    Saturn/Vauxhall relationship?

    Was it closer than I thought? I was recently on facebook and on a Cobalt group I joined, a guy posted photos of his Vauxhall Vectra estate. It was a 2.2L L61 (Z22SE to Europeans) and he imported a supercharger kit for it from America. I was looking at the body lines and something struck me...

    Need some info

    As many of you know, Diesel is not very popular in the states, but it is gaining traction here. For the longest time, only VW offered diesel powered cars in the USA. Recently, Mazda and Chevrolet have offered diesel powered cars to compete with the VW's. Mazda offers a 2.2L turbo diesel in the...

    Who needs them?

    Who needs an Audi, Subaru, or Mitsubishi to have AWD fun? This Suzuki Swift manages quite well on its own. Suzuki Swift playing in snow I thought this video epic enough to share.

    Used Car ads

    I figured I'd start a thread like this on here. On some of my other forums, there's generally a topic called "Craigslist Gold" where we share used car ads that are funny, jaw-dropping, or deserving of mockery and "WTH were they thinking"? I'll start us off with a local ad for my area I found of...

    Brand opinions?

    I'm curious as to this website's member's unbiased opinions of a brand experiment in America. I personally love it, but I have no clue what people overseas think of it. Around 2000, Toyota noticed a trend towards modifying small economy cars known collectively as tuners. Toyota wanted to market...

    Hmmm

    Given my recent troubles with the Saturn, I've been CONTEMPLATING getting rid of it for a newer car. While at the New York Auto Show, I narrowed it down to 2 cars if I buy new. Chevrolet Sonic LT Turbo. 1.4L Turbo (138 HP), 6 speed manual. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEvgegyWLWs Nissan...

    New York International Auto Show (Warning: Pic heavy)

    So Saturday I went to the New York International Auto show with my father. Was there the whole day, still didn't see everything. I didn't take photos of everything mainly because there's so much there. Tip: If you're going to an auto show, wear comfy shoes. I made the mistake of wearing my steel...

    http://jalopnik.com/5934597/how-i-settled-a-ridiculous-bet-by-racing-a-pair-of-tiny-cars The cars in question? The Chevrolet Sonic RS Turbo (138 HP 1.4L Turbo) and the Hyundai Accent (138 HP 1.6L). It started with a journalist making jokes about the Sonic being a crappy Korean econobox that...

    Which is better looking

    Got into an argument via text message with my friend, Amber. She was at work, drooling over a 2013 Honda Accord that came in and I said it wasn't as pretty (and never will be) as a 1961 Chevy Impala SS at my work. She said I was crazy. *rolls eyes* For those who don't know. I'm a salesman for...

    Nurburgring's fastest FWD production car

    I found this on the Cobalt forums and it was an interesting read with many facts. I don't know about you, but I still consider the Cobalt the fastest FWD production car around the Nurburgring. For those questioning this "Cobalt" I'm referring to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnVK6WOTVmI

    Computer Tuning

    I'm a complete novice when it comes to tuning. I've never dealt with it before, and I've never liked the idea of having to rely on additional car's own original other than the computer's own to run the engine safely. If I had a 2005 Saturn Ion, I wouldn't worry about this, since I could then...

    Tommy's Project Tupperware - 2004 Saturn Ion Quad Coupe Level 2

    My father bought me this as a daily driver when my Monte Carlo bent the valves (and also heavily urging me to get rid of the Monte). I call this Project Tupperware because it's a common nickname for Saturns here, due to the plastic dent-resistant body panels. My aunt even asked if I had to burp...

    Tommy's Project Zombie - Chevrolet Monte Carlo Z34

    I figured I'll make an official thread about this since I'll probably be taking massive amounts of photos of it anyways. Some of you will recall I mentioned in my introductory thread, that I mentioned having a 1995 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Z34 with bent valves that I had planned to rebuild. The...
