TH, It's so hard to believe computers and the models made have taken over. There doesn't seem to be any common sense used anymore. Except shorting GM stock. <vbg>

>>Yea, pretty pathetic really. Re GM: I have owned 5 Saturn's, and they have all been good cars... #1 I damaged by running up on a concrete median... #2 Got 235k miles... and got traded for #3 Which is still running just fine... which led to #4 which I traded out of before the CVT transmission could blow up on me (too many horror stories I read about... but worked fine for me) which got traded for #5 Which is running just fine. #3 is an Ion stick which gets 35 mpg and #5 is a Vue automatic, 28 mpg. However, Saturn is (was) the only GM product I would buy, and its definitely now a "different kind of car company", a dead one. Now GM is touting the Volt (the Oy gaVolt?). And this product/company is shaping up to be their competition: news.bbc.co.uk Which one do you think I will consider buying? GM appears to be past the point of innovation. Their best innovating subsidiary (and then division) IMHO was Saturn, and that's gone... and Saturn did nothing like what BYD is doing. TH, can you supply BYD?
