Replying to: deskman (Jul 02, 2008 6:34 am) I had a breakfast meeting this a.m. near one of the largest auto mega sites near my 'burg. As I was driving away, I noted that one of the dealerships had a huge sign out front "HUGE SALE ON HUGE GAS GUZZLERS". Gotta love it.

Replying to: graphicguy (Jul 02, 2008 7:54 am) i think you will see diesel hybrids coming from the usa and european brands. a diesel operates in a very narrow power curve that is ideal for a generator that produces electricity and run at a constant rpm you can eliminate 99.9999 % of the toxins produced. The big 3 aint going away anytime soon !!!!!! Trust the Deskman on this one boys and girls . |

Replying to: jkinzel (Jul 02, 2008 7:09 am) The Jetta TDI is on its way. Every dealer has already received a demo car - sedan with DSG. I took it home for a day, and I got 40 MPG for mixed city/freeway ride home, 12 miles commute. Right now I am pre-selling my allocation for the next 6 months - I am at the only dealership in SF Bay Area that doesn't markup to cars, so the business is going to be very good!  Mico |

Replying to: bvdj84 (Jul 02, 2008 7:07 am) I have to disagree. I have an 08 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited and I'm very happy with it. The quality is veyr good. This is my first Jeep, but I've heard from other owners that the 08s are much much better than the 07s. So there's hope. Having said that, my brother in Norway was looking at a Patriot. He was dissapointed about it. It didn't have a lot of the features that other similar cars there (Xenon, blue tooth, some mechanical things that I can't remember, etc.). So they aren't out of the woods yet.

Replying to: bvdj84 (Jul 02, 2008 7:07 am) LOL, on last night's local news, they had a family of 5 on and the guy says, "We decided to buy a Camry because of the high gas prices. Oh we're still keeping the Suburban, but for normal around the town driving, I couldn't afford the gas in the Suburban."
