'07 Saturn Aura review
This should prove well for GM bringing over more Opels as they are, and not "Americanizing" them.

SMALL CROSSOVERS
When the math is done, nothing beats the HHR. Perfect crash rating, moderate price, decent power, outstanding rear legroom . . . It just adds up, no matter how you look at it. That's why we bought one.

GM Opens First-Ever LEED-Gold Certified
Unfortunetly GM isn't really good at this. And we all know toyota has a plant in 50th place that they will advertise how great it is because they started recycling cardboard.

Crap-ass Toyota
Because they are 99% toyota 1% GM. The only part GM plays is the plant, possibly the stereo.

Cannonball Run II
Funny, I just watched this movie last week. What car did Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr drive in the movie? ** In the first one it was a Ferrari, in the second a Corvette What car did Frank Sinatra drive? ** Dodge Avenger? What car did Burt Reynolds and Dom Delouise (sp?) drive? ** Ambulance in the first one, Chrylser "limo" in the second What, at the time, very young martial arts star was in this movie? ** Chan There were two characters on this movie from the same TV series. What series and what two actors were they? ** Not sure here One character from MASH was in the movie, what was his character's name and his real name? ** Clinger (Mash name), not sure of real name, though I love both Mash and ofcourse Cannonball And one final one, what was the name of the orangutang (sp?), and what other movie did he star in along with another actor? ** Not sure of his name, but he was in Smoke and the Bandit with Burt

Opel Antara: Elegant 4WD Crossover
It looks for "Asian". Perfect for Saturn, not my style.

Trailblazer
The T-355s seem to have been bad luck every where they went. First they got introduced at the killing of Oldsmobile, then they get put into 2 divisions that are just going to kill them off as soon as they got there.

Toyota Sienna minivans probed
This time they're going to avoid a recall no matter what.

2008 Saturn Vue Red Line
I like how they left the Opel interior mostly alone.

New IIHS Crash Tests
Time for GM to toute the good rating by the Malibu vs the camry & accord.

So after the '07 product blitz, only 3 for '08?
According to Motor Trend, as we know they are a very un-biased and 100% correct magazine , we can expect; Buick Enclave Cadillac BRX Cadillac CTS Chevrolet Aveo 5-door Chevrolet Malibu Chevrolet Trailblazer (and this is how we know MT is spot on ) GMC Envoy (see above) GMC Yukon Hybrid Hummer H3 Alpha Pontiac Bonneville Pontiac GTO Pontiac Solstice hardtop Pontiac Sport Wagon (see Chevrolet Trailblazer) Saturn Ion I did leave out the ones that they say are 2008s that are actually 2007s.

Pauwels Does The Malibu
Anyone remember how hot the current Malibu looked via a sketch? If nothing else, it does look like it will have more life than the current Malibu.

New York Times: Saturday, Aug 5 edition
Food for thought; 1. Nothing was mentioned of GMs recalls going down? 2. Nothing was mentioned about the above in the article? 3. If it takes 4 years to make the turn around because of recalls, GMs should keep going down while toyota starts to go up. That would mean by next year, toyota with less cars sold will have more recalls.

"... GM's strategy is making sense"
As much as the press likes to rip on the HHR, it's long term ownership costs is one of the lowest out there, beating the PT Cruiser and other small wagons.

GM's NA small engines
Maybe part of Lutz's comment about GM products getting better gas mileage has to do with them advertising the Ecotecs actual mileage rather than devaluing them.

Ipod Connection to be on all GM models!
I'm just disappointed they didn't already have this when I bought our HHR. I have my IPod connected almost all the time, but with no battery it becomes useless, especially when I forget to turn it off when not using the car.

Record heat
Some of you might think I'm crazy for this, but maybe if we tear down all the old crap on the East Coast and build more efficent buildings you wouldn't be having that problem. Go with me for a minute on this. Our 3 year, 1600 sqare foot home cost $75 in electricity last month to keep cool with record high temps for Oregon (104 degrees on one of the days). We couldn't keep our old 1000 sq ft heated in the winter months for less than $100 a month even without record lows. I couldn't even start to imagine had we had AC in our old apartment what the cost would be. Our home uses gas for heat and so far our worst bill has been $70 when we had the super cold spells this last winter. Imagine if we tore down all the old buildings back east, as the west coast is known for already tearing them down and starting over, we could cut our overall energy consumption in 1/2.

2007 Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra
Hopefully real life will bring more life to the trucks. The GMC version is definitly a better looking truck.

Fusion got its first warranty workout
Better yet, my new GM has the IPod connector and XM. There is no need for the 6 place CD player, though we do use it.
