Let me clarify an earlier comment....a European Lumina without the Lumina's fairly decent reliability.

ski bum

It has vestiges of old Corvette, but the dash shapes are nice. The seats look too sculpted and slim, alienating many mainline Malibu buyers. However, the cloth HAS to be better than what they currently feature.

And Polish Kris will be mad as well. And !!! Ted !!! And any other Poles on the site.

A European Lumina, to be exact. It just didn't have it. It didn't know if it was American or European. I didn't find it to be very inspiring. Others didn't either. I do think Cadillacs have gotten a lot better, though. I think that they are a little chunky in the rear, particularly the CTS, and I don't like the way the lights wrap around. They finally got the front ends and sides right, but the rear ends need more work.

Gee, thanks! :AH-HA_wink:

I have (my company has) this one client who is turning out to be a real ass hole. (I wrote about this once before). Unfortunately, I service his current project. I have never had a client I didn't like before (well, actually there was one). I figured it out. This guy, an exec "of sorts" at a construction company, thinks architects are necessary evils. (I'd like to see him get the degree and then the license). He is obviously some ex-jock who got into construction management - he may have a college education in construction, but, regardless, he is a little too classless. Since he probably lacks the technical skills, he has to use his over-the-top aggressiveness to get you to do what he wants. Today, I almost told him to f*** off. I'm having him kicked into voice mail which angers him more. He thinks that this gets him his way. The reality is that he is put at the back of the queue and nicer clients move to the top of the heap. Have you had $h!ty customers and clients that could have put your job on the line? Do you take it? Do you put them in their place? I am in a situation where I could afford to walk. It wouldn't take long to get a new job and I am sort of tired of the firm and the industry anyway. What have you done?

I think poon-tang is something else? Is that what you had in mind?

Yes, Glacier Blue is clean, subdued, tasteful and easy on the eyes. With limited color choices, it would take the gray interior. With a darker blue interior, it would be the best of the color combos.When it first came out, Rivieraranch said it looked anemic. It has grown on me and it is really nicer than the other colors. The Sapphire is too rich and needs some "smoke" as a shade to make it more subtle...more like the dark blue of the late 90s which wasn't as bicycle like.

1. Yes. Right. Don't they listen? Do they have wax in their ears, up their asses or in their brains? How can the drop such a tasteful combo that Geritols and younger buyers alike would opt for. 2. Thanks for the comment on the sig. And I have Z28luvr to thank for the craftsmanship. I sketched out what I wanted and he turned it into reality! Yep, I used to go to the view point at Los Angeles and watch them reach for the sky ... what a beautiful sight. I don't know why but none of the other planes really turn me on...but this one does.

Right. Every day, I see a LaCrosse approaching frontally and driving down the other side of the road and I don't really like it very much. It's a real miss. They are really not listening since most of us are clamoring for more color and texture. They could have done the center stack as a recessed panel, much like the Intrigue and wrap in the dash material/dash color to accentuate the depression. I think the dark blue interior would sell quite well. But, they are cheap. Look at Monte and Grand Prix - black, tan and gray (not on GP) and with all black dashboards - beyond horrendous. At least the LaCrosse color coordinates the dashboards.

I just looked up currency rates. Our dollar buys $ 1.10 worth of Canadian dollars. That is unbelievably bad, relatively speaking. When you throw on their taxes, you are right about 1:1. That's horrible. There is no reason to go vacation in Canada right now. Obviously, it's a field day for them coming down into the States to vacation. I remember that, living in Seattle from 1997 through 2000, the US:Canada ratio went to 1.00 : 1.52 once. Crossing the border to vacation or buy things was like stealing...or felt like it!

Little $h! :AH-HA_wink:
