Anyone buying Test Drive Unlimited?
Much better. I played like TD4 and quickly switched to NFS. Now NFS has the ricer crap, so I'm switching back.The point of TDU this time, is the new MOOR system. I tried it and it works. You really see like hundreds of other racers cruising around the whole city, and you can flash lights at them and start a dogfight. And the physics of the cars are fairly realistic too, of course not to the point where you have to change your oil in GT4. Capriceman pretty much sums up nicely. GT4 and TDU by far are different beasts, as TDU took off in a different path.

He has a big HDTV Plasma in Hong Kong, and that's where his PS2 came from.

Not really, my friend, who's a big fan of GT4, says that GT4 is actually no match for this. It looks better on the screen. And apparently there's a bug with nVidia's driver, so if I turn on AA it will cause problems.

Eh... no. Mine doesn't even have onboard video. nForce 570 Ultra baby! :AH-HA_wink: And I actually have two old hard drives running as well, on an IDE card. Storage actually matches you at 320GB

Grand Ams aren't RWD, so there.

NYIAS: Chevy Trax, Beat and Groove
The Groove should be rounded off a bit to resemble the HHR. As-is it looks likes a xb with the new Malibu front slapped on. The Beat actually reminds me of a Fit. Coincidently Honda does use to have a small car called the Honda Beat. Among the three I like the Trax the most. If they manage to keep these things under, say 1500lbs, they're going to be a blast to drive with a 90-100hp motor, and still get great mileage. PS: Shouldn't this be in the Future Chevys section?

My Aunt's Choices
Now that I re-read this post, something doesn't fit. tC with neons... something only Cory would do. Didn't see it at first. Post pics of the G35!

The Top 10 GM Vehicles Of The Past 25 Years
I just have no idea why the SL2 would make it onto that list. Even the J-bodies has more significance than it, being the GM's best selling car worldwide, despite its junk status. Solstice/Sky should be on the list too, if the Fiero's there. It's one of a kind for GM.

Interesting that you say the Aura's too large. The G35 is around the same size.

Good... now we should start Tight Whips on there.

Anyone buying Test Drive Unlimited?
I really want this. I know this is a bad time for me to buy it, since I'm marching right into my exams. But it's too hard to resist, some the cars: Camaro Z28, Firebird, Saturn Sky, the Goat, and later probably the CTS-V, Cobalt SS and even the Solstice. I can already imagine myself cruising with the top down in a Sky.

Nice try... when there's an Acadia outside the door right now.

Why are you where you are?
Waterloo, because the University of Waterloo is here.

Anyone know if the Aura drives well?
Shouldn't be too bad. The Aura rides on the same mechanicals as the G6, and so far my G6 has done me well, except in high speed conditions, where understeer is evident. The hydraulic steering is pretty heavy though, although it's probably just me used to my electric one. But as a highway cruiser, it's smooooth. The "Ancient old pushrod" serves me well.

What Should the Next G-6 Be? (Poll)
Pontiac does have something the size of a 2001 Civic. It's called a G5 Pursuit.From what I see right now, the G6 should be undergoing the same changes as what the Malibu is right now. It's not really going to downsize, but it's absorbing the crowd that would've gone to the FWD Grand Prix when the G8 hits.

A trip down memory lane
Correction: the SC has an inline-6, not a V6.But it's still lame.
-
What Should the Next G-6 Be? (Poll)
For item 7, I'm pretty sure by the time the next G6 hits, the 4T45s stock should have been exhausted and replaced by 6T70s.

About to purchase a new car, help please :)
Congrats on your new car! Good to see another G6 owner around here.

2008 Pontiac Ordering Guide
Actually, just a thought. Could this be an indication that this generation of the G6 is about to die off and replaced with a new one? Looking at the timeline, when the Malibu came out in MY2004, the G6 followed in MY2005. Now that the Malibu's new for MY2008, could the NG G6 be MY2009? From what I observe, cars slated to die tends to have earlier info release on the guide.

G8 Arrowhead
Put the star back in the smaller arrowhead in the middle, I'd say. Nicer, but probably much more expensive to manufacture.

2008 Pontiac Ordering Guide
The G6 is just getting more pathetic by year. (Distinctive) Options just keeps on going off the list each year. So what next? The whole care gone? Signal it's dying? How can they get rid of the panoramic roof and give it to only the Aura?!
-
What Should the Next G-6 Be? (Poll)
Either EPII or Alpha, both fine by me. As long as they have it around. Front wheel drive can be good too, as long as they fix the catastrophic understeer experienced by the Epsilon cars. The Grand Prix V8 as a living proof that FWD cars can be powerful.
