The car's development could be referred to as the Manhattan project and a model specific insignia would look like:

Now I get it. We all hae every right to be pessismistic right now, and not just about cars.

I went back 4 months only, but Saturn was the top performing GM brand as measured by the smallest loss of sales on month to month comparison with last year. Lots of differnt metrics to measure success, but still quite impressive.

And if you buy $20 of gas (reasonable amount), then 390/4= 100 MPG

What no inflation?

Would a piercing cause the metal detector at the airport to delay your boarding? Go with the tattoo. I suggest doing it yourself. I can get you a good deal on your own tattoo machine. BTW all those bikers will be surprised to find out that the gays brought tattooing back.

"what it means to me" = executive summary. That should make you feel better.

I would say it's known for its bad quality. Actually it poor reliability and some people say that's not the same thing. Not me, but some people.

Unless there has been some big change Japan requires "the mother of all safety inspections" at three years of age (car; not the driver). The inspection is so stringent (Paint and scratches too!) that few people bother and buy new instead. Fortunately there is a strong export for used Japanese cars.

Personaly I think these cute two word descriptions for a brand are a mistake. Just build a good car at a great price and forget all this branding stuff. Otherwide your American Revolution Chevy will look like this: and your Pontiac wide track performance car will look like this:

I think the first place this arched roof line showed up is the 2003 Saturn ION.

Well Sears was bought by K-mart a long time ago and I doubt that it is necessarily any better. The employee pricing thing is going to be very common in these economic times, We are having some renovations done to our home and a neighbor is getting us "friends and family" pricing on some laminate flooring from a major brand name manufacturer.

I was eating lunch when the quake struck. Ou dog never barked or wimpered. She just kept her eye on my lunch!

Yesterday I saw a white DTS with smoked windows. chromed spoke wheels and possibly a raised ride hight. Looked good.

GM repetedly said that the Oldsmobile dealer netork sucked.

Mid priced cars (Saturn) so its really comparing peaches to peaches. LaCross sales as a percentag eof all buicks is increasing. They start at 17K in the papers. That is definetly Saturn territory (lower end actually).

I couldn't find data for the Grand Prix but the G6 is fleeted more than double the rate of the ION as a matter of fact ION fleet rates are better than mid pack. The outlook is the least desirable of the 3 Lambdas and the transaction prices I see in the paper are the same $24K. I think GM removed the ION at just the wrong time. The dealers feel the same way. Imagine a Chevy or Ford dealer without the Cobalt or Focus sales! Let me add that I am not advocating Pontiac's demise just pointing out that there are some strongly held opinions of Saturn that are not backed up by the data.

Brand new dodge Ram pickups with a lifetime warranty (maybe even with guaranteed $2.99 gasoline) are going for more than 50% off list.

http://www.californiacruisers.com/hood_ovals.htm some pt cruisers and HHRs with portholes. I'm not into this stuff, but it is fun to lookat once in a while.

At 45, I was still in my motorcycle phase. Even though I have Buick lust, I doubt it will happen. We got an extended warranty with the HHR and it may very well outlast me. Speaking of Buicks, there is a last generation Corolla running around my neigborhood with "portholes" and a fart can exhaust.

one gets to a certain age and one lusts after a beige colored Buick more than a Salisbury steak special at 4PM. The voice of experience

I would think that there would be an economic turnaround within that time frame. If Chrysler can last tht long they should be able to go the distance? On the other hand they let my son inlaw(contrct worker) go last month.
