Thread: Fritz: US taxpayer money could help fix Opel!

You can't honestly think that the safety standards will change so much in one year that the weight savings of carbon fiber and aluminum would be null. They basically want to shave 500lbs off of the current GS, and I truly think that is attainable.   ~~~

revithigh: Yea, man getchoo is like 15yrs old, he even said "light as a weather" instead of saying light as a feather.  give the kid a break.  He gets some good input occasionally. I got a chance to drive a GS460 and i loved the V8 power and finesse.  I also drove a 2008 IS250 and that was slow, and very underpowered.  Having an IS engine as a base engine for the GS is a huge risk that...

The kind that thinks they are better than everyone else because their car costs more.  

Let's look at the competitors: Infiniti M Lexus GS Audi A6 BMW 5-Series And (the best for last) Mercedes E-class Really how do you compete?   ----------------------------------------

The all ne Equinox!!!!  If I were a betting guy I would have guessed the first generation Equinox would have died on the vine and then he name would be changed.  Instead it ran 4 model years and was then made all new!!!!  Yay!  That is what GM needs to do more often, in fact I thogt the Equinox could have ran one more model year honestly...  For once, by not letting it doe on the vine, it actually...

Its on the web for anyone to watch.

nell_z: ^^^Don't avoid my question LC..... Brown_Pride: I actually didn't get it lol.   No lie! I'm likin' the newer Caddys but definitely prefer the competition. Plus, I'd never buy a GM. But from a design aspect the newer Caddys are pretty cool looking. I wonder if they break as much as my dad's SRX did. The only people I know of to have Caddy's are my neighbor (Escalade ESV and CTS) and my...

AC makes a diesel ATV? why wasn't i informed on this...  

Bellanca5.0: That doesn't seem too appealing for the base engine in a car this size. lord humongous: maybe they have seen how well bmw's weak sauce poser mobile 525i/528i has done and want to emulate. Bellanca5.0: Haha, that's a possibility. I'm sorry but if I'm paying north of $40K for a car it better have around 300hp as the base. Icer: It's actually not an uncommon thing for luxury sedans costing over $40k to...
