What's wrong with a few vents?

Those are Photoshops. I don't think the new design has been released yet. Those do like nice, though. I think most people expect it will look a lot like the Phaeton, but maybe with the front end from their concept cars (like the pictures above).

With 553 lb-ft of torque - at 2000 rpm. So I think it's got enough power to haul that huge badge around.

Hideous. Remember when BMW made clean, classic designs? That looks like a crappy, overdone bodykit. Might as well have a Pontiac badge on it.

Did you watch the video? The one guy was passing traffic in the right lane going 100mph. That's clowning around to you? They were weaving through cones, in a construction zone, on a public highway, in traffic. Granted, this was Worcester News, so since nobody got stabbed that day they had to...

Why do you think Kerry wouldn't "make a move"? Just curious, I find it interesting what different people think about Bush/Kerry.

No, the Cayenne is built in a brand new Porsche factory in Leipzig, Germany. The Touareg is built in the VW factory in Slovakia.

R32 is built at the VW plant in Slovakia, I believe. Touareg also.

So, you're saying it listed the United States as "final point of assembly" on the R32?

I agree, the G6 and the other new Pontiacs have a much better interior. I just don't understand why it took so long! It's almost like Pontiac WANTED to have crappy interiors that people made fun of, maybe thinking they were being "quirky" or cool or something. The fact remains they are trying...

I wouldn't go that far:

I'm not sure where you heard that, but there is no final assembly in the United States. The only Volkswagen plant in North America is in Pueblo, Mexico.

If your car is running better on 89 than 87, then there is something wrong with the car. The only reason it would run better on 89 is if you were getting detonation when running on 87, and that shouldn't be happening.

Convoluted mess, shiny plastic, absurd vents, Playschool buttons, etc. I admit that I've ALWAYS hated Pontiac interiors, I just thought maybe they would have tried a little harder on a car they are selling for $35k. Here's an even worse shot, if that is possible:

OK. 2005 Pontiac Bonneville GXP. $35,000. Has the Northstar V8. And THIS is what the interior looks like: AAGGGGHHHHH! Who the hell designed that!? Why do Pontiac interiors suck so much worse that any other car company? I wouldn't buy the car anyway, but seriously, who looks at that and say...

My 2003 Jetta Wagon was built in Germany (wagons are still built there for some reason). I have to say I'm glad it was, even though I'm not sure it really makes a difference.

One of this things that bit VW was bad suppliers - coil packs and window regulators being the biggest culprits. They also had some electrical problems that seemed to be worked out at this point. This is shown in the chart above - Ignition problems were related to the coil packs. Most of the...

If you have a lot of money in your car you should consider an "agreed value" policy. It's basically a policy that covers what your insurance company agrees is the "real" value of the car. It's more expensive than normal insurance, but can cover you in a loss.
