My first and last experience with GM was a 02 1500 4x4 , biggest pos I ever bought , traded it in asap..
As for VW diesels , I want one too , anyone considering buying one needs to check their states laws, I live in NH where they are OK to have but Massachusetts doesnt allow them..

This seems odd to me,that our goverment wants us to use less oil and then tell us we can't drive some cars that can run on bio-deisel.I just got back from the beach and my 2002 goldwing got 40 mpg and my wife was driving our 2005 VW deisel jetta and it got 54.5 mpg.Thats the best it has ever got,30,000 miles on it.Maybe its just now getting broke in.

I nursed an 83 K5 4x4 blazer for years and thought it to be a good truck and have owned other GMs without many problems so I bought an 01 Silverado 2500 and couldn`t dump that thing fast enough before my beloved PSD! I got on the GM forums back then and everyone was complaining it seemed about the shimmy shakes in the drive trains and all of a sudden mine was doing it. Wind noise, poor milage, uncomfortable cab, hated it. Sorry for the hijack.

Strange "statutes yes. But I don't think they'll be that numb to outlaw the big rigs.
But lets not give them any ideas ether.

GO DIESELS.
GO DIESELS.
Back in the old days Lighting packages like that were not an issue as long as they were covered. I don't see why they would want to change things now.
wait it is those braindeads that we elected in office that is the problem..

How else would they say "I am doing my part for (insert cause here) so please re-elect me."?
