As a concept it may not be built off anything. Don't forget DCX already has the B-segment smart forfour built off the joint-project Z-car platform, the Polo platform isn't any more modern.

There's no reason you shouldn't be a vegetarian, but I don't think it's feasible for everyone or even the majority of people, just because of the incredible change in farming that would be needed to support it. As for people who protest hunting as cruel in general, I get the feeling that they see it as a soft target since they know too many people are fond of burgers for them to ban killing altogether. I don't know about you but if I was a duck or a deer I'd rather take my chances on the open range than be penned up all my life, and being shot must be far better than disease or starvation. I sympathise with BV and TurboRush. I like wild game and support hunting for meat. Duck, rabbit, deer, antelope it's all good (would not eat bear though). Don't know that I'd like the actual hunting and butchering part myself though. Since I don't think it's much of a sport I'm all for all kinds of unsporting aids, like dogs and beaters and fences; as long as we're there for meat and not a trophy or the thrill of killing.

I have nothing against game hunting and some forms of trapping, but I don't consider it a sport. In many ways wild game is better for you than farm-bred (depending on the species and the species), and after all humans are natural predators. Trophy hunting/fishing or hunting for the sport I feel is immoral though. If you need to prove your prowess join a paintball club. As for catch and release, unless you're tagging for research that's just cruel and pointless. If you're not going to eat it why do it. Beating the crap out of a fish and releasing it to do it again later, what kind of respect is that?

"We sold so many we didn't have time to register them all."

According to the Youngstown "Business Journal": "The Pontiac G5 is a sister vehicle to the Pontiac Pursuit, which Lordstown manufactures for sale exclusively in Canada. The G5, which will make its debut in time for the 2007 model year, has a completely new interior and cockpit along with additional modifications for the U.S. market, Graham said." http://www.business-journal.com/EnthusiasmPontiacG5.asp

The Astra uses the older-generation iron-block family II engines, while Saab now uses the new L850 aluminum block. The other Ecotec engines are the smaller Family 0 and Family I blocks. The Latin American version of the new Astra is a sedan, sold as the Chevrolet Vectra. That is available with an aluminum Family II, a development of the older 2.4 L iron-block truck engine with a 16V head and flex-fuel capability. Although larger than the new North American 2.4 L VVT engine it produces less power.

necessary (BTW voluptuous doesn't mean fat, it means "full of delight or pleasure to the senses: conducive to or arising from sensous or sensual gratification". You have to have a certain fetish to associate fat with voluptuous. Rochelle Loewen is voluptous. Other people will find Brad Pitt voluptuous. A voluptuary is a hedonist.)

Not that it's not getting good sales, just that Honda was over optimisitic about this entire segment v. standard pickups.

Selling better than the Avalanche, and the Mark LT is selling better than the Escalade EXT (and often the Navigator).

Decent power courtesy of a much bigger engine, and prices to match mean sales are limited. With a cheaper base model with a smaller engine as offered in other markets it might sell better against the Aveo and Accent etc.
