GM Unveils New Chevrolet Cobalt Sedan Concept at Buenos Aires
I like the utilitarian looks of the Cobalt, though I hope the interior comes in different colors. I prefer the wraparound dash of the Sonic. I wonder if there will be a new Cobalt coupe as well. I highly doubt that we will get both the Cobalt and the Sonic sedan here. I don't think "globally" includes the US.

What do you do with one of
I read in a book that they thought the Sting Ray coupe would be better on the track because of the aerodynamic advantage of the fastback, but the convertible had better weight distribution and thus better handling so they used that instead. Of course I militantly disagree with Camino about aerodynamics, but that's another discussion.

Naval ships from different countries have different prefixes to their names, but it's not always clear what they stand for. USS of course stands for "United States Ship". British Royal Navy ships carry the HMS prefix, which stands for "Her Majesty's Ship". And the prefix for Italian ships is AMB, which stands for "'Atsa ma boat!"

Joke Thread
. In the great desert lived a band of nomads. Their leader, Benny, had risen to his rank due to his magnificent beard. His people believed a man's strength and courage came from his beard, and thus the man with the biggest beard was their chief. After leading the band for many years, Benny began to fell uncomfortable wearing the beard, in this hot and dusty land. He wanted to shave it off, so he called his council together to get their advice. When he said he wanted to shave, the councilmen were shocked. One said, "Do you not remember the ancient legend, Sire. The leader who removes his beard is cursed and made into a piece of earthenware." Benny had heard this legend, but being a modern man, he scoffed at the tale. Being headstrong, he went ahead and cut and scraped away his once magnificent beard. As the final whisker was cut off, a huge dust storm came up. It lasted only a few seconds, and when it cleared, there was a man-sized clay vessel where only moments before had stood their leader. The council then knew the legend must be true. Their conclusion? "A Benny shaved is a Benny urned." . A Frenchman, a German, and an Irishman are sitting at a bar having a drink. The Frenchman looks down at his drink and notices a fly in it. "Sacrebleu!" he exclaims, and throws his drink out over the bar. The German looks down at his drink and also notices a fly in it. "Ach, scheiss!" he shouts, and does as the Frenchman did. The Irishman looks down at his drink and also sees a fly in it. He grabs the fly by the wings and shakes it violently yelling "Spit it out, spit it out!"

Anyone know of any great & reliable sites for researching classic cars?
Wikipedia. It may not always be very in-depth or accurate, but I haven't found another website that's as comprehensive. And it often gives you links to other websites where you can find even more information.

conflict of interest?
If he's saying this then he must be very confident that GM can rise to the top in the fuel-efficiency game, even without government enforcement. So I'd say that's a good sign, even if it was a rather odd thing to say.

S-E-X-X-Y Maybe the best-looking hot hatch ever. Glad they didn't give it the Insignia OPC's fang-intakes.

Dodge C Segment Car
It's looking pretty good. The Giulietta's curves will complement the Charger well, but hopefully the odd headlights will be replaced with something more Dodge.
