  1. I know a guy in Denver that has a business making fake Lamborghini Countach bodies for Fieros.. it's lame stuff, but apparently, there are people that buy such crap.
  2. I hate that movie because of the pointless destruction of Challengers and Chargers...wouldn't have cared if they had used Camaros and Chevelles (Chevys are way more common than Mopars..) The Challenger was a hardtop, the movie makers added fake door window frames for attaching the belts for the wierd hood surfing scene..
  3. They definitely are in the 'dare to be different' category. The Frazer, though, was pretty bland looking, about as dull as the similarly shaped Chrysler Corp products of the late '40s - early '50s. '50s cars are just too far before my time to really appeal to me, the '60s-70s are much more to my taste for old cars.
  4. I'm not down with the Costco...they don't take Visa or Mastercard.
  5. If they sell the Wave here, they could also do a luxo version for Buick, sell it as the Skyhawk. And beefed-up Hummer H5 version. (with big chrome grille, off-road looking fender flares, etc).
  6. Close by...I'm originally from the New Philadelphia area in Tuscarawas County. Also lived in Steubenville on the Ohio River for 10 years as a kid...my folks split their time between Steubenville, the family farm outside New Philadelphia, and later Marathon, Florida where I went to high school.
  7. Yeah, I go back there a few times a year to visit my Mom and brother, my Mom still has the family property (150 acres in the woods on a lake in the coal country of Eastern Ohio), but there is not much within 50-100 miles (Canton/Akron 50 miles, Pittsburgh, 75 miles, Cleveland, 100 miles, Columbus, 100 miles). Pretty, quiet place to visit, but nothing going on... I could see myself living in Pittsburgh or Columbus when I get bored with the desert, though.
  8. Good article... this has been going on for a long time, though...20 years ago when I went off to college I could see there was no future for me in Podunk, Ohio... large metro areas are where the good jobs are.
  9. Just retitle them as '09s and try and sell next year...
  10. It's the late '90s-early '00s Chrysler interiors I really like, esp. in black..'99-04 Grand Cherokee, '99-04 LHes (Intrepid, Concorde, etc)...the design and the materials.
  11. Yeah, I've been a lifelong Mustang fan and owner, but I could see myself in a V8 Camaro convertible..
  12. In my price range, CTS and G8 GT. As far as dream vehicles, CTS-v, ZR1. Future--Camaro.
  13. This is the second time I've heard a references to a 'minivan replacement'...what is this? I haven't seen any mention of it anywhere else...not the Traverse? If it's coming in less than a year, I would have thought there would have been some buzz about it, or a car show unveiling...
  14. Never underestimate how many people are content with white bread, vanilla, etc. To millions of consumers, a car is an appliance.
  15. So GM abandoning minivans seems like a bad move, at least in the CA market. Where are those potential sales going to go next year (isn't '08 the last year for the Uplander?).
  16. For fleets, they could take the previous gen Malibu and badge it as a 'GM Generica'.
  17. I assume these 'one time' charges are just a lot of accounting BS...that they are cooking the books...who knows what the real numbers are.
  18. Looks very nice...I see a strong Acura and Honda look to the design.
  19. Well, GM separates Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, etc sales even though they are brands of the same company...same rationale.
  20. I think it's because those 3 were redesigned for '08 (Seqouia, LX, Land Cruiser), so '07 was the last year of the previous generations..
  21. Yes, my dissapointment with recent Chrysler products has been interior materials and fit and finish, not the design. The '05-present Grand Cherokee, for instance..the design is fine, but the materials are dreadfully cheap for a $35k+ vehicle...my '00 GC interior has much nicer, soft touch materials on the dash instead of the concrete-like material of the '05+.
  22. I like the '79-85 Eldorado and Riviera also.... As far as modern FWD, I like the current Acura TL, the 2nd gen Chrysler LHs, the first and second gen Acura Legends (esp. the coupe), the last generation Prelude, the current Saab 9-3.
  23. Ahh... that makes sense. One thing that is interesting, the black/gray interior has a different greenhouse than the tan one. I'm guessing the tan one is a Patriot and the dark one a Compass?
  24. What's with the red target logos on the seats??
