They are looking good, how old are they now ? I didnt know you had to give one up. They will be heartbroke for some time. I did this with 2 7month old boys years ago, one went to a good home for sure, the other went with a young enlisted couple to..........Georgia, I was ashamed, still am, thats what happens when you get in a fix and the reason why I have no puppys from this pack.

Their nice dogs. Im alittle concerned about that type of "breeder" but wont get all negitive. My first dogs were not the "best bred" dogs in the world but they were a great bunch, a few genetic health problems but they were great friends, workers and pretty fast for Malamutes

"Natalie Wood always reminds me of this lady, due to a particular movie" They were in Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, it was at least an interesting movie They are about the same age within a year or so. I dont judge people for where they came, Im sure there are great people living in Tacoma just the same as there are rotten people living in the places of great claim to fame. The sad part is when they forgot from where they came, as was one of Marilyns problems, Im sure she had her moments of reckoning toward the end. Ya gotta wonder what it was with those older actresses, maybe doctors made it too easy and they just got all wacked out........like Judy Garland and so many others. Well Judy started young.........like our boy Mikey we all see how that worked out for him too. Then theres Wynona Ryder....... must be it messes you up, all the fame and pressure, ease of life, money money money, then nothing.

Small cars may very well be a necessity in 10 years. Something is going to give, like it did in the 70/80's. Small cars are great but it shouldnt mean they are made cheap. GM is going to need to build a few excellent small, solid, well equiped cars to help get rid of the urban legends. Today is a good time to start. Chevy badges might not be the answer Im looking for. The situation we are in now with gas Im wishing for an old 1900lb Rabbit Diesel with vinyl seats and crank windows............so how far have we really progressed ? It would still cost over 4 dollars a day to get to work. The problem I noticed with some small cars is the front wheel house intrudes into the area one would like to occupy with the left foot, I mean I realize left front tires are somewhat mandatory but perhaps its time to LOOSE the "cab forward" stroke of genious and put some space between the driver and that left front tire. Of course we could always move the front axis forward........and call it axis forward........hey maybe that would be class leading........... <_<

Thats interesting, I went straight from my 91 Regal Limited 2dr. into a Intrigue for a test drive and felt it was less. There was another car on the lot I was more interested in so maybe I didnt give it enough chance. The Intrigue was a car I wanted, to bad that 50th Eighty Eight was there, it just robbed the show. Maybe the Intrigue was heavier than the old Regal and that changed the feeling. I enjoyed my drive in the CXS but that felt like a downgrade from the LSS which it would be naturally. I imagine a G2 Aurora or something really sporty like a GTP or comp G or Bonneville GXP would be our next car. I can see it is going to be hard to downgrade.........so we wont. Thats how I felt looking at the .......ahem........imports.........serious step back for more money...........no thanks!

Natalie Wood always reminds me of this lady, due to a particular movie. Something about her for me though

Styling Trivia : Did you know the Boattail was............hang on..........its gonna hurt.......... RETRO inspired ! no wonder it looks so damn good, they looked back and got inspired from some of the best of the past. Now the Lucerne on the other hand just looks damn good.

sounds good to me. It would be nice if they did a minor overhaul to all Lacrosse but maybe its not worth it when developing new platforms are of greater importance. Still a new facia, how much could that cost ? It would be inline with Buicks new look rather than having two very different appearences.

my apologies for responding to this post but somehow Im not seeing the balance here. Im supposed to relax, but its OK for this little group to continue what they have been up too ? Just look at the turn of events on every product post, where it begins to go sour, the efforts by many to dispell the myths. Yet the focus remains unrelentless that everything is inferior and will not end until we all succomb to the same beliefs that everything GM is inferior. I have not disrespected anyones opinions, however I believe that the opinions of those of us that approve of whatever it may be......is trudged upon quite heavily and very disrespectably. All good is over ridden by whatever little nit picky item could be pulled out for ammo. I have spent some time pointing out these various statements, as have many others. I just want it to stop, enough is enough, we have page after page of the same dark cloud on every topic. Its never a discussion. Its always we are wrong and turned into some kind of arguement even when we have legitamate proof or explainations. they say "dont shoot the messenger".........so dont shoot me, Im sending a message that is getting a bit rediculous and overbearing.

NO ! None of us are MISSING ANY "POINT", you guys just have your little "point" and want to keep shoving it in everybodys ribs, after awhile the one getting poked is going to stand up and say SHUT UP ! YOU TURBO ENZL and HUDSON are missing the point..........we are sick of listening to you destroy every product thread on this forum with your dark cloud. We are sick of all your negitivity..........just like your little speal you just had where you totally discredited the LeSabre . Which sold 114,000 in 04, not bad for a small nitch division considering Cadillac sold only 234,000 TOTAL or how about everybodys little runt puppy dog saturin @ 212,000 total. get ready everybody - copy and paste for the 200th time the "fleet" speal, cause we all know thats whats comming next..........I just f@#ked up and gave a sales figure........you all know that only invites..........fleet..........fleet...........fleet.........fleet....... If you guys hate GM products so much and have always hated GM products.........why do you come here ? Its apparent to me its for the sole purpose of downing the product and casting a dark cloud on every thread. There is just no logical reason what so ever why people that hate GM's so much would just keep popping up on a GM forum, and ever product topic that there is. get ready guys, now comes the part that makes this dark cloud acceptable........"but GM is our favorite car company..........we too are GM fans (dont drive or own any) but we still are GM enthousiasts, we only care about what is best for GM (we're sure bashing the products is best, they all always sucked in the first place)" yarite ! your here for the sole purpose of having fun degradeing our cars......it must be some kind of thrill. What do you do when not here, wonder various GM dealership lots, looking for prospective customers to point out all the flaws you percieve and point them the way to your favorite Honda or Toyota lot ? So how about getting the point...........we are sick and tired of having every thread turned sour because the gang hates GM products.

"but you're making me sound tired"..........NO !..........you are making your own.... sound.... TIRED............ Really Dude........enough is enough, this repeative dark cloud on every product topic is sickening, pages and pages of the same thing slightly reworded and reworked. Find a better and more productive way to exert your ambitions.

After the CIA got done plugging her for information that could be used in an assination attempt they killed her to prevent a leak

now theres an example of "not getting it"

It cant be revolutionary using previous drivetrains and platforms. Its great for the next Buick, I mean wasnt the 00 LeSabre such a disappointment from at least the sheet metal aspect......though I do know people that liked it.....younger car people too......something about having a modern take on old chop top hotrods.......not for me. The revolutionary GII G body was the Aurora.........so how did that go ? I believe it also had all the interior layout appeal most seem to like.......so how did it go ? Someone said something about Caddy having wheel feature and Buick not......this stems to another one of my comments, elsewhere, about coddling divisions and seemingly thinking they need to one up within the corporation.........this will kill divisions in these times. I believe another member has also said the DTS has these better materials, I can only ask......are the materials that much more expensive or is this more coddling ? I think alot of people are going to miss the soft cushyness of the Park Avenue and Regency types or like the NYer's, where you sit in the seats and they form around you...........ahhhhhhh, so nice !

I like telescoping wheels, hell my 64 Alpine had one. I enjoyed it on my buddies C5. Long legs and I put the seat back but I like the wheel closer, so Id use tele, Im sure. I dont care about the lever action GM wheel, works great for me, but ya know........ya gotta keep up with the Jones. It only took me one try to know I didnt want to pull the lever without holding the wheel, sometimes it pays to get left behind. I drive with wheel pretty much down and need to raise it up to get out, its habit and I like it, its fast and handy and works for me.......especially those old two spoke 8:00 - 4:00 wheels

Yea that Honda commercial was stupid but saddest part is many probably were deeply touched by it what about the new one "its hard to ??listen to the engine with you doin all that yackin"........ Mazda isnt it ? These people are selling excitement, enthousiasm with a sence of humor. Acura commercials are really serious arent they? I guess I should pay more attention but after all its commercials we are talking about, they dont play them louder for nothing. Still I think GM needs to fire their promotional people, they are undercover double agents working for the Koreans and Japanese.......you know, like the magazines.......

I'd be worried, GMC/Chevy, Ford and Dodge.....now they have to stay ahead of this thing and once again we have the American economy versus the rest of the world economy so its going to be near impossible to out wit the Japs and the endless hoard of money we have provided for them.........but thats right.......their American now anyhow.........so its OK Someone locally has one of those new Titans is it ? Nissan, great big chrome grill, I must confess looks really good but it hurts like hell....this is the land of GM, Ford and Dodge trucks, now everything is changed. We now, as of this week, have our first foreign owned gas station/convieniant store.........in a two station town..........damn ! This location was a privately owned business up to about 5 years ago, then it went "chain", now the chain changed and ......well ? I now go elsewhere, time to burn that check cashing card. Yep, Id be worried alright tic toc tic toc tic toc tic toc tic toc tic toc tic toc tic toc tic toc tic toc tic toc

Hey Reg, ya never know, swivel bucket seats would be "class leading" I gotta admit, as time goes on Im really finding myself quite interested in a G2 T/top TransAm........Id even grow my hair back..............if it would grow now it just looks more like Taxi Jim when Im over due........ Seriously I would think this Camaro would be convertable ized, though it might suffer torsional rigidity as well as the usual weight gains.

now there was something of value........thank you !

Must be I missed the V8 part, I was thinking base Luzerne 29,999. Then imagining, radio delete, plastic hubcaps, "crank windows" you know what I mean, the car that cant be found on the car lots. Like a few summers ago when looking at CTS, the sticker said base around 28 or 29 but all of 20 some CTS were 31 or better. they even had 2 V's. I believe as a socioty is it time to move beyond the 9.99 mentality Fly - Im not sure what commercial you are refering to but Im serious, I dont see the Acura or toyota or Mazda commercials to be so internally degrading. They promote their product with performance and feature touts when so many, not all of GM's seem to be about expence or somehow lame The commercials I see for the Olympics are interesting and creative but, Im still undecided on whether the're good or not. I really believe the competitions commercials and product promotion are far superior to what GM has done.

Popular Science and Popular Mechanics were always on the end stands at Dads and Grandpas armchair. I only remember McCahills review of the mid 70's Matador coupe, mainly because Dad had one. He mentioned how the car did the perfect 4 wheel drift, neither over or understeering but predictable 4 wheel drift........he was 100% correct, that is how the car handled. His artical on the Porsche 930 turbo was soley responsible for turning my interests from a Cuda and such to European sports cars. Which is why I had a brief magazine period in the early 80's but with Road and Track only, the few C&D or MT's I bought did not have what I was interested in.........now we see what brings us to todays automotive Shakespearian enquirians Magazines and network TV/radio will live on, there is enough population to make profit from even a small percentage of sales..................and with Toyota and Honda spending some of the money saved on cheap labor..........ah never mind

NOTICE : the lack of chimeing in on this topic its amazing whats legal and whats illegal in this country, typically I would think that could be classified as grand larceny........multiple counts

Topic title : Detroit's Pony Car Dilemma Yes GM should develope and finish the platform for the Camaro and a Buick and Pontiac flagship as well as Holden. While at the same time developing a better midsize conventional car platform......which Im sure they are ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! and tightening up on the exisiting product that is currently on the market.

No !..........what was your point ? Whos doing the arguement here ? Might be a big surprise to you gang members but alot of us dont come here looking for an arguement........we come here because we actually own and drive and LIKE General Motors automobiles...............HELLFRIGGINO ! Do you expect owners, drivers and REAL GM fans to cower to you? rather than cowering to what ever your problem was here, how about this? " GM s 6 speed is the most advanced auto overdrive in the world with some of the highest torque capacities anywhere" first please notice the word SOME ! Then realize you just shoved a million dollar car in a guys face that was only thinking about production cars for people to drive. Now Id like to be cute and say "try again" but I'm not into "cute" so I'll be more realistic and honest.......why dont you find a Toyota dealers web site and hang out there ?
