Well said. NJ highways are notorious for short acceleration lanes. So two options present itself: speed up or die. Anybody who drives a hybrid on NJ roads should be shot.

I was at that show on Saturday and it was amazing! They had a 2007 Chevy 2500HD with the Duramax available for a test drive. I laid 2 thick strips of rubber over 100 feet long. That diesel is sick!

I just saw the new television ad this morning. I love it. I would've never considered buying a Saturn until now. GM hit the nail right on the f@#king head with their new ad for Saturn. I like what they are doing. KEEP IT UP GM!!!!!!!

April 2007 Monthly Sales for GM: 311,687 units. April 2007 Monthly Sales for Toyota: 210,457 units. 1st Grade Math: 311,687 - 210,457 = 101,230 units. I do not post on here hardly at all. I enjoy the bantering of the forums. But looking at these numbers, if GM continues this trend, it is certainly on its way to becoming a profitable automaker once again. With exciting new products on the horizon, and its management getting all of its ducks in a row, GM can pull this off. Hopefully, products are brought faster to market than the expectations out there. It does not matter if GM is #1 right now. It is more important to develop a complete product line and sell cars. Encouraging news that its fleet sales continue to decline. I have no love for Toyota. I am not even going to go there. My first 3 lines of my post say enough about that company.

I got a woodie when I saw that front end. I think GM is on the right track.

It's time for Toyota to start feeling its oats. Just like any other company growing rapidly, chinks the armor are appearing. It seems Toyota likes to move forward by producing $h! automobiles. Let's hope this momentum keeps up and puts a rather bitter taste in the mouths of all the mindless assholes who buy Toyotas. Rather vicious but this has been a long time coming.

Since the GMT900s have debuted, every single one has followed the same styling trend. More subtle and softer body lines. While that may work for the Tahoe, Surburban, and Escalade, it does not work for pickup trucks. Take a look at the 2006 Silverado and then look at the 2007 Silverado. There's a HUGE difference. The 2006 Silverado looks more rugged and it looks like it could rip the balls off of any other pickup truck in its class. The 2007 Silverado does not look very appealing with the bulging rear fenders and luggage rack on the roof. The only feature about the 2007 Silverado that I care for is the grille. They could tone down how much chrome is present, but overall the grille is not bad looking. GM needs to wake up and smell the coffee. The designs are beginning to start the cookie-cutter effect. The Silverado has been the meal ticket since it was introduced. Time has made it the best truck in the world. Given the interior spy shot released a couple of months ago, GM is starting to cater to the yuppies who like luxury interiors & luxury looks at luxury prices. Disagree if you want, but I get rather tired of the critcs who do nothing but bitch and moan that GM's products are not like Toyota's. For people like me who are emotional about their cars (as Americans USED to be back in the day), this design is a slap in the face.

I'm glad I bought my 2006 Silverado. This thing is hideous.

There is nothing sexier than the power, torque, sound, and smoothness of a GM- manufactured V8. It just purrs. LONG LIVE THE V8!

We still do have intelligent people on here.

I know it is not serious. I posted it here for informational purposes. Maybe there are some C&G readers who own Colorados/Canyons that have not heard about this yet? That would be amazing.

I'm glad a bought a 2006 Silverado. The problem is people have forgotten what trucks are made for. GM got a bad rap for the interiors but they were more function before fashion. I had a 1996 K1500 and the interior was perfect. It was laid out logically & SIMPLE. All that chrome and the layout make it look like the inside of a Monte Carlo. Very sad that these trucks have fell to the yuppies who got bored with their SUVs. EDIT: I will reserve more detailed judgement when the official pictures are released and I see the interiors of higher trim levels.

Replacing the 4.3L V6 with the I6 is a bad choice, IMO. I had a 1996 K1500 with a 4.3L V6 and although it was slow, the thing had massive amounts of torque. For the 1996 model year, the 4.3L V6 put out 200HP and 250 LB-FT. of torque. That was one hell of an engine.

Buickman's comments are a result of his hubris.

GM doesn't use a 4-speed manual in the H3. I don't even think GM produces a 4-speed manual (maybe in the 70s?). Once again, the media is in such a rush to criticize GM products it can't even get the specs right.

This thread is a fine example of why I do not contribute to the forums on this website. I do not read the threads completely, either, because I know in the first 10 posts what the thread is going to de-evolve into.

The General

GM is turning it around very well. Names like this and the new 2007 Tahoe are excellent for GM. Has the Camaro been confirmed for production??? I can't find that info anywhere.

Good news from Lutz. Given his other statements at the Geneva auto show where "GM is smarter now" it looks as though GM is slowly but surely coming back to profitability. Hopefully, GM continues with the retro-styling of its cars. That's the key to bring GM back to what it once was.

Where are the Honda Ridgelines? I live in the NJ and I've seen TWO. That's right. TWO. Toytoa Tundras are hard to come buy here as well. All I see is Chevy, Ford, and Dodge. No matter how hard Japan tries, trucks are the sole property of the Big 3. You can put all the bells and whistles (including hybrid technology) you want on a Japanese truck and it will still not sell (except for tree-hugging & ignorant Americans). Just look at the spyshots of the GMT900 dualie floating around out there. The f thing is HUGE! I will definitely be saving my pennies for a new Silverado. This guy deserves a medal.
