I hugged a tree once but I also am responsible for a small hole in the Ozone layer over New England becasue of how rich my Camaro runs.

Ummm... I'm pretty sure there is a 0,007. :wink:

The Echo, xB, xA, Element & Civic base all share this honor. Esp. the xB. Seems like 80% of them are owned by female members of AARP.

Roadmonster woujld have been a great name. A hardtop coupe & convertible Riviera would be great.

Congrats buddy!

A very cool emblem off of a Monza Spyder.

Wow... depending on the exact situation I might forgive & forget quickly IF the apology was sincere, to pretty much cutting the person out of my life completely. I think the answer you're looking for lies somewhere between those two extremes. Sorry to hear that though, I hate awkward social situations like that. You say table for 4 and eat by alone.

Why not.... it's just a corny Avatar, no specific polotical message is implied. Buy Brad's Mr. Death Cadillac.... free keychain from the Funeral Home it was employed at if you buy if for $700. It says: Any day above the ground is a GOOD day. 1970 Cadillac Coupe DeVille parts car for sale: $700 or best offer!

That was funny, I almost forgot about that. Lutz had balls, I like that!

So very cool. This car has seen more exposure in just 5 months than most concepts do in a decade.

Yes, a lot of weight savings but also, more importantly an under rated big block that made over 500 horsepower. The Mopar boys employed not only aluminum feders/doors/bumpers but also acid dipping of the unibody which ate away the metal and therefore lightened the car significantly. Maybe someone here knows all the 411 on the Z-11s. I think there was some other weight savings measures taken as well, I know they were all equiped with 4-speed T10 trans.

I of the opinion that a new Pontiac lineup with 80% RWD and 20% rear-biased AWD would be EXACTLY what's in order to revive the brand.

Dude, it's YOUR article, it's YOUR premise, the burden of proof/substantiation is on you. You give US facts that back up your claim, not the other way around.

We're lucky enough to live about 1/8th of a mile from the best local pizza around. It's called PIZZA PIZZAZ and we're pretty much putting their kids through college. My favorite is Black Olive & Garlic Pizza from there... I came up with that combo about 2 years ago and it's been my favorite ever since.

This is bland and stuck in 1998 but it's a LOT better than the Element & Ridgeline... unless Toyota redesigns the ECHO the Ridgeline will be the reigning king of UGLY & DEFORMED for many years to come! Since we're on the topic of Engrish.com.... MONORAIL (what's it called) MONORAIL (sing it again) MONORAIL - Homer "MONO-D'oh!"

That's the thing... some people are always saying FoG exagerates and is drinking GM KoolAid, where's the fountain of Nippon-Aid that all these journalists are drinking? This makes me want to demolition derby a Camry in this year's Holloween Howler Race.

Well, the irony is that I have the taste of a 110 year old guy but I'm only 27. I feel young but I don't feel like I belong in my generation. I wish I had been born in the late 40s with the rest of the baby boomer generation. Used V16 Cadillacs, COPO Camaros & '59 Buicks would have been a lot more attainable. If I end up buying the 1964 Oldsmobile I keep talking about then I will own a car whose original owner would be 110 years old if he were alive today. That being said a 1990s era Cosworth Escort is pretty darn new, not just by my standards.

Remember my thread where I posted a photo of a violet KIA and said how the deuchebag driving it cut me off real bad as if she was in a hurry and then slowed down almost as if to piss me off and nothing else? Well, recently me, XP & my buddy Kevin were talking about how Honda, VW & Toyota Camry/Avalon drivers tend to be morons in higher percentages than othetr brands. One day XP & I went on some roadtrip and got cut off like 7 times & 6 of them was by either a Camry, Avaon or some other Toyota. Well today I had to deal with three morons on the road, one was driving an Accord and was paying too much attention to the Yorkshire Terrier in his lap and kind fo forgettign to watch the road, the other guy was a d!ck in a green 95/96 Camry who apparently thought RED means GO and the third was a b1tch in a CRV who cut me off last minute and I had to swerve & jump on the breaks in the Q45. So mext time you're in the Westford, Mass area watch out for this dumb broad.

But the V8 RWD Impala/Caprice will be niche vehicles remember. :AH-HA_wink: Okay... I'm with you on that but why not a 740iL sized Bonneville? Okay.... good one FWD sedan for those so inclined but also a LS/M45 & an IS competitor: YES! S I X T E E N Keep Hummer for now... sell SAAB take the money & run!

Redundant :AH-HA_wink:

Who even cares about this? The only purpose this car will serve will be to keep syphoning away a few sales from the Camry & Accord, any true car nut or pretty much anyone with a sensible bone in their body will be lusting after the Zeta cars. :wink: This will eb the forgoten child between the Cobalt & Impala.

Ninety Eight makes an interesting argument... I think you're right about most Olds customers being lost to non-GM divisions. In any case I have no hate for the cars Oldsmobile turned out in their last decade of existance but I do think they told their core demographic to F*** off. No bench seats, no chrome grille & classic rocket logo, no full size land barge & worst of all no brand identity. As a kid I remember thinking the new Oldsmobiles were very cool and beleived the hype about the new products but now in retrospect it was a poor business decision to try to make a Lexus/Acura fighter out of Olds. Like I said even if they had kept one big & one mid sized model in the Olds lineup with the traditional styling and a more conservative approach to the interior the shift from the 1980s to the 2000s would have not been as drastic and disconcerting for thier traditional customers. The G-body Cutlass of the late 1980s (like the one that was supposed to be my first car) will always be one of the last proud moments in Oldsmobile's history. Those cars needed no excuse, they sold & sold like hotcakes. empowah: Now in 2006 you can have a Buick Aurora... but it's called the Buick Lucerne. Mechanically that's what you're getting.
