  1. More overhang than the concept...I wonder if those are real light clusters...look like decals.
  2. Sounds like the brand equity for Vauxhall is with GM (UK) Ltd.... if Vauxhall Motors is just the manufacturing, it seems like GM could move all the manufacturing to S. Korea or Poland or elsewhere and just badge the models as Chevys, Opels, Vauxhall, whatever..
  3. I'd like to see more of Wyoming...in my 11 years in Colorado, I drove across I-80 and back to SLC a couple of times...pretty barren.
  4. Front resembles the Traverse with headlights similar to the Vue.
  5. Which is complete BS. How could it not support the 6-speed?
  6. Looks like a bigger version of the new A4....lots of A4/A5 styling cues, inside and out.
  7. Maybe a GM equivalent of XV Motorsports...
  8. Oh yeah... definitely cool. I've always want to build an '78 Impala SS coupe. Buckets seats, F41 suspension, Rally wheels, etc.
  9. Yes, lots of them in greens and browns. I dated a girl in high school that drove an '81 Bonneville Brougham--4dr, silver blue, dark blue top and interior, had the traditional Pontiac mags..
  10. Fascinating and bizzare..who would have thought there would be so many oldies in the epicenter of BMW, Toyota and Honda worship? I know in Collectible Automobile mag, they always have pics of vintage '50s-60s cars seen on the streets of San Francisco..
  11. Fleetwood Mac
  12. It's always up the individual owner, of course, but even on 'performance' cars, I like plood...it adds some warmth visually to the interior. 'Metal' (i.e. aluminum colored plastic) is too cold and mechanical for my tastes... and real metal trim gets hot in the summer, so that's not good. I do like the old style 'turned aluminum' dash trim from the '70s Trans Ams and Bentleys though. One interior trim I strongly dislike is carbon fiber (fake or real)--looks disgusting, IMHO.
  13. Interesting..I wonder if they will get rid of the 4spd automatic and restyle it between now and then...
  14. Actually, 5. '67 Cougar (1 '67, 2 '68s), and '90 Lincoln Town Car (and also a '96, same style).
  15. Interesting looking at the COY award...my folks had 4 COY winners over the years.
  16. We will see...the Lincoln MKS seems to be targeting the RL's market. (largish AWD V6 luxury sedan).
  17. Looks better in darker colors. I like the 2 tone interior, would be better w/ plood, though..
  18. Everytime one of my sister's old Mercs goes to the shop (local Merc specialist German Auto) it's at least $500. They are money pits. It's not Europe...you weren't on the autobahn. The flashing lights trick doesn't work in the states...you are lucky you didn't pass a cop, or your irresponsible arse would have been in jail.
  19. Without the platform, though, what would the replacement use? A revised Sigma?
  20. Nice 944... I had a buddy in high school that had a black '87. He didn't show for the 20th reunion, don't know what he has now. I've always had a soft spot for Porsches...if I bought an older one, it would be a 993 C4....the last of the water cooled ones from the mid '90s. The perfect sports car for Colorado.
  21. BBE-'Deeper Love'... had to throw a little electronica into the mix
  22. Personally, I really can't tell the difference between most any pre-1948 GM product from a given year from one another without seeing the badging. It seems the 48/49ish designs for the A-, B-, and C- bodies was when they started having strong brand identities (with shared rooflines for each body line). Then again, it's not like I ever see these cars in person with any frequency..way before my time.
  23. Across 110th St-Bobby Womack, Use Me-Bill Withers, Take Me to The River-Al Green In a '70s funk/soul mood tonite..
  24. Theme from Shaft-Issac Hayes, Freddie's Dead-Curtis Mayfield, Hercules-Arron Neville
  25. CIA or NSA maybe? I could see a spy or assassin driving a Mini Cooper JCW..
