What do you drive?


Recommended Posts

I was talking about how the original GTO was a family car, and my camaro/firebird comparison was to compare the GTO and the G8

1. Grad Prix is still being made... so no car out NOW has replaced it

2. the GTO makes more power

3. the G8 is out BECAUSE Holden stopped using the platform the GTO was based on, Holden stopped making a RWD 2door hard top

4. What replaced the Holden Monaro(GTO)? the Commodor(G8)

1. GM ceased production on the Grand Prix. The 2008 Grand Prix, which came out last year, was the last model to be made. The G6 has replaced the Grand Prix in Pontiac's mid-size category lineup.

2. So...Have you seen the price of gas these days?

3. The G8 is based on the Commodore, so it's not out because Holden quit making a 2-door RWD chassis. It's out because GM wanted to reintroduce a full-size car into it's Pontiac brand, which the Bonneville filled until 2005. So GM and Holden took the current Commodore, tweaked it and released it in NA as the G8.

4. The Monaro was a sports coupe and the Commodore is a full-size car. You replace apples with apples, not apples with oranges

1. The Pontiac Grand-AM was replaced by the G6 - The Grand Prix is being replaced by the G8

That information is probably all over the Internet, check your facts. The size of the G8 is closer to the Grand Prix than to the Bonneville. Nothing has replaced the Bonneville in the Pontiac lineup.

Yeah the G6 replaced the Grand Am but it also replaced the Grand Prix because both are mid-size cars. The G8 and the Bonneville are both full-size cars. So the G8 has replaced the Bonneville.

Anyway, enough arguing back and forth, we're clogging up this thread lol

My 04' BMW 325i (Dark Blue, Metallic)

The photo is from when I first got it, that's why it still has the dealer plate thing (couldn't find any other photos of it).

Maybe you should come back with a better photo of your BMW !!! You know, without snow... It's august around here!

You truly have no idea about what you're talking about.

The GTO and the G8 are nothing alike... aside from being fast. Different platform/body... different segment... different everything. The G6 takes place of the Grand Prix in terms of price point and has the same interior space as the grand prix.... the g8 becomes the more upscale full size car that takes over for the Bonneville and upscale GP's (GTP/GXP etc)

The only way its similar is that pontiac may be coming out w/ a 2 door G8 to replace the gto... but given the gas prices who knows. They are coming out w/ a g8 truck which will tank... but interesting none the less.

And you do realize the grand prix ceased production.

^ I still can't believe they shoved those FREAKING UGLY rims on the DX-G model (And I rarely feel so strongly about car aesthetics). I understand that those aluminum rims with that crappy plate design is done for aerodynamics (Negligible?) on the Civic Hybrid. But IMO those hubcaps were better in the 07 model. And even at that I bought a LX just so I don't have to be stuck with those hubcaps.

But seriously those are by far the worst wheels ever made. Every time I see it on the road, I throw up a little, thinking, who the hell came up with these junk? The Civic looks really nice IMO, but the wheels just ruined the car.

    • AirPods Pro 3 are now available for only $179 by Taras Buria Apple's third-gen AirPods Pro 3 introduced a few important upgrades over the previous generation while retaining the old $249 price. Still, that is quite a lot of money for a pair of earbuds, but the good news is that right now, you can save quite a lot of money on them, thanks to a new all-time low price. AirPods Pro 3 retain their classic look and form factor, with changes focused on the inside. These earbuds now come with five sets of foam-silicone tips, which sit much more securely in your ear, making the earbuds a perfect choice for physical activities and workouts. Additionally, new tips provide better passive noise cancellation. Speaking of noise cancellation, ANC is now much better at blocking outside noise, with Apple claiming the AirPods Pro mute up to two times more sound than the AirPods Pro 2. The AirPods Pro 3 also have heart rate sensors for activity tracking during workouts. They also support Live Translation and Hearing Aid mode. As for battery life, you get up to 8 hours on a single charge, with the case adding 20 more. The case supports wireless (Qi or Apple Watch charger) and wired charging over USB Type-C (cable not included).

    • Everything I have read is that the BBC is still Pro Doctor Who but wants a solid plan before they let anyone else try to do it. Which is fair.
    • I totally agree no one should trust governments AND big tech companies that have near monopolies in certain market segments. The difference is of course citizens at least have some say in government. Yes, requiring Apple to open up Sirsi to other AI backends is in the interest of EU customers and certainly "opens" up the platform a crack. What are you saying? I wish the US would regulate tech companies more here and even break them up in some cases. Granted trusting the government to do it right is a crap shot at best but what is the alternative? To allow a few tech companies to continue to run everything and just print money? It's crazy to me for example that in most of the world 99% of communications go thru Facebook servers via WhatsApp. What kind of dystopian world are we living in?
    • You can.. make sure you have ADB tools on whatever OS you are running, plug your phone into your PC give it approval to talk to the phone then run this command. adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.chrome So long as you leave Android Webview untouched it wont break anything on your Phone to do this. I have been using exclusively Firefox mobile since it was released.
    • If it ain't broke, don't fix it. One Commander Free also available in the Store has been my goto Files Manager for years. It does what I need at a more than reasonable speed. I do occasionally use Files Explorer just because it is there and does what I need without any problems when I use it.
