One could only hope...besides the Camaro and Impala, something like this for Pontiac seems like a natural..
-
Go, go Godzilla!!

The Commodore SS V looks 100% better than the current GP, IMHO (though it could do without the cheesy rear wing). And more importantly, it has the proper hardware (V8, RWD..)
-
I like the 'Heart' one....I saw it earlier today. I just saw the 'Trickle Down Performance' ad with the CTS-v that has the quick intercuts with racing footage...the 'win on Sunday, sell on Monday' theme is as old as the hills, but makes for an affective ad, IMHO..

Ohio's got Honda, though, an advantage over Michigan, I think.. -
Well, the '07s look pretty much the same as the '06s, right? Odd that they still have the GTO on there..
-
Good question..I did a bit of research, there are only 8 e85 stations in my state, and it costs $1.54 a gallon.

When I let my hair grow out and it starts over my ears, I go to Great Clips and get a "one" buzz all over, then go home and run my Norelco over it, then shave it smooth with a razor. After about a month I get tired of maintaining the shaved head, and let it grow out again...repeat cycle.

I like the Terradyne name...reminds me of a favorite computer company, Cyberdyne Systems...
-
I guess when GM offers a Lucerne or DTS with a 6-speed, then we will know that the G platform can accept the 6-speed..
-
A modern transmission shouldn't need 'overhauled' at any reasonable mileage interval.. a new car automatic transmission should be good for at least 100k with routine service.
-
5 for Pontiac, 3 for Buick, 5 for GMC.. that's 13, plenty enough for the full BGP line of 2010.
-
I think it was probably the best looking of the W-bodies..a very graceful roofline..the 4dr of that generation looked good also. It's too bad Buick didn't have a coupe version of the '97-04 Regal and Olds a coupe version of the Intrigue..both looked pretty clean in 4dr form, and would have made good looking coupes, IMHO.
-
Yeah, the large 2dr market seems pretty dead. Sad but true. There isn't much of a midsize 2dr market either...the Solara is on it's way out, and the Accord, G6, and MC are about the only mainstream ones left..though I've seen rumors Ford may do a Fusion coupe.
-
The Riv was my favorite of those, I always liked the curve to the rear quarter panel..the T-Type version was esp. clean. The Eldo was crisp and clean, and looked great in the Touring Coupe version..the Toro seemed to be the most invisible of the 3, I remember them usually in a dull brown with a vinyl top.. I remember in the '80s they had a special trim for the Toro, that used the old Mercury Comet subseries name 'Caliente'.
-
True...the '77-78 was a rebodied LeSabre basically..had pretty much the same interior. Wierd that Buick did that while Cadillac and Olds kept their old Es through '78. I've always like the look of the '79-84 (or was it '85? I can't remember) FWD Rivs and Eldos..so much nicer than their shrunken replacements, IMHO...

Nah, Dubya has an Ford Super Duty Crew Cab and an Expedition at his ranch in Texas (the SD seems to be the poster truck of right-wing red staters). -
The main reason I'd like to see more diesels is that it would be nice in the US to be able to buy something that gets more than 40 mpg that isn't a subcompact penalty box---something with a bit of luxury, fun to drive, and efficient--- a US market 3-series or CTS with a diesel would be great..(Car and Driver tested a 330d and got 40 mpg on the highway).
-
That's the Suzuki Forenza wagon in the US. I wonder if a wagon version of the Cobalt (or the Astra for Saturn) could do well in the US?
-
Interesting..if the Monte Carlo goes, what will be the Chevy in NASCAR? I guess they will change the decals to say 'Impala'. And if the MC goes, what will NASCAR fans stick their #3 decals on?
-
What was the story on the differentials?

80s RWD V12 GM vehicle?

A Camaro M3 would be cool.. An outrageous thought I've long had is to build a '90s Mustang Cobra with a European turbo diesel and AWD... -

I seem to recall reading about a Suburban with a Falconer engine in a magazine.. -
No worse than the NA model, which wants to be a Taurus with GS-like headlights..

Looks like too many things running..8 instances of Firefox? Even my work computer (Win XP, 3GB ram, dual 2.8 Ghz processors) gets slow when I run too many apps at once.. (Oracle, Jboss, Eclipse, IE, Firefox, Outlook, iTunes, Word, Excel are my usual load).
