Assuming the batteries don't completely drain overnight, you'd think that the generator could keep just enough juice flowing to drive around while it's running. Otherwise, what happens when you're on a long road trip and battery levels start dropping...

I wonder how many Prius-es have reached 200,000 miles?

NO! I once had a Montego rental (5,6A?) with "D" and "L," and I hated it! It was also slow to downshift, but dropping it down to "L" was usually a lower gear then I wanted. I like the +/- button on the Enclave because... I can shift up through the gears AS I PLEASE I can downshift, to the gear I WANT, WHEN I PLEASE If I don't feel like doing the above, then I can force the 6A to act like a 3,4,5A by just leaving the indicator in 3,4,5... point being that, I know it's stupid for a 6A to upshift through all the gears when I'm driving slow to moderate speeds. So much like the 6M in my SS, I can choose the highest gear for a particular application!

New LaCrosse, the front end looks good... thought it was a Super, but it was just a CXS.

My "The Camaro Anthology" CD says nothing about a Turbo 6 for the 1985 Camaro, only the option for a "LB8 Engine 173ci/135hp V6 (std Berlinetta)"

The Camaro

I remember hearing that we should/could expect drastically different bodywork... what happened to that?

Yeah, that's common too...

Trip computers are cool. I really like the set-up on my brother's GTI, you can scroll through the usual inst. mpg, avg. mpg, trip odometer, trip time, etc. and it will show you both lifetime and current data! I also LOVE automatic headlights. How can you make an argument against them? On numerous occasions I've seen people driving around at night with their headlights OFF, just because they have back-lit gauges and they totally forget to turn them on.

True... but look at the poll. Assuming people knew what they were responding to, the majority of the vehicles with problems are NOT MODDED, though who knows how they've been driven.

I agree about the joining of the trim at the sides of the center console. It's definitely not a misalignment, since it's the same on both sides. It has to be a design issue, but why they would make the overlapping piece not sit flush is beyond me. I think I noticed the same thing in pictures of the center console of the new Malibu.

Yeah... my gf's grandmother is friends with one of their (maybe the drummer's?) grandmothers, so my gf and her grandmother got to go to whichever band member's sister's wedding!

Red Sky and Solstice within a 5 minute span.

If you'll be doing mostly highway driving then you can expect MPG in the high 20's, maybe very low 30's, assuming you stick around 65-70, in 6th gear. So the fuel economy is good, but it's the extra 10-30 cents per gallon of premium gas to consider...

Why not just refresh the Aveo to look like one (maybe two) of these?

I keep seeing a black/silver-stripes Ford GT parked in a faculty spot on campus (UCSD).

A couple new 9-5's and a new 9-3

Pontiac Buzzzz! I can imagine the commercial now... guy 1: Hey! What's with all the buzzz? guy 2: It's a Pontiac!!! (though lame, this sounds much funnier in my head and doesn't seem to translate well in text...)

It might weigh a lot (relatively speaking), but they say it handles great and it's not slow... so, does it really matter? Can we please move on?

How can the redesigned HHR still be an HHR (Heritage High Roof) if it loses its retroness?

Why does RWD imply poor gas mileage? I can understand if mileage slightly decreases... but not so much as to let "CAFE standards put those plans on hold."

35th Anniversary Camaro SS

I also saw a white NEW Vue... it was a rental, and that color does make it look BORING! Regardless of that, my sister really liked it!

I think most the "bitching" is in regards to the "layers of bulging lard" look that this and so many other interiors are emulating. It has nothing to do with it being a Hyundai.

I actually cannot stand these types of interiors, where the center stack bulges out and it looks like layers of silly-putty. Sorry, but I don't need to get my eyes checked, and this thing sucks (from a design point-of-view).
