''68 had the distinction of a name change also, since the '67 was the Corvette Sting Ray, '68 just plain Corvette, and '69 was Corvette Stingray..
-
How about Stereotypical Indian H1-B Computer Programmer teal green? I know and work with quite a few Indian programmers that drive green Camrys...(or Corollas)...
-
It's a sub-subcompact truck. Diahatsu makes tiny trucks like that today, I've seen them on college campuses as facilities maintainance vehicles..they drive 'em on the sidewalks..
-
Hmmm..maybe the Honda 356cc V4 engine in T360 truck (the Ridgeline is not the first Honda truck, by the way).
-
Maybe something in the Japanese kei class 30 years ago.. or maybe a motorcycle engine?
-
The '80 Regal and '80 Monte Carlo were like that also..had a unique 4-headlight front end different than '78-79. Of course, back in the '50s-60s cars got heavy facelifts from year to year, and sometimes there were entire designs unique for 1 year--like the '58 Chevy. I'm not sure if I would consider the '63 vette a 1 year design, since the '63-67 was the same overall design--the split window was a different design detail, like the various louvers and hood treatments over the 5 year run...
-
I read also that it was dark out and the runways were not lighted (which seems surprising to me).
-
It was sad and hit close to home for me as it was a Delta Comair flight...I used to take the small Delta Comair jets on connecting flights from Cincinatti to Akron several times a year..and my mom still does at least once a year.. I love flying and travel and usually fly at least once every two months or so, but over the last 5 years I've made it a point to try and only take direct flights in the US (I hate layovers) and avoid smaller planes..

I think the Pontiac 6000 was A6000 it's first year. Wasn't the most recent Pontiac minivan called a Montana SV6 in '05 then SV6 only in '06? In the '80s, Buick had a 'Somerset Regal' that became Somerset after 1 year then Skylark after another year or two, I think.. Nissan called the Altima the Stanza Altima it's first year and the Armada was the Pathfinder Armada for it's first year....
-
I read in a Car & Driver article about the Mexican Beetle that not one part interchanged between the original models and this last model...they looked similar, but were quite different in the details.
-
I've been going to a local Jeep dealer here for 4 years, the dealer I bought mine from is 60 miles away, and after I moved, I certainly not going to go back to the original dealer..the fact that I didn't buy my Jeep at the local dealer has never come up as a question or an issue of any sort..

Hopefully the worthless f*ck will get fired.

With the '06 Lincoln Zephyr being a one-year only model (becoming MKZ for '07), I was trying to think of some other examples of models whose name lasted only 1 year... or for that matter, models that lasted only 1 year or whose design lasted only 1 year..pretty rare in modern times..

Didn't GM sell cars under invoice last year with all the 'Employee Pricing' stuff?
-
It's wierd..they just didn't come to mind for a while..kind of invisible cars, I guess...
-
Ah...Impala SS and Pontiac Grand Prix GXP...forgot about those..the V8 is like 303 hp?
-
Lucerne is 275 hp also.
-
Since it's FWD only, that eliminates Audi's high powered AWD models. All the Japanese FWDers are under 300, I'm pretty sure. I can't think of anything recent that's domestic with over 300hp and FWD.
-
I have no idea... before sometime in the early '70s, cars used gross hp ratings. Today, net, I think.
-
Probably the '66 Toronado..but that would be in gross hp, not net.. I'm not sure about current FWD models..
-
I have two of 'em...my Jeep has the glass type, and my BMW has a metal one...never any problems. They are great here in Colorado, as we get a lot of sunny days..
-
I remember as a kid when McDonald's happy meal Hot Wheels were regular Hot Wheels--metal bodies, metal chassis... I have some somewhere in my stash, along with some Burger Chef specials.. sometime in the '90s they went to stuff specially made for MCD's that were mostly plastic.
-
Hideous... I wonder what kind of mental illness people have that causes them to do nonsense like this to a car...

Hanging out with family, doing some grilling, a little golf, and getting in some pool time in the Valley of the Sun.

GM to Dealers: "No More Full Tank Freebies"
Robert Hall replied to Variance's topic in General Motors
I couldn't see a reason not to get the ABS...I think safety features like side airbags, etc should be standard an not an option..
