  1. It's only fair, the Mustang platform is a derivative of the Lincoln LS platform.
  2. Technically, GM could use the same engine the Jeep is getting. They own 50% of the company that built it.
  3. No. the caliber really wasn't a nice entry level car..
  4. Both sedans are excellently competitive in their markets. Wagon versions would be likewise.
  5. Hell, I can only get about 260 miles to a tank on the CR-V.
  6. BMW built its image on very expensive RWD Volkswagen Jettas without the reliability.
  7. By building a car good enough to sell over seas. With better product they can grow a little in the USA, but they need a global winner to get sales. Which is why they need a flagship car to be taken seriously over seas. You don't sell a flagship in volume. You sell 3-series and C-class size cars in volume... which is what Cadillac has in the ATS.
  8. Thr RWD one; the other one looked just like a restyled Pontiac concept... The FWD one was a restyled Pontiac concept..
  9. Because the development costs to sell either of these in the U.S. are as close to zero as you can get, I say bring them both over, each at different price points obviously.
  10. Plenty of people want electrics. No one wants to pay for them yet.
  11. The M3 made its mark with the I6. No reason not to use it.
  12. Build quality. Fuel economy. Engine options. Interior room.
  13. My review will cover the long haul trip in the Verano. I took it to DC and back.
  14. GM hasn't gotten the Malibu right. Concentrate on the money makers first.
  15. And Nick Richards curbs our enthusiasm....
  16. Mercedes uses its V6 from the Sprinter in the E-class
  17. Oh well, it was nice knowing ya Acura.
  18. Spotted a first gen New Beetle with a giant rooster sticker on the back glass. Sounds like something OCN would drive..... A car with a giant cock on the butt.
  19. I'm thinking a set of body color sport mirrors from a Cutlass would do nicely here. The XCS sport mirrors would be too hard to find.
  20. I have to admit that this intrigues me and scares me a bit. I can't see enough of the interior to know if it is a hack job or not and I'd want to change out the wheels entirely. not a fan of the Cadillac fins either. but with the right budget, I'd build something like this with most of the stock brightwork blacked out.
  21. Cheers or Jeers: 1980 Oldsmobile HursToro - Hurst Package Concept Car 1 of 1 Ebay: 1980 Oldsmobile HursToro
  22. Mmmmmm found this from google - 1970 - 550 ft-lb @ 3000 looks like 1970 is the year to get
  23. Wow, that is a huge drop in torque with only a minimal drop in horsepower. Really tells you that the torque is all down low.
  24. I have no problem with them building a car for Cadillac and then sharing some of it with lesser cars.
