Domestic automakers didn't do particularly well, either. Cadillac was at the tops of the General Motors portfolio,

That part of the article is incorrect. According to the new April CR Car-Buying Issue, Buick is the top-scoring domestic manufactuer overall. I just got my subscription-copy in the mail a couple of days ago.

I was messing with my center console today, trying to get the damn thing to click into place...my '99 LGT was the same way.

An STI is certainly looking better and brighter :-)

Did I read that right? That's not a true statement.
