Replying to: kdhspyder (Oct 19, 2007 9:31 pm) Spyder, speaking of "accuracy", the IIHS link you provided shows the "Classic" GMT800's, not the GMT900's. Might want to read more carefully, or less selectively.

Replying to: drfill (Oct 20, 2007 4:28 am) I KNOW a domestic fan isn't commenting on quality.   You "know" nothing Doc. You simply have an opinion, which is biased and flawed.   How do I define quality? 1. 25+ years of driving GM's with ZERO major issues or breakdowns. Many vehicles driven well over 100K miles, some 200K+. 2. Compare the build quality between the new Tundra and the GMT900's sometime. Look at the interior materials used and the finish (Even Fisher Price doesn't paint their plastic parts). Look at sheet metal gauge used, panel gaps, frame design/construction.   Quality does NOT mean throwing a high HP, fancy DOHC engine with questionable camshafts and a fancy problematic 6 spd tranny into a cheaply built, riveted together truck and proclaiming superiority because it's "fast". Not gonna fly in this market, sorry.   This is my opinion, beleive what you want, and I'll beleive what I want and in time (not 1st year sales of first offering), we'll see how many buyers agree with me and how many agree with you.

Replying to: anythingbuttoy (Oct 20, 2007 6:19 am) Yeah, Spyder!      Can we at least watch them flaunt their 2nd-rate image before you bash them for it?       What's that all about?      DrFill Replies to this message: anythingbuttoy (Oct 20, 2007 6:31 am)

Replying to: drfill (Oct 20, 2007 6:28 am) You mean like Tundra's 2nd rate image in the NHTSA tests and the new CR report?

Replying to: drfill (Oct 20, 2007 6:35 am) Ahh, I see, basing opinions of a brand new completely redesigned 2007 Tundra on 2004 CR article. That makes sense!!! What's the matter, the new CR reports aren't in your favor? LOL Replies to this message: drfill (Oct 20, 2007 7:13 am) anythingbuttoy (Oct 20, 2007 12:49 pm)

Replying to: drfill (Oct 20, 2007 4:28 am) Ya know what's even more ironic....the source for that comment is the 'Scourge of Detroit', 'the most unethical and biased group on the planet', 'the rag that Toyota has in its back pocket'.....   CONSUMER REPORTS !!!!!!!!!!   The world has turned upside down. Gotta love it.
