I don't blame you, I could think of a few people right now that would be banned (I'm sure you could guess which ones) quickly if I were a moderator, and I'd like to think I'm usually pretty patient and/or lenient in most situations. That said, the select few (again, who many of you could likely guess easily) haven't exactly been perfect little posters either, IMO, and I'm sure some would agree with me.

Are you sure that's the cinnamon color? I thought the cinnamon was the brownish color, which I've seen.

That's funny. I wonder what the person who noticed that thought? Hopefully it wasn't a customer, that would've been embarassing.

I guess they're not horrible, but as you said, they're not my taste either. I don't like how the rear has 2 rows of chrome strips while the sides only have 1 row of chrome strips.

I agree.

So you got rid of the Volvo?

They have a flareside on the new Tundra? I didn't know that, it must be hideous, just like the normal truck. I havent' ever seen one, ive seen the old flareside, and yuck.

Good eye. I think the flareside's wheel well/flare looks strange when compared to the front wheel well/flare. I don't like how the front one has the indent at the top of the flare, while the rear doesn't. It doesn't match.

My dad had a white 97 flareside Lariat F-150. It was by far the best looking flareside Ford has ever made, IMO.

I think it may just be the camera flash affecting the way the b/c pillar looks. I know the current F-150 has a similar finish (or at least they did for like 06) as this appears to be, and it's not that light.

Actually, the FWD Flex is 17/24, while the AWD model is 16/22. As you said, many that will buy a Flex will be downsizing from Expeditions, etc., where the Flex get's the Expy's highway mileage in the city.

I didn't think of that, yes, it would be a good way for the Chinese to get into the American market.

Yup, that was one of them I think, our Suzuki Verona for a while. (discontinued) There were also rebadged Aveos as Pontiac Waves. I'm sure there were more.

I'm curious, I've heard the term used before in an Escape review and now in your post read it again, but what are wheel spoilers?

Maybe he makes them?

Looks good to me.

I too hope it'll do well, and I think it will. I could see many companies switching over to the TC for light delivery use.

At the same time though, having a new vehicle could help maintain marketshare since you have the newest offering, thus possibly enticing more buyers to pull the purchase trigger.

Actually GM will be buying Volvo.

Well at the same time, why is the V name not used on the C30, unless I guess it's considered a hatch.

Yeah, I can see a slight Saab influence in the front end.

One thing I noticed while in Montreal a few months ago is many (of our) Suzukis are badged as either Chevys or Pontiacs up there.

Yes, I'll agree with you on that.

I would agree with you completely. Personally, I liked the GTO's design, especially when they added the 6.0 and the dual split exhaust for 06(?), but as you said there was nothing that stood out about it. That along with the fact that it's design wasn't exactly "GTO" material....well, you know how the GTO turned out.
