  1. I like the looks, 10% market share easy mostly at the expense of Titan and Ram. DCX is going to be having a tough time dealing w/the new LS460, Landcrusier and Tundra.

    complaints, not much to complain about, it's just a ordinary looking truck, with a generic GM interior. Unlike the previous GMC trucks, this one has little personality.

    purple truck, and what's with the yellow interior. GMC is officially sissy.

    The reasoning was the IS350 would serve as the launch the 3.5L V6. The LS460 the 4.6L V8 and 8spd. GS introduced L-finesse styling and new paint finish.

    the reason the RDX is a 4banger is Honda didn't wants lose MDX buyers. Very difficult to sell the two w/o cannabilizing sales.
  7. The American public love them. I doubt Fit and Versa would be here if not for Scion's success.

    hopefully this technology becomes adopted on big rigs.

    what dealer charges $50 for an oil change? I pay $20-25 for mine, never seen a dealer charge $50 unless for synthetic. And 30,000mi service is approx ~$200 if you it done.

    The interior looks nice, but that mostly came from BMW.

    to be fair I'd have to compare a Tundra w/automatic climate controls

    What's so great about this layout? If anything I'd rather have knobs.

    The 07 IS has a VDIM disable switch, as does the 07 GS350, and LS460.

    True, but I did have plenty of time w/the Accord. It doesn'take long to appreciate the quietness of the Camry compared to the constant road noise of the Accord. Or the vastly superior JBL audio. The Camry feels much more secure at high speeds than the Accord I found visibility better (ignoring the Camry's smaller sideviews). I also much prefered the warmth of the Camry's interior compared to the sinister looking all black in the Accord. The Camry's ride is smooth, the Accord's isn't. The Accord's tiny hard buttons are not egronomic, while the Camry's large dials/buttons are. The problem w/the Accord is it drives nearly identical to the 98-02 model. There is plenty of room for improvement and for Honda's sake the new 08 Accord better be a vastly superior product compared to the existing one.

    Don't believe everything you read. The Camry I drove was at the dealer, it had no transmission issues or rattles. I didn't pay close attention to the fit-and-finish. I came away impressed.

    The GS350 just went on sale, that should make the car much more competitive. IS will take a hit once the new G25/G35 hit the streets. SC doesn't matter. LS460 will be selling at around 30k+ units next yr. RX350 will take a hit when the MDX comes out. I bet any overall losses will still be countered by the new LS460.

    looks like Acura has a homerun on its hands. Should help offset the RL's failings.
