K.C.

I could drive a wagon, especially a performance wagon with AWD.

I find it simply disturbing.

I think a production cut would be the smart thing to do from a profit standpoint. The trucks are the best on the market, and they speak for themselves, but over-saturating the market only decreases the profit margins for the company and the value for the consumer once they trade in their truck.

I succeeded in my resolutions from last year, so here I am again with some more. - Continue the road to a healthy lifestyle through holistic nutrition - Cut fast food eating to once a month - Continue the no soda pop rule - Stand up for myself in a respectful manner

How about a front wheel drive Impala competing with the Toyota Avalon and newly upsized EPA large car sized Honda Accord?

I concur with 'blu on this one. It's a good name, but its on an old tired car that the name just doesn't fit. Unfortunately, the car ruined the name. The G8 should have been called the Grand Prix and the Grand Am name should have stayed on what we know as the G6.

I thought C&D's comparison test was crap. Who takes a car based crossover into mud like that? This test had little validity to me since the vehicles were not used for their intended purpose.

The thing is that "leading" changes with the times, and it appears times are changing, so all that the consumers can do is see what happens and pick cars, trucks, and SUV's that fit their needs and wants. Leading was once big V-8s in cars that did not handle or stop well. Then leading became fuel economy and reliability. Then leading got back to cars that were fast, handled well, and stopped well, and now it appears the second round of the good ol' days of fast cars with big V-8s will be over again. Enthusiasts are such a small group of the car buying public and sales are what generate cars of specific styles and types. I don't think car companies will create volume products for enthusiasts because it will not generate huge sales. The "appliance car people" get most of the focus because most people don't know, or care to know, about cars. That is why Toyota does so well. If most of the car buying public were enthusiasts, then Toyota would probably be about as big as Mitsubishi. I highly doubt that there will be no performance cars. I do think that the performance car will change. It has to change. If it does not, then it will not exist. I can honestly say that I am glad that I am not involved in the auto industry. Now has got to be the most challenging time for all of the automakers employees right now, especially the design engineers and powertrain engineers who must solve the problems of the new CAFE standards while still coming up with innovating, interesting products that people will want to buy.

Great job on the list Bobo. I am disappointed there is no "most annoying newcomer award" here on C&G. I was hoping for that one!

Satty.

Feliz Ano Nuevo al C&Gers!

Congrats Caddycruiser on the new Malibu in the family! Keep us updated on how it is doing and fitting in with you family.

Hmmmm, planning a trip to Borders now. That sounds very interesting. Thanks for the heads up FOG

I didn't. <sigh>

Well, doing that you can't "shoot your eye out".

I think Spiderman was a twink too.

Happy Birthday prototype66. I hope you have a good day.

harebrained? Do you think like a rabbit now? I'll ship a box of home grown carrots to your place when they come into season. Get the truck fixed correctly, then keep it and buy you that Camaro.

Not gonna happen

That pretty much says it all. LOL

Sort of gives new meaning to racings stripes huh? :-O

Damn, that was a hot, hot truck. Just doesn't get any better than that! Thanks for the memories GMTG!

Another piece of the puzzle falls into place. :AH-HA_wink: Personally, the shrinkage in the cold would deter me from the whole idea.
