Could this be the rumoured Alpha? Hard to believe GM would commit to a small RWD model... Autoweek Article

2010 Pontiac G6 MCE Spotted W/O Camo
Robert Hall replied to vonVeezelsnider's topic in Heritage Marques
I always wondered why they did the Tempest for Canada--seems like it overlapped with the Grand Am in the generic sedan segment... -
Duh: Cadillac shelves that whole V12 thing
Robert Hall replied to Oracle of Delphi's topic in Cadillac
??? How is something from 77 years ago remotely relevant in 2008???? You have to stop the dreaming and wake up to reality... -
Yeah...check back in 4-5 years.
-
Interested custom taillight treatment.. I see the wierd doorhandles are still there... that was the one detail on the concept I didn't like.
-
That's a feature I'd definitely want...I have a Western Digital Passport hdd that I back up my iTunes to... it's strange, Sync is still not available on the Mustang....I wonder why.

I think the poor gas mileage is going to hurt them in these times though....5 years ago, they might have done great...now, not so much.

That's too negative... unfortunately, it is what it is...I can't go back and live when I was born in 1970...have to live for today and the future. -
As gas prices recede, so do fuel efficiency concerns
Robert Hall replied to FUTURE_OF_GM's topic in General Motors
They are cheap...about $25, every two years. And both of these states do their registration based on a percentage of value...AZ seems higher % than CO, my Jeep was $150 last year in Denver, about $220 this year in Phoenix. The first year I registered my (2000) it was $550 in CO IIRC. Some states, like Ohio, do flat rate registrations, IIRC. -
Here's another article, with an interior pic...neat looking car, interesting story.. Corvette 2 rotor concept

QUOTE(Pontiac Custom-S @ Aug 24 2008, 07:10 PM) [snapback]422326[/snapback]The SUV will only live as long as there is 2 dollar a gallon gasoline. I don't see gas in the US going back to $2 anytime soon. $4 is the new $2.

They certainly were in the Midwest...rust killed them even if the engines went on longer. People drive a lot more miles today per year, so the miles rack up faster. Anyway, neither here nor there, the past is gone. Today's cars are better, safer, more efficient, more reliable than those from the past. What is going to be interesting is how cars are going to evolve in the next decade. -
I've seen it several times this evening...arrgh.

Robert Hall replied to Oracle of Delphi's topic in Cadillac
The thing is about longevity, cars today tend to go longer than the did in the past...30-40 years ago a car was usually worn out at 100k miles...today's cars are generally much more reliable over the long run... -
And you think the Republicans will do any better? Look at the disaster of the last 8 years...the economy in a tailspin, massive increase in the deficit, run away spending, etc...the Republican party couldn't care less about the 'common man'..they are only interested in serving their corporate masters.

What is interesting is that GM and Chrysler are the only automakers in the world, AFAIK, that still do pushrod engines. The LS and Hemi are the last pushrod engines, I think. Even Ford moved away from them. (unless there are some obscure pushrod 4s still built in RIC countries). I'm afraid the reality is that pushrod engines are by and large, like carburators, BOF construction, etc artifacts of the past... -
From the 'cars that don't seem to exist anymore and you haven't seen in decades' file, I saw what I think was a '79-80 Chrysler Newport or '80-81 Plymouth Gran Fury. I haven't seen a R-body up close in decades.... I was out front of my house and saw it zip by the end of the street, 5 houses away...just a quick glimpse of a big old seemingly extinct car...

I'm surprised Jaguar never brought back a V12 for the top-of-the line XJ sedan....no money, I guess.. I hadn't heard anything about BMW dropping their V12..they still have the 760Li (and the next gen F01/F02 is supposed to get a 760Li in '10, with an 8-speed auto). -

I love that name...and Seville, and esp. Fleetwood for the big luxo boats..... deVille is certainly nicer than 'DTS', IMHO. DTS sounds like some software code to me..(since I work in the biz known for having zillions of TLAs). -
I was -1 then. But my brother was 20 then and was on his 3rd car at Ohio State....he had previously had a '58 Biscayne, then a '66 Mustang GT convertible that my folks bought him, then a '65 Mustang 289 'hi-po' coupe...and a couple motorcycles.

Cool...so how do you synch the portable hard drive with the car---is there a USB or other connector on the head unit? Sounds great...
-
Yeah..and a few are advertised as having '8-track stereo with tapes'....and on some, 'air conditioned' merits all caps. Radical. I wonder what $4000 40 years ago is equivalent to today, with inflation.
-
By the way, whatever happened to the Cutlass? Sell it? Junk it? Drive it off a cliff?
-
I think he's sold out to try and attract the party faithful....the Republican party has shifted to the right strongly in the last decade...IIRC, a few years ago he called the disgusting evangelical scum like Pat Robertson and James Dobson 'agents of intolerance' but in the past year he's been cozying up them...
