  1. Or driven a car w/ a manual transmission. Different world today for drivers. I can't imagine ever owning a FWD 4cyl automatic car in my lifetime, unless I have a lobotomy.
  2. Coming home from a NYE party at about 1:30 am this morning I was passed by a white '13 Camaro ZL1. Sweet. I've only seen 2 ZL1s on the road so far, and both have been white.
  3. V6s are generally smoother and quieter than a 4, so I see that as an advantage.
  4. 300hp 4 cyl? There isn't anything like that in production currently AFAIK. Sounds like it would be dreadful...loud, vibrating, short shelf life.
  5. I had a Lenovo Thinkpad from '09-11 for my work laptop at the bank, it never gave a problem, pretty solid laptop.
  6. Looks like the grille texture is linked to the Z71 package...I like the Z71 grille.
  7. Weird...it seems like the regular cab is only available in the lower trims.
  8. Still haven't seen one around.
  9. Neat car...the wheels and rear spoiler are a period NASCAR touch...the Collonade coupes did well in NASCAR for years..
  10. Nope, and that 4.0 sure looks like a Jeep straight 6 in the pic.. Other than the aftermarket woodie trim, appears to be in clean shape for a 1st gen GC.
  11. Hopefully a new 4 cyl Mustang won't be as dreadful as the last time Ford put a 4cyl in the Mustang. 6 years with one left me with permanent distaste for 4 cyl engines.
  12. Hmmm...in '93, they did make a woodie version of the GC branded as a Grand Wagoneer, but this isn't it...
  13. Got to think outside the box... A V6 Corvette, esp. if it's priced lower than the current entry level model, could help Chevy get some Corvette buyers younger than the current model's AARP buyers.
  14. Chevy SS is supposed to debut at the Daytona 500 in February, I've read.
  15. Yeah, the VED concept is 3 years old, so that nonsense is in the past....
  16. Something like that would make more sense than a 4cyl Camaro IMO as far a small cheap sporty Chevy...
  17. A 4cyl Camaro sounds like a very strange idea, but I can see it happening...will give GM a coupe to fit the niche abandoned after the Cobalt coupe, I guess...
  18. Corvette generations tend to run around 7-9 years at the least...so is the C7 going to be short lived if the C8 is already started? Seems unlikely we will see the C8 until at least 2020..
  19. Of course, the i8 concept is way toned down from the Vision EfficientDynamics concept that preceeded it....the VED had hideous body panels that appeared to hover separate from other parts of the car, the rear end was particularly revolting..
  20. I haven't seen the MKZ yet in person...looking forward to seeing one, I like the taillight treatment and other details..wondering where they are going to go w/ the next MKS..
  21. The BMW i8 concept seems to be intentionally ugly...I wonder how toned down the production version will be..
  22. I can't see the point of functional vents there (on a front engined car)... and GM has a precident of fake grilled vents on various cars (ATS, Malibu, etc). No one said the '14 dash looked like the '05...it was said that it resembled the early '90s dash. Agreed the '63-67 had the best dash design, very sporty...the '68-82 looked similar to the '67-68 F-body dash, the '84-90 digital dash was dreadful, IMO...a blocky mess suitable for a truck.
  23. Cadillac already has 3 sedans...a 2dr is a good idea for something distinctive.
  24. Since the new car is coming for '14, is there a '13 that is a repeat of 2012? I assume there will be an obligatory 60th anniversary package...
  25. That rear end is rather cheesy in the details (the fake plastic vents outboard of the taillights, the busy lower panel)...the dash does look like a nod to the early 90s design..and what's up w/ the gauges? Digital? Ugh. trapizoidal taillights? Here's the '94, '97, and '05..and '12 looks a lot like the '05 except they went from a 4 spoke to a 3 spoke wheel.
