Your 2008 Lancer vs. my 1997 SVT Cobra converitable for pink slips. Your just a punk driving a girls car. Think you can get the title fro your mommy so we can race. I would like to drive the Lancer in our local demo-durby.

Oh crap...if Lane Bryant goes under, I'm sure it'll take the entire fabric industry industry with it.
 
Wish you hadn't posted this. I was drinking coffee when I read it. Now I have to clean my keyboard.

And, no, I'm not a grandparent nor do I place bumper stickers or tacky accessories on any of my vehicles
 
It's great to know that GM will always have at least one customer.

If your job ever goes in to the crapper you may want to consider a career in comedy. You are seriously the funniest guy on here.
 
I'm serious as cancer, your posts are hilarious

lemko: I can immediately see where the CTS is a better car than either of those austere, unreliable, and overpriced cars.
 
The 3-Series is available in a wider variety of bodystyles, and has an established reputation and pedigree. Plus, the CTS hasn't exactly earned a reputation as the reliability champ, and new ones with the direct-injection engine have an annoying vibration that is designed into the car.
 
I can understand why people would like the CTS, but the bottom line is that every one I've seen on the road - including the new version - is being driven by someone who looks like a traditional Cadillac customer. Which tells me that it is cannibilizing sales from other GM cars - Cadillacs in particular - rather than conquesting them from other brands. Which, at this point, is what GM desperately needs.

I drove a new 2009 CTS this week and I don't think the CTS will appeal to the traditional Cadillac buyer as the feel of the car is definitely more European than American. It definitely felt different than my DTS and I'm just not talking size. Apparently, I made the right choice by purchasing the DTS as it has the ride to which I am more accustomed in my cars.

I love the guys who after 1 breakthrough model now view it as the champion of the world. Laughable at best.
 
Typically, this is why GM is flat lining. The 3-series has a legacy the CTS has Cimmaron. Big difference. Caddy means not much anymore. Sad but true.

The CTS isn't even remotely related to the Cimmaron. The only legacy a 3-Series leaves anybody is a lifetime of debt that will probably be inherited by the deceased owner's children.

Your GDP numbers are inflated because they're made by a UAW member, aren't they?
 
You obviously didn't watch the video I posted ???? It says right in their that the domestic automobile industry accounts for 4% of our GDP !!!
 
The bailout is dead. I agree with gagrice on this one. Dead. Done. Cya-Nara. Cya-woudn't want to have ever been ya. Over. And out.
 
As will either your job or your wages will be cut due to a large amount of respiratory therapist from the midwest without jobs because millions of people have lost their jobs and will bankrupt the hospitals up here and not only that they will be willing to do your job for a meal and a shower !!! The ripple effect will destroy this country economically. You think it's bad now in the U.S. let the Big 3 die and watch what millions of desperate people will do !!!
 
rockylee...is it true that Chev really wants $46,995 for the 2010 Chevy Volt? Please tell me that's an Internet misnomer, man.
 
I have read it will cost somewhere between $30-$40K but Uncle Sam, is going to give you a $7500 tax break !!! Nobody said state of the art technology was going to be cheap !!! It will get cheaper like anything else as volume goes up and the R&D expenses have been paid for. I would gladly pay $40K with a $7500 tax break to never have to run conventional gasoline in my car again and support the middle east !!!
