    Genesis = frumpy at best Camaro = rolling sculpture With a V6, who cares about the rest?

    Brother!

    The Matchbox in question may still exist, I'll check when I stop in at my mom's.
  4. Camino LS6
    Yup, I forgot about that.

    It's doing fine, I drive it fairly often. Broke a throttle return spring recently, but no other issues have cropped up. I'll get back to it eventually.

    Around the same time a kid down the street had a Formula 455 in Lucerne blue. I was in love when I saw that car. He destroyed it in no time flat.

    I remember one when I was a kid that had a "rocket" mounted on the hood. It looked like a weapon about to be launched (very realistic), and it had wires running to it that were convincing. The car itself was black and immaculate. One day it went roaring up my street with a chick sprawled across the hood. It was an image I'll never forget.

    Can't say I remember the solid lifter 400, but then I didn't follow the GP too closely.

    I have the wagon out for the day, could add some dual exhaust music to the noise.

    I don't immediately recall specific performance versions of the car, but the 455 would have been available. GPs of that vintage were mostly separated by trim levels: J, SJ, and SSJ. I have this nagging feeling that a Hurst edition was in there somewhere in those years though, I can see it in my mind's eye.

    Ominous.

    Oh it's bad for sure, I just didn't get a "hopeless" vibe from things yet. I thought there must have been an article I'd missed or something (really).

    Could solve the "too big to fail" conundrum for the government as well...
  15. Camino LS6
    That's not possible, but they might be able to sell the government on such a plan - especially if it brings in outside investment. As for Oldsmobile, the name remains an asset of GM - and as such could be put in play.
  16. Camino LS6
    The risk, of course, would be that any failing brand grouping would have to be allowed to die alone. Fair is fair.
  17. Camino LS6
    Precisely.
  18. Camino LS6
    Now we're cookiing! keep those ideas coming.
  19. Camino LS6
    The thing is, I just don't have high hopes of GM shrinking its way to viability. The stigma of failure and surrender is too strong. They need a more creative solution that people can get behind.
  20. Camino LS6
    I really think it would be so much better for all concerned to see a positive arrangement of more independent "children" of GM to dispell the wounded giant perception of the company as it is now. I'd even like to explore the possibilities of GM morphing into a confederation of semi-independent brands that have to prove their own viability but benefit from the cost-savings of a loose GM umbrella.
  21. Camino LS6
    Heaven incarnate!
  22. Camino LS6
    That is an idea I like quite a bit, actually. As for GM's PR, having a narrower focus (Chevy,Buick,Caddy,GMC) would help to solve the management problem, I'd think.
  23. Camino LS6
    I just want to say thank you to everyone for taking this thread where I hoped it might go! In spite of everything - including me. Let the ideas flow...
  24. Camino LS6
    Tough question to answer, but this new entity would be free of GM's more plodding management. Too many possibilities for a meaningful answer until questions like the one you have asked Croc get answered. That's why a synergistic relationship makes sense to me. Where GM isn't taking the gamble, but stands to benefit if the new venture succeeds. Money is what it would take - and lots of it.
  25. Camino LS6
    I share your distaste for Saturn, but Saab is too miniscule to help the case much.
