OT somewhat.....

I don't know Jim. The Buick Le Sabre now has a $4k rebate
& Consumer Reports likes it. I love the effortless power
of that 205 HP, sequential port fuel injection, 3.8L v-6.
And it really gets 30 mpg on the highway too. We've owned
a GM vehicle with various generations of that v-6 for 20+
yrs & it is a rock solid performer. I have yet to find any
similar sized car that comes close to the great blend of
power & fuel economy.

I rented the new Le Sabre for two weeks when I drove to TX
a year ago. I thought it was solid, quiet & had a soft but
sure footed ride. We love our Olds Intrigue (1st cousin of
the Le Sabre). Before that, we had a Regal, preceded by a
Grand Prix, preceded by another Regal.

Each successive generation of that v-6 allowed GM to
increase the power, fuel economy & size of their cars. And
we observed the steady improvement in overall quality that
went from clearly inferior to what is now quite close to
the quality from Japan (albeit still 2nd).

With the rebates available now, give me a Le Sabre or
Regal from Buick - or the Impala (1st cousin from Chevy) -
or a Pontiac Grand Prix (another 1st cousin).
