    The pizza delivery guy tonight had an unusual car...a Geo Storm Wagonback...haven't seen one of those in ages, looked to be in good condition...kind of a purplish blue color..

    I am trying the same...I was here very little the last couple of years but am trying to visit more often these days.

    Fewer parts, cheaper to manufacture? Looks like the Fiesta line is going to be all 3 cyl except for the diesel, at least in Europe.. Engine 1.0 L Ecoboost I3 (turbochargedgasoline) 1.1 L I3 (gasoline) 1.5 L Ecoboost I3 (turbocharged gasoline) 1.5 L Duratorq I4 (turbocharged diesel)

    Hmm...looks like a '66 Chrysler 300..

    If a Cadillac buyer is concerned about a few cents difference in the price of a gallon of gas, they have bigger problems...Cadillacs are supposed to be about luxury and excess, not cheapassing and economy.

    Saw a black Savana Denali window van in traffic recently...chrome mesh Denali style grille, Denali badging, chrome wheels...must have been aftermarket or a dealer special.

    When did the new Cruze go on sale? I think I've only seen two so far, both on a Chevy dealer's lot. They seem invisible. When did the new Cruze go on sale? I think I've only seen two so far, both on a Chevy dealer's lot. They seem invisible.

    I like those '77-90 Buick dashes.... I like the horizontal vintage GM dashes.
  9. Robert Hall
    That's a reach...80s Buicks were all about rectangles...I don't see anything Buick about modern Benz dashes..

    Looks good in light colors... http://teknikensvarld.se/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/mercedes-e-klass-lackt-25.jpg

    Very similar design to the S-class dash that has been around a few years. This style E-class came out for '16. The CLS dash is also very similar.

    Chevrolet would be the global brand...just don't know if Europe/UK/Aus would accept it they way they had the familiar Opel/Vauxhall/Holden for decades. Cadillac would be the global premium brand, and Buick and GMC regional fillers.

    Hmmm..current E-class it looks like. But why is the center wheel emblem solid black?
  14. Robert Hall
    I just couldn't see GM giving up on their long-established European market brands.

    Anyway, back to the original thread, I wonder what PSA's angle is in this...access to more manufacturing capacity and more product development resources than they have currently?

    As I stated, his original post implied the whole product was 'world class'.. wasn't obvious his comment was limited to suspension. And GM has a history of cheap interiors---look at the C6 Corvettes or 5th gen Camaro...very recent history, not 20-30 years ago. The C7 and 6th gen Camaro are better, but still a bit too Fisher-Price to be considered 'world class'.

    Having always been a light sleeper and prone to insomnia for at least 25 years, and on strong prescription sleeping pills for over 20 years, I'm never sure if I'm dreaming in a sleep or a semi-awake state...one thing I crave but don't often get are solid, uninterrupted nights of sleep without getting awoken...

    If you bothered to read my post, it was obvious I wasn't talking about today's GM interiors...I was responding to hyperv6's original comment about the Cobalt and HHR being 'world class'... (he later qualified that and said he meant only the suspension tuning, his original post implied the whole product was 'world class'). GM does have some excellent interiors today, no argument about that.

    True, just commodity lease vehicles...comfortable appliances...the hardware just needs to be reliable.

    Rainy and cool here in the desert..
  22. Robert Hall
    Well, they have Trailhawk for their off-road tuned models, so Trackhawk for the paved road performance models...

    I've had Cobalts and HHRs as rentals in the past, nothing remotely 'world class' about their interiors, even 10 years ago...cheap, hard nasty plastics.....they were cheap, disposable econoboxes for their day, nothing special. Anyone who thought those were 'world class' must never have experienced much of the world.. (j/k)

    Back in the late 90s I was living in Colorado Springs with 3 vehicles with manuals--one with a fairly stiff clutch. Getting stuck in afternoon freeway traffic there and in Denver and cluch in/cluch out all the time got really, really old. Plus I then bought my Jeep which was only available w/ an automatic (first week I had it I had 'phantom clutch syndrome'--moving my left foot for a clutch that wasn't there). I do like a manual in a sports car/sporty car, but for the daily grind I'm happy with automatics. Still think I'd prefer a manual in a small diesel, though.
  25. Robert Hall
    True enough...I drove pretty much 100% manuals for 15 years but dealing w/ heavy traffic and the lack of availability got me into automatics 17 years ago.
