  1. It will be nice to see all 3 on the market....I'm a big fan of the Mustang, looking forward to the Camaro (glad they went with the '69 cues, since the '69 was the best looking of the older Camaros, IMHO), and am also looking forward to the Challenger (my favorite 1970 design). All are retro yet modern..
  2. 2007...Autoweek has it now. Looks good..
  3. Will Ferrell in any Colin Ferrell role..
  4. I liked bright red as a teenager (which is why my '87 Mustang is bright red), but now prefer silver, dark gray, dark green, dark blue. I like the look of black but wouldn't want to deal with the upkeep. Dark blue is hard enough to deal with..
  5. I wouldn't recommend flipping off a Prius driver in LA..you never know, they might be enviro-gang bangas and they might bust some caps in yo azz...
  6. Oil closed at almost $77/barrel today..I wonder when it will shoot to $100/barrel.
  7. Oil caused the corrosion? I would assume salt in the air (near the Arctic Sea?) could be part of the cause...
  8. What's funny is my V8 Mustang gets better mileage (25 hwy) than my 6-cyl Jeep (18 hwy).
  9. BP has been in the US for quite a while...they also bought Sohio (Standard Oil of Ohio) about 15 years ago, IIRC...I remember when they set up offices in Cleveland when I was living in the area..
  10. It will be interesting to see how much the car changes overall..I assume there will be detail changes--smaller wheels, things like the headlights, larger side mirrors, interior trim, etc. But I wonder if they will raise the roof or enlarge the windows any..the windshield opening looks awfully small from the pics (I wonder how the headroom and outward visibility of the concept are)..
  11. True enough...you can't get much more boring or mediocre than most of GM's '80s-early '00s FWD lineup...
  12. True enough, but I think the core market is going to be existing Camaro fans and owners, and to a lesser extent Mustang owners, and people considering the Mustang. I'm both a Mustang fan/owner and a BMW fan/owner (yes, I'm an anomaly--I like domestics and imports, old school and modern) and am definitely in the target demographic for a G35 or 3-series. But I'd definitely take a look at a Camaro, esp. if it was available in a convertible (the Mustang GT convertible is high on my 'next fun car' list), as I still like the old-school muscle cars. I've priced out the Mustang GT a couple times, the way I want one would be $36k which isn't bad for a V8, IMHO. As long as the price is comparable to the Mustang, I'd consider a Camaro.. The current Mustang GT is a good value for the money...what I'd really like to see from a Mustang (or Camaro) are more options (sunroof for the coupe, nav system, etc) and nicer fit/finish for the interior..
  13. I bet the base model will have the 3.5 or 3.9 with a 4-speed auto...
  14. Yeah, I'd say go for the 3.6 also...but knowing GM, the bean counters will push for the 3.5 or 3.9 I bet..
  15. Maybe...the Camry will probably be #1 again...though the Corolla will probably be in the top 10.
  16. 2006 Toyota Corolla MSRP Price Range $14,105 - $17,880 Invoice Price Range $13,047 - $16,179 Sounds pretty cheap to me..
  17. I don't think people buy a Corolla for styling..it's like a washer or dryer..they buy it on reputation, value and it's Consumer Reports ratings.. that's all...they aren't car enthusiasts, they just want cheap, reliable transportation.
  18. Must be a matinee at a cheap theater... it's $7 here for a matinee or $9 for evening (for first run films). Plus $1 for the Fandango 'convenience fee' to buy online.
  19. I was thinking 6.0 since that is what the '06 GTO had and the Corvette has...
  20. 3.9 V6, 5.3 V8, 6.0 V8 maybe?
  21. Over the past 20 years, I went: primary vehicle: used Ford->used Ford->used Chevy->used Ford->new Jeep-> ? secondary vehicle(s): new Ford->used BMW (but kept the Ford) Not sure what's next..
  22. I like Mercedes, but prefer BMW for the more sporty nature and the availability of a manual transmission in several models...likewise, I prefer Infiniti over Lexus..
  23. If you aren't first, your'e last
  24. I have a bad, bad habit of drink-and-dial when I've been boozing it up with my cubies, either in a pub or the ubiquitious summer Saturday afternoon suburban backyard bbqs... call my friends and coworkers from my cell and leave the message 'Rob druk'. Eventually, my phone gets taken away..
  25. I'm looking forward to the AMT 1:25th scale model kit.. it's supposed to be out this month.
