My concern as well is that really high back-end. It looks odd from the pictures, but its likely quite nice in person. So for now, I actually prefer the looks of the wagon.

You know, the rear window is so steep, I bet they could actually make it a hatch, like on the 370z. Still call it a coupe (category accuracy is not so important anymore), but give it the utility of a full opening hatch and fold-down rear seats.

Well, it has as much name presence as a car that is brand new (aka Genesis). The younger generation that is targeted here doesn't really know the Regal name. So its the equivalent of having a new name. And so it will earn its awards, like the Genesis had to. Who knows if it will do well.

I would get this over a Malibu 3.5. Aside from styling, its smaller and lighter (the Malibu is quite large), more fuel efficient and faster/more fun to drive. If I were taking a long road trip, sure, the Malibu would be what I'd want, but the Regal is more suited to everyday driving.

This manual won't work for me when I'm sitting 3 people across on my front bench seat.


No seriously, sitting 3 across is the best, you gotta try it!

Well, if I had the choice of driving either one every day, I'd take the one that I find attractive, the GT500. Both are great performing cars, but at this level of performance, it simply comes down to looks for me.

Whoa! It does video? Amazing stuff for e-ink. The Kindle is about to get blown out the water.

Yeah, this generation of consoles are extremely powerful, but right now, this $600 card could power higher resolution and much higher detail than the 360. With correct implementation of Eyefinity, it boggles the mind. But you do pay out the nose.

Read the Anand article to get some insight on this. It goes along the lines of "why not?". 40nm yields aren't the best right now, but the 5970 has such low production volume that it doesn't put a large dent in production yields. December should be better to get more silicon in consumer's hands.

Its too bad that nVidia can't release theirs in December before ATI can get their production up and before the holidays. It probably would really help them.

Well, I dont' want to get into what type of gaming is meant for which device and whats better, not the point of the engadget post. Though I will say this: For games that cost $30+ bucks, I'd want a dedicated gaming platform that I know will handle it well. For casual gaming on $5 games, the touch-based quickie games (like Tower games) on iPHones/Zunes are great. Doesn't need dedicated gaming hardware. And there are huge markets for both.

Now, the Tegra 2 would be great for the DS2. Though, I kind of like the 2D gaming on the DS, don't care for much 3D stuff. But that is only my preference. DS2 is simple: Have the screens slightly larger (not XL size), perhaps widescreen it a bit, a bit higher resolution, offer touch on both screens, and the Tegra 2. More built-in storage and SDXC slot. My only concern with Tegra is having a good battery life. Will it compare to the current DSi or DSLite?

PSP2- I wonder if they could figure out someway to put a low-power, pared down Cell Processor in it. I doubt it, so the only thing I wonder about is if they will stick with UMD or go with downloads only? Also, Sony should really think about putting a second stick on it. Seems every gamer wants it.

With OnLive, someone could easily make a very cheap handheld device that just streams games. I mean, it wouldn't take a massive processor, and the screen resolution at 3-4 inches doesn't need to be 720p (more like 480p), so bandwidth isn't as big of an issue. For around 100 bucks or less, a machine that plays full pc/console games on the go. Nice.

I want the job of swapping the cpu's!

I'd like to see how well it would do running a weather prediction program. Tired of getting inaccurate weather predictions.
