Firstly, how on earth is an Envoy/Trailbalzer going to be more competent offroad than the Blazer of old (Which wasn't that competent in the frist place) IIRC they ditched the solid axles for independent suspension, sounds like a mumsy wagon dressed like an SUV to me.
Im pretty sure I didn't say that.

Anyway the XLR and Viper are completely different cars, the Viper is a track-day monster and a modern-day AC Cobra 427, the XLR is a posers roadster. There are also many places that'll let you explore the limits of anycar, they're called autocourses (Or racetracks if you will), that's what cars like the Viper were made to go on.
Do you think the Viper is worth 100 grand?Tell me why if you think so.And also explain to me why the XLR is a posers Roadster.But you have to pay to use racetracks.Why buy a 100,000 dollar car if you have you pay more to use the power.Doesn't make sense.

Ecotecs are decently reliable, but will never set the world on fire, a Honda or Toyota engine with VVT/DOHC VTEC (Such as the K20A and the B18C) is more reliable and performs better, while the 2.4 Turbo in the SRT4 is also better built and better-performing. My point is that the ECOTEC is behind the times.
Its funny you say that.LOL.I received an email this morning.Remember my buddy with the SRT-4?Yea,well his head gasket went last night.Didn't realize it until he got almost home and the engine died.Are the really as reliable as you claim them to be?I will agree that Honda and Toyota engines are very reliable.As well as the Ecotecs.

If the STS is anything as good as the CTS then I don't doubt that it'll be better than a 300C, but at the end of the day it's still ugly and I still wouldn't buy one on the basis that I like cars with simple rounded lines, not a series of ruled lines that go absolutely nowhere.
The STS and CTS are both worlds better than the 300C NO doubt.And you made a mistake in your post,YOU think the STS is ugly.In April i was at the New York International Auto Show and there was this massive crowd of well over 100 people with their eyes glued to the STS.They can't be that ugly if Cadillac is having trouble manufacturing the demand for the car.I personnely think the car is beautiful and ten times nicer than the 300(which has no rounded lines which you claim to love on a car) that looks like a box.
