New Tundra Heavy Duty?
That is good news Camino I pray for no HD trucks... That would be plain wrong. Oh so alot of Tundras are ex-Toyota other model owners or owners trading in there old Tundra? I just see Ford F-150 trades all the time at my Toyo dealership that also sells Lincoln, Scion and Mercury odd combo.

G8 vs 550i on youtube
Could be. But hey just to be compared to a 550i must make BMW sick! Just like the Benz CLK 55 AMG compared to the GTO as done by MT made Benz sick! That is what they need to get the cage rattled.

So Toyota is coming around in NASCAR it seems
QUOTE(toesuf94 @ Feb 20 2008, 04:20 PM) and let's not forget that at the end of the day - the purchase of a Japanese car ASSEMBLED in the US still benefits the Japanese economy - not ours. All it does is increase the trade deficit. Here is how to better understand: go to a hobby shop and buy a model kit made in Japan. The kit has parts that were made in Japan by a mold run in Japan, that was made by a japanese mold maker. The mold was drafted and designed by a Japanese engineer. Now, pay yourself $10.00 per hour to put it together, and there you go. You have now proven how much a Japanese car "assembled" here benefits our economy. Yeah, the dealer level also contributes on a local level, but that is the full extent of it. American cars built over the border in Canada and Mexico still use a large number of parts built and assembled here in the US. Are you kidding me? Japanese cars assembled in the US typically use over 75% US/Canadian parts...similar numbers to Big3 branded vehicles and higher than many built in Mexico (have you read the sticker on a Ford Fusion?). And how does a vehicle using 75% US/Canadian parts, employing assembly workers in Ohio or Kentucky or California or Illinois or Indiana or Michigan or Georgia or Mississippi or Tennessee or Texas, employing designers and engineers in California or Michigan and delivered and sold by Americans NOT benefit our economy? More than 80% of the transaction price of an American-assembled Japanese brand car or truck stays in the US....how is that not a benefit to the US economy? How is a 100% imported plastic model akin to buying a 75% American full-sized vehicle? QUOTE(FUTURE_OF_GM @ Feb 20 2008, 11:50 PM) Don't forget that those lower paying 'assembly jobs' from foreign manufacturers displaced MANY great paying 'assembly jobs' from Detroit manufcaturers. And don't forget that those "lower paying" jobs are filled by people who would be paid FAR LESS if those jobs were not offered to them. If these jobs were so low paying, why would Toyota get 100,000 applicants for fewer than 3,000 assembly jobs in Texas? Because people just want to work for Toyota at any cost? No...because they're better paying than they would otherwise find in that area. Sure, those jobs may be relocating jobs from Virginia or Kentucky or Michigan, but did anyone think that those Big3 jobs may have been OVER paid? C'mon....$100,000 a year to assemble vehicles when college graduates with years of experience can't find jobs paying HALF that much? ^Hudson need I remind you that you are on a GM board.^ Have you ever taken economics, aside of where the car is built money is going across the big pond. What good is that? Oh yeah it helps Toyota fatten there bottom line.

People pay for a good quality car. When better cars are built even by American compaines people will by them and pay for them.

1992 Pontiac Firebird 'Vert V8 54K only 7.5K!
I know I love the color combo and that car will no doubt increase in value. I like the late 3rd gen and the late 4th gen cars the best.

1992 Pontiac Firebird 'Vert V8 54K only 7.5K!
Hunting on ebay and I have found this very well taken care of 1992 Pontiac Firebird 'Vert with a 5.0L V8 (LO3) 4spd. automatic, diamond gold wheels/green exterior/tan top and interior it is a sharp looking car and the last year for the 3rd gen. (That I love!) I only wish it was a 5spd. or a Trans Am. The price seemed resonable just wanted to show you guys this fune girl. SOMEONE PLEASE BUY IT! It is a great looking car that prolly will apperciate in value. Plus it is a sharp color combo I would think putting a 2 flowmasters on her would make this thing bad-ass. Here is the linky.1992 Pontiac Firebird 'Vert 5.0L V8 Green/Tan/Gold

Mark LaNeve: Camaro won't be positioned as a muscle car
I would bet that a V6 (volume/rental) will be sold and two V8's. Trust me the V8 isn't going anywhere just yet. A V8 Camaro will be pretty easy to come by like a GT Mustang. I am not worrying but not billing at as a musclecar is stupid, maybe an efficent muscle-car?
