I recently rode in a Buick LeSabre taxi. It was the previous generation. I had forgotten how pleasurable a Buick was, with it's quiet, serene ride. And yesterday in a bright mid-day sun, a vision in pearl effect white, a new Buick Lucerne...it was a stunner. Really the first time this car really stood out for me. It finally said 'Buick' to me.

They saw the light. The earlier tailights were bloated. This is actually a good looking car now.

I'd buy a Jeep Wrangler pickup in a heartbeat. It has that rugged look that pickups used to have. Here's one from the past:
-
Toyota styling really is so stereotypically Japanese. And they seem to be going further than ever in that direction. It's never appealed to me, except for the mini Challenger clone, the first Celica.
-
I really like the word 'perplexed'.
-
Horrific.

Saw a new Aston Martin Vantage fly by on the freeway. It has such presence that even in the corner of my eye as it approached, I knew it was something special. There are no adjectives accurate enough to describe it.

Buick Excelle for N.America? I hope that is just some scary, horrifying rumor. At times, I have to question why I like Buick. That affection is really based on it's distant past. The Buick of today is so far removed from what it once was that it's not even recognizable. Everytime I see a mediocre Lucerne or LaCrosse/Allure, or the hideous Rendezvous, the insipid Terraza, the who cares Rainier, I just cringe.

Honestly I don't know how they could improve the new GMC Sierra. Everyday I walk by a black crewcab Sierra Denali....perfection. I have to have one of those. Didn't know the Canyon was selling so poorly. That is a surprise.
-
I'm so surprised that the SRX is experiencing poor sales. You wouldn't know it here, they are a common sight on the road.

The current coupe is the only Asian car I've ever liked. And I like this one too. Hugely popluar in my city. Amazed how many I see everyday.
-
I was just thinking that bobo. They don't look as good in lighter colors. And one of the reasons is, they have the inside of the fender wells painted same color of the truck...looks very cheap. Dark colors don't show up so much in this area.
-
Exactly, glad you stood your ground. I worry, that the extended cab may fade away one day. I still like how they look. I always liked the look of those Business Coupes from the 30s and 40s....extended cabs remind me of those.
-
I definitely have to take that in. There's an appeal to seeing these vehicles in their original state. I understand Reynolds Museum has a huge collection that the public never sees.
-
Bud!...congratulations!!! Beautiful truck. Very nice. It's refreshing to see an extended cab version, don't see many around, everyone seems to be getting the 4-door version. I luv these new GM trucks.

The genius of The Simpsons never ended. Each episode is fresh and funny. I can't wait to see this movie. The creator of 'The Family Guy' has been mulling over whether to do a full length movie. I hope so.
-
Thanks Ninety Eight, a great idea. I got to thinking, my ultimate vacation would be a road trip travelling to as many automobile museums as I could. I have to do that one day.
-
Very cool, yes. In fact there is a viewing lounge and you can watch them restore the Nomad and other cars and trucks, they often have many projects on the go. Facinating stuff. It's like I'm in heaven when I checkout places like this, celebrating car culture. They have a great automotive/machinery library and giftstore as well....it makes for a perfect day.
-
Hey thanks bud, for that warm regard...nice to be here. Ninety Eight, tell us about being a member of the museum. Sounds like a good idea, giving that support.

A gem of a transportation museum in Wetaskwin, Alberta, Canada, not far from Edmonton. It's very interactive, with streetscapes, drive-in theaters, avaiation museum on site etc. http://www.machinemuseum.net/index.htm

Here is a totally awesome Chevrolet, it folds! I hope my Chevrolet fits in my Z06.

I really like this bike, the Cadillac engineers were so thoughtful. With the lower bar, I can wear a skirt or dress when cruising. Thanks for your bike, Carbiz. Here's more nifty bikes from Cadillac: http://www.cadillacbicycles.com/ca_index.html
