  1. The name makes me think of the KW900.. (Kenworth truck)
  2. Hybrid day.... saw an Oldsmobuick this morning.....an '80s Ciera (white) wearing a Century front clip (blue). Also saw the Thundercat again (red '85-86 Cougar w/ black '87-88 T-Bird turbo coupe front clip).
  3. Sounds like a truck name.
  4. Interesting...seems like they are trying to out do Lamborghini for violently ugly styling.
  5. Nice..looks like most of the panels (except for maybe the cab and doors) are 'butched' up compared to the Asian Colorado..new dash also.
  6. Nope, that's a real special edition Wrangler that just recently debuted. Neat...so is it a 'Willis' or a 'Willies' ? (I've pronounced it as 'Willies' but it's apparently 'WIllis')
  7. Sounds like you've been reading the propaganda put out by the corrupt energy companies. I've read of a ton of fracking complaints from the last 10 years....20 years ago very few had even heard of it. Nothing wrong with normal NG wells, though..my folks have used it in Ohio for 40 years (have a well on the property).
  8. Pure Jeep.
  9. Fracking is still a huge problem and very controversial.
  10. Recall election...or maybe the city council can have some drugs planted in his office and get him arrested.
  11. Well, the original lasted 41 years. Not sure where you get 18 years..the '14 is the 3rd redo since '01 (13 years).
  12. From what I can tell, the 2.4 is from an engine family that predates the Fiat acquisition.. MultiAir is sort of Fiat's VTEC ...variable valve timing and variable lift technology..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MultiAir
  13. It's a GEMA Tigershark engine according to the BoK... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigershark_engine#Tigershark
  14. By making it larger, there is now room for another smaller model, the Mini MINI...
  15. That is a detail I'd like to see return also. The badge in the grille is just so ordinary. Standup hood ornaments are cool and distinctive.
  16. Yes...if it was a 4cyl, fwd automatic for $25k GM might go for it...but as it is, it's too much of a small niche gamble...
  17. I do think the new CTS front end would look better w/ the badge centered ala the ATS and previous CTS generation...the emblem is too large and too high up on the grille, IMO.
  18. As far as the only BMW 4dr coupe so far, the 6 series GT looks quite good, IMO. The Gran Turismo hatches are different beasts, not 4 dr coupes.
  19. Well, there have been rumors of a Dart SRT version...
  20. Yeah, this is the kind of thing we could speculate on endlessly, but since it's not where GM is going, it's kind of a moot point...nothing to see here, move on...
  21. Has it really been, though? Beyond a few enthusiasts, is the really any market here for it? I can understand in Australia where they have had continous production of the ute for over 6 decades. But the El Camino has been gone for 25 years.. Do you have any any evidence to prove that? Demise of the Camino coincided with the cheap gas and cheap full size trucks in the late 80s along with GM's notorious habit of letting it rot and with Roger's push for United Association of W Bodies. Do you have any evidence to prove otherwise? I just don't see much of a market for a 2dr, 2 seat car/truck w/ limited capability compared to a comparably price full size pickup. Just skeptical...I think it would be yet another GM flop like the SSR was. So it is conjectural at its best, hence the rhetorical question. Well, since GM isn't bringing it here, they don't see a business plan for it either. So...
  22. Which would make sense..I've read the Avenger/200 replacement would probably be on a stretched Dart platform...
  23. We don't know that the 3000 SS would be profitable...they may lose money on them. Who knows...
  24. A V6 Dart might be planned as the Avenger replacement?
