Lutz: GM Needs Fewer Brands, More Marketing
According to what I read, two 1969 ZL-1 Corvettes were built: one has survived (it's a yellow car), the other, IDK. The engine was basically an aluminum version of the iron block 427 cid V8 with some changes tot he heads, I think. There were more ZL-1 engined cars, 1969 Camaros IIRC.

It will take massive amounts of money, time, management and strategic planning skills. It's not impossible, but I'd bet more money on Chrysler going into bankruptcy/liquidation.- Word Association
wine Since today is Christmas Eve, a somewhat obscure religious reference - in the Bible, the 1st to offer a sacrifice of bread and wine, long before the Last Supper, was Melchisedeq, who offered a sacrifice of bread and water (IIRC to, or in praise of, Abraham).- Holden confirms it will build all-new small car from 2010
I look at this sketch and I remeber when I saw a sketch of the 94 Monte Carlo... I was so excited until I saw the real thing... I think it'll get a new front bumper and grille, and that's it.- Lutz: GM Needs Fewer Brands, More Marketing
IMHO SAAB could be the perfect brand for that. But BMW (or any other OEM) won't take a 2nd look at them in the current environment.- Word Association

I didn't write Hybrid, I wrote "green" which can be achieved through lower displacement engines, which do get better mileage if you're mostly driving around town (as people outside the US do most of the time); lighter-weight materials; something like BMW's Efficient Dynamics...- Word Association

Above MINI and somewhat parallel to BMW, offering turbocharged 4-cylinder sport-luxury cars with a very sharply focused "green" image. It's targeted at those who want a "green" image, practicality and styling that reflects that set of Values. I don't see it selling more than MINI's volume, but I think BMW could pull it as they did with MINI.- What simple pleasures do you enjoy?
There's another one I just remeber: sleeping! A good night sleep when you're feeling tired or down is a real pleasure!- Word Association
pronoun He produced Mötley Crue, Metallica (he even played bass on St. Anger), Kingdom Come, The Cult, Cher, Skid Row, Veruca Salt, Bryan Adams, Lostprophets, and The Offspring among other artists. He's also a musician and a recording engineer.- Lutz: GM Needs Fewer Brands, More Marketing
I personally wouldn't... Now that's a good thing to copy because all these brands have very, very sharp focus. I think a 4th brand fits in here, but it won't happen because the BMW Group won't be able to get the acquisition financing it would need for that 4th brand... You forgot Seat and Skoda :AH-HA_wink:- Word Association
