I would totally drive a red or black Bonneville with the tan leather interior... like '93 - '95. I'd want the SSEi for the supercharged 3800, but I wouldn't turn down the regular 3800.

This one for me ... no spoiler, nice color, but the cladding was a bit much, though. I'm guessing it was designed from scratch and does not share the greenhouse of the previous model. Busy but interesting dashboard. This would have been a car bought second hand by a diner waitress in or near Redding, California that she would drive while holding her cigarette out the window.

There are still some options for car folks: Kia compact K4 Kia mid-size K5 Gensis Compact G70 Genesis Mid-size G80 Genesis full size G90 Toyota mid-size Camry Honda compact Civic Honda mid-size Accord Hyundai compact Elantra Hyundai mid-size Sonata Hyundai mid-size Ioniq 6N Nissan compact Sentra Nissan mid-size Altima Cadillac compact CT4 Cadillac mid-size CT5 Dodge mid-size Charger Mercedes compact C-Class Mercedes Mid-size E-Class Mercedes Full size S- Class BMW compact 3 series BMW Mid-size 5 Series BMW Full-size 7 series BMW i3 Neue Klasse Audi Compact A4 Audi mid-size A6 Audi full size A8 Tesla Compact Model 3 Lucid Mid-size Air If your in Canada or Mexico there are more car options especially from Kia in regard to their new EVs. One could consider buying and importing it into the U.S. Note: Updated list to remove a retired car and add five missed cars.

30 years ago at the U of Michigan my PhD advisor had a dark green '93 Bonneville w/ the tan leather interior.. I don't recall the trim level or engine, but it was a nice car..rode in it a couple times to dinner/etc. He also had a white '92-ish GMC Jimmy 4dr (the square S15-based one). He's now the president of Carnegie Mellon U.

Three volumes gives you plenty more to work with artistically.

The simple modern three box sedan ages remarkable well because it never claims to be doing something it isn't.

The mid sized GM cars of that Era do it more than the full size, although the full size cars had a grace and class unlike anything built today. But give me a cutty, swivel buckets, am 8 track, and lots of endless highway. Will take that all day every day. This ages very well. Some people I like at first, and dislike more and more as time goes on. Some people, I dislike and grow to like. This has gone for me from Meh, cool but not like the old stuff to "Fantastic"

I'm very limited with my Bonneville years. Liked '88 onward, but only '90 and '91 with the color block tail lamps. Then, anything 2000 until the curtain fell on the Bonne, in LE trim but with buckets/console and the base alloys. It would be a 3800, but sadly only Series II. I especially liked the last Bonneville ... and its unique rear tail lamp assembly. - - - - - I forgot ... how can I forget the '75 and '76 Grand Ville Brougham or Bonneville Brougham coupe with a landau roof and the typical Pontiac rally wheels of that era? 400 c.i. V8 and up, so no thanks to that.

Interesting about Pep Boys..I had no idea. There aren't any in my area, looks like they have a few locations down in Youngstown and in Central Ohio around Columbus. Auto Zone, Advance and O'Reilly are my locals. I tend to prefer O'Reilly, if only because I worked on their inventory system for a while on a project when the consulting firm I was at in Arizona had them as a client.

A7 is tecnically a hatch. but correct on the rest. We were only counting sedans.

Altima and A8 are canceled or at the end of their production runs without being replaced. There is no more challenger, that was a coupe anyway You missed Ioniq 6N and coming BMW i3 Neue Klasse

I really hope so.

By the time you are ready to retire your truck, you might just have a compact / mid-size EV Truck to replace it. That is of course we wake up and remove Idiot47, Kia/Hyundai move forward with their electric trucks that are in test mule format now and Ford / GM / Toyota Deliver as all have said they are working on compact / mid-size EV Trucks.

I completely agree with you on the West coast being much more EV friendly and people are adapting much quicker out there. I just don't think there will be many people looking for 80-100k vans. I get it, they are crazy spacious, but people are just stubborn on the van-shape. Outside of the price, which is supposedly pretty nuts, IMO, it SHOULD do well. I just don't think it really will. It's kind of like most station wagons. A ton of people love their utility but very few actually follow through with their higher-than-a-comparable-SUV/sedan price.

This is a new platform over the previous body, yes. It's Aurora based and between the two, I'd go with an Aurora of this generation.

And the details make a huge difference. This guy matches my level of cynicism....

My younger son owned a 3800 Buick that he loved, and a bunch of friends drove these vehicles. My grandfather passed mid eighties when I was in high school. He was always a Buick guy. I would give anything for just one good road trip with him in one of these!

These were awesome engines, just needed a huge engine bay as any straight-line engine needs. I call BS on this, I feel that if you cannot respect the cost of taking care of your truck and to me abuse it by damaging it, then your just lazy and clearly have no idea about how to use tools properly. I have heavily used my trucks, SUVs and CARs and never babied them, but always kept them looking sharp. Yes, accidents happen and sometimes when one is tired you might put a scratch on it, but this truck has just been abused by someone that does not care. His statement of a Truck you're afraid to beat-up is no longer a truck is BS, you do not need to beat up a truck to still have it as a useful tool. A person who abuses their vehicles tells me a ton about their approach to how they work and live and they are just lazy and do not care. Do you really want a person like that working with you or doing work for you when they cannot take any pride in their own tools, makes one question if they would really take any pride in their job, products they do, etc.

Always liked those old Dodges...I learned to drive in the mid 80s in a '79 Dodge Power Wagon 4x4 short wide box pickup my Dad had. Very numb steering--no on center feel at all, bouncy suspension, would stall on left turns. Was very clean w/ like 25k miles..silver green inside and out.

Always liked the 00s Impalas..had many as rentals when I lived in Colorado then Arizona and would travel back to Ohio and elsewhere in the Midwest and East...along w/ Intrepids and 300Ms, Grand Marquis, Town Cars and the occasional DeVille/DTS (and drove my sister's 00 DTS a lot). Don't recall having had a Buick as a rental, but always liked the looks of the 90s-00s Park Avenues..

The collapse of ICE vehicles can't come fast enough.
