I've noticed a lot more cars in the US now have the Euro-style fender markers...I like those and the mirror-mounted turn signals..

Yeah, it was popular at one time..so were the J-cars..they were still mediocre $h!e...

If there's any stigma, it's more with the place than the company, I think...Detroit is perceived as a decaying, dying city, not to mention the disgusting cold, gray nasty winters. It must be tough getting talent to move there. In contrast, another big, global but American based company--Boeing--moved it's HQ from Seattle to Chicago a few years ago...Chicago has the same horrid winters as Detroit, but it's a happening, international city...

Wasn't GM's HQ in NYC for a long time?

It's not just the baby boomers, though...I know plenty of 30-something Camry, Corolla, Prius, RX, ES, 4Runner, Higlander, etc owners..way more than I know that drive domestics.

There are definitely analogies to be made... just as the Roman Empire had it's decline and fall, the American Empire is it's decline..

These morons that are stuck in the 19th century are all over, not just in the Bible Belt... Colorado has a bunch of these bigoted, hypocritical nut jobs...these are the clowns that gave the Republican party the image it has today--the white, intolerant, bigot bible thumper's party.

Speaking of poo and poo fans, check out The Poop Report website..this article about The Mad $h!ter is hilarious.. At Sea With the Mad $h!ter

fecalphilia, I think.

Yes..it would be nice to see GM offer diesels in the Astra, Aura, Cobalt, Malibu, etc... I think that would be a great way of raising their CAFE ratings (along with cutting back on the 5000-6000 bloat beasts).

GM's always behind the curve, though...remember, they still build some cars with pushrod V6s and 4spd automatics, as if it were 1994 or so...

My friends that have them say they get around 45mpg in typical mixed use (city, suburbia, freeway). The problem is those compact European diesels aren't here. The Prius is.

I see the V6 has 256 hp. This is the regular 3.6 and not the DI, I assume?

That's one I don't remember..I remember the Corsica sedan, but not the hatchback. I also remember the Canadian Pontiac Tempest version of the Corsica, saw a couple of those in Florida years ago...

There's a few other obscure small displacement V8s I was barely aware of--the Chevy 262 of '75-76 and 267 of '79-82, Pontiac's 265 in '80-81, and Olds' 260 of '75-82.

Well, considering how many politicians are paid off by big oil, I'm sure there is not much effort made at stopping them..

Well, it was a blink and you miss it thing...apparently only in the Caprice from '94-96....in '94-96 the Impala SS got the attention, the Caprice faded away..

Probably something transient..they may have been updating their website tonight..

Yes, basically a Japanese Buick. ES is to Camry as La Crosse is to Impala..

Looking forward to seeing it myself at the end of the month at the Denver Auto Show..

I'd love to see GM get with the program and offer a CTS diesel, Camaro diesel, etc. here...
