Pontiac experimenting with composite wheels in the '80s :

That could be the Canadian pronunciation? I know there are many words that Canadians usually pronounce differently than Americans....ones I've encountered in my work experience include 'process' and 'project' (long o in Canada--prOcess vs prahcess, prOject vs prahject), Java (long a---jAHva in Canada, jaahVUH in the US), Zed for the letter Z, etc.

A string of GM and GM related one way or other, mid-engine production cars

In American English, it would be 'plaaahd', rhymes with glad. Not sure about other regional English variants.

I like the LFA....I also really like the LC-F...more down to earth...like an SL but with reliability. The Lexus predator grille works on this car, IMO...it's something I think I would very much enjoy for a fall drive along the coast and to the beach, with a few windy back roads.

Im into Lexus LFAs too ever since the C8 Z06 was revealed. I revisited the sound of that V10, revisited the engineering aspects of it and decided that I miss this car. This one is a case of dont know what you got 'til its gone. I always liked it, but never loved it. Now I love it. It does lack some sensual lines. It kinda looks generic to be honest. But at least the Toyoter designers didnt put unnecessary curves on it just to have curves. It is styled with a purpose and it looks the part of meaning business without any unnecessary boyracer cues on it. It might not have been the fastest when it came out, and I think this is the reason why it failed in the market place, but many people, including myself, missed the point entirely about this car. Being the fastest was not the reason for this car. The engineering behind it was. The C8 Z06 made me cement that thought about this car. Anyway....less blah blah and more pics please!
