Wow cire, even under the camo, it's a much better looking vehicle than the Caliber. Looks like Chrysler is back in the small car game in a big way!

So glad it's being used for its intended purpose. What a beauty!

Whoa, that's a nice lookin' little car, clete.

When I'm bored, I dream. This thread is all speculation at this point.

I never warmed to the Firenza sport models, SX and something with another initial. The sporty trim on those always looked tacked on, imo.

I'm sure there are people looking for a small car with traditional large luxury car appointments. I can't really think of another car like it, save for maybe the Volvo S40. The Lexus ES is a tick bigger in my mind. This car will find its niche I think.

I was in the same boat. I liked the Skylark T-Type, Phoenix SJ coupes, and late model Citation X-11s with cowl induction.

Wait until Satty and Booyah see this one...

Since the F150 XL trim has a black grille and bumper cap, I'm thinking it would look right wicked in the Gem Green with that black headlamp and taillamp Ford accessory kit and aftermarket black wheels, dark windows and a 2/4 suspension lowering... plus a Flowmaster muffler. (Ford even has Carhartt tan seat covers as an accessory! Cool!) The GMT900 seems old and a bit dumpy in low-end trim, with NO cool available colors, aluminum wheels or foglamps, and the Ram... meh, vinyl seats are for Depends wearers. Ford F150 is a winner. FIVE.OH!

A difference can be felt as soon as one turns the steering wheel. A heft, a deadness, an I'm not sure what to call it but it's different and not as good.

Very clean '03 S-10 regular cab for sale at a local dealer, with a 12/12 warranty. 4.3L too. But it's red. I feel like I'm being waterboarded.

I've only seen the 200 S in person, and although it is nowhere near in the same league as the 300, the sporty trim changes, at least, toughen up the car. Let us know if you find one locally and take photos please, daddy.

Yeah, wow. A turbo 4 cylinder in a "large" Epsilon Cadillac sedan. Have I missed a news article? The one where Lee Iaccoca became GM's CEO? Because the idear of it reminds me of a K-car "Imperial". Lock. Stock. And barrel.

Doesn't this look fun? <iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/SZKShqlmsHY?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

SIX FOOT TEN? I didn't realize you were such a tall drink of water!

Powertrain rumors are abounding. I even sawr a report of a 2.5L turbo four being plinked under the hood of this "Cadillac". I hope that's wrong-o.

Would LOVE to see a 2012 LaCrosse done the same way. This is custom. It's about individuality. Cheers.

Merely a return volley. And don't call me Shirley. ...and how are we going to drive what we like if these criminal standards are allowed to finally ruin our auto industry due to poor demand for the wimped-out result?

Did you txt the guy about the Blazer? Seems interesting.

I think motorcycles should be legislated out of existence. They have no purpose. They're unsafe and they have very little pollution controls. And they get criminally poor fuel economy compared to bicycles.

I'll wait to see how oddly proportioned the production car is before I give it two snaps up... or down.
