Not quite THAT talented.

You have my attention.

Hybrid vehicles have been owned.

Or maybe Fillet Shio.

Quoted for truth.

Right-handed, though I can masturbate with both. A trick I learned thanks to internet porn.

Ya know, its like people don't THINK about what they're doing. Have fun when the airbag deploys and throws that clarinette through the back of your skull.

While I didn't SEE it firsthand, I knew a guy in high school who got pulled over because he was trying to play guitar and drive. He was also high.

So the supposedly best vehicles GM has every debuted caused a DROP in quality ratings? Makes no sense.

What confounds me is the drop from 2006 to 2007. What changed?

Except then you'd have a problem with the methane in the bovine (buffalo's are bovines) flatulence.

Its just frustrating.

I like how the subtitle says above Acura and BMW. Ford also ranked higher than Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, Saturn, Pontiac, GMC, Saab, and Hummer. I'm really pissed off about this, if you can't tell. There's no excuse for this kind of backslide. I don't care if Acura is still far below industry average, they're not the ones I'm defending on nearly a daily basis.

I don't understand how in 2006 several of GMs brands were above average and every brand fell below in 2007 while brands that were far below average in 06 were far above.

Its a black eye for GM, no matter how you try to spin it. Disappointing to say the least.

Wow...not one GM brand above industry average. EVERY GM brand got worse ratings than Hyundai and Kia. What the HELL happened?

I hear that argument all the time about integrated vs unintegrated. But the simple fact is the amount of people who immediately replace their factory unit when purchasing a new vehicle is probably so small it doesn't matter. I don't think its a good enough reason to have an ugly head unit in every vehicle you make.

Whats MyGig? And, again I may be a little biased, but the new Sebring interior was definitely designed for the nav unit, because the regular head unit looks pretty bad. And its pretty much the same unit in ever other Dodge/Jeep/Chrysler, and I'm not that impressed by it. All the domestics could benefit from a lesson in integrated center stacks. The 08 Focus and Escape center stacks are very good steps in the right direction for Ford, I'm very impressed by them. GM needs to get on the ball in that respect. I'm tired of their universal head unit showing up in every vehicle they sell.

Call me biased, but the GM display is the best, IMO. I mean it gives you a lot of info on one screen. All your FM presets are displayed and its a nice contrast that won't wash out in sunlight or if you have sunglasses on (read every review of a Toyota with their default green/grey background and black display if you wonder what I mean).

Of that there can be no doubt. It literally looks like something out of a mid-90s SUV.

The T&C looks like a freakin Korean minivan. My GOD, Chrysler sucks. EDIT: I'm referring to the picture at the linked article, not the one in the OP.

All I'm saying is that if it can be an option in a sub-$20k car, its not that big of a deal in $35k+ vehicles. Its kind of a "Well duh!" kind of addition to the options list. Its nothing to get overly excited about.

That display you seem to think is anything special looks like any display off of a decent CD player you could buy a decade ago, when people still bought CD players. There's nothing all that special about it.

Just to illustrate my point. I'm assuming this is a base unit in a Mercedes. Its the only non-nav unit I could find on their website. OOOoooohhh...aaaaaaahhhh...NOT! Volvo S80: IS 250: RX 350: VW GTI: A3/A4: ------------------------ I think we can safely assume that pretty much everyone's base head unit display sucks. Anything that actually stands out as nice is an exception to the rule, but I've get to see any base unit that looked all that fantastic.

Whats a GOOD display look like? Every base unit display I've ever seen in ANY car is pretty basic.
