  1. I want to see the new 5 door.
  2. I'd be hard-pressed to tell what kind of vehicle I was in if there were no markings. The interior is so similar to so many other vehicles out now.

    Nissan Sentra

    I'm waiting to see one in person to see if it looks tippy like it does in some photos. Overall, nice. Wanna see the SE-R, or at least some sort of sport model. SE? With manual transmission.

    Nissan Altima

    I cannot hate Nissan like I can Toyota. Nice car.

    Number Five

    They're like moths to a flame.
  6. It should be used as the "Croc Eject" button. A very useful purpose. :AH-HA_wink: I like these taillights much better than the so-last-week chromed Aveo housings. The Aveo should have had these lights, and the Wave could have had smoked lenses to differentiate it. The interior is very nice, more attractive than the Cobalt's, imo.
  7. GMman, the GMT355 has the exhaust coming out the back also, with the dearest little turndown. After years of my other trucks having the exhaust dump out the right side, it does seem odd to me, still. And now the 900s are the same way.
  8. I still say from the side it looks just like a baby, malformed LaCrosse. Maybe the Elantra was cut from the LaCrosse's stomach, a parasitic twin, like that one dude in the news recently.

    Toyota Tundra

    ...except where the Ram looks like a land animal, the Tundra still resembles a Godzilla larvae to me. Absolutely hideous.
  10. loki, I am sure there's a first-gen Camaro freak here who can tell you every difference between a '67 and '68. The quickest way for me to tell is... '68 had the federally-mandated side marker lights, and I believe that was the year they did away with the vent wing windows in the doors. Someone please help clarify for us.
  11. Question: Saturn Aura's "Ocean Mist"... is that Pontiac's "Blue-Gold Crystal"?
  12. I find the reports of real, everyday owners more credible than car magazines and EPA estimates. My pickup truck regularly beats the EPA estimates, and I do a lot of city driving since moving to Lancaster.
  13. While I haven't been much of a fan of Motor Trend lately, I picked up the Sept/Oct issue of Motor Trend Classic for an article on the Corvair, and an interesting piece on the '59 Chevy's fins. This morning I'm going through, page by page, checking out the mag, and I find an editorial by Angus Mackenzie, entitled "History Lesson", and I swear, this man somehow got inside my mind and published what I (and others) have been thinking and posting here for years. Here are some excerpts: "...Henry Ford: 'History is more or less bunk. It's tradition. We don't want tradition...' The irony is Ford Motor Company might be in a whole lot less trouble right now if the folks who run it ignored Henry's advice and read a little history once in a while." "After decades of thrashing about, GM is only now beginning to coalesce into an automaker with a strong, centralized engineering, design, and product-development core supporting brands with a clearly defined place and purpose in the market." "GM is rediscovering the basics. But, ironically, this is stuff it had already figured out 50 years ago." "For far too long, Detroit has been preoccupied with building cheap clones of Japanese and European automobiles..." "The truth is, for the best part of two decades, a truck was about the only thing you could buy from Detroit that had a muscular V8 under the hood and didn't look like a jellybean. The 300C has proven that if you give Americans a real American car, they will buy it." "Camaros, Challengers, Galaxies, Bonnevilles, Caprices, Torinos, Gran Sports, Catalinas, Trans Ams. They're all history. But they ain't bunk." Bravo! This had to be said in a major publication! (And I really like how he mentions 3 proud Pontiac names in that last paragraph.)

    Number Five

    This is like a metaphor for something much bigger. Toyota v. GM, where will it end? Mr. Fly, I'm sorry man. This is so stupid that you continue to be a target. Pics please, to ease my twisted bodyshop mind.
  16. Nice to see you back, quantum. I wonder how supply and demand is working right now with the Kappa cars. Are people waiting for them? How long does it take to get a factory-order Kappa right now?
  17. Perfect. Conservative, yet modern and well-tailored. Not trendy. A+++++.
  18. Oh puhleeze... NO PEARL WHITE on our hot new Camaro. A clean, bright non-metallic white would suit the car much, much better. Crocus Yellow Black Amethyst Marina Blue Aqua Blue Medium Green Metallic I agree with moltar's 10:02 pm list, except for White Opal.
  19. in a 25 zone
  20. Sigh... just shows how worthless those huge 12 inch blingy rims are... no tread on the Escalade tires.
  21. Colt (with a capital "C") :AH-HA_wink:

  23. I really should receive something for having the trick question correct. This is outrageous. I am officially pouting.
  24. I'm guessing by the description it's a light blue with gold pearl over it to create the effect. Sounds pretty cool, can't wait to see it.
  25. I was just there this morning, building and pricing an '07 G6 GTP coupe with accessory chrome upper and lower grilles. I chose to spec it out in Blue-Gold Crystal. Has anyone seen that color in person yet? I'm really interested in seeing it, as the site doesn't do any of the colors justice.
