Since I had an Intrtigue and my brother a Grand Prix (which never had something like a "twin dual cam") and can tell you that they drove the same and all metal on the inside was identical, including the A pillar. Sure, the engines felt different, but they were the only effective difference between them.

Please, answer me this: were the Buick Regal, the Olds Intrigue and the Pontiac Grand Prix the same car or not? How are they different from the Buick Verano, the Chevy Cruze and the Opel Astra?

Dude, the Cruze is an Astra for 3rd-world countries...

Tell it that I had to rush to the restroom to retch at a dressed up Cruze.

Yeah, VW now has decontented some models for 3rd-world countries without IRS...

No, I think that it's got it since the previous generation, the Mk. 5.

Hooning includes driving with precision which on public roads means staying on your lane, especially around blind corners.

Ever heard of the Saturn Astra? No? It's because it flopped bit time.

Because Diesel is a fuel that dilutes the soul.

Because a couple of years ago the sales of the Saturn Astra were discontinued.

It was sold in the US as the Saturn Astra and was a big flop.

#5: typical GM mediocrity, using a torsion beam while its main rivals, the Golf and the Focus, have a multilink setup.

I thought that May had confessed to being sartorially challenged...

I'd like to see how many of those 7000+ 200 were sold to rental fleets though.

#1: Why it's the GM way! Why did anyone think that the new GM wasn't but the old one after a defib shock? Make no mistake, it has no heart and it'll stop again for the same reason. I just hope that America is wiser then and lets it fold and it should have.

I love the Z8, but over $90000 is definitely a crackpipe. Or maybe it's already attained the classic status that I suspected it already had when new.

More like the 407.

Indeed, a rip off from this, a rip off from that... But just what the heck are those ribs on both sides of the hood??? I guess that only a Klingon would approve of them.

It's OK, there'll always be angry yuppy-wannabes to buy whatever BMW makes.
