Woah! It's got the shape, now it just needs the hardware... that could be 7-series competitive with that shape.....

I wondered why the stock was tanking these past two days....
-
and people wonder why cars are so expensive these days.

I wouldn't do the Buick, just the Saturn and Chevy. Saturn is moving upmarket and fast, it is easily going to take over Oldsmobile's space in a few years. Oldsmobile is more of a family/people's car than Buick is. Chrysler, the biggest minivan seller gets by with just Dodge and Chrysler. There is no way that GM, one of the lowest minivan sellers needs more than that. Chevy Biscayne = Dodge Caravan/Chrysler Voyager Saturn Relay = Chrysler Town & country

The 98 Malibu is a completely different car and platform than the current model. They are similar in name only.

I don't know what you're talking about man. Mom had a Bonneville for years. It's what I took my driver's test in. Plenty of legroom back there.

eh, that's your next gen 300c right there folks.

I don't get it.

Not seeing what you're seeing Bimmer: Aura: Malibu:

the Hyundai is a mess The Mazda, Ford, and Accord all look dated already The Nissan and G6 look too close for comfort, and they remind me of the final generation Grand Am. The Camry is just ok, fairly bland and non-descript The Passat looks like a watered down Lucerne The Jetta is ok, but I'd like to see it in another color. Where's the Aura?

Personally, I was waiting to enjoy the crash test pictures....

someone break embargo?

Where did you get that?

Cadillac to Unveil Stretched DTS-L at LAIAS
Drew Dowdell replied to Flybrian's topic in LA Auto Show
Doctor, can I be on what he's on? -
or $19k on a Miata... but then there's that whole blending into the wallpaper problem to deal with.

so... funny sounding I4 making 175 HP/180 ft.lbs or funny sounding V6 making 205hp/230 ft.lbs. and both get about 30mpg highway. I'm not sure what you mean when you say the Altima is roomier, the only dimension where the Altima beats the Bonnie is in front legroom by an inch. Rear legroom in the Bonneville is two inches more than the Altima.

It also wouldn't be a $199 line item on that Camry's window sticker. -

Congratulations, but that has nothing to do with reliability.

One also wouldn't expect one's carburetor to suddenly quit functioning after February 2008 simply because Holly decided to no longer support it. -
Fly, am I understanding you right that NOS's mom is having issues because she is old and worn out from having too many users?

I wonder how many $19,900 Solsti Pontiac sold. If most of them were going in the upper end of the range, I don't blame GM for adjusting the price up. GM just needs to be smart and realize that someday the market for the high end models will be tapped out and they'll have to star making the lower end ones. You didn't really think that the extended warrenty was free did you?

and... the stock tanks....
