FIRST LOOK: 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
I used the thumb toggle switch when I test drove an Outlook, and felt like you have to keep your hand and thumb on the shifter or else you'de "lose your place." I would actually prefer the switches on the steering wheel or just being able to push the shifter up and down, because then you can either have both hands on the wheel or spend a second or two reaching down to push a lever.

Three medium glasses of Black Label on the rocks... maybe four

SATURN OUTLOOK
I just drove an XR about a half hour ago. Ride is smooth and solid, chassis feels good. The transmission shifts are seamless, and the "tap shift" is responsive (almost instantaneous). The engine feels powerful enough, I didn't really get to flog it (nor did I really want to). The dash lighting is really cool with an orange/yellow of the gauges and buttons, and white LED lighting for the displays.

SATURN OUTLOOK
I got to spend a few minutes in an Outlook at LAIAS. I agree, the second row is a little low and the seats aren't that deep. But, the fact that they slide front to back means that legroom isn't much of an issue. The third row is CAVERNOUS, relatively speaking! My brother and I (we are 6'1" and 6'3" respectively) had plenty of legroom (with the middle row slid forward one or two clicks), plenty of headroom, and in no way did it feel tight or cramped.

FIRST LOOK: 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
Seeing these interior picks almost gave me the same feelings I had when I first saw the Camaro concept last year. The way the wood strip extends across the dual cowels looks AMAZING.

FIRST LOOK: 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
The rear end looks good, but those tail lamps look weird... like, "not a Chevy" weird. Maybe it looks better in person. The rest of the car looks good!

Looks cool... I wonder if "Premier Bush" will be driving one!

The O.C. Finally Shoots His CTS....!
You can get it with the 17" Sport Package. Which, if i'm correct, has the same mechanicals as the 18" Sport Package. The only downside is that all the cosmetic things like the grill insterst, spoiler, rocker panels, exhaust tips are dealer installed options.

Spied: 2008 Dodge Magnum SRT-8
The grill and headlights remind me of the Dodge Shadow, and overall it looks LESS agressive to me.

CAR-MONY EYES CHRISTMAS CHART SUCCESS
Sounds like fun. When I read the first few lines, I was hoping they were using revving engines and exhaust notes to make music. Oh well...

1st Annual C&G Member's Rides Calendar
Sweet... I knew I didn't give much extra information, so I was wondering how you guys filled up so much space. Excellent job guys!

Great personalized license plate..
My dad's '87 IROC had a cool, state issued, plate: 2FST455 = too fast for 55 (mph), which used to be the speed limit at the time.

Cool... my car! What's all that text between the "2000 Camaro SS" part and the name of the month?

2007MY for New Tundra to Take Advantage of Old EPA
True in the short-term, but won't it make things look much worse when (assuming things go unchanged) in its next model year the Tundra's mileage drops 7-15%?

TCC Test: 2007 Saturn Outlook
Sounds good... I'm pretty sure we'll be replacing my mom's Tahoe with one of these.

The O.C. Finally Shoots His CTS....!
My aunt and uncle just picked up an '07 CTS with the "California Luxury Package," in Diamond White (or whatever the pearl white color is called) with the Cashmere interior. I'm looking forward to using the navigation combined with the real-time traffic reports. I get to drive it from LA to SD, and take care of it once it's down there I also don't get why you can't get any of the 18" wheel sport packages with navigation. The closest you can get is the 17" wheel luxury package, which has the sport suspension but not the load-leveling, upgraded breaks and a few other things, then have the dealer install the 18" wheels, body kit and exhaust tips.

Ever run into your old car you got rid of?
Our ex-neighbor bought my dad's IROC after it was traded in on an SSEi. The car was in good shape until the guy slid it into a curb, then left it to rot on his driveway.

Santa spotted in a 3500HD!
A new Sierra parked a couple blocks from my house! I always see a bunch of new GMT900 SUV's, but hopefully I'll start seeing more PU's too.
