Re: if your thinking !!!

Having gone through many cars in the last decadeI bought my Kizashi Sport GTS 6MT Red because it was half the price for what you'd pay to get something similar. Sure, I don't have heated seats or a sunroof but I have a fuel efficient fun car to drive. It feels as solid as anything I've owned except ...

Re: sad and crappy news

The drawback is resale/trade values will plummet. Parts will be available and warranties honored unlike Saab. But like others, I would not have purchased this car had I seen this coming. Uncertainty isn't a good thing when it comes to cars.

Re: Spoke to ASMC this morning

My friend is the Service Manager for the dealership where I bought mine. He said the warranty and parts will be available to repair the car should anything come up during my ownership. I bought my 2012 GTS back in June and would not have bought it had I suspected a Chapter 11 was imminent. However, ...

Re: Two rare cars in my garage

I would never advocate government censorship. But NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, and Fox are all for-profit news outlets. Fox doesn't make any bones about their agenda. But growing up with the belief that news was reported and not shaped to influence has me re-thinking my choice of where I spend my money and p...

Re: Two rare cars in my garage

I side with Ronzuki. Get government out of the way. Obama and his administration are out of control and, like all politicians, are not transparent or telling the truth. Government should not be pushing and influencing industry outside of encouraging innovation and perfection of practices. Seems toda...

Re: Streaming music from Blackberry

I've been tempted, Niterider. I'm self employed and have had BB's for over a decade. The simplicity and ability to not haggle with glitches, taps through useless screens to get where I want, and cost have me staying with it. I had an Android phone that just seemed like a pain. Then it started acting...

Re: Streaming music from Blackberry

Yes, I tried that and there's no audio being 'streamed' but the connection to the application is working as evidenced by the steering wheel controls ability to switch songs etc etc.

Streaming music from Blackberry

I can Bluetooth my music files to the car. I can put a USB stick and play files as well. When I connect to Slacker Radio and connect via Bluetooth the sound disappears. I put it through the system and can control song skipping from the steering wheel to the car unit but yet no sound comes forth. I'v...

Re: Costco has great sunshades for the Kizashi

My Costco didn't have these. I bought a WalMart one that had the 'Kisashi' listed and it is very touchy and hard to get to stay upright. Pain in the you know what...Are you sure you bought the jumbo sized one for the K?

Thanks,

Re: Kizashi service book folder

Must be an Australian thing. My 2012 GTS is leatherette and is a nice folder. It isn't as nice as my past Audi's or Lexus' but I also didn't spend on a luxury line. I can hardly believe that someone takes the time to complain about a binder. What's next? The tire nozzle caps?
