ZL-1

On the other hand, and IIRC, it's not sold outside the US (not sure about Canada/Mexico).

GXP, Hybrid and AWD are what comes to mind.

Assuming the G8 gets all of those variants. I'm very curious as to how that new Monaro will look... Maybe it will look like to the VE, while sitting on the Camaro wheelbase?

Could be the Pontiac G8 El Camino

I work mostly in Corporate Finance: Valuations, M&A, Restructurings. My boss thinks I should play Accountant too. I'd love to do some Strategy Consultancy, though!Actually, thanks for reminding me of that: I have to start thinking about how to sell my talents when I move out of Lisbon :AH-HA_wink: Won't comment about what an external analyst can do. I must protect my peers

important :rotflmao:

Will the peppier verion be called the hissyfit?

For a minute there I thought he was a football coach, then I read the story

You finally got me: I'm a bot and a smartass I have the 'display signatures' feature disabled. Makes it easier to read the forums.

I'm sure it will happen that way: people will vote with their wallets which brands live and which ones die. Re what divisions are profitable or not, there are ways to know which ones are/aren't. The fact that all is accounted for in 1 basket rather than 7 or 8 only makes the accounting criteria more debatable. But it's still possible: on a much smaller scale I have such an assignment waiting for me when I go back to the office next week: we ANAL-ysts do fun such stuff sometimes

About the same time Pontiac could be getting the 'fade away treatment'?

Pontiac G8 SportWagon anyone?

I remebered reading it but did't remeber it was you.Post your answer as soon as you have it :AH-HA_wink:

Well, I wouldnt go any further than Pontiac El Camino, and that would be an exageration already. But I don't think GMC El Camino wouldn't be that bad, although I realise Chevy enthusiasts would probably kick and scream about it.On second thought, why not a Hummer El Camino?

laugh

didn't get that one...response to thread: german shepherd

Pontiac/GMC El Camino? As someone pointed out before, it has been done with the Chevrolet/GMC Suburban.

heroes 'Disposable Heroes' = Metallica song. I feel I'm being a little repetitive with this reply

What's next? Some weirdo sticking Buick ventiports in an Aston Martin?

I'm no engineer, but why not double turbocharging? smaller turbo for low revs, two turbos for mid-range, and bigger turbo for the upper-rev range.

Being outside the car industry, I have trouble understanding what GM wants to do. Sometimes I get the feeling GM doesn't know what to do either...I do think a CTS range would be important in establishing Cadillac as credible internationally, but I understand that a range that would (for example) have a non-V-Series V8 engine would kill the STS. It's a tough thing to balance and I hope the next DTS/STS is substantially better than the '08 CTS so that Cadillac's product cycles have some logic. To me that logic would mean introducing the big leaps forward in the DTS/STS makeovers, and then having a trickle-down effect to the CTS and possibly to a smaller BTS, while also spreading innovation to other brands. It's having Cadillac as the pacesetter for GM and Cadillac's flagship as the pacesetter for Cadillac.

I know, but we're talking US market here. There are no Pontiacs for sale in the Middle East, so there's no confusion between Chevy and Pontiac styling. In the US there would be confusion as the front end is the same as the G8.
