  1. Sounds like a smoke-and-mirrors thing...700mpg and 300 hp...riiiiight..
  2. They are here in Denver..the one I sat in yesterday was a CXL V8 stickered at $38.5 or so... they look great in person.
  3. Hmmm...maybe something based off the Highlander....with a hybrid version.
  4. I stopped in at a local Chevy-Buick-Saab dealer today and saw a black Lucerne w/ tan interior on the lot.. first I've seen upclose--pretty nice. To my surprise, it was unlocked (outside on a Sunday). I sat inside..pretty nice....it was stickered at 38k-ish.
  5. It looks cheap. A hood prop is ok on a 20k car, but on a 30k car...
  6. Hmmm...looking at the pic of the white one and the black one on the Caddy website, I see they did do a little tweaking on the B-pillar trim to distinguish it from the Tahoe and Yukon (a black applique over the door uppers, it looks like).
  7. Why not ressurect the 'GS' moniker? It has a long history with Buick, not unlike 'SS' with Chevrolet..
  8. Maybe spin OnStar off into a separate company? (Or did they already do that?)
  9. I wonder if the Escalade will have a running board delete option..running boards look so tacky on SUVs, IMHO...
  10. The Daewoo brand isn't sold in the US....so GM has 8 brands in the US... (plus 4 outside the US--Daewoo, Vauxhall, Opel & Holden). I don't see how with only 20% market share in the US GM can maintain 8 brands...
  11. Another regionalism I've noticed is that pretty much everyone in the biz I know pronounces the Java computer language as 'JAH-VUH' while the Canadians I work with all pronounce it 'JA-VUH'.. ('JA' like in 'Jack').... (more useless trivia).
  12. A coworker of mine bought a Rendezvous when he was 31, but his wife (who was 29 then) drives it the most..
  13. I'm looking forward to seeing the Tahoe in person..it's the best looking of the 900s IMHO based on the photos I've seen so far... I'm looking forward to the 'burban also, though---always preferred the 'burban over the Tahoe as far as big SUVs go..
  14. Yeah, I was thinking the LX instead of the GX as far as Lexus SUVs...add in the RR and Cayenne... I was thinking price and luxury image, not simply size...
  15. Hmmm..my favorite high end luxury SUV was left off this list... the Range Rover...has the nicest interior of all of them, IMHO, with the Cayenne a close second...
  16. Hmmm....a 'sports car'? A 5000+ lb one, maybe... :) Aren't sports cars small and light?
  17. I really like how GM has cleaned up the sides of the new Tahoe, Yukon, and Escalade....left off the tacked on fender flares and lower door/rocker panel glop...
  18. Yeah, the Daewoo based models would be good to see badged as Chevys here as they are in Canada....the new Grand Vitara would make a nice entry-level SUV below the Equinox for Chevy, I think...
  19. It's too bad the interior didn't include a unique steering wheel for the Escalade..it's the same with a different badge as far as I can tell. I'm dissapointed the Escalade didn't get more unique sheetmetal (the greenhouse and doors look the same as the Tahoe and Yukon) but such are the realities of tooling costs.. :(
  20. I've always pronounced it 'Im-PAL-uh' and heard it that way... I've heard a few people say 'Im-PAUL-uh'... Same with the Bonneville--I've always pronounced it 'Bon-UH-vil' but I've also heard 'Bonnie-Vil'... I'm from Ohio originally, so my pronunciations may be Midwestern in origin.. How about 'Escalade'? I usually hear 'ESKA-LAID' but I've heard 'ESKA-LAH-DEE' also..
  21. Same photos on Autoweek...it looks like except for the front clip, the body is the same as the Tahoe and Yukon..
  22. Autoweek has new spy photos of the Escalade...
  23. If it's something that is very close to production I'm guessing most likely a G4 (Pursuit). Less likely but still plausable--a Solstice coupe. Even less likely a G8 sedan badge-engineered from the Lucerne. or a face-lifted '07 GTO, maybe?
  24. The old 240s seem to wear very well. A buddy of mine drives a '90 has about 180k on it...white w/ blue interior, very clean condition. His wife drives an '04 Cross Country wagon. (DOH!!!! I posted this on the wrong thread..it was supposed to go on 68's demo derby thread).
  25. Or Ps2 games..
