  1. How has the BLS done in Europe? ps. Isn't the CTS already a 3er competitor? That's how I would place it...
  2. The mkV still seems so fresh... This makes me feel old, to see the car generations coming so fast. Anybody else feeling like time is speeding up?

    I see we both like this particular piece of jailbait... check out my avatar.
  4. I say yes. I would never buy it... but that's always been the case, gas prices have not changed that. Gas prices also will not change the mind of somebody who has been wanting a Camaro since 2003. A Hummer is an easy target for environmentalists to slag. Reasonable sports cars should be OK (Corvette, Camaro, etc).

    The conversion posted earlier is not quite correct. Current Toronto prices are around 1.36, here's the conversion that Google gave me, which is right when I double-check it. 1.36 (Canadian dollars / l) = 4.83531664 U.S. dollars / gal Search I used was: "1.36 cad/l to usd/gal"
  6. Haven't we gone through turbines already, in the '60s? What happened with that anyways? Why did they disappear?
  7. What were the big losers?

  9. Wierd kink in the taillight like the Impreza...

    ps. I vote NDP, so I'm even further from the Republican ideology than Americans even have a choice of being (unless they want to 'throw their vote away' on green)

    ...but this has different meanings in different countries. I'm sure Europe is on its own scale again, but I will speak of Canada because I know it. SCALE: traditional left wing .......................................... traditional right wing Canada: ....NDP...................Liberals.............Conservatives USA: .........................................Democrats..............Republicans

    ...and on a similar note I'd also like some time with: Maybe if somebody could arrange for those, it might change my mind about Republicans... LOL
  13. French is on a lot of things in Canada, but we really can't complain because it's actually an official language. Although it does bother me to see signs and menus entirely in Chinese in some places in Chinatown...
  14. The Malibu, Acura TL and the Prius had a baby. Overall very nice, with some awkward bits.

    I once saw a radio shop worker install a factory radio in a '59 Chevy that originally had none. He had to drill a hole in the body for the antenna. He looked like he was going to crap himself as he brought drill to metal! In the other bay of the shop at the time was a late '50s Thunderbird, it was quite odd to walk in and see the two of them like that.

    Ummm... what is so particularly Texan about the sentiment here? I agree with the sentiment, the people just defended themselves and should not be charged. I'm about as far from Texan ideology as a North American gets...

    Seriously though, does nobody consider foreign relations when choosing a president? I don't see how anyone can choose McCain, if you do. It's basically flipping the rest of the world the finger, saying, "We ARE Team America, world police." Canada won't be a good ally much longer if the political rift keeps widening. Another step in the Republican direction is not what we need right now.

    I'll just say this: As far as America's image goes, it is important that Obama gets elected. If the American people really want to flip the bird to the rest of the world and elect McCain, I will be boycotting the country - no more American vacations or products. My allegiance to GM be damned, if that's the kind of country it comes from.

    Yes... Satty feels the same way I do. We have separatists in Canada (for the succession of Quebec). We let them have their opinions, but would we want them to run the country? NO.
  22. YES! Makes the good styling more obvious when you put it like that.
