  1. The problem is engineers generally have no interest in moving into the management side of things... Very different mindsets and motivations between the technical and managerial worlds.
  2. Because on the internet, arguing over trivia is the highest form of conversation..
  3. Just watched an interesting Hungarian movie--"Kontroll" that has a great soundtrack...got to find it.
  4. Wow...that Pontiac coupe is CLEAN. I don't think I've seen one that nice since '77.
  5. Ok...I give up. You are impossible.
  6. I'm surprised they don't make him register as a car dealer. I had a buddy in college that bought, fixed up, and sold cars continuously for about 5 years to pay his way through school..I think he had over 100 cars over a 5 year span..
  7. I certainly refer to them as coupes... definitions change over time. These body style definitions are not cast in stone...stop being such a curmudgeon and open your mind, ok? (of course, in the bigger scheme of things, this is all just trivia).
  8. Whatever...
  9. Yes, outside the US. It was only sold here for a brief time. I think in the US, many people would confuse it with the Festiva, which was a real POS.
  10. Little brother for Aygo, eh? I could see this coming to the US as the Scion IQ (or a hybrid version as the Prius IQ).
  11. Some coupes have B-pillars but frameless door glass, for instance, a Ferrari 550, 575, 599, or 612. Or the current Mustang. No one would call them 2dr sedans...
  12. Huh? The Buick is gone already? Wow...you change cars fast....
  13. Yes, and in a subcompact like that, a sedan is rather pointless..the 3dr and 5dr versions look better and are more practical..
  14. I'm sure by NAIAS 09 we will see the production headlights (as the glacial pace continues).
  15. Having him still in that role in 2010 doesn't sound very good, IMHO....he's a lifer..they need change.
  16. Hmm...when I was 28 in '98, as a car enthusiast who read all the magazines (and with an '87 Mustang GT), I bought a BMW M3...never considered a Buick. Nothing wrong with being an enthusiast...who wants to be one the bland sheeple with their Camrys?
  17. trump
  18. I don't think Cadillac buyers would necessarily be cross-shopping Corvettes..
  19. With the CAFE changes looming, I'm sure any and all future V8 plans are in flux..
  20. Wow...amazing. I always assumed the vans (dustbuster and later) were related to the GM-10/W bodies since the Lumina name was used on the car and the van.. GM definitely made a lot of use of their parts box of '80s FWD crapola..
  21. Yeah, one thing GM did in the late '80s that was so stupid were the idiotic door mounted seat belts (I don't know if the dustbusters had them). Ford also had the stupid automatic seatbelts...meanwhile, Chrysler went to airbags in all their models around '88 or so..
  22. That would make an interesting pair with the green '71 Eldo coupe used in that psycho killer road trip movie with Jim Caviezel from a few years ago (can't recall the name of the movie).
  23. Or the reverse...people will think 'why pay so much more for a Malibu, when I can get a Camry for so much less?
