A perfect example of the bizarro world that is known as the used car market. This my Flex right now, private party value. I paid $12,500 for it 18 months ago.

Yep, it’s crazy. The lease my my Equinox is up at the end of the year. Since it is a base model (LS) the buyout is cheaper. I could buy a used one off the lot at 22k, or just buy mine at 15K. I was pretty much going to buy it before hand, but with all the crazy now I’ve got money aside to keep her for good….

I’m wondering what the choices might even be by the holidays…..

Yes.  I also remember how nice the sweep of the dash is, and I liked the circular gauges and how they lean back.  The last Riv's exterior was a little strange from some angles, but, from the inside, I think I would have liked being its pilot.

Plus i love the simple layout of it as well….

This was definitely random.  I was looking at photos in the review of the new Kia K5 and saw photos of the last Riv in another link.

I miss interiors and cabins like this.  A lot.

Comfy!

Really like the look of that one…..

Interesting take.

Another interesting take.

Riviera over Thunderbird.   Any day of the week ... and twice on Sundays. 

Much nicer and more interesting silhouette and interior. The front might be a little potent (probably better than being im-potent) but the side silhouette may have inspired the late '67-ish Skylark, LeMans, and Cutlass coupes with this sort of proportioning, although these newer cars had "finned" rear windows. 

While most consumers can't verbalize what it is specifically that they like about a car's design, they still zero in on good or interesting design and vote with their dollars - examples:  this, the pony cars, the colonnade coupes, Olds' last hurrah in its Intrigue, etc.

Love that color….

The market took quite a dip today - hopefully transitory - but there is some good news today:  Canada will be opening its border to FULLY VACCINATED Americans on August 9th of this year.  (I knew I did something right.)  

Sadly I think we need more of a market correction right now. Still think it is too high with everything going on right now……

While both are nice, I still like the styling of the Kia twins over these…

More of a matter of taste I guess!

Thank you. It means a lot. I’m still reeling, as it is still a shock when someone you have known for over 25 years is gone. 

It helps that I have the support of my family and friends,  and the strength of my 13 year old son who continues to inspire me in how he is handling this. In many ways, he is just like his mom.

It’s hard, but Drew is right- I tend to be positive, and try to to let life beat me down, but inspire me. She wouldn’t let me sit here and feel sorry for myself…..

Guessing the Nox will only be made in Mexico now? 

Glad to see GM helping getting these fleets going!

Hi Guys-

Sadly, my wife passed away from cancer on July 8th. Broke my heart. 😞  I will not be on much this week, as everything is happening this week. Will try to pop in when i can…..
