That looks a hell of a lot nicer than the crappy Freedom Tower.

Have fun in jail.

Nice to see the chrome, but the Lucerne looks awful in those pictures. Something tells me the Lacrosse will get a similar grill in a couple of years.

645 HP 560 lb-ft :o

While not the prettiest car in the world, the ES is definitely not a "Camry with some leather": The next ES will be the last Lexus to start as a Toyota.

The Venture looks worse than the Blazer:

They should have been doing clays for a long time now....

There are a lot of potential winners in the COTY category: MX-5, Solstice, Infiniti M, 3er, HHR (not all that likely), Sonata, Civic, and Fusion. The truck side isn't as interesting, so the Ridgeline will probably win. What's the Rav4 doing on the list?

For the green one, there are words that should go in the circle. The other one is Italian. http://www.cheersandgears.com/public/style_emoticons//AH-HA_wink.gif

It costs $10k more than those.

That looks really good, with 325 HP to boot!

If I remember right there was some talk of making the Velite off the G6 after Zeta was screwed up.

Good news for Chevy. Now they need to put disk brakes on it.

I agree, I think this is a step backwards:

69.19

The SL is a very CEOish car as well.

I haven't said the Pledge since like 4th grade, but I agree that "under God" should be removed. It should revert to what Bellamy (went to U of Rochester, shameless plug :D) originally wrote.

What a moose. Hopefully if looks better from other angles.

"Ruben Studdard will always remember his first ham." "Studdard trained his dog to butter itself and jump into his mouth."

No joke is complete without a reference to Ruben Studdard.

Damn that looks HOT.

What CEO drives a 3series? From personal experience the A8L is very accurate.

43.75 B) Pretty funny considering I've never parallel parked in real life. :D

I'm going to have to disagree with these three points. Pontiac is indeed getting a boost in its image from the Solstice, but the Torrent and G6 coupe are already on dealer lots. The only upcoming model for Pontiac in the short term is the G6 convertible, which won't set the sales chart on fire. After that, the only cars reasonably close to production are the Solstice coupe and maybe the new Vibe. After that, it'll be the G6 refresh (2008) or RWD model (who knows). Buick is in a similar situation. I would characterize the Lacrosse as "acceptable". Sales aren't blazing, but they're decent. The Lucerne should do well, even with the lack of a V6. The Lambda will probably do pretty well also, but after that Buick has nothing. After the Rainier goes byebye, and Buick will be left with the Lacrosse, Lucerne, Terraza, and Centieme for several years. They will eventually get a Lacrosse on Epsilon II, but that's 4 years away. A RWD model might pop up just before then, but it's still a ways off. SAAB is just a mess. The 9-2X is back on form, selling under 100 units in September. The 9-7X sold double that, at a remarkable 132. I don't expect that figure to go up much without massive rebates. The 9-3 tanked last month; the SportCombi will help, but I don't think there are enough Saab hatchback freaks to bring sales back up to where they should be. The new 9-5 will probably bring the model back up to selling 1500 units a month or so, but that's not all that great. Other divisions seem OK though.
