Math. The difference is probably the 'Comfort & Sound Package' vs. the 'Sport Package' + v8..

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..

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?

Hilarious...that read like something from The Onion

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..

Who knows, maybe GM will make Zurich their world headquarters, since Detroit is in a perpetual decline...maybe GM will eventually abandon Michigan.

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).

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..

That was a good article..definitely seems like the G8 provides a serious, BMWish driving experience at a budget price...

eminem

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...

On ebay, they are $16.95-29.99...long way from $75...
