The Z/28 isn't mythical. The car is ready, GM just didn't pull the trigger - yet.
-
I would hate that thing if GM built it, it's nasty.
-
I don't care who drives them, they disgust me.
-
It's the exclusion of the other bodystyles that irritates me, KC. I would always choose any other bodystyle over a sedan given the choice. Yet I've been shut out of so many great cars because they were only offered in my least favorite form. It ticks me off.

Spy Shots: Is this the next Opel Astra?
Camino LS6 replied to Intrepidation's topic in Opel/Vauxhall
I have to agree. The Germans really seem to be into pudgy these days. -
GM has had "wuss" issues when it comes to productionizing good ideas for a very long time.
-
I've wondered about that too, but it seems to work for them. I'd have to drive it myself to know what I think compared to the 6-speeds I'm used to. Then again, sometimes I mis the straightforward nature of an old 4-speed.
-
The logic is valid and the system is good (major returns in city mileage), which helps with CAFE. However, the price premium is tough for most folks to swallow. EDIT: I would also say that NO resources were ever diverted from the Volt - that is being pushed as fast as humanly possible. GM knows how important it is.
-
Actually, the ones with the huge stickers are the dual-mode, which works quite well. Pricey though.
-
Maybe. A 55-57 inspired version (as mentioned earlier) would seem logical as well. That vintage is much-loved.
-
Euro-dork!
-
No argument here (except that Camaro is in the shipping process right now). I also am a critic of GM's lack of speed to market with good ideas. Not to mention the absurd level of second-guessing... EDIT: There are valid reasons for Camaro taking as long as it did though, GM had no facility here to build the damn thing! Wouldn't have been a problem, if they hadn't completely bailed on RWD earlier. Viewed in that light, Camaro came pretty damn quick.
-
No argument there, but not to get the job done would be a mistake. The HHR is a winner, GM needs to build on that.
-
Can't agree with that assessment. Volt CTS Malibu G8 HHR Camaro The 900s CR ratings JD Power (esp Buick) Via critical acclaim, sales, PR value, awards, tech firsts, a critical mass is building. The question is, will there be enough time to make it fly.
-
No worries there. I'm still pissed.
-
Tesla is certainly a company to watch.
-
No single car is going to "save GM". You seem to have adopted that line as your mantra lately.
-
To each his own, but the Prius is the nastiest thing on 4 wheels in my eyes and will remain so. Contast it with the impressive Tesla, and it really looks bad. At a more affordable level, the Volt smacks it silly. I hate everything about the Prius, and each time I see one that feeling is stronger.
-
HHR does very,very, well around here. When the panel arrived, they just flew off of the lots. Hyper: Nice to agree with you for a change. You guys all know that I have little love for small cars, and none for FWD, yet the HHR even appeals to me! The panel even had me wondering if I could tolerate an FWD car. Only the Mini has accomplished that feat before.
-
In thinking about this car,I've reached the conclusion that it is the most appealing sedan on the market (in GXP form). Subjective opinion, of course, but true for me. There is no other production sedan I'd rather have.
-
I see Maserati (correct spelling BTW), Aston, Jag, and a tiny sprinkling of Acura in the styling. Still, it takes all of those infuences to a new place. As I said, not bad.
-
No. Because it is fast and attractive, not an ugly farce.
-
Politicians employ some odd logic, and suspect priorities. Hmmm... sounds like GXT!
-
Not bad.
