  1. GM needs a PR offensive. It needs to start with the Solstice and continue with every new or significant model across the board. It needs to show both EPA and real world fuel economy numbers. And it absolutely, positively has to be better, more intriguing and more exciting than everyone else. If PR cant get its act together, it doesn't matter if Captain Rick isn't there to talk shop with the media.
  2. The Z-06 is an amazing car no matter how you slice it. Think of it this way, if you want more performance take the extra 20 Grand to Lingenfelter Performance Engineering and I am SURE they will give you something to outrun the Viper.
  3. King of Bling? I dont know if I like that title. Maybe "King Cadillac" would be better. Bling is a word that needs to disappear.
  4. Unfortunately Buick does! But I digress... This car can be successful if they market it right. Build the customer base before you start running your mouth. Otherwise, GM will be laughed at for overpromising and under delivering.
  5. If Buick would have released it in a simple 2 model line-up I think they would have had a hit. Also, to really complete with the likes of Lexus and Infiniti, then only the Northstar V-8 and 3.5 DOHC V-6 should be offered. I have no problems with the starting base price, but then to really make a statement, keep your option packages simple and relatively expensive. To rebuild Buick is going to take time. It may not be as profitiable as GM would hope, but I really believe it can be done. It just cant be done overnight.
  6. I dont know. After seeing a couple DTSs this week, maybe a black DTS would be worth the extra 15k. Those are truly impressive cars when you see them in person.
  7. I like the Lucerne a lot, and have even thought about getting one, but come on. To say that it would compete with the Infinity M-35/45 is asking a lot. It costs too much for too little features and then that name...
  8. I like everything about the new trucks except that the 6-speeds are only available with the biggest engines. They need to offere these with all engines not just the big ones. GM is going to be talked about badly for not making this transmission standard across the range.
  9. Well I can hardly wait to see any of them. The sooner the better. I hope someone gets pictures and posts them as soon as possible.
  10. Its not that its ugly, it just looks wierd. But what do I care, I still wouldn't get one.
  11. If they add AWD to the cobalt they should really make it an option across the board of other cars. While the Cobalt is nice, why not offer AWD on cars that really NEED it. Like the Grand Prix GXP for instance.
  12. Looks good from what can be seen. If they are under wraps, I am sure that there are going to be some more spy shots coming out soon.
  13. Thats a great deal on the GTP, but where is the profit in this?
  14. I think we all agree they SHOULD do it. But I think of it like this, if the GMT900 doesnt at least look like it will break even, then dont expect big spending from GM anytime soon. I just will have to wait and see.
  15. Yeah a blue on would be nice. Maybe when gas prices go down a bit.
  16. They did a nice job cleaning up the DTS. I figure with AWD and another 60hp it would eat up the competition. I remember reading that XMS of Southern California was working on a supercharger for the Northstar. I couldn't imagine what some managed extra horses would do for this car.
  17. Overall it's a nice car. Since it won't be coming here soon, lets hope the Europeans like it.
  18. That was one of the funniest commercials I have seen since the Budweiser Bullfrogs.
  19. I'm starting to see that its not the pricing but the feeling of getting a great deal that drives people to buy at "Employee" prices. Value Pricing isn't much different but people don't see it as good of a deal. If GM came out and said, Value=Employee when it comes to pricing, then maybe people would notice.
  20. I still say Buick needs a big, proudly Buick sedan. Roadmaster just isnt the name i would pick though.
  21. This has to be a commercial. If not now then definitely by the end of the year. Its a great story.
  22. I like it. The bigger wheel and tire package helps a lot. So if the Avalance looks this classy, what will the EXT look like? Hmmm.....
  23. As much as I would love to believe ALL of this, some does work. The Camaro and Corvette, I definitely see making it to production. But come on, Buick Roadmaster? One, the name says really old people. Two, do we really need another 2 seat luxo cruiser? I thought cadillac had that sewed up. Now if it was a lengthened 'Vette chassis, so it could seat four, then I would believe it.
