Hmmm...I've heard to two Maddoxes--a politician named Lester Maddox and Angelina Jolie's son.

You want a laugh, but I have been getting AARP email spam all week. I'm only 38!!!!

Well, the reality sounds like there are going to be at least 5...Equinox, Terrain, Vue on Theta, and SRX and 9-4X on Theta Premium.. remember, this is GM we are talking about... got to keep each dealer body happy, and the brands have to compete w/ each other.. So it sounds like GM will have 4 Lambda CUVs for the full size market, 5 Theta and Theta Premium for the mid size market, but nothing in NA yet for the compact market (unless you could the Vue and HHR, but those are just tall wagons). And then on the SUV side, there are the GMT 900s and the GMT 360s (which I assume are going away in a couple of years and not being replaced).

Ugh...a Chevy engine in a Merc? Sacreledge... a modern AMG V8 would be a cool swap, but obviously would be $$$.

Yes, this is on Theta Premium. The Pontiac Torrent is supposed to be replaced by the GMC Terrain. Buick, AFAIK, isn't getting one yet...though I could see a business case for a smaller sibling for the Enclave..

Yes, and the Safari is an out of production 20+yr old design... it and the Astro had some of the worst crash test results of any GM model, by the way.

Or since this is a GM site, a 10 yr old Cavalier..

So you can put stuff in the hatch area with the cover on and the seat up... good for skis or a golf bag, I think..

The Vivaro or Movano would be nice to see in the US badged as GMCs to compete with the Sprinter.

I'd love to have an Ariel Atom....it would be a blast on the weekends...make a fun commuter car also.

My most recent ex did, but preferred kosher.

Interesting...but this is much cooler.. KTM X-Bow

Kind of... it's a Wrangler Unlimited for suburbia..'born to be mild'.

Yeah, it is novel...whether it will sell or not is another story. Why not a Caddy SRX convertible? More importantly, though, is a CTS convertible...what with the 3-series convertible, the CLK convertible, G37 and A5 convertibles on the way, Cadillac needs to follow up the CTS coupe with a CTS convertible..

Yes...but this is a novelty variation...they have the regular Murano for the storage part.

I went to my 20th last month in Marathon, Fl... we didn't have a very big turnout for the 10th, so this was really the first time alot of us had seen each other since June 1988. It was a good weekend..some sadness---8 deceased out of a class of 64... a few people that were couples are still together w/ kids 20 years later. A couple people looked almost unchanged, most looked older...some of the jocks were still fit, some had chubbed up, people that a full head of hair back in the day were bald/balding, some of the hotties from '88 aren't so hot now, a few are now definitely MILFs and DMILFs.. one pair of guys are now a gay couple, whom a lot suspected back in the day... some of the biggest stoners from then are now cops and teachers. Probably 40% are still in Florida, I had the 3rd longest trip besides the lawyer from LA and the guy in Hawaii...about 5 live in Colorado now besides me. Only a couple of us (myself included) still have our cars from then (though I didn't drive mine to the reunion, since it's in Ohio and I'm in AZ). Lots of talk of what people did after high school, marriages, kids, careers, moves, etc.. It was a weekend of sitting around the bars/restaurants and at the beach drinking and reminicing about the old days..and the realization that alot of what went on 20 years ago would result in a lot of kids getting arrested if it were to happen today. Looser times then than now, I think. It was sad to see my high school is gone, all the old single story buildings on the campus torn down and replaced w/ modern 3 story hurricane proof buildings...looks like blue prison buildings now, with security doors, tiny windows, etc.

Yeah..sadly, it's FWDness is all too apparent by the short front wheelwell to door distance...totally innapropriate for a Caddy.

WOW...that is slick. I love the rear detailing and how the edges of the hidden rack look like fins.

Cool..that's first I've seen of it.. wonder what it will be named in NA.

Yep...if I still had mine, I'd probably drive it now... '84 diesel...nicknamed 'esky'.

plot

Who knows? Haven't heard anything certain about the Aura or G6 futures...

What are those funky 'S'es in your name?

A friend of mine who is a big Star Wars fan uses the handle Lord Vader on various forums and has Vader as part of one of his emails... he tried to get the personalized license plate VADER for his black on black NSX but found it was taken in Colorado..

That one is odd..I've heard rumors of it several times, but no concept or spy pics have been seen yet...wonder if it's going to be a surprise at one of the major 09 shows..
