Way cool..I'm probably going Friday afternoon or Saturday.
-
Plus, you had the G3 before we did, and your G5 is available in a 4dr!
-
Heavier weight will make it ride better on the cratered roads of the Rust Belt.
-
Yeah, I voted before the other stats were added... I'm closer to 40 than 30. There are 2 people in my income bracket according to the stats.
-
That's hellcool....would make a good prop for a futuristic movie..
-
Took the afternoon off to take care of some house repairs, on the way home saw a few interesting cars-- A very clean bright red '69 Mustang convertible w/ the top down a white mid '70s GMC SWB custom van, in very '70s style, with fender flares, red striping, bubble side windows, chrome side pipes, chrome wheels.... A tattered, battered late (flush headlights) white Cimmaron.. can't recall the last time I saw one
-
Yes, it has to be internal politics... how can Pontiac be #3 in volume and not be considered a 'core' brand? And they have more than twice as many models than Buick. Truly baffling.
-
Yes, the coupe and convertible are nice differentiators for Pontiac, compared to the Malibu, Aura, and '10 LaCrosse. Well, GMC is getting the Terrain to replace the Torrent..not sure if BPG would need two midsize CUVs...
-
The Oldsmobile style grille with the shovel front ends are wearing thin for Lincoln, IMHO. -
And disgusting gray plastic everywhere. That does not look like an interior fit for a $60k car.

Automotive News: Buick to get new tag line, ad campaign
Robert Hall replied to wildcat's topic in Buick
How about an ad mentioning how some Buicks are built in Canada---Canada implies cool--and mention that Buick is big in China? Or 'The Relentless Pursuit of Lexus'.. -

'Buick: Our buyers aren't as old as Mercurys' (or not) 'Buick: Modern Transmissions Coming Soon'. -
Yes, considering GMC is all rebadges or platform shared models, the annual investment cost must be pretty tiny these days, relative to sales...I would think it would be profitable.
-
To get your Pontiac truck fix that the G8 ST would have provided, get a Canyon (it is a BPG truck), remove the GMC badges, duct tape a pair of Pontiac nostrils over the grille, and glue on some V-crest badges..
-
Heh-heh...I'd tint the windows because of the glare of the sun and the 115 degree heat.

I saw a dark blue or black w/ white top '71 or 72 Electra 2dr ht parked down the next street over from me Saturday evening..was twilight, wasn't sure of the color,saw it from behind, was parked at the curb w/ the lights on. Looked shiny from 75 ft away.
-
I can just the inevitable magazine articles this year--Insight vs Prius. And then a couple years from now-- Volt vs Insight vs Prius.
-
I suspect Mercury is going the way of Pontiac...by '10, they will only have probably 2 models at most (Milan, Mariner)...
-
Maybe they can leave it up on Pontiac's website and change the release date to say 'Coming soon!'...
-
Sounds plausable. As the PCS said, (paraphrased) 'get them while they are hot'... where is PCS, anyway? Haven't seen him around in a while..
-
Here's the Wikipedia article about Fisker Automotive. The Karma 4dr concept was shown at NAIAS 2008. Fisker Still in development, with a Quantum drive system (hybrid), and going to be assembled by Valmet in Finland, which assembled the Boxster for years, IIRC.
-
DROOL. I love it. I love the Karma sedan from the pics I've seen of it, and now this... great shape, great proportions, great detailing. Haven't seen anything about pricing, though..probably pretty $$$...
-
Bigger wheels than the old one....the old one looked like it had very tiny wheels (13 inch? 14 inch?)
-
I'm sure...he'd know the part numbers as well as the years and each and every model that had one.
