Spied: '09 Hummer H3T
I've seen it around in person, its a serious grafting job and most likely won't look like that if and when it comes to production.

2008 VUE pricing
There has been a few on the roads here in Michigan, and they look alot better in person. I wasn't sold on it at the Detroit show..yet. It probably had something to do with the easter egg blue color. But I've seen a few other colors on it and they look quite nice. The tailights still scream generic Japanese to me though.

Toyota Tops GM in 1Q Global Auto Sales
Who cares about the numbers, I don't. I forsee Toyota spinning out of control, there are already signs of this. They are concerned about their defects already, engine problems, the Tundra isn't setting the world on fire like they said it would either. And of course the Unions want in on Toyota. They are going to find out real fast that being #1 has more problems than they think. I mean once you get so big so fast its hard to maintain this "image" of being the "best" as everyone says they are. GM found out the hard way about being the biggest, but maybe Toyota will have lessons learned from this. But GM has some of their best products coming out and other ones on the burner so I feel they are poised to be moving on the up and up, and these products are in the car market right where they need them.

BMW CLS fighter
It has some design details that reminds me too much of a current Aston Martin.

HUMMER plans 'till 2011
You should have enough common sense going in on buying a Hummer that it is not going to set mpg records! People that buy them use for commuting yes, but for other outdoor related activities as well. Its not supposed to compete with a Toyota Prius. If and when the H4 comes out or the diesel option, or hybrid for that matter, then there should be an improvement in mpg figures.

HUMMER plans 'till 2011
Nevermind, they are Holdens. I found them on their website, they are rated at 157kw or 210hp. http://www.holden.com.au/www-holden/action...ew?modelid=9006

HUMMER plans 'till 2011
Agreed! Are the Rodeos Holdens?

HUMMER plans 'till 2011
Which diesel engine? Get rid of the AWD in the Hummers and fuel consumption would skyrocket. I personally would rather have the option of when to use the system of the vehicle, but then again some people don't know how to use these options or want it chosen for them so they don't have to think. They better not make the H4 soft, I'm depending on this new vehicle to change my mind about getting a Jeep Wrangler. I'm going to have to pool my resources and found out whats really going on.

GM pulls ads from Imus show
What Imus did was wrong I admit that, but to have Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton as the spokes people against him is a double standard in itself. Jesse has no room to talk after having an illegitimate child with another woman and then bringing that woman with him to the White House! Al Sharpton has been in too many scandals to count also. These guys aren't fixing race relations at all, they are only stirring up the pot and dividing people more!! I never liked Imus, so oh well it was time for him to retire anyway.

Just Say No to Kirk
Oh man, no way should Kirk be given any more power. His ego is already at maximum capacity. Send him back out on the Hale Bop comet to lay to rest once and for all.

SHANGHAI: 2008 Buick Park Avenue (China)
So why do we keep getting hand me downs here in the U.S. exactly? Oh thats right the Chinese are so much more discerning when it comes to the details...LOL!, B.S. I say!! I don't mind the Lucerne thats currently out, the Lacrosse...eh not the best to me. But when you see a car like this that GM can execute so well it kind of makes you wonder what their marketing strategy is for us.

Bob Lutz Explains Why The Pontiac GTO Failed
I wonder how much they will knock off the msrp on a new one? I went to autotrader and found some new ones on the lot in my area, but when I went to dealership site they were completly different cars from what they listed.

Bob Lutz Explains Why The Pontiac GTO Failed
I drove a GTO not too long ago. I was at a Pontiac-GMC dealership and a guy drove in with his and we started talking. He said for me to go take his car for a spin. I was like thats ok, I don't know you, and you don't know me and he insisted. So I took it out. It was an 06 with the 6sp and it had the factory bodykit on it. I was one who thought that the styling was a little polarizing, but after driving it I was like holy sh!t!! this car is awesome!! Do they still have 2006s on the lots, because I would like to get one?

Everyone's talking Lambdas and T900s...
You are correct :AH-HA_wink:

Everyone's talking Lambdas and T900s...
I am curious to see what 08 has in store. I like the Canyon in particular better than the Colorado, and much to everyones dismay I do like the 5 cylinder. I've experinced firsthand that these engines are pretty damn durable, they just need even more oomph. But the upcoming engines will take care of that. Now as far as the interior/exterior that remains to be seen. But the way GM is going with their whirlwind upgrades to their interiors these days I can only imagine it will be good.

2008 Jeep Liberty
It went from disgusting, to lets just keep it disgusting. The Liberty is a pretty pointless Jeep and always has been, but they seem to sell alot of them. They've jumped on the fender vent wagon too, oh will it ever end. Pretty soon the most economical cars in everyones lineup will have them in the future.

These engines should silence some critics and will make a nice improvement to a good truck.
