A Horse With No Name

I would have liked to have seen Pontiac stay as a specialty division. And they really effed up at getting rid of Hummer.

Still love Ford products of that era though.

....hell...regarding the SS...they never marketed the last one. Unless you were a nerd from automotive forums you never knew the damn thing existed. I am not saying GM is faultless...see above remarks....

Exactly. I think my anger at the Domestics is at them building this stuff...doing much better with Ford now that they seem to be getting out of that market.

Mustang would be a fantastic choice. I am considering that option myself.

Exactly. They never needed to build the G3.

There was good and bad in it....I do wish Pontiac was still around.

I would rock one....thinking of CPO stinger for my next car.

And a sadder one at that....glad I grew up when I did. Thank you for the clarification. BMW has built a lot of fantastic cars through the decades...but given the styling excesses of the current gen, I pretty much consider current Gen BMW products to be power-plant donors for a more interesting vehicle. Hennessey is crooked as hell... GM would be an entirely different company right now if the whole BK and market crash thin g haddn't happened. A modern G8 to go head to head with BMW and Acura...hell yes, please.

That was about the time Cadillac started to become a really hot brand again.

I understand the sentiment behind it, but yes, it is an overstatement.

IT's the one feature on the car people actually drop coin for, why not make it huge.

There is some level of GM parity here, because that BMW interior just Screams Pontiac G6. They did handle well. I almost bought a really clean one about a decade ago. And here I have to agree with you. However, since that time BMW has gone downhill IMHO and Cadillac has gone uphill.

I don't want to start trolling or smack talking...but IIRC he is an adult. My neighbor had a similar car in white.

And even most teenagers now could care less.

Probably driving downhill. Lots of variables like wind speed and track surface make 1 MPH irrelevant.

IF you hit 200 plus miles per hour on the way to the golf course, you are doing it either very wrong or very right. Really, at 2000 miles per hour should be modified with full safety eq1uipment and operating at a sanctioned event at an actual race track. Lots of better choices than the caddy and the BMW for that. GM does compete in Nascar, and used NASCAR race cars are fairly cheap for what you get. There are vintage racing organizations that race them. QA vintage Impala SS or Monte SS, and a GMC Denali as a tow vehicle and you are set. Nothing Mercedes builds is anywhere near as competitive for affordable racing. The Sprinter has a very low production option Germany only that has a Maybach V12, so obviously all Chevy vans are junk. Or so the argument would go.

Good thing....given how hideous the front end of that thing is, no one should look at it. Hopefully the tail lights are not quite as hideous.

Which is why I love living in a dynamic world. Pulled up to a pump last night that still sold E85 as well as gasoline,..was not sure ethanol was still a thing... Yeah, another neighbor bought a King Ranch F series...I think NASA spent less putting Armstrong on the moon. Nor can they afford to ignore the future. GM and Ford once owned the North American Auto Market and they ignored a ton of trends...How many Hyundai, Benz, Mazda, Toyota, Honda, Lexus and the like do you see in nearly every parking lot?

Rumor is he likes his women airbrushed as well. And here in some ways I will agree with you. Niether is the Miata....it isn't a bad car for its segment. Quit comparing cars from the 50-90K segment to cars that cost 150K. It's intellectually disingenuous. And you are biased towards Cadillac....I love Audi....and will tell you....it's every bit as nice. In fact I might prefer the Cadillac version myself, honestly.

This just singularly the worst luxury car styling I have seen in half a century. And this is among the best. In my history here I have trash talked GM a lot of times, not a fanboi of any brand....but this is just plain hot. In it's own way, 58 Eldorado Biarritz hot. The Rolling Stones sang a song with rather obscene lyrics about a dead man doing something....the Caddy pics above would make a dead man feel something. And now I am starting to feel like Olds Hurst because I am posting music videos while talking about cars. Someone please slip something into my coffee to tranquilize me before I post any more.... (Horse ducks from wrench thrown at him from Montreal.,...)

ICE has come a long way and will be with us for awhile.

I love that photograph...would have loved to lived during the 50's and enjoyed 50's cars.

Would not be the first time that GM stepped on to an upturned rake, figuratively speaking.

Then the 90's and 2000's are largely the reconstituted dogfood of the steak world. Give me a 75 Olds 98 or a 2018 Cadillac CTS-V....not all but an awful lot of what is between is happily crushed and recycled.
