VE Sportwagon will not make it to US says Bob Lutz
Drew Dowdell replied to douglask's topic in Heritage Marques
I really don't think cutting the zeta wagon for the US will have much impact at all on the overall zeta lineup. Remember, WE have CAFE, but GM still sells to Australia, the Middle East and China. -

this really shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone. you can also blame the falling dollar for making the case for it even more difficult. -
then why do BMW <6-series>, Mercedes <CLK> even bother?
-
MKC at best...

2009 Impala 50th Anniversary Edition
Drew Dowdell replied to Mule Bakersdozen LS's topic in Chevrolet
this is about as important as a final 500 Silhouette. and I say that as an Oldsmobile fan.... -
For a car bordering on Taurus size, that's great.
-
$4,000 will get you a very nice Toronado.... well... since everyone else is being a broken record, I figured I might as well too....

Not everything needs to be a sports car. Sometimes premium just means a nice, well appointed, front driver for daily use. What the Milan attempts to be. One of the things I like about the Milan is that you can get a 4-cylinder completely loaded.

So does GM. The CTS is already being sold with a 2.9 litre diesel in Europe.
-
HO-LEE-@#$@ SMK, you can officially bite me now if you have something to say about this car. This thing completely out styles anything from Germany or Japan.
-
I bet the Enclave ends up selling better than the CX-9 though.
-
I've wondered when we'd go to Lithium Ion batteries. They hold a charge better, they're lighter, and they aren't susceptible to cold temperatures like lead acid.
-
woot!

They need something along the specifications of the N-body again. The Epsilon has gotten too big and heavy and the Delta is still too awkwardly packaged. This is a hole in the lineup. Something the size/weight of an Alero with NA and Turbo 4 cylinders only could be a hot seller in both the Pontiac/Chevy market and the Saturn/Buick market. The old Alero with an old EcoTec easily gets 35mpg highway. edit: and FWD... before the "everything must be RWD" crowd gets here.

it's usually because your posts are so all over the place we only have the energy to respond to your most off points.

Lucerne is selling better than anything in it's class other than the Chrysler 300 which has a much lower base price and a much higher loaded price. Thetas are also some of the oldest on the market. There are new entries from Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai, Ford (2), Nissan, heck even the Dodge Nitro is newer. They did well while they were new and now it's time to replace them. Simple as that.
-
final Gen rivieras have theirs under the rear seat Lincoln LS has it's battery in the trunk... contributed to the near 50/50 weight distribution. at Ford for canceling that platform.
-
But it will be based on performance... and that's what these cars are about. Do you really think that M5 owners buy their car for the 20-way power seats... or the kick in the ass performance? How lame would it be when a CTS-V beats an M5 and the owner comes up with "Oh yeah!? Well, I have 20-way power seats and rear door sunshades!" Focus on what is important with this type of car. CTS-V production is limited to 7,000 per year. Cadillac will sell every one without discount.
-
my comments weren't on quality, but rather style... and neither the C65 nor the M5 blow open the styling doors.
-
incorrect and incorrect. 1. LT-1... in the Roadmaster and Fleetwood, one the the smoothest, quietest engines you could buy. 2. If you hadn't noticed, GM is consolidating engine lines. They are throwing their money at the HF family because of tools like you who whine about DOHC incessantly.
-
So Cadillac's is right in line.
-
bad run through Babblefish I'm sure.
-
There ya go... export market for Idaho.
-
Really? I guess I didn't get that point. I always thought the point of buying a car like this was to show everyone how big your pe...... uh... cucumber is.
-
it'll probably sell well though because it's alone in it's segment.
