    What would be interesting is if they do a fixed roof version of the Sky with a different design.
  2. Robert Hall
    Maybe a large percentage of that is disinformation you and your minions are planting?

    Went for a post-lunch, post-meeting stroll around my office parking lots a few minutes ago to wake up (nice sunny 57-degree day here the Denver burbs). I saw a very clean late-60s/early-70s Merc 280SE sedan in a cream color, German plate on the front. Also saw a sharp Mexico Blue mid '70s 911.

    Agreed.. I'd love to see Riviera and Electra (my favorite Buick name) make a comeback also.

    New Fit is Go! I've been seeing a lot of Fits lately, incl. a bright orange one w/ tinted windows yesterday.
  6. Robert Hall
    Yeah, odd... but whatever.....IMHO, let Chevy and Saturn do the mass market FWD generics, let Pontiac have several niche RWD products...
  7. Robert Hall
    Yes...I once rode in a Lotus Elise with the top on...it was painful getting in/out (I'm 6'0"). This looks like it would be about as tight.... Looks like it... maybe an option. It doesn't look like the metal panel would fit in the 'trunk' area, though.

    I'd take the G8, of course. The Malibu is fine for what it is, but it's a mainstream FWD family sedan. Not my thing.
  9. Robert Hall
    I can't wait to see it in person. I wonder if I would be able to fit comfortably and see out with the roof on, though..the side windows seem quite small.
  10. Robert Hall
    Because the market won't pay BMW prices for a Cadillac?
  11. Robert Hall
    Yeah, I remember that. I'm sure some people also wanted to badge a version of the FWD Grand Prix as a GTO instead of a GTP/GXP/whatever.
  12. Robert Hall
    I assume GM didn't unstiffen the platform and simply added the roof. Hence, it's heavier. And remember, it's a targa, not a full roof. So it needs to be as stiff as possible..
  13. Robert Hall
    Interesting..a lot higher than I thought. I'm always amazed at the people I know my age (late 30s) that admit they can't drive a stick.
  14. Robert Hall
    It's heavier because this is a convertible with the coupe upper added ..if you look closely at the pics, you can see the seams where the coupe upper mates to the convertible quarter panels..I assume the rear upper structure is a plugin that fits where the decklid and boot of the convertible were. When it's the other way around, (i.e. a coupe from which a convertible is derived, then the coupe weighs less).
  15. Robert Hall
    Because so few North Americans actually know how to use a manual, let alone buy them... aren't manuals like 3% of total sales in NA?
  16. Robert Hall
    Interesting how similar the greenhouse and proportions are to the MKS....they almost look like they could siblings for two brands sharing a platform.
  17. Robert Hall
    Slick..very slick.
  18. Robert Hall
    I think that's the answer right there...or how about the buses and big rigs spewing out their filth? I blame the corrupt, vile people that manage large corporations. And don't forget the cattle, burping and farting mEthane. They need to be fitted w/ catalytic converters..
  19. Robert Hall
    Is the Insignia Epsy II?
  20. Robert Hall
    GM's a global company..obviously, they are going to invest in emerging markets that have growth potential.
  21. Robert Hall
    I'm guessing it's a concept for the next Lucerne..it looks bigger than a LaCrosse/Epsy II Regal will be..
  22. Robert Hall
    Whatever it is, it looks pretty interesting...I like the classic Buick sweepspear on the side and love the name. Nothing wrong with using 'heritage' names, IMHO... I love the names Invicta and Electra in particular. (by the way, here's a geek factoid--I have the computers on my home network named Impala, Catalina, Ventura, Invicta, and Electra-- '60s GM big-car names that end in 'a').
  23. Robert Hall
    Kewl.
  24. Robert Hall
    I'd compare the Avalon to the Lucerne or Sable...it's more of a large, cushy Buick-style cruiser than the G8. The G8's only domestic competitor is the Charger, and for the imports, maybe the '09 Maxima? (yes, the Maxima is FWD, but it's a largish, cheap sport sedan...no RWD equivalents in the non-premium brands that I can think of).
  25. Robert Hall
    Boring...it's a 5000lb truck. Hopefully GM will still have RWD cars, at least for Cadillac. As will Infiniti and Lexus... and Jaguar if they are still around.
