  1. This is not Bob Lutz's fault. This all goes back to Roger Smith and the 80s. All this slash and burn they are doing now SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE THEN! BUT THEY HAD NO BALLS!

    I'm sorry, he had allot to do with it. He stuck his nose into the design department way too much. Pontiacs were all about crazy, racing-inspired designs like the Grand Prix GTP, and Grand Am GT. Pontiacs seemed to be the only domestic brand that even attracted import buyers to buy. What he did is turned them into rebadged Chevys. He turned GM cars into Chryslers of the 90's. He is too old, and too cocky, and needs to suck it up and leave. The only success I would give him credit for is the, ummm... G8. Which was not even designed by him (thank God!)

  2. Truthfully, the Genesis is good enough, Hyundai doesn't need this! However, this car is not all that new, it's actually on generation number three!

    It was a joint venture job with Mitsubishi to create an S-Klasse fighter for the domestic market. Mitsu got their own version, Hyundai got theirs. Now Hyundai is the lone player of this car, since Mitsubishi backed off.

    Citing an unnamed source "close to the project," InsideLine is reporting that Hyundai plans to bring the Equus super-sedan to the States within the next two to three years. According to the insider, "... you wouldn't be too far off if you said the car was coming to the United States. Our chairman wants it."

    Although the news doesn't come as a complete surprise, particularly considering Hyundai brought out an Equus to this week's New York Auto Show, the biggest hurdle to overcome is price. In its current form, the Equus starts at around $96,000, putting it squarely up against such high-dollar machinery as the Audi A8, BMW 7 series, Lexus LS and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Hyundai knows it's not ready to swim with the whale sharks of the luxury world, so it's hoping to get the sticker closer to $50,000 when equipped with the automaker's 5.0-liter V8 and new eight-speed transmission.

  4. I'd rather have an Aveo5 LT or G3 with sport pack and power features... Seriously.

    :rotflmao:

    Sure gm4life, anything with a GM badge is always the best right? :alcoholic:

    I wonder if you'd like it if it had a Daewoo badge?

    LOL

  5. Everyone on this thread except for Dodgefan and enzl seem to have a closed-minded approach to this vehicle. True dodgefan, i would perfer a soul. Anyways, ted and i were the only ones out of all of you to see this up close and personal. it is a different vehicle. nissan is moving in a good direction by introducing this to north america, because it is the right car for the times. it is fuel-efficient, inexpensive, and very space efficnient. as for you reg with your ignorant comments, nissan is moving in the right direction with the versa and the cube. the versa came out with a 1.6 value model starting at 12k canadian. trust me, and they are selling, and the cube will too. and guys, dont compare the aztek to vehicles like this. the aztek was a huge family wagon, these are econo-boxes from asia. just admit it fanboys, GM just never got around to making anything like this, and they should.

  6. Lutz needs to stop talking and retire! This guy is living in his own little world. For years he's been promising us that GM will be a global leader. He destroyed Pontiac, destoryed Saab, turned every car in the GM line up into boring, watered down designs, and he seems to have an obsession with tacky interior materials. He came to GM as a savior, so far all he's brought us are niche cars, and a Cobalt. Maybe GM should hire someone like Mulally instead of these dinosaurs, who think they are making "gotta-have cars". Yeah..... gotta have for the rental lot.
