  1. That's surprising; I read before that the G8 has some minor interior build quality problems.

    It does. The interior has nowhere near the solidity and quality of build that an Audi has.

    In the centre console area, there were some trim pieces that I noticed that were disturbingly loose.

  2. Reading articles about food rarely make me want to vomit. This one did.

    I'm with you on this. Yuck. Way too much everything.

    Speaking of bacon though, I love it and Jim Gaffigan has a great bit about bacon!

  3. I consider it justified anger because usually it concerns people I call "left lane parkers" that don't get out of the way for faster traffic like me on the Interstate, people that don't use their blinkers, don't use their mirrors, or pull out in front of you and proceed to go ten under your (legal) speed, and also the people in this God forsaken town I live in to drive ten miles per hour or more UNDER the posted speed limit.

    Do you know how frustrating it is two have two people going 25 or 30 mph in both lanes simultaneoulsy in front of you when it's supposed to be 45?!

  4. And, also, in regards to me voting "Other" concerning Hyundai, it's because they offer the one car Pontiac definitely should... but doesn't, so I was looking at it from my point of view of brand and product offered.

    And that the closest product Pontiac has offered that I like, the GTO, was a Commodore coupe and when new (and would still be) out of my price range, whereas the Hyundai Genesis Coupe is tangibly within grasp.

  5. Cool, thanks for posting.

    On a side note...I wonder why Allpar's photos always look so $h!ty.

    Good question. I'm not sure.

    I posted it for the sake of more information regarding the product in its home forum.

  6. I have voted "other" because although I love the feel of VW's, and would have chosen VW/Audi, Hyundai would probably be my other choice because of greater reliability, greatly improved and acceptable quality, and of course products like the Genesis Coupe.

    Pontiac has always been irrelevant to me and has NEVER really offered anything that comes close to what I'd be interested in.

  7. Volkswagen totally doesn't get the U.S. market at all I suppose, but then, some other manufacturers don't seem to either.

    I'd pass on the current Scirocco myself because all it looks like is a squished Golf VI anyhow.

  8. yeah and it's also several thousand cheaper. and the fwd based crossovers are much more popular with the market. i don't see the GC getting 30mpg rating on the highway. urban legend about GC's is that they rarely exceed mid teens in fuel economy.

    Pfft! My mother has an I-6 Trail Blazer that has an average fuel economy of 11 mpg in town over the course of its life since 2003.

    Real SUV's and trucks suck with mileage unless they're a diesel, and even then, these jacked up station wagons still WON'T get 30mpg in real life. Aerodynamics and weight play a big role.

    Besides, the Grand Cherokee is a far more attractive and desirable vehicle than the Terrain (at least to me).
