  1. How is it that people can be out on American roads and not know that the car can't speed up if the transmission isn't engaged? This Sikes fellow that sped up to 90 mph never ONCE thought to disengage the transmission by slipping it into neutral?
  2. Sorry to hear that he passed, but when I read the title, all I could think of was the scene from The Hangover when they're on they're way to Vegas and Allan says "Rain Man practically bankrupted a casino and he was a rah-tard".
  3. I like it. Especially the exaggerated hood scoop that has the fangs. Nice touch. I assume that was on purpose.
  4. Why does it say the Silverado features VVT on the 4.8 and 5.3? I thought that was just announced that they were adding it soon.
  5. Link The article doesn't specifically say it will add horsepower, but do you think the 6.2 will be up to Camaro and Corvette power levels in the truck?
  6. The wait is over. That's good news and a load off my mind. I wasn't expecting 315 HP like earlier speculation, so I'm glad that it isn't under 295. I wonder if power will be bumped with a higher octane?
  7. I kind of like it. From the little I can see in the teaser shot, there's a kink that looks like a fender slit just after the front wheels. It made me think four-door viper. Pick up that theme and run with it and it might be pretty cool looking.
  8. The Catera led to the CTS, so I don't see their rationale.
  9. The more RWD coupes the better.
  10. This bad news just keeps compounding for Toyota.
  11. Just saw the new ad for the SRX and I thought it was funny how they used a French band to promote their American product.
  12. I've never heard of the Grange. I'm headed to wikipedia.
  13. Get rid of the chromed grills. And please don't send them to Europe. They hate us enough already.
  14. How about "The last car you'll ever buy (because you'll probably die within the next five years, so what the hell?)."
  15. How about "Firerside Song" by Genesis
  16. The neighbor had a 1993 and one of my friends almost bought one with racing stripes. Then he went to proctology school. Ba dum dum. :beatdeadhorse:
  17. I've got a 2009 SES automatic and I've averaged 29 mpg mixed driving.
  18. I'm there with you. As a soon to be college graduate I'd have no problem driving a V6 with that much power.
  19. He's a fan of diesels and he's calling GM consumers idiots? I like the guy already. Diesels are fuel efficient both in the city and on the highway plus they're cheaper and less complicated than hybrids. The only people that would buy the volt would be those who hate going to gas stations and only drive 40 miles a day plus have expendable income.
  20. I remember seeing that article, the V6 is an aluminum block iirc so proabably lighter than the V8, but as quick as an M3 I don't know. Maybe I'm imagining things but I remember reading speculation of turbo whine coming from the car.
  21. Maybe it's a dig at Dodge and their inflated LX platform as in "That sure is one big tub o' Charger."
  22. I think that's what it'll be. Just like Hyundai's figures for the Turbo 4 go from 210 on 87 to 220 on 91.
