  1. It wouldn't be Super if it didn't have it's own styling treatment... Odd that they are waiting so long to release it, though..
  2. Yes, as far as GM..Ford also had their mid-large RWD coupes through '96...(Thunderbird/Cougar)
  3. The main thing that surprised me was the newspaper website was called 'The Whig'. Wasn't that a political party from the 19th century? That's really old school....
  4. Reading various posts around the board today, I realized that there are a lot of posters on the board that remind me of the Uncle Rico character. He was always dreaming of 1982 and wishing he could go back. I think some people here live in 1965 or 1985 or whatever year they want GM to be in again.
  5. The reality is except for the Solstice, Pontiac for 2007 is an all FWD (with a couple AWDs) brand...I don't see that changing in the next few years...
  6. My point was in '70, Chevy had the Camaro, Chevelle and Monte Carlo coupe. I don't think the market is big enough to support 3 Chevy coupes today.
  7. True enough... the article seemed pretty factual to me.
  8. Which is literally the way Chevy sliced up the coupe market in 1970 (plus the Impala and Caprice coupes).. I couldn't see it working today..the coupe market is much smaller than it was then.
  9. I'd stick with BMW and DC products (Jeep). Maybe a Ford, Infiniti, or Acura.
  10. HF II was long gone by then..and there were Mazda engines in Ford cars years before the Yamaha-engined Taurus SHO.
  11. The dealer has been open 100 years. Article here
  12. They could glom together previous top-of-the-line sedan model names and call it the Buick Electra Park Avenue Ultra Limited.

    ....

    Interesting..I don't know if I like the fender bulges, but the stacked headlights remind me of the '81-87 models.. typical Chevy grille..the hood reminds me of the '88-98..the taillight shape is reminiscent of the current Dodge Ram. I wonder how/if the HD models will be differentiated. For the regular Silverado, I'm glad they went with a clean, evolutionary front end instead of an obese big-rig look like the Ram or Ford SD.
  14. Decepticons. Criminals in disguise?
  15. That's why I think Sting Ray is better...the '67 427s were some of the fastest Corvettes ever made (and the best looking, IMHO).
  16. That's an ignorant comment..the 'tundra' is a frozen wasteland where only the strong survive.. it's a tough place.
  17. I've noticed the same thing when I'm back visiting family in Eastern Ohio...there are a lot of old car shows in the little towns there..something every weekend it seems from May-Sept..lots of neat (mostly restored, since it's not called the Rust Belt for nothing) vintage cars of all types can be seen...
  18. It's cheaper, not a lot though. I love living in the Denver area, I agree about the water though... but the ocean is only a 2hr flight away. The lack of greenery and variety of fall colors gets old after a while, but the dry climate,abundant sunshine and the mountains close by are great. I've been living for the last 4 years in downtown Denver, but I'm thinking of selling my loft and moving to the suburbs so I can have more space... looking at houses in the $350-450k range (about 3000 sq ft, 3 car garage, full basement). My ideal would be So Cal, but the real estate costs are a big turn off, as is the traffic, and the SF Bay Area would be better as far as jobs in my industry go...
  19. Well, obviously.. it's not 1980.
  20. True, and most vehicles in normal driving get worse mileage than the EPA ratings. 14mpg sounds more likely for a 5500lb V8 SUV than 21...
  21. The front end looks like the '00-05 Impala...the interior isn't bad, but nothing new.
  22. Isn't it time this clown retired from the biz? Considering what a flop his last couple of ventures were..
  23. I'd vote for Sting Ray.
  24. Lately I've been listening to a lot of Pink Floyd and '70s Rolling Stones, Led Zeppellin, Queen, Eric Clapton, The Who., AC/DC... Music with great guitarists... For more contemporary music, Audioslave, Velvet Revolver, Sigur Ros, M83, Moby or Michael Mann movie soundtracks (great mood music, IMHO)... For pop, I've been listening to Coldplay and Denver's own The Fray.. When I need my '80s/90s fix, The Cure, U2, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Gun n' Roses, Rush, Def Leppard, The Smiths, Tori Amos, Peter Gabriel, ate Bush, Tom Cochran/Red Rider to name a few.. I have about 500 CDs accumulated over the last 20 years, I've put about 1/2 of them on my iPod.
  25. True 'nuff, but that '97-99 Cutlass was a lame rebadge of the Malibu..pointless, considering the Alero was about the same size..
