That could very well be the case. I do recall reading yesterday that many gas stations in Tennessee are running quite low on what supply of gasoline they do have. Perhaps this has something to do with it?

$9.27? There is no way that's right.

A gorgeous coupe. Congratulations.

In Hell, you have a choice of what you want to drive: a Prius, or this. I'll drive the Prius.

I guess no one here has listened to Steve Vai's Sex & Religion album, Strapping Young Lad, or Devin Townsend Band? Or know of the Skullet, at least? Well, I guess I'll just move on then ...

GM small car design has made some decent improvements, in my opinion.

Devin Townsend f@#king owns, though.

The world fails to care.

I'd rather have this: http://boston.craigslist.org/nos/cto/833182934.html

As others have said, compared to other hybrids, this is a quite handsome design. Next to the concept, welllll ...

Again, "base on" not "blatantly copy." The relationship would be the same that you see between the 1969 Camaro and 2010 Camaro. And Chrysler Corp. would never design a 300C like a Charger. Way to make a "WTF?" statement there.

I said "base on" not "blatantly copy." Big difference there. The Chronos' design was influenced by this concept car from 1953, the D'Elegance. In reality, you can trace some of the roots of the LX 300C design language to that car, then the Chronos, then another concept car that directly followed the Chronos and was much closer to the final LX 300C production car (although photos elude me at this time, that prototype is at the Chrysler museum I believe; perhaps that prototype was the other car you were thinking of?).

If this pans out I will NEVER buy another new GM car after the F5 Camaro. I can only hope that perhaps one of the GM executives, or what have you, who lurk around these forums and have read what I have just wrote and actually care enough about each individual customer to make sure that GM builds something for everyone, and not just Ma and Pa Kettle who have bought Toyota Camry after Toyota Camry year after year after year. And if that said GM executive couldn't give a rat's ass, I'll wish him happiness as he stands out in the unemployment line.

From an article over at Allpar: The whole article, centered around the development of the second-generation Neon and PT Cruiser, went further than that into how and why Daimler was allowed to desecrate Chrysler. Going further ... More here: http://www.allpar.com/neon/engineering.html

I think the 300C should base its reskin on this:

Let's get down to it: Chevrolet Beat/Groove: three-door (Beat) and five-door (Groove) replacements for the Chevrolet Aveo based on Gamma II. Cruze: Delta II-based with a coupe bodystyle added to the recently revealed sedan. Malibu: Epsilon II-based sedan. (Coupe on SWB EP-II?) Camaro: Alpha-based 2+2 sports coupe. Corvette: becomes lighter, more efficient. Trax: Gamma II-based crossover SUV. "Blazer:" Delta II-based crossover SUV; replaces HHR. Equinox: Theta II-based crossover SUV. Traverse: Lambda II-based crossover SUV (rename Tahoe?). Suburban: receives a moderate mid-cycle enhancement, Tahoe dropped (rename Traverse to Tahoe?). Silverado: receives a moderate mid-cycle enhancement. Colorado: Total redesign. Buick Regal: Delta II-based sedan. Riviera: SWB Epsilon II coupe. Invicta: LWB Epsilion II sedan. Enclave: uses a short-wheelbase Lambda-II platform and only seats five. Pontiac Tempest: Alpha-based coupe and sedan. (Redesigned Holden Torana.) Grand Prix: as Holden re-engineers the Commodore to be more fuel-efficient and lighter, the G8 will simultaneously receive the same updates; it will also transform from its current incarnation of G8 into a brand-new Grand Prix (or Bonneville) with its own specific exterior and interior. Solstice: Kappa II-based roadster and targa-top coupe. GMC Sierra: receives a moderate mid-cycle enhancement, which further differentiates it from it's more "work-oriented" Chevrolet cousin into a more user-friendly, but still capable, pickup. Yukon: the Yukon XL takes the regular Yukon name as it is phased out in favor for the Lambda II-based Acadia; receives a moderate mid-cycle enhancement to further differentiate it from the Suburban. Acadia: Lambda II-based, seven seat crossover SUV that is a further evolution of the current generation model, replaces current standard Yukon. Terrain: Theta II-based crossover SUV. Saab 9-3: Delta II-based three and five-door premium compact car. 9-5: Epsilon II-based sedan and wagon. Cadillac BTS: Alpha-based sedan, wagon, and coupe. CTS: in it's next-generation, it will use a premium version of the redeveloped Global RWD architecture (Holden Commodore) and will have coupe, sedan, and wagon versions. DTS: uses a long-wheelbase version of the premium GRWD architecture and will be positioned as the flagship Cadillac with standard premium smallblock V8 power. SRX: Alpha-based crossover. Escalade: CTS-based, seven-seat crossover. XLR: becomes lighter, faster, more efficient. SaturnSaturn dies and is replaced with Opel. Opel inherits Saturn's independent dealer network and expands it with more stores in additional key locations, but not so many as to have excess dealers. All Opel models come to North America.

Die.

I am a big fan of the Metal Gear Solid franchise and their online counterparts.

It's a little more, but I really want this one: http://greensboro.craigslist.org/cto/811783783.html

I actually remember those old ads from the vast amounts of Car & Driver magazines I read as a kid (yes, in 1997). I should try and dig up an ad for the first-generation GMC Yukon Denali if I can get around to it. I remember the ad clearly: the then new Denali was parked out in a field next to a vintage GMC firetruck. Quite a cool ad if I must say so myself.

And indeed that is probably the name GM will use. I'm just trying to make a point, though, that Invicta really is the better name for this car.

I personally feel that the LaCrosse name should be dropped for at least the North American market so that the car can have a unified name in both the United States and Canada. Plus, the LaCrosse name was tarnished upon its debut in Canada due to its rather perverted connotations. The LaCrosse name does have baggage and it would be nice to work away from it.
