ZL-1

The BLS has a 1.9L diesel engine.

I thought GM was in the business of building cars and trucks, not in the business of complaining who's in Congress or the White House...

Having a full line of diesel engines and remebering that a CTS will never compete against a 3-series here would wonders for Cadillac European sales.

Wouldn't the Impala make more sense as a LWB model? SWB wouldn't be much different from the new Malibu size-wise, would it?

VW Touareg

If that's true, then

Maserati Quattroporte

I was going to write "J-Body, GM", but something more tasteful is apropriate, so here it goes: Jaguar XK8

:rotflmao: that's the ugliest car I've ever seen

You seem very upbeat about this. Is it THAT good?

NG Aura?

confusion

Not necessarily.Think of this as two separate projects: 'Project Viper' and 'Project Firepower'. 'Project Viper' will likely benefit from economies of scale/scope from undertaking 'Project Firepower'. However, if 'Project Firepower' isn't profitable (my guess was insufficient demand, but it could be for any other reason), it may be that whatever negative NPV this 'Project Firepower' generates offsets the positive NPV generated by the economies of scale/scope in 'Project Viper'.

Citroën C6 (one of the ugliest cars ever, IMO)

Lack of demand? I don't think Corvette buyers would trade in their cars for the Firepower, and I wouldn't see buyers of more 'exotic' cars trading in for a Chrysler either.

Tasteful. But looking at the "NOPI Nationals 2006 Coverage Part I: Swimsuit Finals" at http://www.speedsportlife.com/2006/09/25/2...imsuit-finals// I say screw you Magnum!

Volvo V50

Target

I'm willing to bet they'll try and price it a little higher than the 1st gen CTS: a little higher than the 3-series but not as high as the 5-series. I don't see GM taking such a chance without doing some serious STS makeover first.EDIT: I'm making this picture my new wallpaper
