I had Mobil 1 75w-90 in the Aisin box in my Jeep and it shifted just as well as it does with the MT-90 that's in there now. The only reason I changed it is because I heard that for my MY transmission, you shouldn't use GL-5 fluid. It's still pretty rough, but I don't think the stock fluid was...

I loved the G6 when it was new, but the new Fusion looks quite awesome. I've yet to sit in one let alone drive one, but from all the shots I've seen I think I would love it. It might be second hybrid I'd actually consider. The only other was the old Honda Insight. Probably the only modern Honda...

Originally Posted By: eljefino I'd get an Impala 3.9 for its insane power, room, and economy or, if they made it, an Astra diesel. American brand at least. I love this engine in my 2006 Monte Carlo. It's smooth, quiet, but has a nice rush of power when you put your foot down. I used to really...

Originally Posted By: pbm A Regal is a Century with more features and the 3.8 instead of the 3.1 engine. I know the Century/Regal is an 'old mans' car but they were reliable, comfortable and economical. I have an 02' Century and it is just as good as my 01' Accord. It's refreshing to hear from...

Originally Posted By: PT1 moderator removed made-up comment Jeez. Every thread that even mentions GM and you're on about your truck that made a little noise at start up but is probably in the hands of some happy new owner running great. You don't like them. I get it.

Can't imagine why you'd be using Red Line if you're "frugal".

I spotted an Opel dealer last time I was in Germany and decided to go in and have a look at the Insignia. It's a gorgeous car and I think will make an excellent addition to the Buick lineup. Of all the cars GM has brought over from overseas, the Insignia is one of the best! I hope that it looks...

I can't speak for the 3.5L Challenger because I've never driven one, but I've been in the higher end models and I think the interior is just fine...

Originally Posted By: fdcg27 The average Honda buyer wouldn't be caught dead in a Malibu. I won't even bother driving one prior to buying my next new Accord, probably within the next year or so. In this case, we can only hope you won't talk about how much better your Honda is, when you won't...

This thread is a joke.

I really can't believe they're going to put a 4 cylinder in that, especially considering the comparatively [censored] fuel economy it gets.

If there is anyone I'm going to shed a tear for, it certainly isn't Toyota and the protectionist government they have working for them. Dear Toyota: Get Bent.

A coworker has the Camry Hybrid and while I'll admit its a pretty nice car, it seems like whenever I'm in it the dash readout is always in the low 30's, seen it in high 20's, as well. For all the extra cost, IMO, not that great. If the Ford can live up to its 41 mpg claims, it *might* be worth...
