Replying to: tomcatt630 (Jul 13, 2009 5:08 pm) The cup holder stereotype I think of is an Angeleno [person from Los Angeles] trying to multi-task while sitting in the parking lots they call 'freeways'.    Other is suburbanite sitting in an SUV in a fast-food drive-thru, just to get an ice creme cone or frapaccino. All while "multi-tasking".   I learned while piloting my POS hand-me-down K-car sans cup holder that it was easier to eat the 2 McDonalds cheeseburgers meal than the Big Mac meal on the way to LA after the Kannan Rd stop. I also learned that I need to start gathering steam from the point I got back on the freeway to make it up the far side of the Conejo valley into Agoura Hills.   I have mostly amended my ways since those days.

I'm kind of leaning toward something along the lines of a certified CTS or the '10 LaCrosse for my next purchase. The Buick is on my short list.

I've learned that, with age, I'm not nearly as good at that kind of multitasking, period! Back when I was 22, I had no trouble piloting a '68 Dart V-8 with a loose suspension and disabled power steering while wolfing down almost anything. But now, at the age of 37 38 oh, let's just say "30-something" I have trouble eating and driving even in today's much more precise cars.

Replying to: cooterbfd (Jul 13, 2009 5:07 pm) One thing not to like about the new LaCrosse is the trunk is miniscule. The competition has it beat by a lot. The Taurus is 20 cubic foot and the LaCrosse is only 12.8 Cu ft. I would look at what Ford has to offer before I jumped too high. Replies to this message: cooterbfd (Jul 14, 2009 12:57 pm)

Replying to: fintail (Jul 13, 2009 11:34 am) I dunno; it's nice to have something to drink after an hour or two of driving without having to pull over and dig under the seats for the water bottle that went flying at the first sharp turn. I suppose it depends on the type of driving one does.

Replying to: iwant12 (Jul 13, 2009 4:12 pm) I have yet to drive one, but I really like it. It makes my girlfriend's 2005 LaCrosse look OLD!!!If there wasn't so much life left in the current car and the economy wasn't so crappy, we'd definately would buy it. I told my girlfriend if she really takes care of it and doesn't wreck it, her '05 LaCrosse will last at least as long as my '88 Park Avenue.

Replying to: torque_r (Jul 12, 2009 7:10 pm) The Chevy Caprice has been sold in the Middle East for years, based on the Aussie Holden, and now it is coming here   Torque, how is it any different when the ME Caprice and Pontiac G8 are both rebadged Holden Commodore? There's nothing new besides cosmetics and badge (okay if you're pushing it the Commodore has steering wheel on the right).
