Maybe there will be another Chevy on the horizon.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[The Other Bob]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 26th 2007 4:34PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Big plans for GM's new Delta small-car platform]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/big-plans-for-gms-new-delta-small-car-platform/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/big-plans-for-gms-new-delta-small-car-platform/</guid><description><![CDATA[Well think of it like this...the Saab 9-3, Malibu, Aura, Opel Vectra, and G6 are all on the Epsilon platform and the New Vue, Chevrolet Equinox and others are all modified version of that same platform. GM started doing this around 2000 world wide. Each will share metal underneath but on the outside will be different and while the suspension will basically be the same it will be calibrated to give totally different feels. This is great news also because it will mean even more cost saving and such.<br><br>So can you tell the 9-3 and the G6 are the same car if no one told you? NO and they have totally different crash test scores because each brand can adapt the platform to their own needs. Engine will also vary as we do not get half the engine choices that Europe and the rest of the world get.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[RayJ]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 26th 2007 4:43PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Big plans for GM's new Delta small-car platform]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/big-plans-for-gms-new-delta-small-car-platform/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/big-plans-for-gms-new-delta-small-car-platform/</guid><description><![CDATA[Simplify the underpinnings and spend the money on exteriors and interiors.

With exception of GMAC and UAW I think GM is on its way to profitability within next 2-3 years. I think US sales are going to be dismal because we are going to recession around February-March, but rest of NA should do well, Asia, South America, EU to an extent, should also provide considerable boost to GM. However, it is my strong belief that we are going to lose Chrysler probably by end of the decade.<br><br>rgt88@hotmail.com]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Noidor]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 26th 2007 5:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Big plans for GM's new Delta small-car platform]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/big-plans-for-gms-new-delta-small-car-platform/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/big-plans-for-gms-new-delta-small-car-platform/</guid><description><![CDATA[ I sure hope we don`t lose Chrysler. I`m glad GM has a solid game plan and hope we as Americans start to be proud of what we achieve again.<br> If Japan can have five or six profitable Auto manufactures. The US should be able to support the three it has. If we keep losing our ability to produce a gross national product we are in trouble.<br>  Chrysler and Ford both must live along with GM!<br> Prosperity gives us a good life style and hope for a good life. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[whofan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 26th 2007 8:05PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
