WOW, talk about too Funny. Thanks for the walk down memory lane. Both popular and fun songs from my past. The cross eye'd asian was way too funny.

WOW BV, Sorry to hear you were in an accident. like everyone else, very glad you did not get hurt, the auto did it's job and protected you. Now you can help our economy recover and buy an american Auto. Good Luck BV.

:rotflmao: This really shows just how ugly and cheap Honda has become and people say GM auto's are Plasticy cheap and ugly????

So you all might flag me, whip me etc. But to me GM needs to just Kill the Buick and Pontiac label here in NA and sell or close down the money loosing Saturn. To survive and grow, GM should only be a 3 tier Auto Company. Entry level auto's = Chevy Mid Level auto's = GMC Luxury Level auto's = Cadillac. That is all that needs to be. Rebadge existing auto's so you have a mid lux GMC car, Mid Lux performance and mid Lux Trucks. For those that would point out that Buick is big in China, I say your Right, so in China we have Buick with Buick Trucks, No GMC in China. You can run a 3 Tier product catalog with differant names so that you play to the strengths that names have in the various markets, but it would be clear to see what level each product came from. This way if someone from Chine did move to NA, then they go from buying Buick to GMC. Makes the best sense and saves a ton of money as you end up with just 3 marketing groups which will save on the much wider printing of docs, marketing etc due to the 6 current names in the US.

Wonder if I can get this engine turbo or variable turbo charged. It is a nice looking engine and would probably be kick ass fun in a light package as long as they do not detune it to be a gutless wonder.

STUPID STUPID STUPID Due to two kids in College, I have put on hold buying any other vehicle, but I really love the XLR and was hoping in two years once they are out of college to get one for my wife and I. GM will never get back to the standard of the world with doing idiot mgmt decisions. The XLR could be so much more and easily beat the SL from Mercedes. They truly have missed the boat about trying to keep every product line going when in the last 8 years they should have eaten the cost of closing down Pontiac, Buick & Saturn and focused on selling Chevy as an entry level, GMC as the upgraded mid lux level and Cadillac as the top of the world. They could have so eaten everyone lunch if they just changed and stopped moving at a glacial pace. I will miss the XLR and hope I can find a new one next year if I can make it work for the budget. Sad

Who cares that they are not Number one in sales, this just gives them more room to deal with growing sales. The whole I am number one is so over blown.

:rotflmao: I actually think all those auto's are reworked old versions from the 70's to 90's. i am not impressed by any of them. The Flex and Fusion are just sad, the MKS does have some potential, but still Ford cheapened up the interior. Then they do make a vehicle for everyone. :sign0200: Enjoy your Plastic.

Nice looking Car, but probably too small to fit me.

I must be missing the Koolaid bowl your drinking out of DodgeFan, I spent the last 3 days looking over the complete 2009 lineup of trucks, SUV's and Cars before Jerome decided to go with the heavy discounted 2008 Expedition EL. He could see very little differance and so could I between the 08 and 09 models. They all have hard plastic dashes, yes they all seem to get the Microsoft Sync which is cool, but except for techno nurds, you can not tell me that Ford has superior interiors than GM. They Suck. Worst yet is I was SO DISAPPOINTED in the Ford Mustang. Poor Quality all the way around, rusty parts on the cars. If this is their version of world class quality, then they need to make some major changes.

Change!

This is SO BIZARR, I just helped a 77 year old man who my wife works for replace his 1997 Expedition with a 2008 Expedition EL. Over all much better vehicle than the old version, but the one thing I noticed for a 40,000+ SUV is all the hard poor quality plastic. So many people Bash GM about the plastic interiors and yet FORD does it on their new auto's still. here they put a little wood on the steering wheel and fake wood on the dash over the Nav and yet everywhere else is a plastic hardness. Even the Vents are the same as they put in the Escort and new Taurus. The old man is happy with his new ride, but I have to say, FORD has a long way to go to have Trucks and SUV's that compete with GM. The only thing I will Bash GM on is that I did like the 3rd row electronic fold flat seats. That is way better than taking out the third seat in GM's vehicles. I do realize that that would have caused GM to change the rear wheel setup.

We still have to many brands in this global depression. Time for the weak to go, Chrysler needs to become history just like SAAB needs to go. Reality, I could see Fiat taking over and using this to have a quick build up of Fiat dealerships and get a Fiat Large truck line for minimal cost.

Personally SAAB is a brand that should have never been bought, it should have just died and become a part of history. There are still to many name plates / Brands in the world and with the economy going the way it is. It would be best to just take it off life support and let it go.

WOW, Some things are mind blowing Wonder what medical research group got his mind?

Sorry Guy's, I actually like the Cobalt styling way more than the GTI. I find this auto very ugly in my opinion.

Very Lovely Car, Course I could go for the Barracuda laying across the hood of that bad ass Red Camero!

Thanks for Posting this, I really like this Version so much better than what Bush rolled around in. Hopefully Obama will get the next one to in 4 years. Gotta love american built Auto!. If the GOP had their way, they would have killed this company and then probably gone to Mercedes and asked for a armored limo. Just what we need, our President being driven around in a foreign made auto. Awesome Job GM, Keep it up.

WOW Nice compliment only to be bashed by a persons personal prefereance for the very Ugly GTI

WOW, I actually like it!!! Course what would be a comment without discussing the marketing and sales of a vehicle like this. "Muslims Unit" You can now send your Bombers in Luxury to Meet Allaha and get their 72 Virgins in style with the New Nuclear Fueled Cadillac. Support America, Buy America and Blow them up. All this and more for a low low price of $1,000,000 per car upfront, this includes a $7000 instant rebate from GM.

SWEET!!!! This is a positive note for the US, we keep production here, grow our own engineers and show the world that not only did we start this automotive business based on FORD, but we can build the new technology and build it better and go to the next level. I am very excited by this anouncement. :sign0200:
