Hello, all-
Great site here - I check it often.
I think I may have violated the protocol by posting in a thread before posting in here - apologies. (I was so jazzed about the Regal GS concept I hopped onto that thread too soon!)
I previously owned a lowly W-body Monte SS (3.8 Series II) and quite liked it but sadly traded it for an SUV for my wife and being the great guy I am I took her old car (a dilapidated base level 2000 VW Golf with 130K miles). Needless to say this has encouraged much thinking and dreaming of what I will replace this hand-me-down with. G8 GT? New or used CTS? LaCrosse or Regal? Used STS? Lucerne Super? Silverado? Challenger R/T? If finances don't materialize as I'd wish, I'd even dig a Bonneville SSEI, Aurora, Riviera, heck maybe even some older Panther-based car if I could convince myself I'd get semi reasonable reliability from any of these.
I am sad about GM's finances and about the role of the administration and don't pretend to understand it all but it is exciting at least to see some of the newer GM product lately such as the Lacrosse and Regal and I eagerly await such things as the new XTS, perhaps a some day Impala replacement, and numerous possibilities.
Thanks for 'listening'!
