Interesting...I wonder if the DNS entry for that site has changed..I tried going to CZ28.com w/ firefox and get this error: Server not found Firefox can't find the server at www.carch-default.partner. I tried with IE and got the 'server not available' error dialogs, I tried a second time, and it loads fine now..

Eight-Brand Pileup Dents GM's Turnaround Efforts - WSJ
Robert Hall replied to buyacargetacheck's topic in General Motors
I seem to recall reading somewhere that one year, (in the '50s or '60s) the largest Buick was actually longer than the longest regular (non-limo) Caddy... -

Cadillac has one halo vehicle now..the XLR. -
I vaguely remember reading about that engine years ago..looks like it was made '94-96 and only used in the Caprice..

Me too...though I like the terms 'secular humanist' and 'functional realist' also.. As far as cars, I consider myself brand-agnostic...I like cars in general...an all-around car enthusiast, not particularly fixated on one brand or another...

GM has been it's own worst enemy for a long time...too many of the apologists blame Toyota, etc for GM's problems...GM is the biggest source of GM's problems, IMHO... -

If they could improve the aerodynamics and cut the weight for the next generation, (the Escalade is absurdly obese) that would help the fuel economy also.. -

Those 4cyl versions are probably there to keep the dealers happy...the Saturn and Pontiac dealers regard Chevy as their main competition, I think... True, the Camry, ES350, and Avalon are platform mates, like GM has done with the Epsilon siblings and W-body siblings, for example...most every automaker does platform sharing... people seem to commonly confuse cloning/badge engineering (sheetmetal/interiors shared) with platform sharing (only dirty bits shared). Again, though, if GMC doesn't have the crossovers, the dealers will scream... -

Agreed..they are definitely improving, but still have a ways to go...better plastics, better fit and finish, more color choices, etc... -

Well, it couldn't do any worse..the 6.2 gets what, 12 mpg? -

Very strange, does Josh know Bob Lutz?

Ah, yes..those crazy royals..all the royal families of Europe seem to be related to each other.. -
My experience working in large companies, both public and private, is that they are generally corrupt and fundamentally unethical...I don't trust them to do the right thing. But I'm a cynical contractor, so I'm in it for the money..

That is surprising to hear, esp. considering GM's been all about the 4spd automatics for decades... -

And she has her own diesel Land Rover Defender..with a manual transmission! (assuming the movie 'The Queen' was accurate on that aspect). -
AMT 1:25th '59 Buick Invicta 2dr ht model
Robert Hall replied to Robert Hall's topic in Merchandise Lookout
I wonder where Sixty Eight is... I think he'd find this thread interesting (since it's a '59 Buick). -
Yeah...I remember a couple years ago when I was whinging about 0F temps here in Denver, my Canadian buddies would be bragging about how it was 50 below and sunny or whatever in SK..

Hah-hah...I meant England-origin English, commonly called the 'Queen's English'. -

Yes, past tense form. It's in Queen's English, but not American English... -
