    Not a car per se, but I saw at a Circle K/Shell a tire air/water pump with a credit card slot in addition to the usual coin slot. Never seen one like that before.

    That Cutlass is the same color scheme as the worn one I saw in Ohio. I really like those cars, they were popular when I was in high school...lots of '78-87 A/G body coupes in my school... and in S. Florida, they had the same rust problems Ohio had.. Rob

    Different generation, but this reminded me of something I saw in Ohio over Memorial Day weekend-- a worn out silver early '80s ('84?) Olds 442... silver w/ red and black striping, big rust spots on the doors and rear quarters, rear decklid w/ a bungee cord holding it shut..pretty sad. Saw a beater '87 Grand National this morning on the freeway, faded black paint on the hood/roof/decklid, tinted windows, noticable dings and paint chips on the doors. Rob

    Saw a black G8 on the freeway this morning w/ blacked out windows and black aftermarket rims...looked very gangster (or gangsta? ). Rob

    Why not..great American city name on a great Australian car.. Rob
  6. Robert Hall
    Meh... I can't see that great city's name on a lame little Korean FWDer.. Chicago fits better on something substantial and all American, like a '91-96 Caprice. (I know, GM has no equivalent to that today).

    I think they just want to standardize on a single name worldwide for the new C-seg car...i.e. replace Cobalt, Lacetti, Nubira, whatever with Cruze. The world car approach for Chevy.

    Had to make an early run to the airport this morning. Saw a white Prius in City Aviation department trim w/ a roof light bar. Exciting. On the way there, saw a sharp gold '68 Camaro on the freeway...base model, it looked like.

    Of course, the reality is Prius and Insight are in production, while the Volt is still a long way off..thus, they are far ahead. GM can only wish the Volt had the cred and sales of the Prius. Then again, I'm not too interested in the Volt..the Camaro, CTS, and G8 are the GM products I'm interested in..

    Ya, and hopefully Ford willl make the next Focus something enthusiasts can enjoy also, as they have done w/ the European versions..
  11. Robert Hall
    Ya, the challenge for GM is to make a generic appliance as good or better than the competition, and to market it such that the Genericans will give it a try, as opposed to the obvious default choice of a Toyota, Honda, etc.
  12. Robert Hall
    Well, and they have to overlap the Malibu now, since the G6 and Aura are on their way out...
  13. Robert Hall
    The marketing geniuses somewhere figure Cruze works better than Cobalt? Who knows? Anyway, it's a new car, not related to the Cobalt, so they want to give it a fresh start...
  14. Robert Hall
    Probably because Cobalt is an NA only name...Cruze is going to be their world car...
  15. Robert Hall
    Nova would go well with Viva. And why not develop a uniquely styled coupe or 3dr off the 'Cruze' and call it Monza---to replace the Cobalt coupe?
  16. Robert Hall
    I wonder if in the interm until the Astra is here, maybe they will just rebadge the G3 and G5 (the 4dr version) as Buicks. Sounds like something GM would do..
  17. Robert Hall
    Well, their was talk of a SAAB version of the Theta/Epsilon. With SAAB's future unknown, maybe GM is repurposing that CUV...or maybe it's a version of the Captiva...
  18. Robert Hall
    Hmmm.... 'baby Enclave' could be a variation of the new Equinox/Terrain, something to fit between the Terrain and SRX.

    I think the bird(s) conspires w/ the neighbor's cats. They leave pawprints and scratches on my hood. Rob

    How about black w/ Sprinkles? Dark blue w/ sprinkles definitely is dirty (bird poo on my Jeep, like frosting sprinkles on a donut...but not in a good way).
  21. Robert Hall
    I like black, never had one...dark blue (like my Jeep) has the same problems w/ keeping clean, unfortunately. Generally, I like dark colors more than lighter colors---dark gray, dark green, dark red, maroon, dark blue...
  22. Robert Hall
    Speaking of black paint, I like matte (low gloss) or flat black. A few high end Euro models have it as an option..would love to see it more common. Low maintenance, and looks great w/ matching black wheels.

    They've never been exposed to HD. I haven't paid attention to LED, will have to look into it when I buy my next TV...still enjoying my older 1080p DLP and 1080p LCDs...

    Sounds like it must be something w/ your browser settings.. I can go several days w/o logging in, both in going to the main page from a bookmark or directly or clicking on a update email.

    A silver '10 Camaro from a distance on the freeway this AM, second '10 Camaro I've seen this week, and 2nd I've seen period.
