Supply, Demand, and Speculation: This is the Nü-Economics of Capitalism.

Not surprising, really, considering that the mission of the Chevelle series was to offer a car that was similar in price and size to the '55 - '57 Chevrolets (Bel Air, Del Ray, etc.) that grew considerably in size, inflated in price, and gained luxury features over the years after their introduction and after the introduction of the 1958 Impala. The 1970 - 1972 Chevelle, however, will always be the definition of the nameplate to me as well as being the clear zenith of the mid-sized/intermediate Chevrolet model. The 1964 - 1965 model Chevelle was sharp, though. I wish you luck, Camino.

I did not bet any money, but I thought correctly when I said that Big Brown would at least win at Churchill Downs.

I would actually love to see something like this happen the last year of Cobalt production if it is any at all possible. The way to an American's heart is his wallet, after all. :AH-HA_wink:

In my defense, I would not make a statement here if I did not hear it from reputable sources first. However, I deleted my post so that there would not be any off-topic deviation between myself and any other members.

Don't forget the 2.0L turbo four beneath that model. :AH-HA_wink:

It is a shame that it isn't GM, though. I have heard that this could come in sedan and coupe form, just like the Skyline.

The next future stockholder meeting could be quite interesting then.

Like the Spring Hill, TN plant? Of course. Something should be done with those plants. There has to be a way to detach the UAW from them (and going by what knowledge I have of the UAW, that will take a wing and a prayer) so that they can be sold to whatever company that wants them and so more employment will return to the U.S.

Interesting, because I have always had a similar opinion to yours regarding trucks and so on. I have always felt Americans flocked to pickups and SUVs because they encompassed the characteristics that the first oil crisis, the EPA, etc., etc. sucked out of cars, the characteristics Americans used to traditionally expect from their American-made cars. This is a question that I have long asked myself, "Why doesn't GM sell a few closed plants to recoup some financial losses?" It is an option that should be on the table, if not enacted upon.

No, nothing like that. I believe GM needs an extremely arrogant and truly hard-headed investor, that's all.

Yes, buy the R8 by all means. The sticker price on the one I had a chance to look around was $120,000, although I think it suffered from dealer mark-up. Still a hell of a bargain if you ask me, considering what all you get.

It would more than likely use the R32's AWD system.

I have seen an Audi R8 in person and it was God.

I have long said that GM needs a compact pickup of true design, quality, and value.

I am buying GM stock at the end of the summer. I hope that it actually continues to decline until then. The cheaper it is, the more I can buy. The more I can buy, the more "say" I can have, after all, GM must listen to their shareholders (if not now, then eventually, under whatever circumstance). ... Oops! I believe I have said too much! It's about the investment as much as it is about getting to further enrich my understanding, so to speak. :AH-HA_wink:

Porsche developing its own Golf-based entry model? Small, fun to drive, possibly inexpensive ... what's not to love? Link to original Article @ Autoblog Porsche-Golf? Small, inexpensive Porsche model to debut in 2012? Link to original Article @ Motive Mag Forums You know, I believe this car has been a long-time coming from Porsche. I remember reading rumors back in 2003 in an issue of Road & Track that described this very car and the article in that magazine had a very similar rendering to the last one pictured, especially the DLO. Interesting ...

"General Motors plans to purchase Cobasys outright" Shortly after reports of leaky batteries coming from Cobasys, which greatly slowed the production of GM's mild hybrid vehicles, such as the Saturn Vue and Aura hybrids and Chevy Malibu hybrid, comes a report from Automotive News which suggests that General Motors may just purchase the troubled battery maker outright. That's one way to manage the problem, wouldn't you say? Though GM would own 100-percent of Cobasys, some sort of partnership is said to be in the works, though that other entity remains unknown. Before this announcement, Chevron and Energy Conversion Devices, co-owners of the battery supplier, had been fighting over ownership of the company. What effect this news may have on GM's future hybrid plans remains unknown. Currently, Cobasys supplies nickel metal hydride batteries to the General. The upcoming Chevy Volt will use the newer lithium ion batteries. Still, General Motors recently showed off a new version of its mild hybrid technology, and therefore may have extended plans for future batteries from Cobasys. Sourced from AutoBlog: Link
