  1. In almost all city driving: 14.1mpg- 1988 Olds 98 Touring Sedan. This was based on three recent fill ups.
  2. In no particular order: Pontiac Aztec- universally hated by nearly everyone and a symbol of GM's perverted view of what a new Pontiac should be. Chrysler Sebring (2007-2010)- Chrysler takes America's favorite convertible and trashes it. The build a sedan that embodies everything wrong with Detroit as the company is sliding into the abyss. Smart - Nobody can sell more than a couple dozen in their market before be people question why anyone would buy one. Saturn Astra - GM's costly experiment to bring a competitive small car here from Europe. They give a car that is ready to be redesigned in it's home markets to a US division that built its reputation of cheep (cheeper than this) small cars. The car was too old and too expensive to be an entry level Saturn. Pontiac G3 - The car Pontiac enthusiast lose sleep over at night. An awful car, rebadged to give Pontiac owners one last kick in the gut before killing the brand. Lincoln Blackwood/etc- There simply were not enough farm owning pimps to make this a viable product. That might not be a bad thing. Honda Accord Crosstour - Seriously.....Honda you had mojo and its gone.....so far gone. GM's Redesigned MiniVans (2005)- Trying to find one that didn't start life as a fleet vehicle is a proverbial needle in a haystack. Good thing they only lasted a couple of years...Pontiac, Buick, and Saturn already had enough trouble finding customers without these things. Chrysler Crossfire- Who knew customers didn't want an old Mercedes with bad Chrysler styling...I'm sure Chrysler dealers love servicing these things since parts are hard to find and they share nothing with other Pentastars. Cadillac STS- Caddy built a competitive Sports-luxury sedan but everyone had stopped paying attention after 20 years of FWD Sevilles.
  3. I would like a copy of this as well (just saw the Facebook Post from C&G and came by to check it out).
  4. I've had two of these big Oldsmobiles (88 Delta 88 and 88 Touring Sedan) they are great cars and can really take a beating. Except for the clear coat peeling off they are hard to kill. Make sure there is no rust in the trunk on the inside of the wheel wells and you should be ok. Also The brake/fuel lines tend to rust on these. Good luck!
  5. ElectroChromatic glass would be a nice feature if the cost could be kept down. I cannot see many people spending big money for this feature like they would for an upgraded stereo or sun roof. You can get your windows tined for under $200 at many shops around here so the feature would have to compete price wise with that. Quality is another concern. Can we be sure that the quality will hold up in an automotive application. How hard would it be to repair the glass should an issue occur such as a cracked window or an electrical faliure. What about the stuff used to make transition lenses (eye glasses)? It simply reacts to the sun so it must be simpler to deal with. There are no wires or control modules to control it. Since the technology is already out in the consumer market it must be possible to find out the durability and cost of using the product.
  6. Parsons must do a lot of business because I've seen quite a few cars with their logos on them down here on the sound. I've yet to see a new Regal on the road, hopefully that will change soon!
  7. GM's newest products continue to do well. I see Impala and Malibu had good months, I wonder how much of that was fleet sales? They've sold over 400 Regals without any advertising, not bad.
  8. How well does the OnStar navigation work? What issues are there with the switch gear? How is the long distance comfort?
  9. *Discontinued sports cars of GM seems more appropriate.
  10. I like this ad, finally the Challenger gets a kick ass commercial...even if it is 2 years late.

  12. My dad had a 64 Catalina hardtop 2dr when I was small, black with a blue interior, what a car!
  13. Pontiac 6000/Chevrolet Celebrity, they used to be every where. I haven't seen a Chrysler K car in a while or the first generation of the Minivans with the quad headlamps.
  14. I got it now...oops 1970 Olds 88 Royale w/ police equiptment 1966 Ford Thunderbird 1956 Imperial Thats better.
  15. Why buy a Mercedes if you really wanted a Cadillac? Hell his mechanic is ready to turn this thing into a Caddy right now!
