Replying to: ateixeira (Feb 19, 2008 10:29 am) This is another of USNews' great ideas: cull reviews from magazines / newspapers / whereever, and combine them into a single cardinal ranking. Just like they do for college / law school rankings. It's not them doing the rating, it's others. They're just putting it all together under some secret-special-sauce-weighting system. And if you think this particular ranking is controversial, google U.S. News law school rankings controversy ... |

Replying to: bobw3 (Feb 20, 2008 12:08 pm) Yeah, and could you actually open the doors and get in one hoser0eh?

Replying to: baggs32 (Feb 20, 2008 2:14 pm) I didn't go to the Toronto show, but I went to the Chicago show, and you couldn't open them there, so I doubt it. Production can't be too far away, though (I've heard June).

Replying to: ateixeira (Feb 20, 2008 8:33 am) I take it you're not an MT fan. People talk about them a lot. I really don't complain; I read MT because they always have the latest info (well, behind Edmunds, but before any other magazine). I'm not a huge CR fan either. If I read CR, it's for amusement in a doctor's office- just to hear their oppinion on whatever vehicle they're testing. I would never go off them to buy a car, but that's just because I already know so much about cars, and like to do a lot of test driving. For someone who isn't as in to the automotive world, CR could be a decent source to use. And I think everybody does turning circle.

Replying to: albook (Feb 20, 2008 3:07 pm) That's what I'm assuming too. Our show here isn't until late April this year (it's a decent sized show but not major by any stretch of the imagination) so I'm crossing my fingers that they put one on the floor for all to see since JOB1 is scheduled for April 7th. I'm also hoping to see the new Volvo XC60 in a color other than the one Volvo is showing in it's newly released production pictures. I like it but it looks a little odd shaped in that color to me.

Replying to: baggs32 (Feb 20, 2008 5:46 pm) You never know; the Hyundai Genesis was sitting right on the floor in Chicago. I was suprised. Although, I do think if you want an experience like that, you might have to go to a major autoshow, not just your local city's. I really think if you want to get a general idea, sit in a TX. I can't imagine what ford could have done to really differentiate the two, although if they want anything resembling success, it better be something amazing. |

| I am really curious on why the Acadia is not listed on the safety rating on IIHS web site. Knowing that the vehicle has been out since 2007, I am not understanding why they wouldn't have it listed. Although i noticed the GMC Yukons were not either. I saw Acadias good ratings on Safercar.gov so that is reassuring but am a little concerned about why not on the other site. | |

Replying to: baggs32 (Feb 20, 2008 2:14 pm) Yeah, and could you actually open the doors and get in one hoser0eh? I quite liked the Flex. It looked interesting and different. My wife did not like it though. Couldn't look inside or open doors. Same with the Volvo. It looked fabulous. However, it might not be as practical inside as the Flex, due to it's curvy shape.
