Yea, here is the start of the ugly shutdown and the next group of unemployed workers.

TOTALLY ROCKS!!! GO GMC!!! I would be a total GMC only fan if I was not such a big GM fan. I would have loved to add to my GMC family of auto's but sadly no new Typhoon so I had to settle for the lovely Trailblazer SS. Just so many lovely GM auto's. Spread the Love. I totally agree with you on the art of the old and new logo. That hat really Rocks. Enjoy it as you deserve it.

Yawn, Exterior is just evolutionary. See if the gawd awful interior is truly redone.

Could go either way, best year ever or worst. This tranny could be way better than what GM builds since it has already been out in other auto for a while. Bigger issue is once they go to their own GM engineered tranny, how long will parts really be available for this one year off unit and ouch when you get an idiot mechanic who does not pay close attention to this and trys to fix it based on what is going on with the GM tranny. I will wait and see as like I said, this could be amazing or a blow up. True if this one year use of tranny is a derivative of what BMW is using, then it should not have any problems. Course the programming will be very different so it will be interesting to see who GM does.

Yeah, the rims are absolutely terrible. They're ugly beyond ugly. That's why I'll be replacing the rims with a set of these soon: I've always liked Year One's 17" Rally Rim reproductions and considered buying a set for my old black Turdmaro. That's what will be going on this car. That's a seat from either a late '90s Grand Prix or early 2000's Impala, I believe. Yes, I said a seat. The previous owner started to replace the original worn out ones and stopped at the driver's seat. I still have the original driver's seat, but I'm not sure I'm going to reupholster it, the passenger side seat, or the rear seat bottoms. I'm open to criticism here, but I'm thinking a set of Recaros out of a Cobalt SS may be what I use to replace the front seats, if not at least a set of seats out of a fourth-gen F-Body. Of course, they'll be recovered with more factory-style coverings. I do plan on reusing at least the back of the rear seat. I'm afraid so. I have no idea who in the hell made those things, but I'd like to hope that they've went out of buisness. We'll get there sometime this winter I hope. So far, I'm planning on painting the car black and adding a custom hood and lower body side graphics, although I'm also considering a few Holden-sourced paint options as well. As far as the body goes, it's 85 percent straight and 85 percent rust free. None of your typical F-Body rust has gotten to the rocker panels or any of the rear sheetmetal. The floorpans do have some very mild rust issues (which second-gen F-Body car doesn't?), but that's no big deal. I can spend $200 bucks on so on a new set from Camaro Central, which is luckily located about 15 miles away from me (and that also means I'll get to save a buttload of cash on shipping working on this car). Sounds Very Cool, I would like to suggest you keep a running blog here with pictures so we can all lust after this baby being brought back to a high standard of BAD!

I didn't make that bet... LOL I am just expanding on that bet. I agree one will survive at least but will loose it's freedom to a bigger boy on the block.

I do not see either of them surviving as independents.

Teachers Pet!

They are just covering their ass as this really just screams they have no freaking idea how to compete and could just disappear like their auto's have.

Does this count for an old SUV???? Or would it be Limo Class! I have to say this is one mighty tasty Dually 6 door

Talk about being in love with the Ultimate SUV! Totally Lust Worthy!!!

Pretty Freakin Awesome. Guess Ford built the 6 Door Raptor for out of this country.

You talking about this 6 door Ram?

WOW, Very cool video, the guy was for sure from mars.

Agree, I like the multiple LED lights, but do not like the chrome bling around them, Very ugly. think it could have been done much better. I do like the bumper integrated exhaust.

A couple more examples of Ramburbans!

Who is doing the conversions? Wonder if it would be US legal to import them.

I forsee BMW having a hard landing in the future. I honestly do not see a market for this car or the x6 for that matter. They are niche vehicles with very little sales from what I can gather. Is this just to have some marketing change blurb. I guess if they can really build it without it having a drain on raw costs, then a break even niche auto will work. But I do not see it at this time.

Gotta Love that, especially with the Cummins, I would so go for it in a heart beat.

Nice but needs a paint job

But at the right cheap price, you could gut it, clean it and put in the engine, electrical and inside you desire and have a killer auto. Not worth the effort. Would be to me. Think of a new Suburban, Camero, Sierra etc that you just gutted the electrical, interior, etc and then cleaned and painted and sealed the auto and then custmized the interior and powertrain to your liking. Anyone want a Suburban Duramax Diesel? If I could pick a suburban up for a few thousand dollars as scrap and then gut it and build it the way I want the interior and powertrain to be, this is well worth it to me.

That was an error on my side. As far as Caprice fiasco - there was a loophole in the process where civilians could buy the vehicles that was later realized and closed by GM, but few escaped into the hands of people anyways. Dfelt, if such is the case then it is good, but I fail to see why GM would pose that language on its website. Most sales GM would like to have come from companies that are focused on the CNG market who would then get the vehicle for a customer from the fleet sales person but that adds another layer of cost that I do not see as needed. So as the GM LinkedIn group said, just go see the fleet sales person to buy one. What do you mean? An individual going through his company that is CNG focused which in turn will approach a fleet sales person and then procure the vehicle? There are businesses that are wanting to change over to CNG fleet so a company will come to then, offer a CNG fueling solution and trucks and make a pitch to the customer and because they might have financing all setup, will buy the new GM CNG BiFuel trucks along with the CNG fueling solution and end up paying more than if you bought the trucks direct and only bought the fueling solution.
