Actually, I would love to have one of those NAZI high-roller tandem-axle limos that you see in the old WWII programs.

Yes, I also think the refound 65 Impala was good.

#24087 of 32000 iPhone Vs. Samsung Galaxy Tech Question by bwia

Apr 27, 2012 (10:25 am)

Sorry to interrupt but I posted in this in the LaCrosse forum but traffic there is light so I am hoping to get a better response here.
 
I lost my cell phone and I am in the market for a replacement. I am considering the iPhone 4 S and the Samsung Galaxy S II. Both phones seem very attractive and are available at a discounted upgrade price on the AT&T network. However, I am leaning toward the iPhone.
 
My questions are: does the iPhone 4S work as advertised? For example, can I really start my LaCrosse from a remote location? And if I use the Siri function does the audio go through the car speakers? And finally, are there any Bluetooth integration problems synchronizing the iPhone to the car?
 
On the other hand the graphics in the android-based Galaxy S II is great indoors but I am not sure how it holds up in direct sunlight. Also, how trouble-free is the Galaxy? Are there any Gremlins out there frustrating users? And how trouble-free are the apps on the open source android platform?
 
Any and all comments are much appreciated.

I'll give my 2 cents...
 
I can't answer your specific questions, but I can definitely say that the iPhone is going to give you the widest and most possible functionality, simply because it's pretty much the defacto cellphone standard. Most applications will be available on an iPhone before any other phone.
 
I would think the Buick web site should have some info on it as to what functions are available "app-wise", as well as a list of certified and tested cellphones that work via Bluetooth on Buicks. Try giving it a shot...

Good luck!

Did not realize that this commercial was on youtube. Thanks for link.
 
This ad should have appealed across a number of generations. Youngsters to parents to grandparents.

The only place I'd expect to see "puffing" is in the WWE, or some other asinine sport.
 
Speaking of asinine sports, I saw my first "live" Roller Derby last weekend. I expected it to be hokey, and it was to an extent, but still fun to watch.

Yep! That's the one!
 
I wonder how many liters/100KM it rated, not that any despot that owns such a vehicle could care....
