CSpec

Is that the Opel Frogster concept? I think that's the name.

Make a new FWD/AWD platform that has shorter overhangs, a wider track, and more rear-seat legroom than the current Epsilon and W plaforms.

I wonder what the tarp is covering.

Chevy SSR. It's ugly, it's big and heavy, it's expensive, it rattles and twists, and it's pointless. Pontiac SV6. Duh Saab 9-2X. Its sales are picking up, but it's still just an Impreza with a new nose. GMC Canyon. As shameless as the CSVs, yet gets very little press. GMC will have plenty of new volume from the Acadia and sub-Theta to afford to drop it. I hope the 2009 version is much more differentiated from the Chevy. Envoy XL and Trailblazer EXT. Not only does the added length and raised rear roof make this duo look goofy, but I can't really see a reason to get one over a GMT900. Chevy Monte Carlo. The 2006 refresh is a pathetic attempt to squeeze out the most redneck sales as possible with the least possible investment.

They have XC90 and X5 police cars in London.

That's a dealer ride & drive isn't it? I think they had (old) Miatas and S2000s there too.

I should have taken Latin; it seems much more useful. Equus = Equestrian.

Oh that's strange. I assumed it was on Theta because it's built at CAMI and has the same width as the VUE/Equinox.

RWD? On Theta? That has to be a typo.

Several insiders have hinted at Buick getting a premium Theta crossover, which is probably more useful than another sedan.

I really like that shot of the 6-series. The Bangle look has grown on me. I used to think the Z4 and 5-series looked absolutely dreadful, but now I think the 5er is acceptable and the Z4 is even good-looking. However, the 7-series is still a bit funky and I hate the interior, and the X3 is just bad.

Isn't insurance for V8 models more expensive than the V6 counterparts? Plus I think GM should have a real cheap 3900 version that takes full advantage of the best attributes of pushrod V6s: compact, good mileage, and cheap.

Unless you really need a truck, get the Cobalt. This is just my opinion, but there are several small trucks out there that blow the Colorado out of the water. :ph34r:

Another comparison. :)

The Cien is starting production in two years? And with a Northstar V8? Don't think so.

I saw a new Impala today. It was red with two old farts in it.

I always get weirded out by those commercials for Christian rock that show the entire stadium of people raising their hands in prayer.

I just saw a Cadillac commercial for the employee discount, I think the first I've ever seen. Anyway, at the end they advertise a base SRX V6 for $32,000. That's as much as a CTS with the same engine, and far less than the X5 and RX330, which indicates how the market is recieving its premium price. The SRX really needs a significant interior overhaul.

Thanks for the tips, Alpha. I'll need to think about how much I'm willing to spend on a mouse.

I wonder when this will happen. Maybe she's referring the 2008 Malibu which is still on Epsilon I.

Funny how they think a Theta Premium model is a giant.

Actually, I was looking at full-sized mice that happen to be BlueTooth. Basically I don't want to plug anything into the laptop for the mouse to work because I have integrated BlueTooth anyway. Could you refer me to the other models? I guess BestBuy just sucks at mice.

I really want to get a BlueTooth mouse for my new laptop, but only two seem to exist and they're both expensive.

That chart with the different transmissions used for different displacements is very interesting. If the pics of the trannys are at least approximately positioned correctly, GM is going to have some pretty serious power in the future.

That's a hell of a lot better than the current Lancer Sportback.
