Given the easy year-over-year comparisons, GM’s November results were not that positive. December will be much more difficult.

The all-new Amanti replacement is looking really good…. I cannot help but think it looks remarkably close to the BMW 5-Series. I wouldn’t expect the Cadenza to be on par with a 5-Series, but the design is looks close at a half the cost. It still looks really good. Take a look.

It’s the best Ford yet. Most people will not recognize the 2010 Taurus as a…. Taurus. Good use of different materials, color, and texture in the interior to provide strong visual interest and a real sense of quality and craftsmanship. Standout interior design feature… the flowing center console and ice blue instrumentation. The exterior design has very strong detail, with rear tail lamps reminiscent of 1960 Ford sedans. Slight retro, but blended into a modern design. Taurus SHO is just plain fast. Torque comes on very early, with no turbo lag or whine.
