Speaking of Powered Liftgates...and 6 speed automatics by
Ashton Crusher[_2_]
rented a Dodge Caravan for a week. Had powered sliding side doors and
powered lift gate. Cool. But once the cool wore off all the powered
bull**** does it make opening and closing the darn things much slower
then non-powered ones. And of course there's more stuff to break. I

GM's marketing makes no sense by
Nate Nagel[_2_]
Just saw an ad for the Caddy ATS on TV late last night. Supposedly it's
