Nyquil

Does this mean I won't get my calendars?

Who says GM resale value has gone down since their incentive binge?

"stuff?" Is that what the official state brochure says?

Oh, cool. They offer a version for people with taste and without. I'm so glad the hot engine and other features are available without the totally stoopid wing. I... actually like the front, but the rear end, with that hideous wing and those unattractive strakes in the bumper... SUCKS.

Once again, totally unflattering photography. The enhancements sound great, but the photos, it seems, do not do the vehicle any justice.

Aw snap, that 5.7L is hot, but they really don't want to get into a horsepower war with GM's smallblocks. They'll lose.

I like the 3-bar grille as a Ford styling cue, but as it is presented on the 500, it seems like the bars need just a few tenths of an inch more space between them. It really looks like a wall of chrome. My opinion has already mellowed on this thing. I am disappointed in its lack of cohesiveness. I find the taillights lack creativity in their redesign... I prefer the old ones. I think they should have changed the chrome trim around the greenhouse to fool the eye into thinking that aspect of the car is different, maybe square off the edges of the moldings just a bit to make it appear sharper. The dash appears to have lost its super-apparent graining in the pics, or else my eyes are bad. That's a welcome change, if true. I really like the passenger placement concept of this car, the high seating and beltline, the amazing room, etc... if they could only make it look good so it would become aspirational for people. As it is, it has "lame duck" written all over it. Comparing most of Ford's concepts with their production cars is like looking at two different companies' work. The 427 Concept, for example, was fantastic, and the Interceptor certainly builds on that. I sincerely wish for the Interceptor to hit production... sooner rather than later, for Ford's sake.

The Mark of Excellence is back in a big way.

What I expect Ford to do is productionize the Interceptor sedan as quickly as they can so that this car can be allowed to quietly die.

Just keep on kickin', bud.

Tragic story, Double D. :AH-HA_wink: Seriously, I'm another one of those weird people who cannot take Nyquil... it gives me a buzz, my eyes bug out and my heart races. Perhaps your body was trying to tell you something.

Looks like a serious, informative article to me...

So much symbolism and irony packed in that sentence. Powerful.

Very nice. I hope this is a serious concept that will make production. I also have a strong feeling this styling predicts the new Impala. The Impala will have traditional proportions on the Zeta platform, but this concept has "big car" and "luxury variation on Chevy theme" details all over it. The finer grille and headlight graphic, the sweep of the fender, the front wheel-to-cowl relationship, the hood lines and cowl treatment, the taillights with narrow chrome trim... I am out on this limb saying yes... we are seeing blatant clues into the style of the new senior Chevrolet.

Dag, this thing is brilliant all around. Bring it, GM!

Clearly a transition car. You know how a design comes out, is universally panned, and the manufacturer works double time on a replacement, but in the meantime, something, anything has to be done to band-aid the bland, ugly car before the hot, new one arrives? This is that car. One thing is crystal clear... this is a refresh done on the cheap by a desperate company. A lady must never show her desperation, because once people know you're desperate, it's all over. I just hope they can bide their time until sedans like the MKR and Interceptor can be brought to market.

I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about, sir. :AH-HA_wink:

Well, smack me for not reading this thread sooner. I love these sweet little informative sigs. When I get my new truck, I may ask for help in making one for myself.

No need to apologize, BP.
