Sixt9coug Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 It sounds on the high side of the pricing scale and that bugs me a little. Id consider one in the 34K range, but 37 is over my limit. Ok ok, i HATE to bring it up, but what about the G8? 360 hp, and i cant believe AWD makes up for the 7K difference in price. I think the SHO looks GREAT, but if it was a couple thousand less it would be just about perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the SHO looks GREAT, but if it was a couple thousand less it would be just about perfect. The G8 is certainly a bargain, but is it sustainable at that pricing? There are two sides to pricing: what the consumer will be willing to pay and what profit the manufacturer is trying to make. I really don't see how the G8 could possibly be making GM a dime. Even if it's a bargain for the consumer, that's not a way to sustain a business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveTaurus Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 but station wagons are dead Not disagree with you! I really not sure, why they are going to make the Accord wagon and Camry wagon (Venza)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickF1011 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 were there not rumours of it being dis-continued? if so moot point...... The rumors that were circulating only made mention of something along the lines of "somewhere down the road". It didn't sound like any cancellation was imminent, even based on the rumors.

fordmantpw Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Pretty sure the Hyundai Genesis is the direct competitor there, and it costs more... :shades: But no, the Genesis is a Lincoln competitor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordmantpw Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 ...funnily enough the Flex is NOT veiwed as a station wagon...weird....and that is from customers... Agreed. My wife wouldn't dare look at the Taurus X because it is a station wagon. She now drives a Flex... Go figure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron W. Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 ....IMO wagons have gone the way of the Minivan.... And yet we have the "Flex" with the capabilities of the "mini-van" and yet (in my opinion) looks like a goofy station wagon. :shades: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Reynolds Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Toyota declined to enter the Venza in the SUV of year competition, but will enter it in the Car of the year nominee! That may tell you guys something! :shrug: p.s. Sorry! I was off topic; they were talking about SHO. And I added in the Venza. Well, it is pretty fast at 6.7sec to 60! Which award? Do you have a link?

LoveTaurus Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) Miss read! :poke: God! Sorry! Toyota wanted to enter it in the car of the year competition! The last sentence said, "Motor Trend decided that the Venza should not compete in any competition at all since its ride height is too high to be qualified as a car." en.wikipedia.org; not a dependable source!

RichardJensen Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 hate to do this...anyone want to explain Uranus? Although not observed in antiquity, Bode argued that the name of Uranus should follow classical naming conventions. Saturn, the sixth planet was named after the father of Jupiter (the fifth planet), and in turn the seventh planet was named after Uranus, the father of Saturn. The planet Uranus is a gas giant with a near perpendicular inclination of its axis to the plane of its orbit. Where the Earth's axial tilt is 23.5 degrees, Uranus' axial tilt is 97.8 degrees. It takes Uranus 86 years to complete one orbit of the sun. It is surrounded by a very faint ring system and is the smallest of the 'gas giants'. It is also a near twin in size and composition of the planet Neptune, although Neptune appears to be a far more active planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 1. Speaking of Venza, I thought I was the only one who saw it as a answer to Edge which was a answer to Murano. Who Knew? :shrug: 2. As for the SHO, will it only be available in limited numbers like SHOs of old? 3. I am surprised people are thinking $37 is high for a SHO considering I would never see that here regardless of the value of the CAD/US dollar.
