I dunno, everytime I cross the border I see American flags on everyone's doorstep. No Common sense, No Intelligence? I'm sorry, there is NOBODY smarter or better than YOU in the United States. I didn't know you are the superior interllect of the world. You have just insulted most of the people on this board, you basically calling all Americans Prideless, Dumb, and Incompitent. You know what I call you, an ignorant, shallow-minded, one-sided individual. I'm Canadian, but even I think you took that comment too far!

It's not cause of the forigners, when ppl couldnt speak english, they went off the ESL, it's cause Liberalism has moved too far, teachers are not even allowed to yell at students anymore, cause it's not "politically correct". People are getting dumber. But it has nothing to do with buying imports over domestics.

Agreed

pretty cool story

They cancelled it because it was too expensive to produce, plus they were exteremely problamatic, therefore eating away at warranties, etc... And, sorry but Honda adopted the CVT tranny on their '97 Civic Coupe if I'm not mistaken...

um... they are very much alike, right down to the grill shape, and even the location of the fog lights. But, w/e I wonder if Hyundai did this, if you'd like the design as much?

Um no... I've never liked this thing, and we all know the Red Line project went to hell for Saturn, I said it in sarcasm, that it's funny, if the red doesn't work out, let's try green... anyways, at the same time you're contradicting yourself, because you obviously love the new Buick crossover, which has allot of Lexus RX330 cues.

Yeah, in looks, but not in feel... like this one...

I dunno, I'm not for it..... however, determining it's quality before even sitting in it, is not a fair statement.... When I go to Detroit I will comment on the quality...

Okay, because you are presuming the press will be all over this because it has an 8 speed, and it's a Toyota made product, and the media has their loyalty towards... blah blah blah blah... and in turn will attack GM because they still 4 speed automatics.... well.... yeah, they will, come on, even the Honda Civic has a 5 speed automatic! They will, not because it's a Toyota, it's because all these companies are moving ahead, and GM is stuck in a time warp, come on the 4 speed automatic was a revolution in the 80s, you gotta move YOUR bias aside a bit and focus why the press is attacking GM vehicles, well maybe because they are giving us cars that were desirable in 1995, and we are in what year now? So look at it from a broader picture, instead of jumping conclsions or even presuming "discrimination" against GM.

This all reminds me of the current Federal Election campaign here in Canada

I don't, you don't, but maybe others who are looking for cheap cars do...

If the red line doesnt work out, try the green lol

We are in the 21st century, the 1980's have passed a while ago...

My worries exacatly

A mini-maxima, how original

Actually, this generation of Passat is the nicest they had, esp. the wagon...

I know, they brought the Echo Hatch here, and it passed the test, now they're testing it in the US, my prediction, that it wont do as good as here, because Americans are not fond of small cars as we are up here.

Ted the pimp

I'm going to say right now, that starting post like this are going to lead into fights...

What are you talking about, I never post on TOV, I said it before, if you don't like what I write, don't read it, or don't come on to the Asian Marques section.

Hey, I respect that, noone is shoving anything down your throat, I from personal experience know that Domestics have thicker and tougher bodies, but in the enginerring department, there is allot of room for improvement. The Koreans are doing what Honda does, by making tissue-paper thick bodies, which dent easily. I could tell you that the body of the Camry I own, i far tougher and more solid than my mom's Accord. Although we had a Caravan before the Sienna came along, the Caravan's body panels were think and tough, but not put together with precision like the Sienna. Also, despite the tough steel, the front shock housing rusted through, because salt got trapped under there, due to lackluster design, and many people reported these problems with Caravans/Voyager/T&C's... I know people who spent 1500$ to get the entire front shock towers rebuilt, thankfully, our neighbour is a mechanic and did it from us for very cheap. Domestics are a thousand times better, than twenty years ago, however they still have a long way to go to catch up with what the imports have established. However, you are right, when you are a buyer, a GM vehicle is an awesome deal. Like I know people who picked up '01 Aleros and '02 Cavaliers for $4000 privately, because of it's poor resale value. However, my '97 Camry is worth about $7000, so it's win-lose situation, if you are a buyer of a used Toyota, you lose, but you win as a seller, and vise-versa for the domestics.

Wait, Wait, Wait, now you're arguing over 1/2 second differences, the Civic for once is not a sport's car, it's an econo-box, and always will be.

Ok, buddy, you bash anything that is not a GM, Ford, or Chrysler, people don't buy them based on warranty, the Koreans have improved a whole lot, in the past five year, faster than anybody, they imporved faster within 5 years than the Americans did in 10. However they are not perfect yet, like the Japs, but for the money, you are getting a decently built car. You say in America it's all about price, then since the Malibu is cheaper than Accord, and Camry, why are Accord and Camry still outselling them?

HaHa, I had the same bad luck with Sony, I always perfered either Panasonic or Samsung.
