I don't know Vik, they're both butt-ugly to me.  I don't care how much money I'd save driving either of those 2 "thangs", my testosterone would scream bloody murder due to the influx of estrogen those cars would induce.  I think lasz would call it, "emasculation brought on by climate change" syndrome.





Ahhh, yeah.  That's much better.

Beg for forgives before the ban. Ignoring the skuzzinator is bad.

The center console looks like a transformers face logo.

Why'd sig's posts get deleted?  I was just thinking man that font is a lot easier to read.

Of course, if he was told to quit doing something, then... yea.  Or maybe his font looks different on MSIE than whatever browser other people are using.

Anyhow...  Just wondering.

Ctrl+mouse wheel scroll is what it's commonly mapped to, I think.

Exactly!  MT are the potatos of the auto world.  Its fairly well known that the Car/Truck of the year is for sale to the highest bidder.  Automobile and Car & Driver are far better magazines.

No it isn't!  It's a freakin' doorstop with wheels. The Camaro hasn't looked good since the early '70's.

Shelby has had he formula for years... except for the Chrysler crap he lent his name to in the 80's...

you guys have EVO magazine stateside? best mag in europe (well in english anyway), and they've been ****listed a few times by Ferrari and Aston for honest reviews :aok

CTS interior is niice (a bit too much fake alloy on the console though), different rims and colour for the exterior and it could look sweet too. anyone driven one? the last version was suppose to be pretty good.

dont get me started on the Prius ... :rolleyes:

Not a car i would choose, but it doesnt look bad at all. Ill never ever buy anything that isnt a stationwagon but for a sedan it looks roomy and comfortable.

Fuel consumption, build quality and rust protection are the 3 top things id like to know about that car, and does it come as a stationwagon?.
