The Dealers if they are in good locations will as you say 'get another brand' and it might not even be a GM Brand.
cheers,

It must be a blast to drive the cars when they are tuned like that. 222 HP out of the 4 cylinder is pretty sweet.
I have an ' 03 wagon but its completely stock, no tuning for me. I don't have the time or the know-how. The 3.0 is a pretty good engine, its good off the line and passing on the highway. Not too bad in fuel economy either.; ▶ Reply to This

I've been doing alot of scouting around for parts as I plan to keep it N/A and see how far I can go. If I can get to 300 WHP all motor then I'll be happy. Being at 204 WHP at the moment has grown weak on me so now is time to get all the parts I want and as it starts to get warm outside which won't be til April around the Chicago area I'll keep the project on lockdown and break all the news and pix and vids at once. But stay tuned...as I buy parts I'll post them and let you know what I think.; ▶ Reply to This

It feels as if it's too light in the front - traction control kicks in when the roads are wet or when there's fine gravel on the road. I am so so so disappointed with this car. The only good things are the space and the gas mileage (30 highway). I am trying to find a replacement that has the cargo room of a wagon, is not large or small and gets good gas mileage and handles well. PHEW! It's a tough order!; ▶ Reply to This
