On the diesel front, I think the government needs to relax the restrictions just a skosh - the benefits are to big too ignore.
-
I think the thing to remember here, is that even in a world of $5/gal. gas, cars like the Spark are at the extreme end of the spectrum. Couple that with a known cultural resistance to tiny cars, and the wisdom of selling the car comes into question. Might be a good idea, might not. It would certainly be a gamble.
-
Sure would.
-
One sometimes has to wonder if GM might still be using scrolls, but let's hope not.
-
Scrolls, eh? They will likely go back to the Firebird era.
-
Exactly true. It's time for that sort of thing to stop, people who are already down about something don't need to be repeatedly kicked in the teeth.
-
This is the part that matters to me. Caddy just isn't my thing, but the way they are doing the CTS lineup most certainly is.
-
Would anyone here buy a Spark? Would enough people buy one to make it worth GM's efforts to make it available? Those are open questions. Demand for such extreme microcars seems to have a shelf-life measured in weeks and months rather than years, so I have my doubts about the viability of such a product. Still, if an attractive one could be designed, it could sell on that strength alone. I'm just not sure that it's possible.

Design Competition For Oldsmoboi'S Birthday

Some members need a nudge on this. I can almost see this car, but have no skills to render it. -

The nose would be a key element. -
Interesting.
-
Nah. It is what it is.

I don't know about the need for the formal roofline, but that miles-long hood is a must. -
Teens protest disciplinary action at Cape Cod high school
Camino LS6 replied to Intrepidation's topic in The Lounge
Stating fact, and hinting at the implications... The Wall was beyond huge upon release, you have no idea. Now imagine being a student (or a teacher) at a High School at that time. -
Try that on a pickup, and sometimes removing the bed becomes a good idea. Still, the trade-off was worth it. But remote pumps would be nice.

K.C. Glad to see you here again! Same to you too, Regalguy and gmpartsgirl. Welcome back!
-
The straight sixes always had a consistent competence and reliability about them that V6s never quite matched.
-
EFI was a real revolution, but not without its own drawbacks. A dead fuel pump became a "tow event" and an expensive repair.
-
Haha! Yeah, I think all of my Chrysler products had one mounted on the firewall.
-
Chevy 250,292 Jeep 4.0 It's all about the torque...
-
That car is still worth some coin...
-
As I recall, Chrysler had major ignition problems all through the 70s, not just the "lean-burn" era. Damp days could kill them.
-
The loss of the straight six is a real shame - a victim of packaging issues. Lots of good ones from many manufacturers over the years.
-
To much effort to wash it, I guess... For the last five years,that is.
-
Those early converters were a real nightmare - saw a few cars with melted/burned carpet! And, when they clogged up, all of the cars sounded like vacuum cleaners... whooosh! Whenever the driver hit the gas. Those poor, choked, engines...
