    Great description. Make it black leather or PVC and the image would be even better. I really like the roadster, looks pretty sweet inside and out..the Nismo looks interesting...better executed than the 350Z Nismo, which had that weird thing on the rear fascia..

    Got an unusual amount of sleep last night.....about 9 hrs. Monday went to sleep around 10 but had to get up yesterday at 5 to run to the airport by 6. Was really tired last night, went to sleep around 9 and slept until 6. Going to try and stay up till 11 tonite..

    I learned that automated merges between streams in ClearCase can be a real PITA.

    The reality for GM is more likely 10% market share and lose $50 billion/year.

    Happy Easter and Happy Passover (this week also) to those who observe. I'm not religous, but plan to have fish on Friday and ham on Sunday (since my sister will be here and is quasi-Catholic (went to a Catholic college and her 3 ex-husbands were all Catholic).

    Umm, who else but the board would have the authority to make such decisions? It certainly seems like something they would have power to do....

    I would assume this Ultra LWB EP II will also be used for the next Impala, assuming they eventually give up on the W-body.

    Odd looking car, seems to be a mix and match of styling cues from other cars... at least they abandoned the wierd Saab-retro grille from a couple years ago.
  10. Robert Hall
    Meh...too little, too late. The MKS is out now. That's the only car I could see something like this competing with. It's going to take 4 years to bring this to market? LAME.

    Some FCX Clarity design cues in the rear....in profile, looks sort of like a TL with a Prius greenhouse grafted on...wierd. But, as a Honda/Acura product, it will likely drive nicely, be well put together, high quality and reliable, and sell in respectable numbers.

    What is your beef against Australia? You are such an arse...

    Yes, there is a market for the Terrain. I would never buy a FWD based CUV, but for a lot of buyers, it may be perfectly fine. The GC is for a different market, a different buyer.
  14. Robert Hall
    The GC occupies an interesting niche in the market..it's always had real off-road SUV cred, definitely not in the same league as FWD CUV posers. But it's also got the entry-lux angle also, a step above mainstream family trucksters like the Explorer and the late GMT360s. It's kind of in a niche by itself, with the Jeep brand history and name and some of the luxury aspects of the premium luxury RWD/AWD SUVs (Land Rovers/Range Rovers, BMW X5, Merc ML) but at a lower price..
  15. Robert Hall
    With the 6, my '00 never gets more than 18-19mpg.. The FWD CUVs are really in a different market niche than the GC is in.
  16. Robert Hall
    Could be... it's too bad the wagon couldn't come to the US as a G8 sportwagon and the Caprice/Statesman as a Chevy Caprice or Lucerne replacement. Not going to happen, now, so much Zeta potential and possibilities that have been lost--just water under the bridge, as the GM bridges over troubled water collapse........as the GM bus heads off the freeway onto the exit ramp to nowhere.. (yeah, all getting metaphorical..)
  17. Robert Hall
    Hardly..the Terrain is just a FWD generic underneath, with blocky faux-macho styling. The GC has legit, serious hardware..it's a real SUV, not a lame-ass CUV.
  18. Robert Hall
    Problem is, the only thing Holden has of value are the Commodore and Caprice/Statesman lines...and Pontiac already has the G8. The rest of Holden's line are just Opel rebadges and generic Chevy/Daewoo FWD crap...
  19. Robert Hall
    I know, but sadly, Pontiac has had an high fleet % of total sales for years now.
  20. Robert Hall
    Interesting..well, Buick does currently does more sales volume in the China than the US, don't they?
  21. Robert Hall
    I would assume Avis would buy more Chevys and maybe some Buicks if they couldn't get Pontiacs.
  22. Robert Hall
    Yah, I could definitely see replacing my '00 GC with an '11 or '12. And I do take my Jeep offroad, so I would take advantage of it's capabilities.
  23. Robert Hall
    'Macho king'? Hardly...the Terrain has faux-macho styling, but underneath, it is lowest-common denominator, FWD generic--hardly 'Professional Grade'. The weak sauce.
  24. Robert Hall
    More cheese than rice...all that plastic gorp up front, the chessy hood, etc.
  25. Robert Hall
    Meh..just took an ugly car and made it slightly more/less ugly?
