After closer inspection, it looks like buickguy is right... the trunklid has a fixed hinge on the back bumper: :angry2:

That would be incredibly stupid considering GM's XLR has a dual-hinged decklid.

I can't think of anything in the North American pipeline that could possibly fit that bill... but maybe they're going to import the new Holden Statesman?

I thought it was U of Wisconsin at Madison?

That trunk had better be fixed by production... the carry-over height is much too high.

Something I just noticed (sorry if this was posted before):

He's the highest paid in the kicker in the NFL too.. by a lot.

Really? I thought Rutgers or Willam and Mary were the oldest. Ah well, you learn something every day. EDIT: I just realized that William and Mary is a college. I think I would agree with that... tuition is very reasonable and the COL in the South is considerably less than Cali or the Northeast. It's true that in the end most schools end up teaching you the same stuff if you are motivated enough, but unfortunately the name of the institution on the piece of paper they give you carries a lot of weight. I mean, business school is pretty much Kindergarten but with case studies instead of finger painting. More color and pictures = good. But you're weeded out by going ot a good business school... Wharton and Sloan are very hard to get into, but once you're in you're set.

Harvard is not necessarily the best school, but their reputation is golden and Harvard has a magic X-factor that other schools don't... I mean it's Harvard. The school thinks they're God's gift to the earth. Their endowment shows it; it's unfairly huge. Here are select endowments: 1. Harvard - $23 billion 2. Yale - $13 billion 3. Princeton - $10 billion 4. Stanford - $10 billion 6. MIT - $6 billion (I know I skipped 5; it's U of Texas at Austin which is the same as Stanford) 10. Wash U at St. Louis - $4 billion 20. USC - $2.4 billion And Chapel Hill is the flagship U of North Carolina.

I was pretty depressed about the Patriots losing in such an ugly manner yesterday, but the ending of the Colts-Steelers game was absolutely insane... Polamalu's reversed interception, Manning sacked, Bettis's fumble (why the hell didn't they kneel?!), Roethlisberger's game-saving tackle, Vanderjagt's missed FG... what a crazy game. Even though I hate the Steelers, I hate the Colts more and took joy in Manning's frustration and anger. Now I want the Steelers to beat Denver and then lose to Seattle.

Whoops, sorry Enzora. Chapel Hill is also a very good state school.

Awesome! Thanks, mustang. I haven't playe GTA since like October but I'll crack it open again now.

Harvard is so much better than any other school in the country that it's not really fair to compare other schools to them (not in terms of student experience, but that's another topic). But I agree that Cal is definitely up there with most of the Ivies, Duke, Chicago, and so forth. I wouldn't say UCLA is that good, but it's certainly good. The only other state schools which can compare are Michigan and Virginia.

Happy birthday, and sorry about the Colts losing (even though I'm THRILLED).

I'm somewhat skeptical as well, but he did go into the hospital once (supposedy for a stomach ulcer).

How on earth are Audi interiors "flashy"? I don't think the STS is the best example of the new GM interiors. I think these are better:

Yeah FamilyCar chose a terrible color; the interior looks nice though.

I just had a look at some real-world pics, and I think they're revolting:

I thought he meant Yankees as in from the Northeast. So, uh, have fun getting ticketed for doing 31 in a 30 and eating blood and eels.

Oh boy, the one warm spell in Rochester and I miss it because of winter break.

Thanks for the link, wildcat. The video is very interesting; he said the V6 will make 280-300 HP and that none of their V8s will fit - yet (the UV8 must be compact). He was also very encouraging about the interior, saying that the leather on the center stack will survive as will most everything else except for the multiple TVs and the wood on the sunglasses holder.

Yeah the Enclave interior makes the Lucerne and especially the Lacrosse look like toys.

Enclave, Camaro, and VW GX3 were my favorite concepts; I would probably pick the Enclave. The LS460 is probably the best production car.

I also think the Aston doesn't look all that good - they should stick to the their current lineup. The Q7 is also a disappointment: massive girth, a hideous rear end, and a un-Audilike interior. What did you think of the Enclave?

Remember this?
