More Excuses, Same Results
so, we all agree you can sell. what makes you think that a salesman can make a good businessman or turnaround artist?the general did start to post profits and i believe will continue. the only downer is that they had to let go another 30,000 plus customers.

NG STS proposal
all good stuff. however, i did take delivery of my new STS, Loaded, Lux package, with the V6, AWD and the upgrade corsa dual exhaust. WOW!! fast (about 20 more HP), nice tone out the back and it runs on regular gas.

TCC: HUMMER Considering More Models
Hummer detroit is advertising an H3 maximizer. up to 25 MPG. i was more than curious so i called the service guys. for $189. they fill the tires with nitrogen and put in a vortex valve. doesn't void the warranty and the DEALER says you'll get up to 25 MPG and 10% more horse power. the local ABC affiliate did something on that little turbine deal you put into your air cleaner. final analysis was it didn't work. this can't be what the dealer is selling? anyone have any ideas?

Chrysler's "Smoke and Mirrors" marketing
well, as we sit, the caliber is not a disaster but a runaway hit. with, what, only a 12 day supply? the magnum is not selling well but, boy oh boy, i took one to cincy and it was a fine ride. fast and pretty smooth. i almost bought one but i really do not like the interior. specifically the door panels and some of the inside trim. none the less this is one hot car. the charger is pretty sharp as well. don't care for the commander but i think the new, midsized dodge suv will sell well. i think the crummy build quality award goes to ford or maybe mitsu.

NG STS proposal
well, i just did a deal for one today. V6 AWD. ordered the corsa exhaust. hope the quality is everything they say it is. probably will get it on tues.

put quality in them like my H3 and watch them sell!

Being No. 1 no longer a top priority for GM
build GREAT cars, price them right, make a profit on them and treat your customers well and market share will take care of itself.

Just a heads up
idiots. i took the armada on a business trip to cincinnati. highway ride was a little uncomfortable. LOTS of cheap, ill fitting interior plastic. sound system wasn't that hot. a buddy saw it and told me he ordered one. black. took over 3 months to get it. not only do they build mediocre trucks, but they cannot deliver them to you.

Lutz's perfect summation of Toyota
spot on. passed a new camry of thursday. what a butt ugly car. i do like that new, little suv, though. the one with the white roof and round lights. hearkens back to the 60's

E-85 caddies
Does anybody know if cadillac has plans to add E 85 capabilities to any of their cars? I think adding E85 to the V6, AWD STS, the CTS and the Wagon would make sense. Maybe an E85 Escalade.

GM facility revved up for ethanol future
brazil is not oil free. they are foreign oil independant. e 85 requires 15% oil.

GM facility revved up for ethanol future
i am all for this. the politicos need to drop the tariffs on sugar as it produces 4 times the amount of ethanol when compared to corn. shoot you can make the stuff from prairie grass, orange skins and weeds as well. walmart has said that they will have an e 85 pump at all of their stations. all big oil needs to do is start refining ethanol and they can stay in the game. the only down side is a little less mileage. btw, why doesn't someone sell a mod kit for the most popular cars on the road that could easily convert to ethanol?
