STS-V interior?
what is up with that stuff around the HVAC its like black and white... but its ugly... well at least from what i can tell on their website... goto cadillac http://www.cadillac.com/cadillacjsp/model/....jsp?model=stsv and look at the interior gallery... wow, i dont know what that stuff is... perhaps it just looks better in person

Chevrolet.com Updated
personally i'm not a huge fan of the new avalanche, it looks great, but it doesnt resemble an avalanche to me... to me an avalanche is rugged... this is too elegant... if thats even possible to be too elegant

My Letter To Mark Phelan
good read... gave me a few goose bumps here and there... well written and it came from the heart, you have had a rough couple of years it seems, but as you and I both hope, that GM's future looks as bright as a newborn baby. Take pride in yourself, take pride in your work, and take pride in GM. I could see those 3 lines on a car flag, hanging outside of my car...

Bob Lutz says 100,000 Camaros.

BRAND NEW 04 SSR Found on a Dealer Lot!
the sad thing is... those dealerships get charged for every day after 100 days that that vehicle is on the lot... the banks dont find it very funny to keep their dollar extended like that...

Honda using Chevys to sell cars?
yea over at my honda dealer i always see an H2 or a Mustang GT out front... and they always sell withing a few days... but its typical... like for our dealership we put the nicest vehicle we have... maybe a corvette... right now we got a dropped astro van with some rims

GM to end H1 Production
i agree... the H2... well it must be 2nd to something, without the H1, or something in its place... Hummer really isnt what its cracked up to be... its like taking the corvette away from Chevy... or taking the art & science away from cadillac... when you do that you dont have a brand image any more...

Saw my first 2007 Suburban today...
we've got about 20 in stock now... and about 15 avalanches...but i really like the tahoe better... the suburban just seems kinda bloated, looks like it is trying to compete with the excursion... the avalanche, looks too clean cut... its supposed to be a rugged car, let the cadillac be clean, and let the chevy be 'off road ready'... not, 'just got out of a confrence'

Whats Your Nationality?
I wonder why people pick german... are people proud of that heritage? I mean, my father is 1/2 german 1/2 hispanic, and my mom is a eruo mutt... but i always say i'm german... because thats what i look like... heck people even ask me if i'm from europe... but... anyone i know says they are german if they can find some roots back to germany somewhere in their family tree...

Cadillac Renaissance: Miracle or Mirage?
cadillac is volume based... and so far Cadillac sells the most Luxuary cars in america... (Luxuary cars being defined at vehicles sold at over 42k$) but what is important to have a Mercedies benz, for half the price with twice the reliablity... and Cadillac will succeed. but a new engine is needed... next generation cadillacs need a new v8 with over 400hp, and a v12 to throw in the mix.... we cant let the SL65 take the competition with its 604 hp... twin turboed v12... The most powerful production SL model from Mercedes-Benz, the SL65 offers a 604-horsepower twin-turbocharged V-12 and every AMG race-engineered component available. EngineAMG-built twin-turbocharged 6.0L SOHC 36-valve V-12 engine Net Power604 hp @ 4,800 rpm Net Torque738 lb-ft @ 2,000 - 4,000 rpm

TCC: Faceoff: Lexus IS350 Vs. BMW 330i
the other day i asked my co worker which vehicle he liked better, his 330 or his GS? not quite sure what the number is on the GS... but he kinda thought about it, and said, well the lexus is really smooth, but i like driving the BMW better... his lease is up in a month or two, and he says hes probably going to get the 5series bmw... instead of another lexus
