Let GM Die - from your friends at Yahoo!
I've got a memo for this Sarah Lacy: "Ms. Sarah Lacy, what you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

A Couple of Opels
I've always been a big fan of the Manta, even to the point where I would buy one to restore. I think the qualities it presents as a classic car are compelling: Of course, I like the GT as well, but so does everyone else.

Wanna buy a Packard, or rather the Packard?
This reminds me, a 1949 Packard sedan has been put up for sale in my area. I think it would be cool to see a private American investor buy the rights to the Packard and Studebaker names and relaunch an aggressively competitive American alternative to the Big Three and Japan Inc.

If you could fix the chief problem Big 3 cars had
I think it was Car and Driver who once described the interior of a 2002 Silverado as being "drab as a coal bin."

I wouldn't walk within one foot of an Aveo with that sticker price, let alone any Aveo at all.

Insignia will come to U.S. as a Saturn, with new sheetmetal, interior
A real waste of R&D money. Bring the Insignia over to the North American market intact as an Opel and sell it through Saturn dealers as that brand is phased out and replaced with Opel. Opel can also later be sold through Pontiac-GMC dealers if the Buick brand is sold alongside Cadillac and Saab.

If you could fix the chief problem Big 3 cars had
Thinking about it, I believe the worst tactical error the North American automakers have made in the past three decades were neglecting passenger cars for SUVs and trucks. Looking at the big picture, I can see that one error being a sort of "root of all evil" here. Because the major effort was being put forth with trucks and SUVs that continued to offer Americans the attributes they long associated with their cars before government regulation and oil shortages stepped in and somewhat sterilized them, passenger cars suffered that much more. And when the Japanese competition finally surpassed the Big Three in building a better car, GM, Ford, and Chrysler were left to play catch up. This subsequently led to billions of R&D dollars being spent to "reverse-engineer" Camrys, Civics, Corollas, and Accords. And that money would ultimately be wasted because not GM, nor Ford, nor Chrysler had the foresight to think two steps beyond what they had learned from their exercises in reverse engineering those cars, meaning that whenever GM, for example, would debut a new product, it was already dated in comparison to the new Honda product that debuted that year or the year prior.

What Decade of Music Do You Like?
A long time ago, my musical tastes were stuck in the early 1990s, with the Grunge movement. Although I still like a few bands from that era, I have branched out quite a lot with various acts from different eras.

The Camaro Team wants to know
Followed that specific link the first two times and just now, still nothing. Did the survey have a specific span of time to be up?

I've done every bit of the survey on that site, didn't see anything about a specific Camaro one.

The Camaro Team wants to know
The first two cars they recommended me after I completed the survey were the Mustang (first place) and then the Challenger (second place). I am a Pony Car kind of guy. :AH-HA_wink:

Diamonds In The Rough
Trust me, if I got one, I would make sure it was in proper running condition. If there were any repairs, I would make sure that they were within my own reach to repair personally.

Diamonds In The Rough
I have seriously been thinking about selling my Sonoma for one of these. I'm tired of a truck and I really need a car; I'm tired of waiting on the Camaro.
