it's Mercedes-Benz I'm bored with.

Sorry, I have to do this to humour myself... Collectively?? How many of you are there?!?!

Doubt it, but it's a decent idea, concieved in hope. Not my fault I can't control what people do yet. Some people would like good, simple transportation without all the fluff and gimmicks. And, you don't want to know what the first image of "Aunt Gemima" was when the Yahoo!'s search images were displayed. Ugh!

I guess it's one of those things you'd have to get used to then? It just seemed strange at first blush to me. Almost like there was no thigh support, and that I was sitting on the floorboards. But, those Recaros in the SS Supercharged/Redline models, now those were great! And, that laser blue sure is a hot colour. Now, just give me a dark, rich forest green colour. Or that awesome blue/green changing paint of the Grand Prix! Oh, and... the current Elantra's seats are terrible to me too. Finally, I feel that a great improvement to the Cobalt would be taking the trim piece of the upper door panels on higher models (LT and up) and using that to line the entire interior. This material feels solid yet soft, with a pleasant "rubbery" feeling quality. Take that and put it on the upper and lower dash, and the console, and the rest of the interior, and that would feel much better!

The Chrysler having less content/higher price compared to the Dodge is just like VW/Audi. You pay more for an Audi, but price vs. price, that Vee-Dub will generally have more content than the Audi. I'd take a 300. I don't find it overrated. Would you rather have a "horrible" front-drive LH with *whispers- sometimes gorgeous* melted plastic styling instead?
