CSpec

The G6 powertrain lineup is really confusing. The GTP is now just the coupe and sedan, and if you get it with an auto it's the 3.6 and 6-speed combo. However, if you get it with the 6-speed manual, you still get the 3900.

I'm not sure if I like the idea of a GTO based on the Camaro. What's wrong with making it a coupe Zeta?

A quick search reveals that Ulrich "only" made $8mil in cash. The rest is calculated based on stock options and sales, the price of which is highly correlated to their performance.

The Outlook doesn't photograph very well from traditional angles, sorta like the Corvette.

Uhh, nice radio placement, Chrysler.

Huh? How do you put stuff in using an ampersand?

The annoying thing about these characters is that the number codes only work on the number pad, not the numbers on top of the keyboard. This means I have to hit Fn+NumLock on my laptop, which is a real pain.

I don't think it's actually that big, it just has a 300C-like length to wheelbase proportion.

Blah, I think it looks worse now.

A good review for a car almost in its last year. The next CTS will address those shortcomings and then some.

The Enclave starting production in April 2007 actually gives them a pretty balanced run of new/revised models. Enclave in April, Lacrosse Super comes out that summer (or earlier), the Lucerne gets a refresh the next year, and the Epsilon II Lacrosse comes out in early 2009. Add in the Zeta that'll come out relatively soon after that and Buick will have a very nice lineup.

Vette all the way. If you're going the Cayman route, save money and get the Boxster.

The side looks pretty good, except for the laughably cheap greenhouse fake-out in the C-pillar. The back is sort of Avalon-esque, and the front is going to be hideous. Plus, we already know the interior is typical Chrysler (it sucks).

People here don't drive anything interesting. Lots of Volvos and middling Mercs. The one interesting car I know of offhand is the governor's red Arnage T (he lives on the the other side of town).

The EP2 Lacrosse starts production in early 2009 as a 2010. The Super will have almost two full model years on the W-body.

Too bad auto prices are so static. GM could really clean up charging an appropriate price upon intro, and then lowering it as demand wanes.

I think the delay is more a capacity issue with the 3.6.

Saw a Viper GTS today, drove alongside it for a bit on the highway.

This may be horribly out of date, but last I heard it was getting a V8 version of the M5 V10 with ~400 HP.

I don't think it looks too bad. The short hood/ultra slopey windshield works better on the taller hatch than our sedan.

Only 200,00 per year globally by the end of 2008?

I can get the article when the June issue comes out. For some reason my college library subscription doesn't put the most recent month online.

I just saw that today in the paper. I've been hearing all about this recall as B&L is based in Rochester, but I had no idea Zarella was CEO.

My last final was Macro also, but I took it on Saturday.

Was it the Sixteen?
