Good guess ted but the chrome trim on the rear window seems too squared off in comparisson to the puzzles. I'm going to guess Checker Marathon.

XP: Me in the Datsun armed with my NIKON... you in the Cutty with your digi & SP in his car (1981 Malibu perhaps) with a digi. SP and me decided last night on IM that we'll have fellow C&Gers assign point values. That way you will not talk us into giving 1000 points for a 1937 Packard.

2007 Cadillac STS Changes
Three more monochromatic colors. Way to go Caddy. I wonder if the 2007 camry comes in three shades of gray?

You Guys Are Going To Hate Me...
Wow... holy thick B-pillar GM1. BV: Just grow some balls, pull the damn trigger already and buy a Fiero. Sure your parents will be mad for a while but at least you'll be happy.

The Diesels are a-coming,
Wonder what the 2036 Car & Driver "Diesel Beater Scavenger Hunt" will look like? Saddly, you can bet almost anything there will not be a Oldsmobile or a RWD Maxima w/ an inline-6, oil burning or not.

Enlighten Me
Agreed... too bad they're auto only. My buddy Alex almost bought one back in the late 90s.... I was telling him to do it but he went wiht a used Blazer instead. XP: Speaking of the XT Coupe remember how the chick in BIG (Tom Hanks) drives one?

1997 to 2005 Park Avenues
All my cars have been "shes" even my first Fleetwood Brougham... it was a scummy beat up old d'Elegance wiht more rust than paint, I bought her for $200 and called her "Bertha".

Camaro Engine Lineup Speculation...
Either it's a stick with a clutch pedal or it's an auto. All the stuff in between is juts half assed junk. I don't need to get charged extra money to shift my automatic manually, I used to shift my 1994 Sunbird 3-speed wiht the corny T-bar shifter. Back when I was a dumb kid that seemed like a good way to pretend it was a stick... these days either give me a true manual or don't but do NOT coddle me like a freekin infant wiht some auto- stick B.S. As long as there is a TRUE, 3-pedal manual trans with an H-pattern shifter and a reverse lockout in every model & trim I will be happy regardless of what else is offered.

Spot the problem!!
The steering wheel is noticalbe to me immediately. It's very tacky to have it 3/4 upside down.

Has anyone made a flat 4 before?
To add to all of the info Balthazar mentioned there's one more huge benefit for flat or "boxer" engines: lower center of gravity. This is esp. beneficial to cars like the Porsche 911 & WRX. & BTW, as you've probably figured out, the VW/Porsche flat four (pancake motor) is also a "boxer". It's just 6 of one and half dozen of another. The legendary Porsche 917 had a flat (boxer) 12 cylinder motor, depending on the tuning & boost from the turbos they made huge horsepower... as much as 1100-1300. There's been a few other exotic boxer engines. The 80s Ferrari Testarossa was a great example of this.

1997 to 2005 Park Avenues
If the Park Ave. Ultra was RWD and V8 it would be one of my favorite cars of all time. I'm still bumed about the Lucerne replacing it. But if a 70+ year old guy can drop an Alero onto a S-10 frame with tunned port power than my idea of dropping a Park Ave.. body onto a B-body frame with an LS2/LS6 is not completely crazy.
