Re: Mustang leads Forbes poll

Plenty of cars that are coming out soon are not so cool, and we didn't cover them here. For example, Buick's new LaCrosse sedan looks more hip than your typical Buick, but one reader astutely points out that "the mechanicals are a good 15 years from being current: a four-speed transmission and a pushrod [read: old-fashioned] engine making not quite 53 hp per liter." (Compare this to, say, the Acura TSX sedan, a competitor that makes 83 hp per liter.)
Yet they don't mention that the 3800 is a SULEV and it puts out more power and gets just as good gas milage as the Acura

But they are right, the 4 speed autos need to go, their time is up.

That's sick, gm makes $178 per vehicle while toyota makes $1, 742 per vehicle. Sorry this is off the topic but why does GM make so little compared to japanese companies??
