2001 Chevrolet Astro Cargo Vans
we have had a 91 gmc equivilent, still do... the biggest problem we've had with it recently are front axle parts... but it's also AWD, so you should have less to worry about. i think it has ~190K miles on it or so...

Industry News: Google: Who Wants To Partner With Us On Self-Driving Vehicles?
SAmadei, totally agree. when you have to swipe a license and have your id confirmed, to start and drive a car, mandated, then it will become a privilege, and not a right...but only by law.

Industry News: Google: Who Wants To Partner With Us On Self-Driving Vehicles?
while you have some good forward thinking points SAmadei.... i read a short article about how the car has cleaned up the environment... basically removing all the manure horses would leave in public and around your own property that create messes to clean up after when wet, and dust when dry......it may not be cleaner, but it's more sterile... one kind of pollution for another,... sorta. licensing is generally good for something like driving, but lots of the specifics are pretty terrible. like speed limits... when weather isn't bad and not much traffic. pretty ridiculous. along with stop lights when visibility of surrounding area is good, just turn them to yield until traffic picks up....

"The setup can provide 15 miles of range on the electric power alone, engine power alone, or a combination of the two to drive the rear wheels." this needs some grammar remix on it. interesting otherwise.

Honda News: Rumorpile: Honda/Acura To Use A 9-Speed Automatic
could take that long to ramp up production and testing/tuning may still be needed (building the cars to accept it too). how long did it take gm to get it's 6speeds in more than the corvette? i'm thinking at least 1 full year...?

Industry News: Amidst Falling Sales, Republicans Turn Chevrolet Volt Into Political Scapegoat
because... if nationalism in the "american made" nature isn't religion...obviously the opposite is! /sarcasm. if it's a better product, no matter where it's made, if it can compete, should stand by itself in the market place...untill something better comes along. look at the early history of the mustang for an example of this.

Cheers or Jeers: 158 Mile 2004 Chevrolet SSR
this is awesome the same way the retro thunderbird is awesome.... you'd love to have one to cruise in, but there were lots of compromises in the vehicle overall, the thunderbird didn't live long enough to see the 5.0L and a 6speed.... this one did get the 6.0L and 6speed option. if they made them now, they could be truely great/fun vehicles... they just were made ....5-10 years to early.
