Replying to: poncho167 (Apr 13, 2007 1:35 pm) GM "makes money" on the Cobalt and its peers in that they keep GM from having to pay CAFE fines on the other cars they sell.

Replying to: mediapusher (Apr 14, 2007 12:27 am) The Cobalt is built in Ohio, but its replacement will be a version of the next-generation Daewoo Lacetti.

Replying to: mediapusher (Apr 14, 2007 12:54 am) Seats with support are not uncomfortable to us that dont have butts as wide as a double door entry to a house.   I think you have it just backward. The hard cardboard seats they are pushing off as sporty are built for our average citizen that has a fat cushy posterior. A fat rear end has its own built-in padding.   Cadillac built its reputation on plush cars with plush seats. I think it is a mistake to try and compete with automakers that strictly build sport sedans like BMW.   Of the new luxury SUVs I have checked out, the only seats that did not feel like they were cheap cardboard backed, was the Mercedes GL/ML. The 2007 Cadillac is headed that direction and the worst seats are in the 2007 Acura MDX. sorry Rocky. The nicest was the 2006 Escalade. Replies to this message: rockylee (Apr 14, 2007 7:24 am)

Replying to: mediapusher (Apr 14, 2007 12:21 am) Then explain the union labor that builds the Corollas, and have been since 1986. In fact, if you look at a Corolla sticker, it should say " Manufactured for Toyota by New United Motors, Fremont Ca." whereas a Camry will say "Manufactured by Toyota Motor, Lexington Ky" (I know, a technicality, but they are STILL union built) Replies to this message: poncho167 (Apr 15, 2007 5:14 am) bumpy (Apr 15, 2007 5:29 am) poncho167 (Apr 15, 2007 5:39 am)

Replying to: gagrice (Apr 14, 2007 5:20 am) The seats in the 2007' Escalade I have not sat in. I'll trust your judgement on comfort.   Rocky

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Apr 12, 2007 3:49 pm) GM can make good profits from small cars, just not in North America at the moment. Replies to this message: imidazol97 (Apr 14, 2007 9:53 am) aldw (Apr 14, 2007 10:38 am)

Replying to: aldw (Apr 14, 2007 9:32 am) Can you explain more about your thinking on the profitability in NA? Replies to this message: aldw (Apr 14, 2007 10:38 am)
