Alfa--Back?
Anyone seen this before? http://www.motortrend.com/future/spied_veh...o_kappa_spyder/ Apparently Alfa was supposed to get a version of Kappa. Looks like the 8C Concept.

Jerry Flint slams the G6 'vert
Speaking of which, there is no aluminum kit. It's just silver plastic.

I ain't no admin here (as a matter of fact, anywhere), but I saw this box on Chappelle's Show and made this:

2008/9 malibu int(?)
Let's see... We're still going to get complaints on how the radio is not integrated with the centre stack, the lack of a handbrake, how the ignition is on the steering column, how the gauge cluster is copying Nissan, and how superior the Camry's interior will be. But seriously, anyone see the similarity with the previous Ion spyshot interior? What I mean is, the continuous horizontal curve flow of the whole dash?

The G6 doesn't have it right in the middle like this one does. What exactly I'm saying is the amount of white and red is out of proportion.And actually the coupe's not round either.

It needs new taillights already. Can't stand having that white circle right in the middle.

C&G Discussion: Is the Solstice Pontiac's Ticket?
And the even more unfortunate thing: In '07 they knocked out the manual on the GTP down to GT... unless there's a manual coming for the 3.6.

Lotus APX Concept
I actually see Acura and Fit in it. But the powertrain's what's important. It's Lotus.

Lotus APX Concept
http://www.autoblog.com/2006/02/24/lotus-a...ncept-unveiled/ Anyone posted this? Just if Lotus was still GM and Pontiac built this to replace the Vibe...

C&G Discussion: Is the Solstice Pontiac's Ticket?
It's a step in the right direction, but we're not there yet. It's successful at attracting customers in going to a Pontiac dealership, but I'm sure the next minute when the customer sees a Wave or Pursuit sitting in the showroom they'll just undoubtedly think: "It's just a Chevy with a pig's nose" and leave. And sadly, BV was right last time when he said my G6 is a Camry wannabe. This needs to stop. Yes, the Solstice is great value for a two-seater, but I have to have a primary car before I can have one! They need better higher volume products, but here, higher I don't mean high as rebranded Chevies, but something really unique. Something like: "A 3-series for G6 money" type of car. The G5 is NOT what Pontiac needs. The idea of having Pontiac being the poor man's BMW isn't bad. Take the lower fraction of the BMW's lineup and that could very possibly be Pontiac's needs. Heck, even if Pontiac's lineup look like Mazda's, that would be nice as well. But don't forget Pontiac is with Buick and GMC now. So the lower fraction is well enough. Leave Buick and GMC to the upper section and trucks. But see a pattern here? BMW and Mazda to an extent are PERFORMANCE brands. Well, not quite Mazda, but they are trying. And this is the image what Pontiac needs, minus the quality of the old BMW and old Mazda. I'm a little off topic here, but this is what I think Pontiac needs.

Car Commercials
Oh I saw that one... but the Zoom Zoom music in the Mazda commercials gets my nerves... I remember there was one commercial back in 2002, where a Grand Am is doing a sliding drift. That one looked cool.

Choppin' Competition #19 - Pontiac G5 Coupe
This is one that I made quite a while ago before the CrystalTech era... Resubmits allowed??

Okay, Please Explain This To Me...
Technically Shanghaiese. My father is from Shanghai and mom from Canton. But I'm born in Hong Kong, so I'm more on the Canton side.And yes, there is a dish with minced pigeon meat. It's usually stir fried with minced vegetables and fried vermicelli noodles (to make it crunchy). Usually eaten wrapped in a leaf of iceberg lettuce. EDIT: Damn... this is the third time I had to edit for grammar and spelling... too much work report writing

Here comes the... Astra
I'd want to see Ghost Dog's opinion on this. I'm all for it though. Good to see Opel finally making it back to NA.

2007 Pontiac G5 (picture)
Problem is, a lot of times it isn't really extra sales. Sales just get shifted from the Cavalier to a Sunfire, in this case from Cobalt to Pursuit... I mean G5.Just pulling money out of the left pocket then put it in the right.

Okay, Please Explain This To Me...
No... not wild ones. They have avian flu

Okay, Please Explain This To Me...
Well... if we're still on the topic of pigeons... There are pigeons that are specifically bred for food. Not just going around catching wild random ones, nor endangered ones. It's just like the French eating snails. Difference in culture. Speaking of which... I haven't had them for a long time. I love roasted baby pigeons... The meat's really tender and juicy.

More Camaro concept pics
The angels look nice... but I doubt they will make it to production.

Disappointing car colors - your take on this
It depends. Gold and "Sandrift" (as GM calls it) only works for certain cars. I don't understand why GM kept this and got rid of Stealth Gray:
