C/D makes an unexpected verdict

Right, I hate Pontiac. I've always been anti-GM. You're clearly right.

(If I were to argue in your typical manner, I'd stop right here. However, considering how disgustingly rude I find that, I'll actually support my statements.)

And lower weight will pay off in different ways. It will generally make a car more "tossable", and will help both acceleration and fuel economy. None of those factors were mentioned in the C/D capsule-comparo. I would expect them to emerge in the real test, and I'd expect to see quite some weight given to them.

Hey, its possible to be anti-Pontiac without being anti-GM.

As for your other examples they may be true, but they don't matter in judging handling except for "tossability" and that certainly isn't all that important in such a close contest anyway. An Aveo is more tossable than a 5-series but guess which one handles better?

AT least you admitted your dislike for Pontiac though. Baby steps...

You and if get into these heated arguments over everything.  I think it's hilarious, but situations like these plagued C&D and is like an epidemic on the boards now.  As long as it stays civil, I don't mind, but I've seen it get pretty ugly between you two, and I'd like to avoid that.

I can't help it if Ifcar gets upset when he is proven wrong.
