  1. Which would truly be nice. But we'll have to wait and see!
  2. Hey all- thanks for moving this for me. Sometimes I'm in a hurry. I am tired of waiting too. If Saturn is to be transformed, it should have either waited for the new Opel products and allowed all of this cash flow to be put into Buick/Pontiac (even SAAB) first, and then change Saturn, maybe we wouldn't be stuck with second-rate as opposed to what everyone else gets. Because, if GM "promised" that these new Saturns will only differ in "minor detail" compared to Opels, why aren't/don't they? A 3.5L OHV V6 is not a "minor difference" compared to the powertrain options available in the Vectra, nor is a four-speed automatic coupled with this engine. I admit that the 3.6L is available with the new 6-speed, but that is NOT the point here. Some Vectra selections? 1.8 I4/2.2 I4/3.2L V6 ECOTEC, and the diesels in addition to the new 2.8L TURBO V6. Sorry, I give Saturn one more product cycle. If GM's claims do not measure up, I will hold my breath for them no more.
  3. That's terrible! The Lucerne is the first Buick in approximately 20 years that I would want as my own car!
  4. Exactly. Certain aspects of new Mercedes-Benzes remind me more of Korea than anything Chrysler.
  5. If GM offered it in a hunter green (like the Sky's) then I would really like the Cobalt. I have driven them, and though "aspire" is a strong word, I would appreciate the ownership of one. I aspire more for an Alfa Romeo 159/Brera, or a Saturn Astra GTC!
  6. I am not a Toyota fan. Of all the cars in its empire, I might consider the GS series, regardless of electronic overkill.
  7. Give GM time. The Lucerne was the intro step in the right direction for Buick (understated, elegant, and luxurious). The Enclave is the first real move in remaking Buick. Idon't care for the styling of the Enclave, but...that Interior...mmm...so awesome.
  8. I really like the colour. Dark green is my favourite. You know, I wonder if there's a relatively affordable way to reduce road noise in our cars. I know that in my Breeze it's sometimes infuriating to listen to.
  9. But... I've noticed that on some cloud cars the HVAC vents in the dash are universally black (agate in Chrysler-speak) regardless of the interior being Mist Gray, Silver Fern, Agate, or Camel. It looks like the cheap way out. Hmm, I wonder why some of the dashes have all hard plastic, and some are rubberized? Umm Raven... I've encountered a 2000 Stratus SE with the 2.0L engine and 4-speed automatic. And, my `96 car has all of that power stuff. It depended on which package the car was ordered with. However, the extra sound insulation does sound inviting. But I wouldn't want a circa-2000 model- the rearview exterior mirrors are no longer heated. (And, on ES/LXi models had their speed-sensitive power steering deleted.
  10. Other. Invicta sounds painful, accusing, and unpleasant. I would with Electra, Lausanne, or possibly Lucerne
  11. I'd take the GTi. It's got European refinement (regardless of reliability) and comes free of a ghastly interior unlike the Civic.
  12. It was not the Mitsubishi V6. It was Chrysler's own 3.5L. You know- 214 "asthmatic" horsepower in the old version, 250 in the new one.
  13. I would take one. I just hope that Chrysler does end up making a coupe and/or sedan on this platform- more choice, more possible customers.
  14. It's only logical . (That there would be an OPC version)
  15. It better not get the same treatment. The "new" 9-5 is hideous, and its interior bears the Scarlet A that is the GM corporate stereo faceplate.
  16. Gotta be the Camaro. Especially a V6 version. I can just see the mullets (how's that spelled anyway) now!
  17. Even if it doesn't happen yet, Toyota's decline is inevitable. Nothing can stay at the top forever (supposing it can even get there). Everything like this goes in a cycle.
  18. Congrats on a hot ride!
  19. Oh, and I contacted Audi of America a while back, and Audi is not considering the new TDI engines for the Q's only.
  20. I can't wait for the new diesels in the Golfs, Jettas, (and hopefully) Passats, and Toureg (again.
  21. Ahh, a shrunken Azera with a much better interior!
  22. I thought that this was a platform-mate of the Sonata just like the all-new Rio/Accent.
  23. I feel that the Versa is well styled. And, I like it because it reminds me a bit of current Renaults.
  24. ...not only, but it's also uugly!
  25. Mmm-hmm. Would believe it regarding the boring people and Camrys. You know, most of the people I've noticed driving Breezes aren't run-of-the-mill types. One girl that comes to where I work has one the same colour as mine, and she has one funky and funky-colored hair-do!
