  1. But the Mini is not an SUV/CUV. You can get away with that in a car.
  2. Agree with 68 Cougar. It was a one generation car. They milked it for all it was worth, now it's time to move on. (like the last T-bird and Chevy HHR)
  3. Nooooooo! Kill it with fire!
  4. What was this thread about?... Oh yeah, friggin GM... ah who cares. Back to the germs. Did anyone mention money as a source of germs? How many times do you pay for food and don't wash your hands? I don't get sick any way. I don't have to worry.
  5. I just checked Wikipedia. You are correct, Ontario is getting them. I thought it was going to be in Michigan... oh well. If Canada wants to become a state, I'll welcome you! I've always liked Canada.
  6. GM will sue for the name in 3...2...1... That thing has some style, but I believe it will be a sales lemon over here as any 2 door SUV will be.
  7. They would get the same results by pouring the money down the toilet!
  8. I think the 6 is next year after they start building the car in the USA.
  9. Motor Trend summed up a comparison test of sedans by saying Fusion was America's BMW. Especially in driving dynamics.
  10. Very sad. But at the same time, if you're going to die, you might as well die doing something you love and following your dream.
  11. O.K., GM... How much do you want for the stock?
  12. The article mentions "Variable Cylinder Management " which sounds like a system GM uses. On GM's system you have to be cruising at a constant speed for it to work. (In most cases this is rare). Your real world milage will be lower. It will be better than the current Oddyssey because of the 6 spped auto.
  13. It is difficult to name cars with alpha-numerics because customers hate them and sometimes you can be sued because others trademarked letters. (Think Infiniti and BMW fighting over "M" and ford and Honda over MKX and MDX). I am happy to tell you I have a soloution. Remember when Prince changed his name to a symbol? That's what Lincoln needs to do. Now you have to say Lincoln because you can't even say MKS or whatever. typical conversation: Speaker 1. "Hey, nice car. What is it?" Speaker 2. It's a Lincoln... um... whatever the fuck that says. So I propose this will be the next lincoln model name: (of course the only problem with this is that the average Town Car buyer could actually tell you what this says.)
  14. You're fairly certain that 2011 is out of your price range, so if you really enjoy your current one then go for the 2010. If you really need the new tech and features that the 2011 provides, then I'd go for a 2011 Edge. You'll get 90% of the MKX features for less money.
  15. Transit Connect is sold world wide so those numbers are higher. Ford can get away with selling only 9,000 here. The panthers are only sold here and there is no other market to share costs.
  16. WTF is with that dash board?
  17. How the hell does something like that get a gren light for production? It looks like the back fender comes from a different car and is glued there by a three year old.
  18. btw There's a REWARD for any FoMoCo employee who will get me a photo/drawing/description of the C557-Tracer ! ! ( even tho I fully expect my own design will be better - since I "GET" MERCURY ) Here you go.
  19. The comment (which is a joke) was in reference to the large amount of Toyota recalls as of late. I'm sure you noticed them. I'm not saying an electric care is more or less unsafe than a gasoline engine car. I'm sure electric cars are very safe as I have not seen many golfers getting killed on the golf course by them.
  20. Cool. I don't think there's been a Toyota recall for electrocuting people, so this will be a first.
  21. Look at the first drawings of the 2005 Mustang and the new Taurus. They looked goofy too, but evolved into very nice cars. The odds of this car looking completely like that are very slim.
