As I indicated, I had a hunch they had a trick up their sleeve: killer interior feature. http://www.km77.com/marcas/chrysler/2007/voyager/gra/36.asp You have to give DCX credit, minivan fan or not. c|d

While the outside might be viewed as conservative, it is important to remember all the tricks that might be in store on the inside. c|d

IIRC, the reason GM has such pronounced wheel openings is for tire chains in areas with very inclimate weather: Canada and Alaska among them. c|d

4-Speed auto in your flagship vehicle? Truly pathetic. Lexus will serve their flagship LS460 with an 8-speed auto. Wake up, slumbering giant. c|d

MT lost it when they named the 1991 Chevy Caprice Classic as the Car of the Year.

It won't last beyond 5 years I agree. Because it will be all-new again in 5 years. A moot point as SAB is standard in the Sonata. Something that, say, Malibu cannot claim.

Sorry, can't let this one go by without comment. Have you seen Hyundai's quality? Have you heard about Sonata's crash test results? Have you heard about their warranty? Have you heard about their pricing? All of the above are near or best-in-class. This type of uninformed commentary was probably the same type that some said about Honda and Toyota 30 years ago and Hyundai accelerated faster. Soon China will be here too. GM needs to start building 'no excuse' vehicles. Their vehicles are good but there is always a "but". The 2007 Escalade interior is better "but" look at the door trim panels: 1990 GM design. Not cohesive with the rest of the interior. Corvette: lots of power "but" its a pushrod engine. Not many present day world class sports cars with OHV, are there? STS: nice rig "but" it looks way too much like a CTS. If a consumer is shelling out another $10-30k, I want it to look like it. In short, Hyundai is another car company that is passing GM because I feel that GM has the same view as yours. The emporer has no clothes. c|d

I would argue that there have been plenty of bad GM days. Mid 1970's forward have been pretty bad. It's not like GM has not had time to work out it's issues. They have had over 30 YEARS to mend it's woes.

GM already is a shadow of its former self.

You can't place the sole blame on the UAW. GM needs to build world class vehicles that consumers actually want to buy(without artificial demand). c|d
