Is the Zeta a for-sure thing as far as (since I'm a little myopic, for those who know my posts): 1) Release date of 2009 or 2010 2) RWD 3) larger than current W-body Impala? 4) will Pontiac, Chevrolet and Buick each get one?

Yeah, Vahn-koo-vair, baybay! Been more times than I can count. Stunning...right up there with SF for taking someone's breath away...every one I've taken there does the "Ooooohhh" from the viewpoint coming off of UBC into the Kitsilano area, with the West End and North Van in the backdrop. However, it is awfully gray (thanks for the summer pic), expensive, the women are unattractive as this is an extension of the Pacific Northwest (except for Diana Krall), a little smug (it is British in its roots) and the multi-cultural aspect isn't as "multi" anymore (it tilts to a few dominant groups) whereas years ago, it was a true mosaic. The other thing is I tell people not to get TOO excited for this is Canada's Miami. Left to right: West Van (beyond), West End, Granville Island, Yaletown, Cambie Street Bridge, Canada Place with Hyatt revolving rooftop restaurant (beyond), GM domed stadium, False Creek, Expo 86 site, Grouse Mountain (beyond). Gorgeous!

Yo, Sci, should we interpret that as a white woman and a black man? Or vice-versa.

back on track... average

I LOVE IT. Screw today's aggressive bolstering. That's like my Cutlass Brougham. Try those on a long trip! Awesome.

crushed velour interiors (I do remember them...don't you?... that's when I started becoming aware of the world around me and that decade was...ehm...unique)

So does my post 2 above yours hold water? I'm essentially looking to snag a Series III 3800 with a nice wrapper around it...that's why I'd like to see a LaCrosse with a grille similar to the one shown for the Super which is supposedly going to make its way in a more muted fashion onto the base model(s). That way I could get both the engine and a car with a silhouette I like.

Congrats...certain metallic shades of blue with tan/taupe interiors make for a very nice color combination. Happy motoring!

Yo, Sajeev, where are you doing your MBA? U of M Ann Arbor (since you love cars)? Somewhere else?

Ditto.

Good...and that's what I was concerned about. I would love to be able to defer purchasing until MY 2008 when LaX gets the new grille people have posted photo/links of...it would help the car tremendously. So, a "face-lifted" LaX and the 3800 together unless I would pick another W-body (depending on what they look like in the same MY).

Thank you. And that's why I bring up the thread/question. Some 60 degree V6s do last over 200,000 miles. For 3800s, it would be a head scratcher if they were to last any less.

I like it!
