Sounds plausible...I assume the other W's will also be around through '09 as well (Impala and Monte Carlo)..

Albertsons has closed all their stores here in the Denver area.. it seems most of the big grocery chains here do the 'club card' thing... King Soopers (Kroger-owned) and Safeway are the dominant chains here, though I suspect Target and Wal-Mart (there are at least a 1/2 dozen Super Targets and Super Wal-Marts in the metro area) get a lot of grocery business...

Sounds like the curvy early '80s Chevy concept with sliding side doors..I don't recall the name, but saw it in person at Disney World at Epcot Center in the early '80s.

Yes, it's inconsequential..some people on here just love to argue about pointless things...

I've seen postings claiming Buick will have a Statesman variant, so something like that probably will happen...

Good looking car..very smooth.. it would make a nice top of the line Saturn here (I could see it sitting nicely with the Aura in a showroom).

Hmm... the US has one modern mass-market RWD platform now that I can think of--the LX with the 300, Magnum and Charger...

I see no resembalance to the GP.. this car has proper RWD proportions, not the wierd FWD proportions of the current GP.. I see some 3-series resembalance in the doors and the overall wedginess reminds me of the C-class and others (side character lines sloping from back to front).. I like it, though..good looking car..it will be interesting to see if any of the rumoured US-market Zetas use this same styling...it would make a nice range-topper sedan for Saturn, I think. (Or with a different nose, a Pontiac?)

Yeah, I forgot about the '90s Skylark..kind of a wierder looking Grand Am sibling..

Very, very common around here..I know plenty of males under 30 that own a Camry or Corolla (one has both!).

Those wacky Republicans..always plotting how to control the world.

Heck, as recent as the '80s Buick had a compact 4-cyl model (Skyhawk). Though it was just a lousy J-car.. and the compact Special was '61-63, with the Pontiac version being the Tempest. The '64 Special was a midsize A-body..

It's so disguised you can't tell how it looks.. it will be interesting to see in person. I wonder how much heavier the V8 is than the 6... it's going to be wierd to see the M3 without the 6..

I try and avoid them...they are always so crowded.. I have about 6 Targets within 15 miles of me (3 are SuperTargets) and about the same # of Wal-Marts. My mom,on the other hand, lives in rural Ohio and Wal-Mart is the only big store within 50 miles. My brother worked for them for 10 years, retiring at age 50 as a regional manager).

Interesting..it has a strong resembalance to the Sky. YAK (Yet Another Kappa).

It's a sweet looking wagon..I like the interior and exterior. I hope it, the Outlook and Enclave are all hits for GM...

I can't see it being compared to the RAV-4..different size, different market niche. Now I could see it being compared to the Highlander, Pilot, and Murano though...

Yeah, I thought Asia since Nanjing is a Chinese company...the MG brand was British brand, though.. Interesting times we live in..cars with a British brand, formerly owned by a German company, may be built in the US by a Chinese company.

Duplicate post..I posted the same article (from Reuters) 4 min ago in the Asian Marques..

Oklahoma..surprising choice for a location, I think. Nanjing Auto to assemble cars in Oklahoma

Interesting..I like the skinny taillights and veed decklid and rear bumper..I see it has the very short deck that is en vogue these days.. I'd be interested in seeing how a coupe would look with that front and rear..

Many of the visuals in that Buick Regal ad from 1987 ('88 car, '87 ad) remind me of the original Taurus ads and Reagan's 'Morning in America' ad campaign...

A '69 Mustang Mach 1 hood scoop and rear wing on a Chrysler 300M. A Honda 'H' and 'Type R' badges on a worn-out '80s Camaro IROC-Z. A 'W04' Bush sticker on a Prius.

Has a CTS coupe been confirmed? I haven't seen anything concrete about it..

Yes, I've been a Benz fan since I was a kid..I love the Big '80s style 560 SELs and SECs .. but with all the quality/reliability issues I've read about with today's Benzes, it would be hard for me to spring for one--Lexuses are definitely the safer choice. I wouldn't want something that has to go to the dealer all the time for repairs.
