I thought this was kind of cool. I ran right into the rear bumper with my 10-speed, though (you can see it behind the car):
-
Count me as another fan. Though I wish I could get the V6 in a less expensive model.
-
I see Consumer Reports has picked the new Impala to be the best all around sedan or some such. I hope that recognition is a good thing...

Yahoo's '50 greatest cars of all time from TV/the movies' list
NeonLX replied to balthazar's topic in The Lounge
Ha Ha. The best part is the reactions by incensed readers underneath the article. Oddly enough, I nodded my head in agreement with more of their choices than I disagreed with. -
Those Scamp pickups were zippy with the Mopar 2.2L four...
-
Thanks GMTruckGuy! I never knew about the new side emblems for the early '55s. Here's sump'm' else I seen on my walk to work:
-
Went for a walk at lunch and saw this 1954 or early '55 half-ton pickup. It had a 3-on-the-tree:
-
1966 Cad Calais hardtop sedan
-
There are still quite a few Shadows/Sundances on the roads around here (and they're even running!). I came close to buying a '94 Sundance Duster. Quick little car for the money.
-
I actually DID see a non-SS 1970 Malibu 2-door hardtop with a 400 logo and the LS3 big-block under the hood. There weren't a whole lot of them made, apparently...and many of them got "converted" to faux SS's later. This is another one of those oddballs I wouldn't mind owning.

Saw this yesterday:
-
Ah. Thanks for the history. I really lost track of most new cars starting in the late 1970s. My interest slowly came back in the mid-1980s.
-
Did the '79 come with the Olds 350? I know some were diesels, but otherwise, was the gas engine an issue? (my folks had a '78 Ninety-Eight with the Olds 350 and it ran like a champ).
-
Why is the '79 the least desirable? I kinda lost track of Toronados after about 1973. Least desirable year of that generation unfortunately... they'll have to come down in price, they've over valued it by 100%
-
Heh. Forgot the "Jack".
-
Bleh. Looked at a new Malibu over the weekend. I'd rather have my '07 Maxx with lots more legroom and cargo volume, not to mention the smooth & torquey 3.5L V6. I swear, nobody is producing a car that I'd actually want now.
-
104,000 miles on the '07 Malibu Maxx. Powertrain has been flawless, but front suspension has sucked. I'm thinking about throwing another $2K at the car because I really like it (far more than the current Malibu, which doesn't impress me one bit). My wife likes it as well (probably the most important consideration).
-
Ha Ha, that COE in the background...we used to call those "cracker boxes". What a great pic!
-
It's for sale, too. Has 38K original miles. Red leather interior, looks to be in great shape. They want $9K for it, but I'll bet they'd come down. It's a 1979, by the way.
-
I heartily approve of the XJ project. Mrs. Neon and I came up behind one at a traffic signal yesterday. Unbidden, she asked, "whatever happened to those?". Whatever, indeed...
-
Same here. There isn't much out there that appeals to me, no matter what the brand. Although I saw a new Kia Rio earlier today and thought, "hmmm....".
-
Once the Bieb is done with it, bet we could auction it off on E-bay for a hellacious price.
-
Two oldies on my walk to work this a.m.: That Catalina Safari is unbelievably clean. Even the original interior looks great.
-
I haven't seen one this clean in a long time. The sticker on the back of the car showed that it had come from a dealership in Portland. That would explain the lack of rust. I'd love to have this car.
-
You'd think I'd be all over the 300C--comfy, powerful and RWD (or is it now only AWD?)...but something about it leaves me cold. The current edition looks far better than the original, but it's still kind of awkward-looking to me. Just can't get the proportions to work out right in my ancient perceptual system.
