Chrysler 300C Heritage Edition
I just wish that more manufacturers would make a lot more features optional, but separate. Like features a la carte. For example, I wouldn't want a sunroof, but I might want something else. Just the ability to pick and choose exactly what you want would be great.

Chrysler 300C Heritage Edition
Okay, the Boston Acoustics is already available on other 300 Models, so I don't really consider it an upgrade. As for the other stuff, trivial.

Chrysler 300C Heritage Edition
They couldn't do anything to maybe boost the interior looks other than the little tricolor logo on the seats? For a $36,000.00 car, muchless a special edition, I would expect a little nicer interior.

Buick Century Grille Change...
Okay, I remember one model year in the last generation Buick Century, around 2002 or 2003 or so, reading that the grille received a minor change... that and the Regal. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? And if so, does anyone know what the changes were because I never could tell, and I saw a Century today and it made me think of this. It bugged me for a while back then and today it just rebugged me so any help would be great!! :)

Technology to Detriot's rescue?
Oh wow! That's so funny--I saw a 60's T-Bird about a year ago and saw it doing that when he signaled... figured he made that himself ;) I don't know any cars today that do that though?

What are "sequential taillights"?

I don't know why I read that as "Autopsies" Yup, I think it was a dorm pic. He was looking up into the camera--someone took the picture from above (he was sitting). Nick, said it before, I'll say it again, you're F'in cute as hell.

G6 review
But what kills me is that it would be SO easy for them to just make a center stack, with the openings cut out of them so the controls stuck through them and you wouldn't see the hideous box that they just slide in. It would look flush, better-integrated. That's it--that's all the effort needed.

Sexual Preference
Uffa! ;) Okay, so, if you want a humorous "gay" movie, rent "Eating Out". It was SO funny to me, particularly because I was in a similar situation as the straight girl, Gwen. She kept dating gay guys. I watched it with my friend Catherine, who has the same luck, and coincidentally dated me and caused me to come out. The little sister of the main character killed me when he comes out to his family and she laughs and points screaming, "Fag. You're it!" lol

G6 review
It's a good start though--the car handling well, driving quietly, good gearbox--all good things to hear from their reviews. The interior, well, we've heard that one before, and honestly, I can't blame them. I get more and more aggravated when I see a GM vehicle with a center stack, and then a rectangle outline of the radio/HVAC controls just slipped in. They SO need to stop doing that!

The 2007 Buick LaCrosse Super?
I know how you feel... I'm anxious to know the future of this car. I think though 2008 is a little far away for a refresh and some new equipment. The car needs a tweak for next year, 2007. It's "okay" now. Needs a refresh to make sure it's "okay" next year, instead of already below average.

Honda Ridgeline wins MT Truck of the Year

Is driver chivalry dead?
Are you really? I'm sorry if you are.

Is driver chivalry dead?
My absolute hates: 1) No signal 2) Making your turn after the green arrow has disappeared and red one is in place, and tailing people way after the opposite flow of traffic has been given the right to go. 3) People who leave their signal on for a long time, and then turn/merge the opposite direction. 4) Having no functioning taillamps/brake lights. I mean, seriously, how do you let it get that bad? I check my taillamps once a week--I at least look when it's dark out to make sure there's a red illumination on the road before I head out. 5) People who are FLYING down in the left lane when I'm already going 25 mph over the speed limit, and they flash and tail you for a mile until you move when the center lane is completely open for them to go around you. 6) And finally, that one schmuck (pardon my language), who drove on the shoulder to pass me on the right and get on the parkway 0.25 seconds quicker than me, kicking up a stone that chipped my windshield pretty deep.

2.8L V6 in place of 3800 V6
I thought the hp/torque stats were lower in the LaCrosse because of something having to do with the car just losing power being FWD. But I could be WAY off... this is one of those things that is way out of my league for understanding. As for the 3900 in the LaCrosse, that wouldn't be wise because it would totally make the CXS trim obsolete other than a few ride enhancements. Think: Impala w/ 3900, 242hp/242lb-ft - and 3.6 in LaCrosse, 240hp/225lb-ft. The 3900 would actually be more powerful in the LaCrosse than the 3.6L.

Saw the Sky Today...
I wonder what the interior differences will be? I mean, I know the illumination will not be red, but rather a yellowish color, but will this car get any features that'll be different? Maybe auto-climate control? I dunno, anything more upscale or will it just be identical?

When will we know what changes to the LaCrosse will be made? i.e. engine and transmission changes (if they put the 6A into it)

Buicks new name?
No... it's "lew". But "loo" in meaning water closet is pronounced "lew".
-
Buicks new name?
I believe it's pronounced "loo", as in British slang for a water closet. I always said, "Luh Say-brah", even though in French it's "Luh Sah-breh".
