First and foremost: - 1987 Buick Grand National (& more so the 547 almighty GNXs made by ASC/McL) - Corvette ZR1 (engineered in the 80s) - F-bodys... esp. Tunned Port 350s - 5.0 Mustangs - first gen. BMW M3

I guess the steering mechanism in these things was a hazard if the steel cables for worn/frayed.

Any star gazers out there? Julie LOVES staring at the stars. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20187093?GT1=10252

I'm sure the Torrent headlights, hood, fenders & an all new bumper cover will be 2009 restyle....

I've got a funny story related to this but not right now..... soon enough.

That was a great moment in history! As far as the Scion, you know where I stand.

Yeah... I do look very young, I got carded for the freekin lottery the other day but I'm actually 28 years old. Well, maybe noy mentally but I've been alive since April, 1979.

YES, YES & YES! Al Gore is a self serving hypocrite, he needs to go on a hunting trip with Vice Pres. Dick.

SAAB used to make interesting cars.... before I hit high school age.

Disgusting!!!! My family left communist eastern Europe ni the late 80s to escape the oppresion, economic strife & depressing red tape of the socialist way just to have my dad loose his job to a communist country that is now in some ways more dangerous than the USSR ever was. It is very depressing to see the USA whored out by its own people.

Another interesting Caddy professional car

I KNOW I saw a LaSalle once in a book with a V12 emblem... must have been a concept or one-off

Dude, that sux. I remember fondly when you have me demonstration ride in it back in 2005. The exhaust note, great handeling & GM cam-in-block power were awsome! But I guess all good things must come to an end.

The Lexus Es has always been a joke to me.... I call it the Toyota Camry for people who like to get screwed extra hard on their purchase price... it's a Camry with better leather seats and foglights so it MUST be worth an extra $8K.

1932 Plymouth Rumbleseat Coupe

Agreed.... Zero parts interchangability = not same family. Saying the LS motors are still the same family as the original 265 - 350 smallblocks is like saying that a 2008 Porsche 911 is in the same generation of Porsche cars as a 1964 Porsche 911 simply becasue on paper they're close. Mild Revolution, not Evolution.

XP715 speaks the truth. There's one particular 1959 Buick LeSabre hardtop 4dr that I still want to save someday....

BV: all I see is [X]

Moltar: Again, he PAYED $800 for the whole car.... it's a Lumina, not a late model G.Cherokee.

No offense but ythat seems really silly. Suzuki managed a transverse mounted I6 so I do not think there is ANY need to have a four cylinder in any other configuration other than flat-4 or inline-4. Why woudl you want a super-big four cylinder? 2.6 liters is already silly... Colorado & trucks aside. If anything I think a modern 215 that would allow for active fuel management and smooth power would make sense moreso than some awkward, BIG VR-4.

I'm pretty sure LaSalles were offered with a V12 too...

I agree with the peole who are saying that SAAB has managed to complately alienated its core customer while managing to find very few to replace them with anmd therefore it seems as if SAAB was in a position where they are now up trying to go upstream w/out a paddle, I'd scuttle that brand along with the Saturn name, rename Saturns Oldsmobiles & Buick-Opels!

uhhhh..., I'd like to meet reg's accountant. $800 is a "cheap repair"? most of the cars I buy (running/driving/title in hand) are about tht TOTAL!!!

Sorry Hudson but you HAVE been misinformed. I sell brand new GM product and have talked to three dozen people who would know, like GM reps. & engineers about the LS family of motors and the ONLY thing they share with the 1955-97 Smallblock Chevy motors is the 90* V-8 configuration, bore spacing & the basic idea that they are both (cam in block) pushrods. The LS was a clean sheet redesign, GM had almost a half century of experience to draw on BUT they didn't directly carry over any parts!
