    $7000 for a '99 w/ 110k. Insane....by that logic, my '00 GC w/ 135k must be worth $9000. Though I think it's probably only worth maybe $3000.

    Really? Wheelbase and track of the XTS and LaCrosse are exactly the same. Yes, they are both 'long' wheelbase Epsy Dos (though I'd hardly consider 111.7 a 'long' wheelbase--shorter than the CTS!). The NG Impala will probably be the same...

    Love those '70s boats..though my favorite of that generation are the 'small bumper' '71-72s...always liked the rear of the '71 Buick.

    Sharp car.

    Actually, the Renault Clio V6 Renault Sport (what a mouthful!) is mid-engined and rear-wheel drive, so those vents actually cool the engine which is behind the front seats. The same is also true for the Renault 5 Turbo balthazar posted. Yes, same idea as the one-off VW Golf W12 from a few years ago...a hot hatch w/ an engine where the backseat would be...

    Thought you had an SRX and Escalade?

    My 12 yr old Jeep ('00 model year, built Nov 99) has 135k, still driven daily...my sister's two Mercs are 20 and 27 years old w/ indeterminate mileage driven often (over 130k and 175k, odometers no worky). But both of us need new cars, sooner or later...

    Would be cool.. but awkward at tollbooths, parking garage exits, and drive thrus... Speaking of RHD Cadillacs, I saw a RHD UK plated current style CTS sedan in Denver last summer... While we got our first toll bridge to help pay for it, Seattle over all has no toll roads and even the bridge is electronic with no booths to stop at so RHD is not a problem for driving here. No toll roads here in Phx, but parking garage entrance/exit access card readers and Starbucks drive-thrus are what I encounter every week that would be a pain w/ RHD.

    Those are LHD markets, and they probably prefer Escalades to haul around their entourages....

    I've only found 1 interesting '12 Matchbox repaint--a repaint of the '68 Mustang CS. Matchbox is going to focus on more garish kid-oriented models (construction vehicles, etc) and fantasy vehicles is what I've read. Saw a repaint of the '63 Caddy Ambulance as a surf wagon, but didn't care for the color scheme.

    I like the short rear overhang of the C6...I didn't like the giant rump of the C5...the C4s over all looked pretty good on the outside IMO but the interiors were hideous...
  13. Robert Hall
    Interesting..I saw that illustration on that site last year, though it was bogus...interesting development if they move away from the wrap around rear glass..the Corvette has had the same general B-pillar shape and wrap around rear glass for 35 years...
  14. Robert Hall
    It will be interesting to see what direction the styling goes...the C6 already has a small rear compared to the C5....
  15. Robert Hall
    Disguised modified C6 body hiding the fact that the new C7 platform is.... Epsilon II.

    As with BMW, M-Bs FWD models are just the small entry-level models...I don't see the serious models going FWD any time soon..
  17. Robert Hall
    Well, the i3 is going to be FWD, not sure about i8... I've read the next 1-series hatchbacks w/ be FWD and that the 2dr coupe and convertible will be RWD and badged as a 2-series. So it's just the low end entry models that will be FWD....doubt if any of the serious models will go FWD.

    Checked out the Target near my office after work tonite...found the red IROC-Z, the green '73 Firebird (sweet), the recolor of the '70 Camaro race car in red, a repaint of the '68 El Camino in purple now w/ a tonneau cover, the Aventador, and the Estoque recolored in dk blue...
  19. Robert Hall
    Which means the Cadillac Spark-based model isn't far behind! Actually, the NG A-class is more Sonic-sized, I think...
  20. Robert Hall
    Well, that was a hundred years ago...technology has evolved since then. It doesn't stay stuck at a particular point in time...
  21. Robert Hall
    Odd they think a small sports car would diliute the brand image--how would it any more than an obese CUV and an obese sedan already have?

    Many people are against innovation and advancement and efficiency..they can be called 'luddites' or 'conservatives'....(j/k). I'm not necessarily a fan of electric cars, but I do like forward advancement of technology..it is interesting...electrics are usable for many use cases, but range is definitely an area for improvement....
  23. Robert Hall
    Will be interesting to see how the entry-level models do in the US.
  24. Robert Hall
    Haven't renewed, but the ads went away...
  25. Robert Hall
    For some reason, I've long found the Avantime interesting..for the audacity of the design and idea. Saw one in person in the UK a few years ago, they look really cool in person. That Alpine GTA was pretty cool. IIRC, one or more the car mags claimed in the mid- '80s it would come to the US as a AMC Renault coupe (before Chrysler acquired AMC).
