I have my grandmother's old Electrolux tube shaped vaccum...all metal, it still works well. A classic.

And the dreaded red X.....it's everywhere on this site. Never see this anywhere else on the internet.

Hands down, it's the Montana, Terazza, Relay and Uplander. I feel these are an embarassment to GM. I dislike them in everyway.

I think the most glaring missing vehicle in GM's lineup is a large rwd Buick, and I like the idea of calling it the Electra like someone earlier suggested.

What vehicle should General Motors have that they aren't producing now?

Which General Motors vehicle would you discontinue and not replace?

The 9-3 has fantastic interiors, especially in the cream colored leather. This has the slate grey.

Most British auto magazines are worth nothing more than toilet paper. This video is filled with smartass remarks not based on sound analysis. It often smacks of anti-American in their approach to American cars. They are pompous morons, still smarting over losing the empire. Facinating coming from a people that virtually has no domestically owned auto industry left and when it existed produced utter crap.

I don't personally like the G6's fastback profile. It has odd proportions.

Yes, the were added on them in later years.

The Mustang II sold so well, because the 'Mustang' name was so powerful and so ingrained in people's minds, they could have named a wheelbarrow Mustang II and it would have sold. The downsizing was not so much the issue because it had gotten bloated in the previous generation. The issue was it's ungainly looks and the 4 cyl engine. Yes it was victim of those regulated huge bumpers...that didn't help.

I'm glad Buick is using them again. They are so iconic....they are always associated with Buick. Too often car makers throw away established design signatures to the detriment of the brand. There is a certain comfort, identifying with the car when these cues are in place.

I have always liked the side crease where it bumps up over the rear wheel....it's become such a Challenger cue.

Frightening isn't it?

Totally agree.....there is nothing wrong anywhere about this vehicle.....they hit this baby outta the park. I almost gasped when I first saw it. I couldn't believe, Buick actually came through on this. Millions of lightyears ahead of the horrible trio, Rendezvous/Ranier/Terazza.

EXACTLY!!!....I could not have said it better.

Cadillac needs an F-U car like this....something that seems unattainable, elusive, other worldly....

A very nice crossover. If only all Buicks looked as good. It's hard to believe this from General Motors after years of mediocre designs.

December 23, 2005] Geely say they can beat Bricklin to U.S. market (Chicago Tribune (KRT)) Will Malcolm Bricklin be the first to market Chinese-built cars in the United States? Bricklin hopes to start importing Chinese vehicles into the United States in the summer of 2007, six months later than planned. Whether he meets that revised deadline or not, the folks from Geely (Gee-lee) say they will be the first Chinese automaker to exhibit a car at a North American auto show when they trot out the 7151 CK in Detroit in January. The feat, however, should carry an asterisk ((ASTERISK)) because the 7151 CK will be displayed only to the media during the Jan. 8-10 preview and not when the show opens to the public Jan. 14-22, said John Harmer, vice president of Geely-USA Inc., of Salt Lake City, which will import the cars from China. "We'll be in Detroit simply to introduce the car to the media and let them know who we are and that we are serious and committed to bringing the Geely car to the American market," Harmer said. The car, which lacks a name for North America (it won't be 7151 CK), will be a 4-cylinder, four-door mini with a target price of less than $10,000. No volume estimates as yet, Harmer said. The vehicle also will not be the exact one Geely hopes to sell here. "The 7151 CK is the third generation of the car and by the time we bring it to the U.S. it will be the fifth generation, so we'll be two generations beyond this," Harmer said. "Our present strategy is to have a vehicle in 18 months that will be able to enter the U.S. in compliance with all safety and emissions standards. We have our engineers working on that now and have 10 cars undergoing testing in the U.S." Unlike Bricklin, who is trying to set up 200 dealerships in the United States to market a $19,000 sedan produced by Chery Automobile in China, Harmer said they will be sold only in one dealership in Puerto Rico initially. That's so the cars can be brought back to the dealer once a month for inspection and testing to ensure everything is working properly. "It would be six to eight months after we open the dealership in Puerto Rico that we'd start to solicit dealers in the U.S. That would put the car in the U.S. in 2008," he said. If Bricklin can bring his plans to reality, he'd beat Geely to market. "If he beats us, that's up to him. We aren't going to be distracted by any sophomoric competition," Harmer said. Speaking of distractions, Geely markets a sports car in China that comes with a built-in karaoke machine. If Geely is the first to export Chinese cars to the United States, it would be remarkable, considering it was building refrigerators and motorcycle parts in the mid-1980s. Geely didn't get into cars until 1996, when it bought a failing Chinese minivan maker. Actually, it's not so important who is first, as it is who offers the best cars first, because that's the one who will last the longest.

Depending on the photo and/or color.....it's more angular than it at first suggested. Still very nice.

I was just teasing....every city has those run down areas...

This hybrid is marginally better than the standard 4 and at a higher price. Just pointless this whole hybrid thing....just to appease the silly tree huggers and warped perceptions of hybrids of the competition....GM is forced into this nonsense.

Where is that?....looks like a war zone. The car looks great.

I think Saturn will be around for awhile longer. But they have one last kick at the can with the Sky, Aura and Outlook.

It's hard to find good pics of the 9-3...here's a better one:
