That is very intresting.

I understand but I want a stick!

Interesting...

I like the Life Liberty and the Pursuit, but they could tone it down a bit and use more patriotic music. The American Revoultion has been a home-run, and the Saturn re-think have been great. (Get Pontiac with them!) I think the new stuff is trying to be to hip and boyish. Honestly I liked the late 80's and early 90's stuff with the we build excitement tag-line and they made a 165hp Bonneville SSE look like a sports car!

You happen to see many Saab's in Madison, WI. I don't know why but you do. I think Chevy needs to keep pushing the American card?

That is good news indeed! I am actually glad they got it, another reason for me to lust after one! I really want a pearl white DTS someday... This is the kind of positive press GM can't get enough of!

Actually I like the LS more than the BMW 7, Jag, S-Class and A8. Now would I rather have an LS or DTS I would take a DTS. But I would rather have an LS and they are really sharp looking cars.

My List... 1.) Impala 2.) Grand Prix 3.) Aura 4.) G6 5.) Fusion 6.) Accord 7.) Altima 8.) Avenger 9.) Mazda6 10.) Milan 11.) Malibu 12.) LaX ........................................................ Dead Last- The ugly pig face Camry...

I didn't know BMW did that, it was dropped on the Deville DHS/DTS after the 2005 model-year run. No it did not return on the DTS nor Lucerne. It was a 2,500 dollar option as I recall.

Glad your with me Toni, I would love a G6 GT Coupe with a 3.9L 6spd. and a moonroof for a "fun" car. the wife says no. Her Torrent is next on the list. (GXP I am hoping!) Then I might get a DTS or G8!

Toni had a good idea.

Pontiac- Needs the most work here. I can recall the late 80's and early 90's when Pontiac had some kick-ass T.V. commercials. They got your blood boiling I recall the 1990 Project Bonneville, that I have someplace saved on my pc, they were selling a 165hp FWD sedan and it still was exciting. Bring back the "We Build Excitement" or I'd even settle for "Fuel for the Soul". What is the lame theme they have now? (Someone please answer that...) Bring back the "Wide Track" theme and make commercials show the dramatic lines of cars. Talk about performance and vary your use of music. Chevy- In the past 2-3 years I have seen the best ad's come from Chevrolet (and Caddy) heres why. I love the "Our Country, Our Truck", it settles so well with mid-western honest hard working folk. Ad to that the fact they can still say MT Truck of the Year. I love the Ameircan Revolution theme, they have stuck with it now for 3 years, it is gaining some momentum. This is a great way to get people excited about products, also the new "People who love cars love Chevy..." Is so clever, I think they might be on something, and all the different images of people young and old with Chevy's. They even had a clever spot for the Impala. I recall seeing an Impala only commercial, on the net with wrappers and everything else and a speeding black SS through tree's. That is what people want to see, make old men driving Camry LE's and Avalon XL's think why did I buy that? Ironically enough they have a 63 Impala 409 SS setting next to it. That is a problem, I think young people are latching on well to Chevy's and all GM products in general and it is the baby-boomers whom keep trading Buicks or Chevy's for a Toyota or Lexus. They are getting customers young and some times loosing them old. That is just what I have seen first-hand. I see so many young and wealthy families in Lucerne CXL's and CXS's it amazes me, I mean like 30 something males, with good jobs and blonde (nice looking) house-wifes. Sitting next to the Lucerne is an RX-350, that needs to be a Tahoe or Enclave! I have seen a good Impala ad on fuel economy with a sliver LT. Buick- I am all for bringing back some of the old "magic" into there ad's. They certainly aren't what they used to be and the products Lucerne and Enclave for instance just keep getting better! I want to here "The Great American Road in a brand new Buick!" again, just like Pontiac they have lost there advertising mojo. I have already forgot the new Buick slogan, that is how ineffective it is, and I am a car guy. Bring back a GNX and a Regal with a Riv and the new Park Avenue get the revolutuion going at Buick already. The Lucerne gave me faith in Buick and GM as a whole and the Enclave keeps me pumped and excited for what is next at Buick. Cadillac- Keep rolling ads with "Life Liberty and the Pursuit", those are good and keep reinforcing the image of luxury. I would fancy seeing a few more main-stream ads on the CTS and DTS. The SRX ad morning ritual and shine were very clever along with the various Escalade ones. The DTS has the around and 71 and the dinner, the only excellent one is the new job. The other two are just okay, I am glad they are being more hip but something needs to be done also. Other than that Caddy is good. GMC- PUSH THE PROFESSIONAL GRADE! I can't say that enough, and stick with that slogan it has been good for them! Saturn- Rethink American and putting Accords and Camrys next to the Aura, is PERFECT. Then saying NA car of the year. That is exactly what I am talking about, rethink bling and all of that, it is like what Chevy and Caddy did. Only they did years earlier. I love the direction GM is taking Saturn, and plan to see many more on the road! Saab- Keep pushing the "Born from Jets..." and buy a few slots so people actual know they exist and show them the impressive line-up of unqiue cars they have. I love the idea of doing a new type of features on GM cars that are longer than 30 seconds on a new GM website, with acess to high quality (good photos) unlike some on the Wieck and printable and save-able ads and posters, along with wallpapers and cool videos with famous people!

Alot of hybrid drivers are know are democratic tree-huggers. Most are in there mid-50's and voted for John Kerry. This must include Flex Fuel vehicles.

Used DTS or new CXL Lucerne. Duh, and uhh this car is REALLY ugly. Fly a V8 Lucerne is now 31 or so. Under 30K was for last year. Check there site, not trying to be a smart-ass just being factual.

Sounds good to me.

Cobalt SS Non-supercharged Coupe 5spd. - 1st Tie with G5 GT 5spd. Astra XR (Hatch) stick - 2nd Mistu Lancer GTS - 3rd Civic Si - 4th Corolla S 5spd - 5th (yes I put a Toyota on my list)

Sounds good to me. Give me that one in the Colorado!

Toronado's always were an excellent looking car.

Thanks sir!

It was a good read. Intresting.

I know the buttoms look the same. I dunno they might be. Holden had it first then Pontiac... Now Honda, not often Honda takes a styling cue for Pontiac or GM. :AH-HA_wink:

I think it could count. I think they made like 2 or 3. Because MT got to drive one at low speeds under like 50mph.

Actually I was in on a road-trip to Milwaukee last weekend. I just had a nice back-drop and took 'em. Fly if I ever come to Florida we will and have a Bon-abration! My son would just love you! The front Bonneville plate cover is in my sons room waxed and all on this wall! I just got my new rear Bonneville badge today in the mail because my chrome on my "V" was flecking off due to, too much waxing and then I wiped it with a rag quick and snagged the conner. It isn't bad but will get worse so I got a new one. That way someday when it is old it will get a new one. I just am being more careful around badging on all my cars. My wifes Impala has white wax in all the tight places, I use a tooth-pick on the SLE! Thanks for the kind words, it is a fine looking car, and the interior is just okay, but I bought it for the style, power and the 3800/dual exhaust tips. (I could have had a new SE for less!)

Okay here are the photos! Enjoy and tell me what you think. Some were take with my Song Cyber Shot H1 (5.1mpg) and my new Pentax K100D (6.0mpg) that I love!

Not me I like the 2004-2005 Bonneville GXP and 2005 Bonneville SLE the best, along with the new G8 and also liked the GTO.
