| | | well, after much deliberation and soul searching, I ordered my new car yesterday. Well, ordered might not be the right term... had the dealer do a search and find it. It's a 2012 Chevrolet Cruze LT1 with the RS Package in Crystal Red Tintcoat. It's got everything but the automatic transmission. 1.4L Turbo/6speed manual. Going to take me a week or so to work out the financing, but they are going to give me $7800 for my Cobalt, $500 rebate on the Cruze, $500 GM loyalty and I forget the discount for being an International Paper lackey. sticker on the car is $21,850 Basically... this car: Oh, I almost forgot... I drove a 2013 Dodge Dart Rallye yesterday afternoon. The Chevrolet dealer my brother works is owned by the same guy that owns a Dodge dealership down the road. The salesman work at both stores, so the car got mentioned and a test drive was arranged. Overall, the workmanship of the Dart is LIGHT YEARS ahead of the Neon and Caliber. Car felt tight, solid, quick. BUT, it did feel heavier than the Cruze or Fiesta. The Rallye package I drove was the 1.4L Turbo/6 speed Multiair engine. I could definitely tell that it was more an economy car than the R/T that was coming down the pike. Oddly enough, though, my mom has a Cruze Eco with a 1.4L turbo/6speed automatic and that engine felt gutsier than the Dodge did. Still, the styling, interior and instrument panel is what is going to sell the Dart. If they had an R/T model on the floor and let me drive it, I might've come home with one. One thing that's funny is that I was not aware that the Dart was built on an Alfa Romeo chassis? (i didn't know A-R was part of Fiat either until this morning). So anyways, try out the Dart if you get a chance to.

| | | Posted by CDSbigsby My fiancee just got a new Cruze, she loves it.
| my mom has had her Cruze Eco a year and has had ZERO trouble with it. Everytime I drive it, I keep looking for squeaks, rattles, stupid shit, but even as an Eco, it's a tight little car. i really liked that Golf GTi from a couple of months ago, but it's hard trading a Chevrolet at a Volkswagen dealer. The incentives and rebates aren't there. I mean, my car books for (hold on...) about $7k because of the mileage. Other than that, the car is spotless inside and out. How many people do you know that wax under the hood, the door jams and the trunk jams? It doesn't matter trading in, though.

hes still got WIRY though, my old pontiac dealer moved out of his boat anchor of a GM building, moved into a modest former toyota dealer, after 3 years has knocked down the showroom and built bigger and better. So as much as i hate that hes selling KIA's im glad he has maintained and grown his business. They were good guys. plattsburgh was over dealered, Bill McBride chevy, Drew Buick, Knight caddy/olds and bill santa pontiac. At least up here Pontiac/buick were always together and Chev Olds were always together. we didnt have these wierd Chevy pontiac caddy geo mixes.
| it's still over-dealered! there's Della Honda, Della Suzuki, Garvey Hyundai, Plattsburgh Ford, Durocher Kia, Durocher Toyota/Scion, Garrand's Nissan, Della Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep, Knight GMC Buick, Bill McBride Chevrolet/Subaru... and then, in that immediate area is Dannemora Ford, Riley Ford in Chazy, and Parker Chevrolet in Champlain!
