Lease has good and bad points.

Car is certainly nice. What I probably should have done in the first place instead of the Audi only because it was in the consideration set then just as it is now.

Started looking at a couple of used ones but ended up thinking new.

Surprising amount of torque steer. May be too used to the Cruze which has anti-torque steer or should I say devoid-of-torque steer.

Keep you posted of course. Good thing though is I'm finding some of my young engineers might be died in the whool car guys. Of course they wouldn't fit our mold. One drives a Golf AWD something or another. Another driving an older BMW 3 and the other youngster (don't tell them I call that I think it's derogitory...................but they could all easily be my sons) drives an '06 Cayman. But I think when you get close to the cities with trains and mass transit you don't think cars as much. Just have to get them thinking Camaros....................God forbid even a Mustang

Oh and the big issue on the GS is the wheels. 20s look sweet but come with summer only tires. 19s look nice, but NOT sweet but come with All Season tires. Thoughts? A perfect House question.

Before you get the GS, have you seen what Fen posted about Buick rumors?

http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=262660


As for those 255/35R20 on the GS, yes the rims are good looking, but those low profile wheel/tire combos do not live well with big city winter potholes. :(

You could look at a winter only tire/wheel combo in the 225/50R18 size.
The X-Ice Xi3 by Michelin is a good tire at a much better price point than a A/S in the 20" size.

Saw that.................but still just rumors. Believe it when you see camo on cars in spy photos.

Thanks, my thoughts exactly on the 20s.

I could still get two fingers from the tire to the fender..................needs lowering.




Also photoshopped in BIG way. Don't even know what that car is.

Too many good pix to not peruse.

LOWDOWN, I suggest you make a throwaway Facebook account using a throwaway email address. It's free, after all.
