N/A SW20. At the time, I had an '87 AW11, but always coveted the SW20. It's just such a pretty car. Well, a nearby dealer had one, and I took it for a test drive. Aside from preferring the styling of the SW20, it offered nothing over my '87.

Just enough discrepancy to know that it's not, but the first thing that came to mind was a Bradley GT2

They could have done better with the name, but everything else about this announcement is great news! I'm not holding my breath for the Ute or the Wagon, but either would be excellent. (both would be better) I doubt the Ute would have sufficient towing capacity to replace my truck, but the wagon, or, to a lesser extent, the sedan would make a nice addition to my "fleet."

One thing, though. I will not buy any of them with an automatic. Offer them with a manual transmission, GM. No, a "manual mode" isn't good enough. That shouldn't be too much to ask. You may have heard by now that people are buying more manual transmission equipped vehicles these days.

I've twice run into U-Haul not willing to rent me a dolly. Once was for my Jaguar which has a curb weight 24 pounds over their equipment limit. The other was for my Fiero which was "unsuitable" for towing by dolly.

Both times I wound up towing a "1996 Ford Escort" with a dolly rented at a different U-Haul.

As we slowly come to terms with the idea that the traditional arguments for a manual transmission are becoming obsolete, we must cling to such an intangible construct that it can never be disproven. There are some models wherein the manual transmission still garners a slight edge in fuel economy, performance, or both, but it is no longer a given. But to suggest that I should opt for the automatic because it is faster and/or gets better mileage is missing the point. By that same logic, no one should ever buy a Miata, since a Camry is faster and gets better mileage. It’s not always about empirical data.

Warranty returns are less troublesome at AutoZone or O’Reilly than they are at Napa, but you are also far more likely to use the warranty. I worked at an Autozone 12 years ago, so I have this sort of irrational loyalty to the chain. They are, however, slowly eroding my confidence in actual parts. I will opt for Napa for critical parts whenever possible. Sure, it’s nice to have a hassle-free warranty on that new fuel pump when it fails after 3 months, but it’s nicer to not have to drop the tank again after only 3 months.

Plus, Napa just feels more like a real neighborhood parts store. I think that it’s largely due to the ratio of commercial to walk-in business. Fortunately for me, the local Napa stores have recently extended their hours. I think that they are open until 7 on weekdays and until 5 on Saturday now. One of them is even open until noon on Sunday!

I love that although he's selling because he needs money for a better car, he's willing to trade for a quad.

I would agree, but the H3 lacks the towing capacity that I would need to pull a race trailer. Additionally, the only year for the H3 SUT was 2009. Being 4 years newer than the oldest H2 SUT, means that the book values are about even.

For my purposes, an '05 H2 would be better than an '09 H3.

Where is the poll choice for all of them?

I feel dirty for wanting the H2 SUT. I have no love for the regular H2. Nor do I have any strong feelings for the Avalanche or its Cadillac twin. But somehow when they combined the two....

I just checked NADA, and they are still a bit rich for my wallet.
