  1. I'm not trying to hear anything you guys are saying! If this is the BRX,I think it looks much better than it's competition...even it is a stretched VUE! Hell, it even gives than Infinity EX and FX a run for there money in the looks department.
  2. Cadillac is f@#king up! Isn't the Theta's FWD? I couldn't imagine the Theta's and Fwd as premium luxury. What is this supposed to compete with...the X3 or X5? I don't think this stand a chance. And the name BRX is horrible. The SRX was a fine vehicle, I say just update and redesign(lose the wagon mini van look) to compete more with the X5 or Range Rover..thats where the bucks at.
  3. Damn thats ugly! Pontiac was promising a good start, now here they go f@#king up their line-up with this eye sore.
  4. I agree with most off you. That Charger concept was really a dreamboat. It was perfect and would have been a classic. The 69 Charger was one of my all time favorite cars, and that concept was a very modern interpatation of that product. I was actually angry when they didn't product the concept and gave us the current one instead. To bad they can't still make it.
  5. Good looking car. I see they are going for the sharp crease, fighter plane look, but when Cadillac does it eveeryone criticizes it. Hipocrites! The Cadillac Cien Comes to mind, boy, that car could have been awesome!
  6. I agree, since they have an attention getter with the Enclave, they should keep the fire coming. It's could almost be like starting a new brand. The products have to be world class performance and design wise, though. A world-class big body coupe such as the Riviera, could spark interest. Style,class, and moderate performance can generate interest because there is no competition in the segment. The only competition would be the Mercedes Benz CL and BMW 6 Seriers, but they wouldn't be considered competition because they are way more expensive to compete. A small car is iffy in my opinion, but if they do it, why not use the Cadillacs Sigma platform. It's a great platform, why kill it, us it for they next Regal or something. The Lucearn is cool, for those that love FWD, but that Park Avenue is what they need, just restyle it to match the enclave to make it not appear like a longer G8. So what would we have? If Buick is supposed to be the American Lexus 1. Park Avenue (restlyed to match Enclave) - Lexus Ls Fighter 2.Lucerne (shrink it a little, it's still on the G-body platform so it can be done, plus its still FWD) - Lexus Es Fighter 3. Regal or La Crosse(I like the name Regal better, and I would also put it on the Sigma platform) - Lexus Gs Fighter 4.The Riviera (CL-Class luxury at a bargain price) - Lexus Sc Fighter 5.Enclave
  7. Truthfully, it's just to many cars for me to name here. It's so many cool GM products that I like. In no particular order. 1.1963-1974 Chevrolet Impala Coupes (I love coupes) 2. The Caprice Coupes where cool also....All of them 3.1971 Monte Carlo SS, the LS where cool too. 4.1987-1988 Monte Carlo LS's and SS's 5.1964-1967 Buick Riviera (these body styles are classic, but you have to have the hidden head lights) 6.1987 Buick GNX 7.1971-1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass (these couope where awesome and the convertible was a dream) 8.1969-1971 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 9.1984 Buick Park Avenue (hey, it was my first car, and it was cleeeaaan!) 10.1995-1999 Buick Riviera (one of GM best designs) 11.2005 Cadillac XLR 12.2007 Cadillac STS-V (that thing is a beast) 13.1984 Cadillac Coupe de'Ville (I told you I have a thing for coupes)
  8. Maaan, that chop is hot!! It looks like a 80's El camino with the SS Monte Carlo clip. That brings to mind, I know everyone acts like they hate the Monte, but it they did it off this Zeta platform,RWD, that will be a true reincarnation of the 80's Monte Carlo. The 80's Monte was the coolest in my opinion.com
  9. Good Start for a buick revolution. Now bring me a rwd Park avenue and a rwd Riviera coupe. The lucerne is great but I say shrink it just a tad to make room for the park avenue and add a Regal based of the Sigma program and that may help out the brand a lot
  10. Damn, I love Cadillacs. The Cadillacs in the past couldn't hold a torch the it's international competition, but the current Cadillacs are outstanding. Sure the interior in the STS is lacking a little, but hell, it's better than it used to be. Exterior is better with the new grill, it give the car a bolder feel, more inline with the new CTS. Now Cadillac needs to decide on a small RWD offering and a coupe.
  11. I don't think they should mess with tradition, BUT......if marketed right I think GM may be onto something. I see a brand within a brand here, if they are going to be two Vettes under the Chevrolet name. Two high performance or three, models that focus strictly on performance. The C7 can be exactly what it is now a high performance monster with a affordable price that is half the price of it's competitors. The C7 can be the entry level car of the Corvette brand. The sister cars of the C7 that are mid-engineened can be targeted more up market to enter the bracket of more exotic cars like Lamborgini and Ferrari. If Corvette is moving toward being an individual brand, three very good and awesome cars can do it. Lamborgini only have two names. Aston Martin have three and Ferrari also have three(four if your counting the ENZO). It can work if it's done right, but since it's an american made product it can't afford to slip in any area, or it will be the laughing stock in the automotive industry. Everyone thinks american products are inferior and can't ever match-up to anything german or Italian. The problem is, if it is still offered as a Chevrolet what do you call it, Chevrolet Corvette C7.....?
  12. The 80's were the most fun. I also own an 1987 Monte Carlo as my weekend holiday toy and "damn" that thing is so much fun to drive! That's another reason I'm sore over this cancellation
  13. I don't know about anyone else, but I personally like Big Coupes. Now what is a 28 year old grown man supposed to drive. And hell no, I don't want that girlish small Accord coupe. The Monte wasn't the best performing, but it had so much potential. It should have been rwd and had a V8 small block in it. It should have been (from an engineered and good ol balls and brute force of GM rwd fun' stand point)what the 94-96 Impala SS was during its small stretch, but in coupe form.( The last generation with the new front was a looker in my opinion, but that means nothing if it doesn't perform. I own a Buick Riviera and since this is the end of the personal luxury coupe in America - I guess I won't be buying an american car anytime soon, I might as well hope I hit the lottery or the price comes down on the Mercedes Benz CL. Now thats a personal luxury coupe at its finest with nothing american to compete with in any price bracket. The US is missing a market that still enjoy big coupes, we just want performance to back up good looks also. What a shame.
  14. This design was very good, considering the competition is not letting up on designs no time soom. I even think it looks better than the new C-class. This CTS stands out with a stance of aggression and elegance, and thats what Cadillac needs as far as design. They should do this for every model in the line-up.This article makes me want to see the other sketches take the other design studios offered. I bet they where just as good!
