I WET MY PANTS!
I came out of the grocery store tonight and lo and behold, a brand new yellow Z06. I swear, the feeling, it was like having sex for the first time again. All polished, yellow contrasted against the darkness of night. MY OH MY that rear end looks good! I complimented the passenger who was getting in. "NICE car,!" I said......the reply was, "It's FAST! VERY fast...." Ah, the day I became a man........

Edmunds: Japanese First Drive: Honda Fit
my prizm (corolla) was a 99 model, i think it had 1.8l/125hp and vvt. in any case, it might be the same or darn close to the same that is in the vibe and corolla still today. i had a 5 speed stick also.

Check this out: 1981 Park Avenue Diesel
from what I recall my dad always saying about the GM diesels was that the head bolts were not capable of handling the strain of the diesel motor and that mostly it was the headbolts that went on them.

mustang, car style, like fashion, goes in trends and cycles....building do also by the way. anyways, perhaps the acceptance of the 300 chrysler and recent rejection of aero maybe signifies this sort of thing is coming around the horn again. with much better build quality I hope! LOL.

Saturn Poised to Steal the Show
the impala MC small block HAS to fit into the Enclave. IMHO if it fits in the Impala, it fits in the Enclave.

CAW Approves Camaro Changes
are you sure? GM has done dumber things...... yet if this car is built in CANADA it would make sense to make the hometown car winter friendly.

Edmunds: Japanese First Drive: Honda Fit
they had a second fit on the floor that was open and i sat in that one. Didn't like it. Versa looked cool, but what's the point, get a new Sentra. well, as far as power, my Prizm was under 2500 pounds and had 125hp and that wasn't enough. Under 50mph or so it was ok, but not even fervent shifting of the manual could make it safe transport in 65+ long distance traffic. JMO.

reminds me of our 81 Electra diesel. AWESOME car. 30+ mpg, ran all day. UNTIL the inevitable. My dad was a diesel implement mechanic so he had a love for diesels, but for all the GM engines he rebuilt (there were many ), he had someone else fix ours when it went KER-POP. He always wanted a Mercedes diesel or a small VW diesel. It was likely the best car he's owned aside from the KER-POP and the Seville he's got now. The Electra was not as TACO inside as the PA.....the seats were attractive with grippy cloth and lacked the pillowy look of the barcaloungers in the Park Avenue. Honestly, one of the niches that could make GM a leader again is to revive the big powerful v8 RWD diesel sedan. Think S-Class at a middle class price. The press would rehash old history but honestly, GM would have a lot of fans who would love a nationwide cruiser that would sip fuel at 80+ mph all day. Give it a 10/100 powertrain warranty to back it up. And this is one area where Buick could recarve a niche in the US. Imagine an S-class sized multi-displacement diesel large challenger that can exceed 35 mpg on a trip? there was a sense of 'event' riding in the Electra/Park Avenue and Ninety Eight of this body style and era.....likewise with the concurrent Riv/Eldo/Toro triplets of this year. This was GM at the top of its game in terms of luxury cars. NO ONE wanted a Ford or Chrysler. These cars were what folks aspired to. (Barbara Streisand singing 'Memories' in the background.......) Man, I SOOOO want that car.......that and my 77 Century/Regal

ACTUALLY, the buff books have become quite lenient over the last couple years or so (ever since Mercedes cars went in the tank) about getting on MFR's case about these expensive cars to the point where they expect multiple problems due to all the bells and whistles and crap that can go wrong. Yet, a basic family hauler for 20 grand gets killed in the press if it has a leaky tire or a rattle on the dash.
