More Zeta : Crewman Ute as GMC
I doubt if this will ever make it here..PCS and his evil minions will prevent it.

MacBook AIR!
Pretty cool, but I'll stick w/ my Mac Book Pro.

Would you guys buy the Edix if it was available here?
That would be useful, kind of fit between the Fit and Civic..

NA Zeta
The beginning of the end...GM NA will be dead with a decade? Is that the plan?

NA Zeta
Umm, GM's been build appliances for 20+ years...many car enthusiasts long ago moved to Hondas and BMWs...

Challenger Unmasked
I like how they went with the '70 style grille instead of the concept car's grille. I like it..nice execution of retromodern design.

Now this is a toy I'd like to have!
Interesting.. I don't think I've ever seen a longbed regular cab of the current HDs..didn't know they still built that combination (the trucks I see are all extended and crew cabs). I imagine the gas mileage would be hideous, though...

Worked on an Enclave today
Interesting..I've never encountered one of the under the seat batteries..how do you access it--does the seat bottom fold up and there is a closed compartment w/ the battery?

High hopes for Chicago but,...
You just have to accept that's it's not 1970...you aren't going to get the wide variety of RWD V8 bodystyles that GM had then..it's a different time, different place.

High hopes for Chicago but,...
Yes, there is plenty of good stuff out now and coming....the drama queens on this board are taking things to extremes, I think.
-
High hopes for Chicago but,...
That happened many years ago...look at all the Corolla and Camry buyers (not to mention the millions of FWD generics GM sold in the '80s-90s).

GM @ NAIAS '08: Cadillac CTS Coupe Concept
Robert Hall replied to !!!TED!!!'s topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)The CTS coupe makes my daily driver decision more difficult...I was thinking of getting a new CTS sedan in the next year or so..now I'm thinking of waiting until June 2010 (if the coupe is available then). Either way, a CTS would be a great turning-40 (June 2010) car for me.. (the Grand Cherokee was my turning-30 purchase).

Robert Hall replied to !!!TED!!!'s topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)YEah..I'm looking forward to seeing if they do a convertible version...

GM @ NAIAS '08: Cadillac CTS Coupe Concept
Robert Hall replied to !!!TED!!!'s topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)Well, a loaded sedan is about $45k, so the coupe will probably top out close to $50k... the base will probably be under $40k, though.

GM @ NAIAS '08: Cadillac CTS Coupe Concept
Robert Hall replied to !!!TED!!!'s topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)True, he's hopeless...but the CTS coupe will probably be $40k+, so it's not exactly bargain basement..

VE Sportwagon will not make it to US says Bob Lutz
I wonder how many they could have sold, though..maybe a few thousand, but beyond that..
-
Cory's $20,000 Car
I rarely ever see '80s G bodies around here... once in a while i see a worn-out beater or a lowrider, but that's about it.

VE Sportwagon will not make it to US says Bob Lutz
I'm sure the cancellation of the Dodge Magnum helped this decision... wagons just don't sell in the US...too many crossovers and SUVs.
-
Best Concept Car
I think it should be, definitely.. they'd better not give best concept to the Venza.

Designer Dogs
Watch out...Nauti-P is ten pounds of terror..when she goes aggro, she's like a pirannha...tiny fangs..rip yer arm off..

2009 Impala 50th Anniversary Edition
Though I've long bashed GM-10/W- bodies, they are certainly better than the smaller FWD GMs that came from the '80s..the A- bodies, J-bodies, N- bodies in particular...some were even pretty cool--I still like the looks of the Cutlass convertible, early Regal coupes, and the '97-03 Grand Prix.. My opinion in general, historically, with both FWD and RWD models, GM has always done midsize and larger models better than compact or subcompact models, at least in NA.

2009 Impala 50th Anniversary Edition
Maybe it will go the way of the Crown Vic.... the 2015 Impala will be much the same as the 2005 was, but with a different grille and steering wheel cover..

GM @ NAIAS '08: Cadillac CTS Coupe Concept
Robert Hall replied to !!!TED!!!'s topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)Can't wait to see the CTC-v..(2010? 2011?).

Toyota @ NAIAS '08 Venza Crossover
Robert Hall replied to bowtie_dude's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)Hmmm..well if Venza is to Camry what Taurus X is to Taurus, then ? is to Malibu..(the next Equinox?)

And it turns out that the Japanese isn't doing that great this year, it seems...
The local TV ads are lind of like that here..one Toyota dealer specifically has comparison ads with two people w/ the same car (Camry, 4Runner, etc) and one smugly mentioned where they bought it and the deal they got, and the other is bummed because they bought elsewhere..
