Going to take it easy today...hang out at the pool, do some grilling, maybe head downtown to watch the fireworks tonite..

That's cool...looks pretty well done. I'm sure someone has done a Chevy El Camino from a Caprice wagon of that generation.

Hmm... A Pontiac Beat would fit in nicely with the Vibe, naming-wise.

I haven't even seen one of the '08s yet, except at a car show in March.

Looks good...no more Bangle butt...

They are obese, but GM's big CUVs and SUVs aren't exact lightweights either..

That revised front end (esp. the grille) makes the new Tribeca look like a Chrysler, IMHO...

Probably on vacation, with tomorrow being the 4th.

$38.02 July 2, 07. Ford--$9.64 then.

The NG Titan for '10 is supposed to a badge-engineered Dodge Ram...

Well, the Altima is their mainstream family sedan...the '09 Maxima is supposed to be back to their '4 Door Sports Car' image...so the price is in line with the Acura TL...

GM's FWD mass market cars are no different, though... all functional transportation appliances.

Chrysler's non-NA market share is quite tiny when compared to Ford and GM, though...not sure how much it contributes...

Happy Canada Day! I sent an email today to all my friends from Regina, SK that are in Denver...they are out celebrating tonight, of course.

A simple horizontal crease/character line starting at the top of the headlight cluster and running down the fenders, doors, back to the taillights (like the side crease on the '81-87 models) would look good, I think...

If I were a parent I would set up keystroke logging software on their machines first (looks like Refog's Keylogger is pretty effective) and for further analysis, use Wireshark to sniff all the network traffic to and from their machines. www.refog.com www.wireshark.org

Couple interesting Cadillac sightings today... this morning, I saw an early '80s Coupe de Ville on the side of the freeway, jacked up w/ one tire off...body looked straight, painted a light, bright blue (robin's egg blue) w/o vinyl top. Then later in the morning, from my office I saw a car hauler w/ a variety of cars on it zip by on the freeway, one of the cars being a white '61/62 Fleetwood 75...

That's a bargain, of course, the dealers will probably mark them up for a while.. that's how I'd equip one.... I'd have to have white and register it in Colorado.

Yeah..there are some aftermarket 18-20 inch wheels that sort of look like the a large version of the '70 Rallye wheel...I know that the Magnum 500 style 5-spokes were available on the '70, but the Rallye is the original Challenger's signature wheel, IMHO..

I love it...if this is indeed the beginning of the end, then this car (and the Mustang, Camaro, and G8) will be the last of the rock stars, so to speak..the last American style old school modern muscle cars. I want a white R/T. It's bold and brash, styled like it's from my birth year, and stands out amongst the generic FWDs that the mass market is today. Long live the V8s.

I think if I had to get something in the Aveo's class, I'd probably go for the Fit...seems like a better car all around, esp. the new one that's coming soon.

Something similar happened to me a few weeks ago, went through the Jack-in-the-Box drive thru, had a black Merc G55 AMG in front of me, and a silver SL AMG behind me..

Happy birthday guys, enjoy!

Odd to see a Nissan/Suzuki hookup...would have thought they would have done something with Isuzu or GM. Let's see, Nissan has had JVs with Ford, upcoming one with Chrysler, etc..
