It was gold w/ a tan interior, like 250k miles...he lives in Colorado Springs Co, doesn't have the car any more, though...his son totalled it last month.

They just look evil, with those canted lights and eyebrows.. a flat black one w/ tinted windows, black steel wheels...be like Christines' evil partner in crime, like the 'Werecar' on a Futurama episode.

Lookin good..need some chrome rims w/ spinners on there, though..

I love the styling of that Monaco..neat rear window treatment...was that exclusive to Dodge? I think I've only seen one or two of those in the last 25+ years.

The Malibu competes with the Fusion. The Buick needs to be up a notch, competing with the Milan.

It could take the G6/ Saturn Aura positions, above the Malibu, below the LaCrosse.

By building it in China, maybe they can close a factory here?

Yeah, I'm also wondering about Ford's future plans..it looks like the Mustang will be their only RWD model in a year or so, if Panther is phased out in '10 as I've read....I'm assuming that the CV, GM and TC won't be replaced, and that the Taurus and MKS will fill the big car roles, unless Ford commits to a new RWD platform...

Yeah, they've definitely had a down turn, but nothing on the scale of Michigan. Lots of companies folded, lots of layoffs, but new companies are continually starting up and hiring continues.. Yes, I've read a couple good articles about the brain drain issue. Nothing to keep graduates in the state, or to draw people in. When I left grad school, I left Michigan..didn't see any future there...was looking to move to San Jose or San Francisco, but ended up in Colorado instead.. I'm impressed with Pittsburgh, what I've seen in recent years seems very different than what I remember from the late '70s as a kid in the area... I've toyed w/ the idea of moving there, what with it being only 75 miles from my Mom...my Mom is nearing 80 and stubbornly won't leave rural Ohio, my sister and I concerned about her..thinking maybe we should be closer than 2000 miles away.

With the red interior, several colors for the exterior could work..white, black, silver, red, dark gray or maroon..(the last 2 would be my choices).

I haven't been back to SE Michigan in almost 10 years..I remember Ann Arbor being a nice college town from when I lived there...don't recall much of the Detroit area and it's suburbs, just seems like a lot was gray and decaying, at least in the mid '90s..vaguely remember some places in Ypsilanti, Warren, Livonia...went up to Flint a couple times. Malls in Farmington Hills, Auburn Hills. I have a couple hazy memories of pleasant summer drives around the thumb. Speaking of the Rust Belt, I'm always amazed at how green and pretty rural Eastern Ohio is when I'm back there...I should be driving my Mustangs on some rolling hills and winding roads in Amish country in a couple days..

Not surprising...while the Detroit area has been decaying and dying as have 'old time' manufacturing industries, the San Jose area (Silicon Valley) has been growing and thriving with the rise of Internet technologies and knowledge worker industries...one place represents the past, the other the present..

WOW....I'm shocked...I had assumed GM would scrap Zeta and use Epsilon II in it's place in the future..

Interesting...is that styrofoam behind the firewall? I'll admit I know nothing about R/C aircraft. (Plastic model cars and diecast cars are my big hobbies).

That rocks!

If you could to mix and match, my ideal would be the Mustang interior, Camaro powertrain and suspension, and Challenger styling..

I thought the 500/Montego had CVTs.

More to the point, though, when did the Camry, Altima, and Accord have them? And GM still has mainstream midsizers with 4spd automatics..

I had Pike's Peak as a view out my home office window for 5 years..went to the top a couple times (drove and took the train) thread answer: affirmative

One thing about the Goodyears I've had is that they wear well...I rotate them at every oil change (3k), and my original set of Wranglers lasted 48k miles...I've got about 20k on the Fortera Triple Treads, and they still look pretty close to new..

Ahh..flying at night..so you were following IFR and not VFR?
