It's the pic..it's listed on the packaging as an '84. I remember those cars from back in the day, but don't remember exactly the year-to-year grille changes, so '84 sounds ok. I think it's from the same tooling as the '83/84 Hurst Olds JL did a while back.

Yeah, the market for 2dr SUVs has pretty much died out. I used to have a Bronco II and my mom had an Explorer Sport..they were ok, but I much prefer the 4drs of my Grand Cherokee... 4drs are just more practical for loading and unloading passengers and stuff from the back seat. I'm liking the new Wrangler alot.. it's amazing how different the base model looks from the Rubicon, primarily due to difference in tire size.

The worthless f*ck should be suspended now, IMHO. If he's found guilty, he should get the chair (or worse).

Too bad GM doesn't have something this stylish and cool in the subcompact market..the generic, styleless Aveo doesn't compare favorably..

Yes...what amazes me is that it took decades to build it.

Obese...we are the fattest nation on earth....

True, but considering they are American--the land of obese people--that the cars and SUVs are heavy and getting heavier is a given..

Agreed..plenty of choice is a good thing. But I do wonder how brands like Isuzu or Suzuki can stay afloat in the US market... (i.e. do they turn a profit?). I love seeing the high dollar, low volume models here...the world would be a lesser place without rolling art like Maseratis, Aston Martins, etc...

Acura has it's own niche, I don't think it will have the volume of Lexus or Infiniti, but in it's on way it fits nicely along with other FWD/AWD near-lux brands like Saab and Volvo. Acuras are a nice step up from regular Hondas.

Mitsubishi seems barely there... not sure what value Kia adds (seems largely redundant w/ Hyundai). And what about Suzuki and Isuzu? Invisible.. I don't see any of the European brands leaving, though Saab seems to be barely a blip on the radar these days..

Yeah, there is a ton of neat stuff out from JL currently...they also have a nice dark red w/ vinyl top '83 Cutlass Supreme now..

Ouch..reminds me of my accident in '94, when a Ford van (driven by a Ford employee) pushed a Town Car into my '86 Mustang LX... did $4000 damage to a $2500 car (it had about 60k miles and was rust-free, which was rare in Michigan). Neither door would open, the decklid was folded up and pushed through the rear window, both rear quarters accordioned. I wore a neck brace for a few weeks, went to a doctor and a chiropractor..

Though I've always thought Hummers are lame poser-mobiles, I certainly wouldn't condone mindless vandalism. I had to laugh, though, when I read that the guy was 32 and living w/ his mother.

The biggest dissapointment to me is that the DI engine isn't available w/ the manual..

20% for a car loan??? Outrageous!

The father of a friend of mine drove Cadillacs for years, until he bought one of the first year ('03?) Bangle BMW 7-series..nothing but problems, incl. the i-Drive. Unloaded it for a '05 Merc S-class...nothing but problems, in the shop all the time. Now? He's driving an '07 STS.

No wonder the Corolla and Camry are the cars of choice of H1-Bs when they come to the US.... they are 1000% better than what they had back home..

Mmmmmm...more diesels.

I doubt I will be going w/ Vista anytime soon...the desktop w/ XP I bought in April 06 will be the last Windows computer I buy, now that I've gone to Macs.

And now for something completely different.. At work, there are a few (maybe a dozen or so) Priuses...but today I saw one like no other..not only did it have a 'W04' sticker (a Republican with a Prius? I would have thought that unpossible!), but it also had a decal in the rear window that says 'Bad Ass Boys Drive Bad Ass Toys'.... wow. There you have it..a Prius is supremely badass...

"The Love You Save" by The Jackson 5. Never heard it.

Sweet..it would definitely make a nice Saturn..keep the name...maybe call it Saturn Aura Calibra.

Kind of an apples and oranges thing since the Charger and Magnum are currently available, while the TA has been out of production for 4 years...

A couple articles I've seen in magazines indicate it would be a low volume model and V8 only...who knows, maybe they will build a V6 version..

Remember, 68, you are at a Chevy-Cadillac dealer..your percentages would be different at a Honda or Toyota dealer.
