Well, they did offer the Allure as a forewarning of becoming alluring (not the best of jokes, I know, but it's late here...)

Disgusting

Do we have a farting one?

You mean that VM Motori had it under works (possibly with a 3rd, specific, tune for a Cadillac application).... And you will be able buy it (in Europe), in the Chrysler 300 / Lancia Thema

I'm going for the Astra GTC in 3 months or so,... If the 1.7CDTI (to be introduced in Frankfurt this September, AFAIK) is priced at more than 2400EUR over the 1.4T (price difference in portugal on the 5-door Astra) I'm going for the same powertrain you have in your Cruze. Enjoy the Cruze! Many happy miles with it!

Exactly. Glad someone gets the point beyond the (annoying) OHV-vs-DOHC chest beating that goes on in here sometimes. I don't think GM will move away from OHV designs any time soon, but I agree with smk in one regard. Whatever engine they put on the Cadillac, GM has to make it somehow unique even if it mostly on a marketing basis. Introduce the engines/upgrades in power, tech, whatever on Cadillacs first. Let the Chevrolets have a Cadillac engine, perception-wise, and not the other way around.

Oh, boy... Wonde ist it's here we go again with talks of Alga being ditched... Usually the argument for FIAT cutting a brand has been jumping from Alfa to Lancia and back to Alfa and back to Lancia... Now with Lancia paired with Chrysler, I don't know where that leaves Alfa... Pairing with Dodge?

Good stuff, but "still considering"... Man, I know that's me being impatient but this thing should be here now, ready to go straight after the A8, the 7-Series, and the S-Class...

Good stuff! And that graph is teh kewlest!!!

Saw a white one here in Spain today and after all these months it is still almost vomit-inducing to me...

VAG was able to do it with Audi, so why can't Ford do it with Lincoln? Or, rephrasing the question, why is Ford management so incompetent in your opinion?

Yes. Ram Dakota, Ram 1500, Ram 2500, Ram 3500, Ram Outdoorsman, Ram Laramie Longhorn (according to the Ram website)... Thanks. Ram Ram would be funny though... Ram Squared

So how did this work so far, naming-wise? Ram Dakota and the big one is the Ram Ram? Or the Ram 1500, for example?... =/

Yes and no, since SAAB was selling Epsilon 1 cars for close to or above 30K when they were released. It was more that GM had too many balls in the air to juggle and that someone thought that sending the CTS to Europe would instantly be a hit. I think that the procedure now is that the Union is collecting claims from workers. From then they will request payment from the company and if the company doesn't pay within 7 days they can request that SAAB be placed in bankruptcy procedures.

+ 1 billion Agreed on the eyebrows, too.
