    I'm trying to be realistic and think of a way the Corvette can survive...you can bet GM's bean counters are thinking of ways to cut the costs and make it smaller and more efficient. The future isn't going to be the past.

    Chevy is just staying true to the path they've been on for over 20 years (excluding the Caprice)---all FWD mainstream models, with 1-2 RWD performance models (Camaro, Corvette).
  3. Robert Hall
    Well, both are probably too heavy. The Kappa platform needs more development to be world class, no doubt. I'm thinking about a 2800lb sports car. Such a car doesn't need 400 or 600hp to be entertaining.

    Auggghhhh...didn't think of it that way. Maybe some of his off-the-wall insane ideas were more prescient than we thought.. Who knows, maybe GM will base the C7 off the Kappa platform...at least it would still be RWD but lighter...
  5. Robert Hall
    Yes, but that was nearly 55 years ago...the sports car market has evolved since then.

    BG dealers are going to have a problem without Pontiac; how are they going to compete w/ Chevy dealers?
  7. Robert Hall
    Never say never...these are interesting times...who knows what will happen to the Vette.
  8. Robert Hall
    That's surprising...I would think they would want to keep them to keep the volume up at BG. Without Pontiac, BG dealers will have only 2 cars, a couple truck lines, 3 CUVs and a couple SUVs.
  9. Robert Hall
    Those would require money to develop...in the short term, they will probably just rebadge the G3, G5, G6 and Vibe as Buicks. G3- Skyhawk, G5-Skylark (or use the Astra as the basis), and G6-Regal.

    Could be a fun car if it weighed a bit less w/ the 3.6 DI engine...

    Another article CNN Articl

    Maybe Chevy can offer the Vette w/ the turbo 4 from Solstice or the Volt drivetrain.

    Will have to watch it tonite at home. Looking forward to this, Star Trek & Terminator Salvation.

    Ya..I was just listening to a podcast about the problem of counterfeit cell phones in China, including 'iClones'..i.e. iPhone rip offs. Since many of these phones (legit versions) are mfgrd in China, it's pretty easy for the mfgrs there to clone them quite cheaply.

    Or the end of the current Cerebus phase and beginning of a new phase...

    Geek Pride! As the saying goes, 'the geeks will inherit the earth'. Even w/ outsourcing and layoffs, I'd still rather be in the tech industry than not.

    Cool..at one time, I had 5 machines on my home network, all with '60s GM names ending in 'A'.... Impala, Catalina, Ventura, Invicta, Electra.

    Of course, I wonder if 90% of the posts are from a couple dozen or so regular posters... now the % of clicks on individual topics by those posters is another stat..
  20. Robert Hall
    Or unspellable... I have a hard time speeling Touareg. And what about Routan, Tiguan, Touran, Sharan...

    If the 200C goes into production and replaces the Sebring sedan, I'd love to see a convertible version also..the previous versions of the Sebring convertible has been successful, would love to see a RWD entry-lux convertible from Chrysler. Call it 200 Cordoba or something.
  22. Robert Hall
    Good move. Seemed odd to bring the Rabbit name back. Seemed as retrograde as if they had brought back Dasher or Quantum for the latest Passat.
  23. Robert Hall
    Yes, dynamic plans..plan-of-the-week, plan-of-the-day.... Anyway, if GM is going to be a lean and mean 21st century company instead of a bloated and obsolete 20th century company, they are going to be more dynamic.
  24. Robert Hall
    Really..haven't seen it posted. It's a recent article that appeared on Autoextremist on Monday.
  25. Robert Hall
    From the Seattle Weekly, via Autoextremist: Toyota. Things are not quite rosy at Shiny Happy People Headquarters it seems. The Seattle Weekly posted an interesting article last week that has numerous accounts of scary, phantom acceleration and other bad behavior on the part of the saintly Prius hybrid. Sounds like a giant bowl of Not Good to us. Go to Seattle Weekly Article on Prius problems
