Bling overkill never infiltrate European cars because continental europeans find them tacky and corny. It's not a matter of reputation alone, its a matter of taste. I've heard a lot of comments from Europeans regarding the new Cadillacs (particularly the CTS), and the said the designs are actually nice and distinctive, but the chrome bathing kills all the appeal. |

Replying to: bpizzuti (Jul 08, 2009 2:25 am)  Not a fan of Motorweek (dry, blah, lifeless automotive reviews IMO), but they had a review of the new Fusion hybrid this week. Wow, 0-60 in a very respectable 7.9 seconds and returns 41/39? along with bluetooth, Navi, leather, moonroof, and a really cool backlit LED dash. I think that car just jumped to the top of my list if I were buying a midsize family sedan/commuter. Only thing I would change would be the dull looking alloys... Ford did a bang up job with it

Replying to: anythngbutgm (Jul 08, 2009 4:34 am) Well it's public television, whaddya expect?! That 0-60 in 7.9 seconds catches my attention, though, and is a nice complement to the 41/39. I definitely like the Fusion, and if I was in the market for a new car, it would probably be one of my top considerations. I'd probably just go with the 4-cyl though, as I don't log enough miles to warrant a hybrid, IMO.

Saw article in WSJ recently that said: GM had to choose between 3 plants to mfr new compact: WISC, TENN, MICH. GM decided on existing GM plant in Michigan rather than use TENN plant that has state of art painting process/facility costing hundreds of millions. MICH plant will have to be updated with this new painting process. Union and Mich Dems being paid back for their Obama support. Tenn has 2 Republican Senators. UAW agreed to starting pay of $14/hr vs $28/hr standard for building this new compact car. New car will be out as 2011 model and will be lucky to break even. --- Do we taxpayers have any chance at all of GM paying us back.
