2008 Malibu at the Georgian College Autoshow
I had the same impression when I checked it out on the weekend too. Just another Aura. I'm sick of the same old steering wheel, sick of the standard radio/hvac controls, below average plastics, and the bland colour scheme didn't help much. It was a preproduction LS model with a 3.5L engine. The other thing that stuck out in my mind was "damn these rear doors are huge!".

I'm sorry but how could anyone associate Pearl Harbour with Korea?!? Wow, just wow.

BMW 135i Cabriolet
I find a person who drives an Aztec stereotyping people based on the car they drive hilarious and pathetic sounding at the same time. RE: the 1 series, bring it on and bring it at the right price, looking forward to it.

Updated Pontiac G8 page
$h!, have to get full leather interior to get a leather wrapped wheel and shift knob from the looks of it. No car in the price range this will be in should go without a leather steering wheel.

Automakers slapped with $2B lawsuit
Good luck buying a new Lexus from the US. Dealers have been instructed not to sell to people who don't have a US address. This is the big difference between importing cars and other consumer goods. At the very least hopefully this lawsuit keeps more manufacturers from doing the same (Toyota/Lexus are not the only ones). There is a lot of discussion about importing on the forums of redflagdeals.com. GM vehicles can be imported but they will not honour the warranty for the first 6 months. How does a new Corvette for $45K Canadian sound? Its been reported that Canadian dealers have also been instructed not to honour aftermarket warranties of imported vehicles as well.

2008 Saturn Astra Drive - Edmunds
Much easier to identify something like thermostat issues earlier with a gauge.

2008 Saturn Astra Drive - Edmunds
Fair review. Its no best in class world beater but people will buy it because it looks good and is decently priced. XR buyers will have to buy winter rims/tires if they live where it snows apparently. 1 cupholder/no armrest would be a pain in the ass. I would like to know how it drives compared to the Mazda 3 and 2008 American Focus.

My 2008 Accord Impressions
There is somewhat a resemblence to the 5 series in the side profile in pictures... But better to aim upmarket then resemble a Stratus like the Aura?

Edmunds drives '09 Honda Fit
LOL I resemble that remark except I don't use the word soda.

New Fit Photos
I doubt many people cross shop the Aveo and Fit unless they don't know the Fit is a class above in all but size. Is there a cheaper car than the Aveo?

The American Dollar is in the toilet....
Its legal, a bit of paperwork but nothing very difficult. As long as the car is on the RIV list of allowed vehicles. Many manufacturers won't honour the warranty though.http://www.riv.ca/english/html/how_to_import.html

I'll be importing my next vehicle from the US if I can save 20%.

Heroes
Dania Ramirez looked good, looking forward to seeing Kristen Bell and Ali Larter. The episode was a little slow but I'm sure it will pick up just like the last season did.

How do you guys do it?
I have a cup or two a day.. A Timmies in the morning when I want to feel like a lemming in the drive thru line up. I know some people who are very sensitive to caffeine and get really wired from one cup. I think an average cup has about 3x the amount of caffeine as a pop. The cold "ice cap" type stuff must be loaded with sugar too so that could have something to do with it. I tried it once and it was way too sweet for me.

Shhhh! They're not supposed to know that!

Preproduction G8 spotted in dealership in Cambridge?
I'm hoping there will be one at the Georgian college auto show up in Barrie next weekend.

I *heart* NY
Definitely a fun city to run around for 3-4 days every 3 years or so.

My 2008 Accord Impressions
The rear wheel arch of the current Passat seems so much smaller than the front from some angles, its a real disappointment to me and the car look average at best. The 2001.5 redesign is a very handsome car.

ALTIMA COUPE vs ACCORD COUPE 08
Not a huge fan of either's looks but to me the Altima is a bit too much wannabe G35 and well equipped gets pretty up there in price. The TV ads up here show one equipped at $40K Canadian, basically $39K USD. I like the fact the Accord 6 cylinder takes regular unleaded and wil probably be more fuel efficient to boot, those VQ's can be thirsty.

Pontiac G6 GXP a real Halo car...
Deserves this fate before all of North America sees it and says Pontiac still hasn't figured things out since the Aztec. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_jqhXQhVss

CAR SHOPPING
Drive Intrigue into ground or until mortgage is paid off and future retirement funds in bank compounding. Hopefully I have the willpower to hold off 4-5 years and there is a Camaro with my name on it.

Pontiac G6 GXP a real Halo car...
Maybe players will get to blow up the car in the game. It will be one of the level's ugly bosses.

Pontiac G6 GXP a real Halo car...
Even all the graphics on it can't hide its a piece of $h! all ugly team car.

2008 Cadillac BLS Estate
They're just making the Cadillac brand = Complete and utter $h!, a laughing stock in Europe. Way to go GM, between this and the G6 GXP you just make my blood boil.
