The yonly missed it by three years. What the big deal? As much of a biased retard as I am I'd make a better automotive journalist than some of these fools. It takes about 0.03 seconds to find out the original Camaro intro date online. I honestly think some journalists are still not up to speed wiht the differance between CY/MY.

Yeah I'm with you... although I guess I see their point now that I found out the IS350 is automatic only... WTF Lexus?

Holy $h! Dodge is hogging a lot of sq/foot-age... VW get's the shaft and gfot stuck by the Escalador. HAHAHAHA!!! NOS: stop starving yourself.

This guy knows what's he's talking about. We've got the Camry/Solara/Avalon/Accord/Maxima wannabe with the Impala, Monet Carlo, Lacrosse & Grand Prix... I know they seem like good products but just STOP trying to beat the Japanese at their own game. Chryler figured it out why can't you GM? The way to get back a lot of sales is to build American cars for Americans. Make a plus-size Charger/300 competitor for all three midline divisions: Buick, Pontiac and of course Chevrolet. RWD full size interior & exterior looks that can be mistaken for nothing other than a American sedan/coupe claasic names form the glory days... no "CXR" or "GPS" call them Biscayne, Chevelle, LeSabre, Invicta, Regal, Bonneville, Grand Prix, Catalina or even... *gasp* Caprice Classic.

Raineer: Enlave is taking care of that Montana/Terraza: yeah that's a no brainer. DTS: absolutely.... we need a real Deville, RWD and more along the lines of the 1996 Fleetwood Monte Carlo: replace with Chevelle? or replace with a RWD car that would be a plus-size Camaro. My personal opinion for the vehicle that deserves to be axed the most with hope of return? Torrent. The excitememt divison does not need a freekin Equinox with a revised nose. Esp when Saturn already has a Equinox rebadge.

I'm less worried about $h!ty quality/looks/ergonomics/reliability (all valid points) and more pissed about the fact that 16 years after we bankrupt the Reds and broke the spine of communism in Russia we're supporting the wolrds biggest Socialist state by buying 85% of their GNP. Anyone who buys this POS should be ashamed of themselves. For Shame. My family came here to the USA in 1987 to escape communism, not to support their semi-capitalist ideals & hipocracy. :anrgy:

SAtty: Someone seemingly obsessed with sodomy and using the sigs & avatars you do should not be one to pass judgement on other people who supposedly act like Idiots. BTW: news flash Saturns are cramped & Solaras are ugly.

Cool idea but your Buick is supercharged not turbocharged so the logo does not make sense. I always thought of the logo as resresentative of the TURBO 3.8, but then again I'm kind of old school.

Agreed. The Enclave is the best concept of 2006 wiht the obvious exception of the Camaro. DAmn GM really cleaned house. Ford's Acid Reflux was gross and Chysler had a bunch of gross stuff... the koreans had tacky wannabe cars and the japanese had the usual mix of all of the above. But between the Enclave and Camaro GM really kicked ass IMHO.

XP715: Causing trounle again I see. :P :metal: Myershift: I'm not mister Masculine myself either... I can make a decent meal on & off the charcoal grille and my voice is ridiculous. I'm also a real lightweight... now 165 which is not bad but even in my ealry 20s I was 140-145lbs. Who cares though. I know I'm straight and that's all that matters. Same as I've met several Ubber-Alfa-Male guys who ahve been gay. I'm not goign to argue with someone and say they're not gay just because they're 6'4", have the shoulders of Redwood tree & sound like a Football player. Before College I was slightly homophobic. This was due to my dad constantly saying gays were leading an unnatrual lifestyle and other such conservative sillyness. I've grown beyond such 20th century ideals. Like XP however I do agree, I have always considered the whole gay/bi/traight thing to be black & white. Isn't "BI" enough of a gray area?

EVOK: Good points... I had no idea fo a Sigma coupe possibility altought it's only 4 years overdue. Cadillac needs a rear full size rear driver before anything IMHO but whatever. Now as far as differentiating a Camaro "sister car" I think there's a few solutions. - Have GTO go upscale. $40,000 with Northstar power and a 4.4L SC North* powered "Judge" in VERY limited numbers. - Make a Firebird with ALL new sheetmetal off but same mechanicals. Give it more of a 1970.5 Firechicken look and a usable hatchback. Incorporate AWD as an option on the Firebird (and possibly the Camaro too) and you have a great Audi competitor. But in any case two cars under two nameplates WILL sell more collectivelly than just one of either. It's a simple question of math. There's always a percentage of people who will NOT buy a car from one of the brands but will form the other. Some Pontiac guys will not get caught dead in a Chevy and there's Chevy guys that have Bowtie tatoos who will not buy a Pontiac because it's not their style.

Although I almost lost my virginity to a hot Canadian girl who was my first kiss when I was 12... I was 18 by the time it finally happened. Sweet. Congrats.

Evok: So, let me clarify waht you're saying: if the Camaro gets the go-ahead for production that makes the GTO obsolete? EVOK: "And if the Camaro does get the final go, which I expect, there is little point for the GTO." Last time I checked the GTO is a Pontiac and Camaro a Chevrolet. That's like saying wiht the Charger in production there is no point for the 300C.

Croc: Go take your meds and shut your mouth. I've asked you several times to just leave me the hell alone. Respect my wishes.

Balthazar: Wow... how about a chromed worm-n-gear car-jack from the 1930s? (inside joke) Happy Birthday Buddy. You're not 21 anymore but you're still one of the coolest guys on this forum! All the best. BTW: Sofia's birtday is the 12th of Jan. and Marcias is the 13th of Aug. So you're in good company. Here's wishing your WQ59B is finished by this time next year. B)

ummmm... XGT? asking the wrong guy, but some one on here will help you I'm sure.

I'm talking to a friend's brother today about cars and he's like "WTF is drifting?" So I explained the basics and said I'd emial him some cool video footage except I can't find too many good ones. I posted a great one on the old forum (pre-August-crash) it was off of BigBoys.com (now Break.com) but since our old Forum is inaccessible I'm wondering if you guys can post some good links in this thread. Here's a decent one: http://www.dumpalink.com/media/1132567542/..._Drifting_Video except it's all choppy and keeps "getting stuck" on my old POS machine. Thanks in advance.

Almost forgot: Durango with a Crown Vic grille...

once there was an M3 coupe... I know that's not the case but are we toi say the CTS-V does not compete wiht the M3 either since it's not a coupe? Everyone makes the comparison.

Yey! Support Communism.... it's the new American way.

a very lame attempt at replicating the Matrix/Vibe... who cares? I liked the SRT4 but this is just fugly. oh well, goodf thing I'm a fan or medium sized RWD Mopars.

BTW: I think it's time for taht Tatoo I keep talking about: PROPERTY OF:

For what it's worth, I said this exact same thing when the 300C hit the streets. If BMw has to buy out GM in order to save it like Mercedes saved Chrysler then so be it.

the more I look at this thign the more I want to puke... I've been a mopar fan as of late but this is just gross, the exterior is HORRIBLE. I think it's an insult to the original Aspen. J/K, ....no I'm not.

uh, you ARE kidding right???? From day one the IS-cars heve been designed to shaddow the 3-series. Since the IS350 is an expensive king-of-the-hill Sports Sedan from Toyota MOtor Corp. comparisons to the M3 are just about obvious. Comparing the Lexus IS350 to an M3 is unfair all of a sudden? But yet a Corvette Z06 vs. Viper Comparison is fair right? Perforamance talks and bull$h! walks. :AH-HA_wink:
