That satisfactory feeling when you accomplish something
So I finally got the Buick home, and it actually accelerates and doesn't smoke or smell like gas or exhaust. But I never fixed the other little things, so its a kinda hollow victory. Still no new radio, no cruise control and the headliner is still duct taped up. And it needs a windshield. But at least we'll be able to get the kayaks to the lake without having to pray they dont act like a sail on the Prius. In the long term, I think I'm going to reverse my stance and say that I'll be willing to yank the 307 in favor of something a little ballsier. Also, I got my bike rebuilt and put a new seat on it, but that also feels hollow, mostly because I want a new bike.

Has C&G been down?
At least when the site is down, people aren't bitching nearly as much about dumb $h!.

Nice Price or Crack Pipe?
I want swivel seats for my Buick. But I'd rather have a Prelude.

Chevy Volt coasts closer to reality, first bona fide model now in production
The Prius didn't come to market with established competition. Chevy is going to have to get people out of the Prius, the HS 250, the Insight and the Fusion Hybrid, all of which cost significantly less and had a head start in the market. GM is going to have to convince people to fork over more money for a relatively unknown powertrain, if they can do that with the first gen, then GM is set, but it isn't going to be easy.

Plenty of non-hatchbacks have more than 10 cu.ft. Thats what the Genesis Coupe has, and that trunk looks nearly useless.

Wow, doesn't the '10 Prius have like 20-something cubic feet of trunk space? The Volt has 10? Guess they really dnt intend for the Volt to be taken long distances.

Not sure why you were expecting midsize, its based on Delta II which is the basis for the ridiculously named Chevy Cruze.

The Volt is going to be about the same size as the Prius. And the '10 Prius is apparently more comfortable inside than the previous ones.

Buy, sell, keep or trade?
Rangers do seem like the type that will run forever, but the truck available now is pretty crude. Great if you just need a cheap truck to do truck things, but those buyers are a dying breed. I bet that if Ford were to take the improvements made to the F-Series and scale them down to make the Ranger a quieter, more comfortable truck without making it huge, they'd see a bump in sales.
