too bad GM is completely fucked business-wise, theyve been on the downward spiral for decades now for bad structuring and making lots of empty promises to thier workers

ill tell you what, if GM survives the baby-boomer retirement tidal wave here in the us, i would be happy to buy a GM car and help em make the recovery[/quote:00910]

They will declare bankruptcy in order to axe all the pensions they are paying out right now. FOR every GM sold, about 3000 $ on average go toward pension plans. Imports are not experiencing this issue because they do not have nearly as many on pension plans and such. BUT their time will come.

thats what you get for making empty promises and thinking youll get away with it i guess, just sucks for all those workers, and even worse, for all of us who have yet to enter the workforce who will have no social security besides whatever we save for ourselves

fuckin baby boomers mad:

The Union's pushed to hard. Lower pensions would have meant a more stable GM. They will pay the price for their own greed to be honest. GM workers have always been payed well + massive benefits + massive pensions...HOW hard is it to put 25 $ a week into a RRSP ?

...just in case no one already knew that

i like the trippy comercial, but still wouldnt be caught dead in the driver's seat of one, even tho pontiacs have the muscle, thier bad rep and brand name is enough to keep even the sluttiest of sluts out of the passenger seat

I like my Mazdaspeed Miata's interior. Simple, clean, and nice to look at. Im personaly interested in what features, details, and materials make the interior superior. (gg ryme masta)

It does look ok, but i fucking hate those inset bezeled gauges that everone uses these days. Theres alot of empty space and the radio looks cheap. Really cheap. Room for improvment definantly, but better than alot these days. i'll stick with my Miatas though.

miatas are fucking sweet ass cars. Id rather one a miata over the solstice any day.

gtboys34 · 04-07-2006, 11:22 PM

Personal opinion from sitting and driving in both. (Was considering buying a new car back in November) THe only thing I feel the miata has over the solstice is driving feel, you feel more as one with the road. BUT, then again invest the extra money you saved on the miata into the solstice and I beleive it would match, if not surpass it in that area.

biggrin: . Seems more streamlined, the lines flow better inside, the shifter feels fucking fantastic. Feels roomy, more open, NO nasty shin/ ankle rubbage Like most modern cars.... I liked it alot.. Personal opinion though I guess.... The lines of the car.. TO ME just flow really nicely.

Best way to capitolize on baby boomers: What Im doing. Majoring in Law, working in senior law. Retire when the BBs start dying off.

I think the SOltice is ugly as shit.
