But an SUV can still be a fun car.

What new 2011 vehicle do you wish you could own?
Drew Dowdell replied to GMTruckGuy74's topic in The Lounge
The 300C-SRT8 and a CTS-V Wagon for the wifey. -
I get a stupid grin on my face every time I drive my '81 Toronado. "Fun" doesn't always have to be apexing a corner... something that would be completely beneath my car's dignity. Fun can often times having little kids in the next car over mouthing "wow" when you glide by.
-
Executive for me with a V8... but that's a tough choice over the SRT-8.
-
Looks wise, it does nothing for me. I think the made a bit of a mess of the front that was originally one of the most handsome on the market. But that powertrain.....
-
I disagree with the premise that a daily car can't be a fun car and a fun car can't be a daily car.
-
I really enjoyed my week with the Volt. The only issue I had with the car (the touch sensitive center stack) had nothing to do with the powertrain. I'd love to build an OldsmoboVolt if I hit the powerball.

You can actually feel and see the grain in the wood of the Executive Series. It's not just that it is satin.
-
3 feet to the left in that shot and you would have gotten 3 of us from C&G. The interior wood int he Executive model is NICE. Feels very "old country club"
-
The outgoing LTZ has LED tail lamps that use pinpoints similar to the 2013 version
-
Wholesale gas prices spiked today. Most of the country will be over $4.25 a gallon in 3 to 4 weeks.... likely all of the country by July 4th. All that needs to happen is to have the news stories continue about these gas prices.... "and next up, Chevy releases a new mid-size car that they claim can beat the Toyota and Ford hybrid fuel economy"
-
Perhaps the 2.5 engine won't be quite ready yet but the eAssist engine will be.
-
Of note: No LED tail lights on the Eco model.
-
Back to the Malibu. I think any fears you guys have of the Malibu tails will fade away once you see the car in person. They did a superb job on this car.
-
lighter connecting rods might actually help with NHV and/or the willingness to rev.
-
We're taking the NJ Transit Northeast Corridor train from the Hamilton (Sloan Ave.) station to Penn Station-New York, and walking (or taxi) to the Jacob Javitz Center. You could probably take the river line from Burlington (which is near you I recall) to the Trenton Transit center and take the Corridor train from there. You'd get your choice of seats being the first station.
-
How are you getting there?
-
I wonder what inside the engine is actually lighter....
-
Because they are tuned for torque and as a result are able to get good fuel economy while providing a fun drive.

Who here was born after 1988?
