  1. You need to reread what I wrote ...
  2. Could you imagine VW making that commercial? The looks on people's faces alone when they saw it on TV, would be priceless. It would get VW noticed ...
  3. EpiPen
  4. Happy Birthday Boyz ...
  5. New Star Trek Movie Trailer, enjoy:
  6. During the 2004 Olympic games in Athens, the Greek woman (her name escapes me now) who was in charge of the games, always referred to the Italians and Greeks as "Same Face, Same Race".
  7. Not everyone shares that reverence for Holden on this board, peanuts indeed ...
  8. So I take it you're Italian from that comment, perhaps not though. I am half Italian, my father thought I wasn't Italian enough, so when we moved to Plano, TX from Germany, I attended an Italian Catholic grade school there. I'm not a big fan of Italian autos, the good ones always seemed expensive and the cheap ones were constantly breaking down. To me Italian and British cars are on par with each other as far as reliability goes, but to each their own ...
  9. Did you throw up on your visitors?
  10. Good luck to Fiat on that, Chrysler seems to be the albatross around the neck of anyone they have dealings with ...
  11. Remember we are all about what makes sense in these days of budget constraints ...
  12. You said the chassis would not be enough, they were floaty because of GMNA's intervention. It would have been better if left as it was ...
  13. Last I checked there was going to be a converged Sigma/Zeta platform that will encompass six versions on three wheelbases ... Speaking of Sigma, didn't FIAT Buy the rights to use Cadillac’s Sigma Platform last Feb? Wasn't Alfa Romeo re-engineering almost all of its models from front wheel to rear wheel-drive (RWD). Since the FIAT conglomerate had practically no usable RWD platforms. Wasn't Alfa about to ink a deal with GM to use The General's Sigma platform, currently underpinning the Cadillac CTS, SRX and STS. Alfa's plan was to use Sigma for its 169 executive sedan, the 159 small sedan, the Alfa Spider convertible, the Brera Coupe and for a new generation of smaller Maseratis, as I recall.
  14. The Catera chassis was not a purely designed German chassis, as Cadillac itself made major changes to it to give it that nice floaty feeling that their customers at that time desired. Had Cadillac left the chassis as is, or tuned up a notch or two it to match BMW or MB sport suspension that Europeans were use to and given it a decent gas and diesel engine, the Catera name might have still been around today instead of the name CTS.
  15. I always knew Toyota drivers were dickless and had no balls, now this confirms it ...
  16. The U.S. car market is the biggest and most competitive on the planet. Still, there are several wild, exciting and unique vehicles that cannot be bought here, no matter how much money you are willing to lay down. Many of these rolling wonders are designed and built by tiny boutique automakers that cannot or simply will not shell out the millions of dollars needed to certify their creations for sale in the New World. Others are so radical in design and purpose that they just wouldn't conform to the various U.S. safety and regulatory standards. And a few more are so exclusive and built in such small numbers that they are all spoken for before even rumors of their possible existence reach American ears. Have we piqued your interest yet? Well, here are 10 of the coolest cars you can't get here in the States. As you'll see, they are sexy, powerful and very desirable. Welcome to the world of the unobtainable. See Link for the cars: http://editorial.autos.msn.com/listarticle...p;topart=sports
  17. This would have been better if it said when you only stop for pussy ... IMHO
  18. I would have to agree. What GM doesn't understand about Europeans is that when it comes to the vehicles that they drive, they are very nationalistic and support the home team. They will 1st look at what's being produced in their home country, then region, then Europe as a whole. Too bad North Americans don't think like that ...
  19. Happy Birthday Dave.
  20. For your viewing pleasure:
  21. The problem with that is, technically Holden is GMDAT's parent company. GM's holdings were formally purchased by GM Holden Ltd which holds a seat on GMDAT's board.
  22. If I were you, I would ask Daddy Warbucks who posted above me, to give you half of the money ...
  23. In a word, YES ...
