    Honestly; I'm surprised everyone on this board is so anti-trade (anti-Japan). It really sickens me.

    I disagree with all of y'all and I will write up a retort when I get off work.

    I'm not talking about the powertrain or interior. I am speaking strictly of it's outside appearance. It is the most disappointing car GM has put out in a long time. I love Buicks, and I love their direction they are going on (the Enclave is one of the most beautiful autos on the market) but the Lacrosse is just plain ugly. No way around it. I also think the Lucerne is very handsome. Lacrosse concept: Final Lacrosse:

    You know I can't truly disagree with you. But it is the headlights that really kill me (too much like the failed taurus). And it was also the fact that the concept car looked sooooo damn sexy. But can't win it all and I will still hold true that I think the LaCrosse is the ugliest mid size sedan or bigger car on the market from GM. I use to be a big Buick fan too. The old regal trumps the lacrosse.

    even makeup can't help an ugly chick, and lord knows a new grill for the LaCrosse won't do anything. Ugliest car in GM's lineup and a disgrace to the concept car.

    I was thinking of Plumcrazy. I had forgotten about RexRaider (i know there was some hostility when he left). One person I wished posted more frequently is AH HA. He's always got good information. Of course, we couldn't forget Walt, himself.
  8. as long as they have hood scoop delete i'll buy it.
  9. I think that the new Vue is a real looker. They are turning around Saturn.
  10. Not crazy about the newer looking dakotas. I still prefer my version:

    that'll show those union people. Higher cost of living in their cities and lower pay. This is perfect examples of how unions end up hurting themselves in the long run.

    just a PSU. could be a lot worse. I've had those go out on me before. Right now I have a monitor in the house that is on it's last leg and one video card that's about to go. Also, the wife wants a laptop. On a side note, I've had a fan on my heatsink go out and ran my computer for a week with crashing issues until I finally decided what was wrong. The cpu was running at 100 degrees Celcius (that's right) and the chip is still working. (well, it's in storage now). It was a AMD T-bird 1.2 ghz.

    I haven't heard anything about this; what's the word?
  16. i'm confused. how is a turbo charger new technology?
  17. This seller wants his for $9500: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1g4gk4772gp...1QQcmdZViewItem
  18. I would think they would go for something around 7k to 10k depending on the condition its in. The T-Types were actually a hair faster than the GN's because it had less weight. I would LOVE to own one! Prolly my dream car (GN/T-types - 86/87s)

    That's why Detroit is a dying city. I can feel your pain though. I've had a car stolen (in Columbia, SC) and another car broken into (Austin, TX). The window cost more to fix than the CD player was worth that they stole.

  21. NOS, Great car but you got raped on the loan. They pulled something over on you somehow. But if you go to this website and plug your information in you will see what your payment should be: http://www.bankrate.com/brm/auto-loan-calc...=Dec+22%2C+2012 I am assuming that you paid $15726. The payment should be $267/month. Look into that. Over the course of the loan you are going to lose nearly $3000 because of the $40 difference.

    I think I'll buy my wife one of these in a couple of years.
  23. mt has gone down hill since c van tune left

    I've had good luck with my dodge dakota. I bought it new and put 60k miles on it. If you look at new cars you really have your options open. I will probably only buy new for my daily drivers just because of all the issues I've had with moderately old cars.
