  1. I seem to remember Car and Driver showing pics of a running mockup that was going to be the Corsica or Beretta that bore a strong similarity to the swoopy Citation IV concept that I saw as a kid at Epcot Center.
  2. How was the visibility out the back? With the rear window inset like that, I would think it would be a challenge to parallel park or pull in or back out of parking spaces.. It's too bad Jeep didn't do something like the Avi... something smaller but with the same idea on a GC or Commander would have been really nice, I think.
  3. Well, at least are still 3 different brand labels on the cars... they aren't going to be putting Buick badges on the Pontiac or vice versa...unless they are going to have a new 'BPG' brand for all of them that has the Buick trishield made of 3 V-crests as the logo.. Isn't the Buick-Pontiac-GMC reality like Lincoln-Mercury-- 2 brands, 1 dealer organization, maybe 1 marketing organization?
  4. It would be a good car for carpooling.
  5. Yes...that why I'm thinking of a Grand Cherokee diesel... it's the perfect size for me and can go off-road.
  6. Probably a Galaxie or LTD, since it has the hood ornament.
  7. I would have thought they would have put out the pics in green to emphasize it's eco-friendliness...
  8. Here's the only pic I've seen without the models in the way..
  9. Looks like a neat little underdog film.
  10. Yeah...that CSX needs more chrome...not sure about the two tone paint.
  11. What does that chart mean? Increase or decrease from current tax rates (columns 2 & 3) ? If so, I'd have a slightly ($410) bigger decrease under the AZ senator.
  12. Yes, CSX is to Civic what G5 is to Cobalt. Same kind of blatant badge engineering. I wouldn't call the ES badge-engineered though, it's platform sharing with the Camry, as the Aura and G6 do with the Malibu. Or the current LaCrosse with the Impala. Same dirty bits, different body and interior.
  13. Orlando, eh? I assume a Disney edition will be forthcoming....(didn't the Venture have such a trim level years ago?)
  14. I wonder if the '09 will get the shield grille.
  15. Random observation--for some reason, at least in Colorado, it seemed to me like 75% of the Camrys of that generation were dark green.
  16. Fascinating..I knew about the Frigidares, but never knew there were any GM branded consumer products..
  17. If Caddy gets into the hybrid game, I could see them doing something with the SRX, a mild hybrid like the RX400h.
  18. Hmmm...a Frigidaire room air conditioner? Ice-cream cabinet? Chilled toilet? milk cooler? Drinking fountain?
  19. I have neighbors that have 2 Priuses, both dark gray. Across the street from them is a couple with 2 CR-Vs, one dk blue, one maroon.
  20. The Nissan Cube...the name describes my work reality. But my personality? Hmmm... need a name that implies complexity, ambiguity, unknowability. Can't think of any. On second thought, maybe Isuzu's Mysterious Utility Wizard would fit me.
  21. Riviera...very laid back. Conjures up images of relaxing in the sunshine by the Med, drinking Pina Coladas.
  22. Yes, the technology and claimed efficiency is what is cool about the car, not really the styling.
  23. So is there like an express line at the DMV you use? They must know you on a first name basis--you are through there what, every two weeks? (personally, I hate going to the DMV...I think I've been 4 times in the last 10 years, and it's always 2 hrs end to end).
  24. I can't see myself in a CUV or a truck-based SUV...if I get another SUV down the road, I want a real one..either another Grand Cherokee, a Wrangler, or a Defender (too bad you can't get new ones here). Maybe a used Range Rover Sport.
  25. WSJ article... Unpopular Models Slow Down GM Depressing numbers---less than 2k G8s and Astras last month. And 55k Silverados? I thought the truck segment was dead. 30k Impalas? That's a lot of rental cars..
