    I really like this one. It should be adopted everywhere.

    There's a big difference between "fans" and "yes-men." Of course, knowing you, you're gonna start an argument over this. :rolleyes: BTW the Asian cheerleader rocks.

    No you aren't. You were very objective in your post.

    ooooo a manual SUV...that would be hot
  5. Just noticed: Yukon gets more interior wood. Center console, Tahoe just has a plastic bin.
  6. I dig the dressed up interior. Love the guage cluster
  7. I like it!

    I agree with the first few posts of this thread before it all degenerated by the Cheerleaders.

    There are numerous quotes from the Founding Fathers that make it very clear they want nothing to do with the mixing of religion and government. I'll find these and post them here... "In God We Trust" was added to currency in the 1950s, same time "under God" was added to the pledge. All men are created equally, through sex. Rocks are created by plate tectonics, so the word created does not necessarily mean a creator. Here is a link that is just chock full of them. Remember, these are the opinions and quotations from the Founding Fathers, who wrote the separation clause: http://altreligion.about.com/library/weekly/aa070202a.htm

    Maybe it's just lighting, but I don't think the sides of the Tahoe and Yukon are the same. But even if they were, these are still more differentiated than the GMT-800s

    At this point, I like the non-Denali version better. At this point I just need more pictures, and I wanna see an interior and rear shot as well. I don't really think it looks that much like an Escalade, more of a supersized Envoy.

    I kinda like it...reminds me of recent GMC concept pix.

    Your post is so far off base it isn't even funny. I AM a Christian, but what part of "secular nation" eludes you? No one has to say the Pledge (except public school children in some states as a result of 9/11), and I do omit the "God" from my recitation of it because I do not believe it is right. Just because there's a Christian majority doesn't mean we have the right to step on Hindus, Athiests, Buddhists, and other religions that are not part of the Judaism-Christianity-Islam trio. Why would I be offended of Allah or Moses (BTW Moses is part of Christianity, too, in case you forgot)? I would be offended if the Pledge said "one nation, under Allah" because I am not Islamic, and therefore would feel excluded in a way from the nation. The Pledge is about unity. How can one unify when one set of beliefs is clearly favored over another? This "small group of people trying to impose their will on the majority" is just fighting back for the majority unconstitutionally imposing its will on everyone back in the 1950s; it's righting a wrong. BTW you are wrong regarding the nativity scenes; cities can display them as long as they provide an "open forum" for all religious displays. Most cities just stopped with the nativity scenes when the Wiccans started showing up due to prejudice there. As far as Xmas trees in college dorms...well they are a big fire hazard so no issue there from me! I'm sure a student could erect one in his room if it were not a fire hazard, but what is most likely frowned upon is erecting one in a public area. Seeing as Winter Recess typically lasts a month (give or take a week) "Christmas Vacation" is a misnomer anyway. Why not New Year Vacation? or Holiday Vacation? Seeing as we already have Summer Recess, Fall Recess and Spring Recess, Winter Recess just fits in with the others. Honestly, you're free to call it whatever the hell you want to call it, but anything publicly-funded must stick with the secular term. Please, don't argue with me and use a bunch of useless emotionally-based rhetoric because I will rip it to shreds. Use facts. They are a lot more effective.

    Just call a Riverside hooker then...easy to get around!

    All I know is that this "baseball" you talk about is making me wait until November for new episodes of The OC and, more importantly, Reunion!
  17. Where's the "none of the above"?
  18. Hey, I'm not criticizing Josh in this one...I'm kinda with him in a way. BV just argues until you finally tell him he's right...and it gets old. I'm not gonna sit here and lie through my teeth about how amazing Pontiac is, and what a jewel they are for GM...because they're not at all by any stretch of the imagination, except in Canada. Not all brands have to be in both countries, anyway.
  19. Argue, argue, argue...all you do is argue...it gets irksome.
  20. BV, basically he's telling you to grow up. It's something you need to think about doing any day now, and sooner rather than later. The fact that you won't shut up when you have been asked nicely is proof of your immaturity.

    I read the review, and like most Canadian reviews, I wondered how this was a useful review. Is it just that whole politeness religion in Canada, or what? Canadian reviews rarely find fault with anything. I cannot wait to read a balanced review from a US publication. This reviewer lost all credibility when he gushed over the Allure's interior refinement. I'm sorry, but I really just need an objective, balanced review. I really like Lucerne, but I do not want to get false hopes up reading sugarcoated reviews. I really hope this is an exceptionally competent vehicle because it seems like a great machine, styling-wise as well as value content. EDIT: I see why this review reads like a press release. The reviewer never touched the car. Never spent time with it. The key phrase was (when gushing over Allure's interior) "and the Lucerne will no doubt continue the trend." Obviously this guy has never set foot inside the car. USELESS!

    ...or a 1979-1983 Malibu...
  23. I have to say I'm glad GM has stuck with Malibu. After the horrendously bland 1997-2003 Camry wannabe, the current Malibu is good, and from what I've heard, I'd agree with you that the next one will be great!

    You might wanna stop laughing about it and start working on whatever you need to work on so you don't drive so shitty in the morning...Seriously, there are enough crazies out on the road, you don't need to add to that number.

    Wow you're a dangerous driver!
