Mark LaNeve: Camaro won't be positioned as a muscle car
I just think priorities will change whenever the cost of such vehicles becomes prohibitive to most people. I think that if it comes to choosing between paying/feeding a V8 car and having a more comfortable lifestyle, the majority of people will go for keeping their overal quality of life even if that means sacrificing the V8. Of course a few hardocre fans will always love their V8 cars, and of course enthusiast boards like these will always have a higher percentage of hardocre fans than the general public. Ordo ab Chao, I allways say :AH-HA_wink:

Mark LaNeve: Camaro won't be positioned as a muscle car
Since I pulled that question out of my ass, that's an appropriate answer :rotflmao: But there are serious questions too, not directed only at you: how much will people be willing to pay for a V8 car? Where exactly is the line drawn, financially, and what are people willing to let go off to have their V8s? Those are important questions.

The one thing I don't like about Holden
I meant slimy, green aliens Now for the serious answer: PCS has posted about Alpha going to Chevy and Cadillac. To me that reads GME and GMNA ganging up against Holden.

New Camaro picks (Black)
Odd but interesting cross shopping ideas your dad has... If I had the money to cross shop anything against an Aston Martin I wouldn't cross shop anything: I'd just go to the nearest Aston Martin dealer and get me one of those beauties.

2009 Nissan Maxima Leaked
That leaves the alternative it is probably a reskinned NG Teana. Unless the Maxima is a new US-only sedan.

C&G @ NYIAS: Saab
Saab website: you can see a list of countries there. I think the reasoning here is that while volume is low, the foot is through the door in all those countries so it's probably better value-wise to use that to increase global sales (probably pair Cadillac/Corvette/Hummer with Saab to increase awareness of the American brands wherever the market supports them) than to invest in making Pontiac profitable again, especially when AFAIK Pontiac is sold in US/Canada/Mexico only. GM is predicting that 80% of the industry volume growth will happen in emerging markets (read Russia, Central Asia, China, Latin America, Africa, Middle East) over the next 5 years, so that's where brand expansion and eventually capacity investment will be going. With such a disparity in growth rates mature markets like the US and Western Europe are going sideways. As for the GM = GME, I'll let PCS explain/defend that whenever he feels like it. He's a big boy and he can explain/defend his remarks whenever he feels like doing so.
