Saw a clean rumbly white '57 Pontiac 2dr sedan at the bank this morning...

Isn't this the City Express? The Express is still the old fullsizer isn't it?

Chevrolet News:Spying: Chevrolet Cruze, Take 2
Robert Hall replied to William Maley's topic in Chevrolet
Hmmm...the Chinese version shown last week has a strong Civic vibe to the profile. -
Interesting.. the failure scenario kind of reminds me of what happened a few years ago w/ my Jeep when some sensor failed..the ignition stayed in the on position, but the engine would randomly shut off...no power steering, no power brakes, etc. Not fun when it happened in 75 mph freeway traffic...
-
The important work was done in the US by an American company...(design, software, etc). No one assembles cell phones (or consumer electronics for the most part) in the US, I'd rather support an American company...
-
I didn't want to go w/ the Korean brand..would rather stick w/ an American brand.
-
I thought about the Galaxies, but I didn't want to go down the Samsung path..that would be like going with Hyundai or Kia cars, IMO...
-
CUVs and SUVs...same divide every other automaker has fostered over the last decade or so...
-
When my Droid Razr Maxx was still useable, I found Dolphin to be a better browser. But over time, like my first Droid, everything got slower and crashier...too much hanging and blank screens. I tried 4 years w/ Android--Motorola Droid 1 then Motorola Droid Razr Maxx-- that was enough with that $h!. No more Android, no more Windows for me..I've sold out to Cupertino...

At work (1st floor, large glass windows 20 feet away) I'm getting 3 bars for Verizon, 4 for AT&T. Much better than 3 years ago where I was at a client 2 stories underground--no reception there--I'd have to shut off my cell phone or it would drain the battery trying to find a tower...
-
Biggest surprise was 1 bar on Verizon and 3 on AT&T when at home.
-
I've only seen a couple of those 9-5s in person, very attractive design IMO..
-
^ Neat..one of those 'And now you know' trivia items.. I can't recall when I've seen one of these in person. I do see a sharp silver '65 Jetstar I in Scottsdale occasionally. The '65-66 Starfires were neat looking cars, similar roofline to the Grand Prix of those years.
-
This morning I saw a new 2nd gen silver Ford Transit Connect passenger version..first one of these I've seen, looks quite different from the 1st gen model...one neat detail is it has a wiper on each rear door window... on the way home saw a gorgeous tastefully customized '59 Caddy Coupe de Ville gliding down a major street---lowered w/ large chrome TTs and painted an incredible indigo blue...
-
different carrier. different signal strength, noticed I get a better signal w/ one over the other in parking garages, buildings, etc.
-
After my Droid Razr Maxx died last week I replaced it with a silver iPhone5S. Been happy so far..it's interesting to compare the 5S on Verizon w/ my work 5 on AT&T.
-
Prices on W111 SE coupes seems to be all over the place, depending on the engine...from under $10k to around $50k on Hemmings. The cabrios, on the other hand, seem to be considerably higher--$65-90k or so... I had a teacher when I was in the 4th grade that had one--minty condition, around a '62 in a lilac color (similar to 1965 GM Evening Orchid).
-
Yeah, lots of interesting natural places to go...and interesting little towns like Hell, Frankenmuth, Bad Axe, and Port Austin..I enjoyed the occasional road trip around the thumb or up north to various points on the mitten or the UP during my 3 years in Ann Arbor back in the '90s.
-
I'd consider the Juke in this niche, along w/ the Soul...how about the 500L and Countryman? Or are they too big. .
-
I saw a white Trax a few weeks ago..look pretty good for a mini ute. I wonder if Ford will now bring the Ecosport or B-Max here.
-
Congrats on the move and good luck in Michigan!
-
That teaser shot looks more like a refreshed Avenger or Durango. Very squared off.
-
Saw two interesting Cadillacs at the grocery this morning..first was a clean pale yellow '69-70 Coupe de Ville--no vinyl top, fender skirts or hubcaps...looked like a resto in progress, like it had been recently painted. The other was a dark gray ELR--the first one I'd seen up close in person--looks great, IMO.
-
Or the V-sport..
-
Saw this in an email regarding an upcoming Mecum auction..pretty neat, Cadillac had the monochromatic look w/ black wheels going on 94 years ago... http://www.mecum.com/auctions/lot_detail.cfm?LOT_ID=HA0414-178966&utm_source=emv&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=HA0414-T126
