Well, (this is cruel, but sarcastic, bear with me) Katrina technically solved the original homeless problem, didn't it? Now we just need another one to take care of the idiots that wanted to stay when the first storm went through. Also, levees, though capable of holding flood waters back, eventually cause more harm than good, notably along rivers. When a river floods, it deposits sediment. This raises the land within the levee. One day, there will be a flood. All of that deposited sediment that built up will cause the river to overflow not only its own banks, but also over the levee walls. This results in a flood that is much worse than if nature had tended itself. So, in my humble opinion, if one live in a river valley, a swamp, or in New Orleans's case, nature's soup bowl, one had better expect whatever problems that come with being situated in a low elevation- notably excess water. These people have no right to complain when floods happen. None at all. This is known as common sense and intelligence. Deal with it people. No one can ultimately control natural events any more than they can live forever.

Sure it will. Mini Ice Age. The climate always cycles, so, sure, we may be killing ourselves off, but it's not going to be instantaneous.

This is no good. GM does obviously need new advertising people. They ads that demonstrate why a GM product is great or better than the competition. Umm, excuse me, but if anyone else was intelligent enough to actually pull that library card out of its holder, they would see that the Lucerne is clearly pictured on the opposite side. Let's try some trial-and-error or extra observation before making a statement.

And something I could live with. You know? I've seen MPH on speedometres in cars that don't even sell in the U.S. anymore, like Peugeot.

Excellent point, but there are differing regulations, and it would technically be an EDM part since there will be no Opel GT's in the U.S. unless such a part was ordered. Could it be possible to order the parts for the Opel in the U.S. from the plant somehow? I would love to figure this regulation and rule crap out!

Incentives should be resisted at all costs! Sell the product! Make the product great!

The guy in the car doing something? Or the cars themselves? Or everything? I honestly don't know myself, my only guess could be an "inspection".

Excellent insight on that. It's like the forest fire problem out west. There were always fires, but when people keep puting them out, the detritus builds up, and then when there is a fire later on, whoosh! Everything goes, and it goes big time!

I don't know about South Park, it seems even worse to me. Maybe that's just the animation quality though, hehe. The others I enjoy as well.

The U.S. really ought to step up and inhibit certain importations, or high tariffs like other nations. Their economies seem just fine too. I would be happy if the Chinese never made it here.

This may be one of the best hybrid ideas yet, and it makes the most sense. Diesels are very refined and of high quality now days, adn they're insanely efficient for their size. Remember the Opel Astra Diesel Hybrid at the 2005 NAIAS?

That's disgusting. Some reverend.

Well, the Liberty technically isn't for sissy city drivers anyway. Technically, no SUV is, and it should be a law that one must prove the need for an SUV instead of a wagon or minivan or hatchback.

Exactly. And this was what, vintage 1996 or something like that? Wasn't Bob Lut still over there at Chrysler? Gee, and this even previewed the 2.4L Turbo 4 engine. Damn it! Chrysler would have done well to keep Plymouth around. And, Did you know? The PT Cruiser was going to be the PLYMOUTH PT Cruiser?!?!

Yes, they did. Early ones even had a VW engine before the 2.2L and 2.2L Turbo took over completely.

Which ones? Daimler-Benz, or the newly intrusive Volkswagen AG? Ooh, they make me all mad inside.

I'm a fan of the cab-forward shapes. They seemed sort of futuristic to me. I own one now. Having worked at Arby's when they were running that campaign about being differnet, or something, always remember: Different isn't neccesarily better.

Whew! I don't feel so crazy now for telling others about it. Glad I'm not the only one to have witnessed it!

Umm, chunky=fat=bloated+round and angular=chiseled=leaner. Interior and exterior could use a sandblasting though. It's more satisfying in person because it's smaller than it appears in photos. But what's with Chrysler not offering a stick with the bigger engines or the diesel here in the U.S.? When will American automakers figure small cars out?

Not really, as the the Crossfire was outdated 10 years ago when it debuted as a Mercedes-Benz.

I hope it will be good looking, even if it is a bit angular, this is possible. I've always liked the looks of the cloud cars, and I'm sorry, but I really don't see anything that any other 1996 mid-size sedan can offer that would be important to me that my Breeze can't. Fuel economy? 31 mpg. Check. Reliability? Check. Space? Check. Syle? Check. Adequate interior? Check.

I find the front design to be entirely unappealing.

Too Cool. Yes, this culd make a better imperial, but Chrysler's currnet design language seems to be angular regardless of brand. So, this is what inspired the Maserati Quattroporte!

Even though it's rude, crude, and offensive, this show is hilarious to me. My favourite character is Toot, the Betty Boop one. Her voice reminds me of one of my friends.

That was something I had thought about. It seems inevitable, yes?
