The Future of Buick - Autoweek
I am not a huge Buick fan but I would ask smk to ride in a new Buick Lucerne CXL V8 or CXS and bet he finds it very impressive quality and all. Or better yet drive a new Enclave. Buick has proven they can do it, and be a poor mans Lexus. Yes a Lucerne CXS pushes right over 40K with options, well into Lexus territory. Don't know what he is talking about. Yeah sales have gone down but Buick's reliability is one of the best in the industry and with good new products like the Lucerne and Enclave I have ALOT of hope for Buick. In fact in 2004 if you would have asked me the same question I would have said kill that old fart brand. I have even toyed with getting an Enclave CX or Lucerne CXL! I would watch what you say and suggest you drive and spend some time in an excellent new Buick product before you bash so much. There is light at the end of the tunnel. With the new China developed (I would assume good looking) Regal and various other products like the new Park Avenue on the way BUICK WILL LIVE! And might become a more young hip Lexus-ish brand but uhh thats right older people don't drive Lexus's right? WRONG you see them all the time... Go ahead call them an old fart brand too. Think before you speak. Simple and DON'T DIS ANY BRAND ON A GM FORUM! THAT IS MY ADVICE. I don't love Saturn but I certainly don't bash them. They even are getting better. Saab actually is making GM money can turn into an Audi/Volvo beater if they keep working on it. The 2003 9-3 actually gave me hope as did the somewhat washed out 2006 9-5. Good products can erase bad images Buick has some good ones like GNX, GSX, Riv and even the old Supers. Buick heritage is rich time to cash in on it. And with Buick China being a huge success you can bet you will see more modern looking and luxurious Buick's here in the states because of them. Buick China is in part saving Buick America. With almost a million sales and the on-onslaught of the imports and a dying demographic at the time they had no place to go but down. But trust me with products like the Lucerne and Enclave they can turn around. There is even an owner on this forum who owns two BMW's and a Lucerne they can do it... Don't even start bashing BMW...

The Future of Pontiac - Autoweek
Yeah I know about Lutz. Happen to have alot of respect for the man... Gee he gave Pontiac two kicks the GTO and the Solstice. He also gave the greenies and Chevy a Volt. Gotta love Bob. Pontiac would no be where it is today without the best selling roadster in the US the Solstice or the GTO that paved way for the next generation of RWD Holden/GM developed cars that will be introduced within the next 4 or so years including the sexy new G8!

The new CTS is that chubby?

The Future of Chevrolet - Autoweek
Dumb to ditch a name people know and can prolly associate various memories as a child with. Chevy sold alot of Impalas to families back in the day. Maybe the American companies are yet to have there hey-day with products like the new RWD Impala that can hopefully be some-what retro and jog owners memories of the good old days or young folks looking for performance!

Update Page 2! GM is daring me to look elsewhere for a new vehicle
It is always disappointing when a loyal GM owner has a problem with his or her car. If you have very bad luck which you have Walt I do not blame your for looking at another brand. I am going to second what GMTruck said... Dear General Motors, As a loyal life long customer and owner of 8 GM vehicles throughout my life I would hope you will make it right for Walt. It is very important to be able to keep good customers as he is. I hope someone is listening and can address this problem shortly. Thanks J. Noel (Loyal GM Owner) _____________________ 2005 Pontiac Bonneville SLE 2001 Chevrolet Impala Sedan 1992 Cadillac Sedan Deville 1990 Pontiac Grand Prix LE Sedan 1987 Olds Delta 88 Sedan 1977 Pontiac Bonneville Sedan 1973 Chevrolet Nova SS Sport Back 1971 Pontiac Bonneville Sedan

I still say the Impala has more name power. The Impala is well a legend from the '63 409's to a '67 Sport Back SS 427's. The Caprice was more of a granny car is that really what Chevy wants? I think calling the more plain jane lux models Caprice is okay. But I would still do like Chevy is now LS, LT, LTZ and SS, with varying motors and trannys.

New Silverado 2500 HD Ad...
I found new Chevy Silverado HD images and could resist making a new ad, going right after Toyota. So I did. Tell me what you think! Feel free to comment and enjoy the ad how-ever you wish!

Chevy HHR is successful
Not suprising to me. See tons of them around here. Driven by young and old a-like. Do realize some of them are fleet sales. Not alot but enough you see them with bar codes.

FIRST LOOK: SAAB 9-7X Aero
Is it a 2008 or 2007 model year. I though the 9-7x was gone after this year. I want one.

Tundra Outselling Sierra 1500?
If they are giving so much on the new Tundra what will they end up doing next year to move them... If in fact they are having to push them off the lots.
-
Tundra Outselling Sierra 1500?
Ahh that is only because the Tundra's have a bunch of money on the hood. By all accounts the Turd failed to make as big of a splash as Toyota hoped.

Toyota Electric Car May Only Have Half the Range of GM's
Was it that far. I think all the EV's got crushed when they were pulled from service tho. I saw one EV in my life. This is good GM is doing this. Although I don't see myself in a hybrid for the next ten years.

The Future of Pontiac - Autoweek
Pontiac's volume might go down but it won't be enough to merit killing them off. Trust me, they are staying. They will sell less cars but the RWD push has become clear. Agree or not it is coming some of it will be good, other parts will hurt them more because they can't sell cars in volume.

The Future of Chevrolet - Autoweek
Labeling it the Caprice would be a huge mistake, because in order to due that you have to drop the Impala name. Unless the sporty one was Impala SS and other one Caprice.
