What is your next car purchase? revisited...
That 47 CJ speaks to me also. Satty: For what it's worth, after Nissan/Infiniti Suzuki is my favorite Japanese car manufacturer... maybe you remember when I mentioned it when I worked t the big Automotive group last year... they had Chevrolet & Cadillac where I worked & then across the street they had A Suzuki, Hyundai & Mitshubishi dealership. Their warranty and initial quality was impressive, I loved the Grand Viara, it's the LAST TRUE MINI-SUV still on the market... built like a mini Cherokee, THICK unibody "rails" resembling a truck frame, no "car based" pussifiation and you can even get a 5-speed manual. The SX4, while not my cup of tea is a FAR better value than the Civic/Corolla/Versa crapboxes.

Toy-DURRRRR!!!!
Anyone else think the current Sequoia's nose looks like a Chinese knock-off of the Dodge Ram...?

Picture demonstrating just how big the Challenger is...
A fish eye lens is certainly a part of the illusion here... Also, the Fit and Smart in the photo "distort" things a bit.

2010 Lincoln MKZ
NO I WILL NOT STFU about the inferiority of FWD. Just 'cause "everyone is doin' it" does not mean it's right. More and more it looks like there's Sigma-Cadillacs, BMWs & Mercedes in my wife's future garage. We'll keep buying RWD/RB-AWD, and if three decades from now that means having to step up to a used, 15y.o. S-class Mercedes 'cause every single domstic is FWD, including the Corvette then so be it. --- Now as far a the "Bustleback" theory how sad that styling hs gotten that lame.... a goofy 4" cut line on the bumper cover makes us look for a bustleback connection. It's like Balthazar wrote in the other thread about modern car styling sucking! The proportions of this Lincoln, the front overhang specifically leaves me dry heaving.

What modern car was GM most disappointed in, Sales wise?
It's the dumb American public that FAILED the Holden-GTO.... not vice versa.

Chainless Bikes
As much as I hate rubber timing belts used to drive metal components like the heavy valvetrain on V6 DOHC motors... this seems like a good use for a "belt" esp. if carbon fibre. Human power coupled with a belt is okay... but no one in the history of cars has ever gotten their shoelaces stuck in the timing chain of an SBC 350.

What modern car was GM most disappointed in, Sales wise?
no matter what their fate is in the history books... the G8 and Monaro-GTO will almost certainly see a spot in my future garage, I just wish I could have bought one of each NEW, not cause I like new car smell but because it would have been a new vehicle sale for GM.... and a vote for RWD-6-spd-manuals!

Vista Cruiser & Camaro

2010 Porsche Boxster and Cayman
lame.... never liked the boxter. Actually I've never been a huge fan of Porsche since they eliminated the air-cooled F6.
-
ZR1, GSX & Nomad
I don't have any of the three yet. That GSX is to die for!!! Saturn yellow. (not to be confused with Saturn the blood sucking GM leech)

2009 Nissan Cube
What kind of an ignoramus uses the word "fashion" to describe this beveled-square pile of $h!? Amen brother, you're preaching to the converted.

2009 COTY and TOTY Contenders Announced
Hudson: You'd really pick the Flex over the CTS-V???? The Flex is gross... looks like it was designed by someone who could only draw 90* angles. It's like a Scion xB that got elephantiasis.

The global warming scam unravels
Can someone just push Al Gore off a cliff and into obscurity already? Let's get it over with... honestly. I'm sure a few leftist pu$%ies & anti-gun-Nazis would cry but most of us would be happy if the world forgot all about him and he live out his life in obscurity & died as the pathetic, loser hypocrite that he is.

Chinese to Buy GM, Chrysler
Even as a dumb kid back in high-school, ('93-'97) already a self-proclaimed Republican, I was very much disgusted with the idea of what we call "FREE" trade and an open market.

2010 Mercury Milan
The proportions/profile are still disgusting ....FWD-gasmic. The fascia is a HUGE improvement though... from head on it's actaully handsome.

another one bites the dust...
My backup plan is to hit up every sperm/blood/tissue donor bank in New England... twice a week.

2009 Nissan 370Z
The quirky "boomerang" style headlight/tailight design language works much better here than in the Maxima, and I like the move, subtleas it may be to the Datsun 240Z retro-esque styling. One gripe: That glued in rear-side window... its a decent size from the outside but the actual GLASS area is the size of a Bolivian Air Mail postage stamp.
