:lol: I saw about a dozen of each in the Junkyard today... and about 2 a year on the roads here in N.E.

[Flybrian]

'06 Accord sedan. Pretty blue, but the near rear fascia makes it look so, so, so damn cheap and so, so, so damn crappy, more like a $15k car than a $25k.

[LosAngeles]

-ION Redline -Infiniti QX56 limo -another 06 Civic coupe (the surge begins)

[ocnblu]

Delorean! I was shocked. It was like going back to the future.

And a '79 Malibu sedan in great shape in that pukie pale green/medium pea green metallic two-tone paint scheme that seemingly took over GM that year.

[Northstar]

I saw a tan Fusion at the dealer about two weeks ago. It's still sitting there, and for good reason, the gap under the grill looks terrible, and the front looks much too upright and narrow, especially in tan.

[LosAngeles]

2 H1s and an early 70s lime green Satellite coupe.

Well, I got sick and tired of waiting for my dealer to get a G6 coupe, so I traveled the 20 miles to Dubois to their Pontiac dealer.

Yeah... they have a few. A white GTP and a silver GT. Looks much better in person. The stance of it is awesome. One of the best I've seen. The rear looks good. Not ideal, but good, none-the-less. The greenhouse is sleek. I mean, talk about a literally fast... back... I bet I could sit a glass on that rear window. The wheels are awesome as well. I love them... they're perfect. Finally, the interior... (other than the fact it had the auto :rolleyes: <_< ) it looked good. It is still growing on me, so I still don't quite like the center stack.

They also had a Bonneville GXP. I am sad to say that it was the first I've seen. Really, really sad... considering its not even made anymore. I could do without the fake carbon-fiber accents in the interior, but otherwise it looked great.

They had a new Torrent as well. You know... it's a real shame it doesn't have a better powertrain because it is sharp looking. Alot better than the Equinox, inside and out. It just pisses me off that the General still does crap like this...

Other than the dealer, I saw a few car carriers. One full of Tribecas and one full of Passats. Wow, the B9 is even uglier in person. The rear and especially the front are terrible. The side isn't bad if you direct your eyes away from each end... The Passat looks so much like a Lucerne fromt the side. Seriously... the only differences are that it has much better looking fascias than the Lucerne. Same.. with... the.... interior...? Hmm...

I think the G6 coupe looks worse in person. It is one of the few, if not only cars I would rather own the 4 door of. I hate that sloping rear deck. The rear is a big blob, it slopes, with no real definition. Infinity pulled that look off alot better with the G35.

[ocnblu]

I think the G6 GTP coupe is awesome with the polished wheels. Make mine Emerald Green with a 6 speed!

[Northstar]

Saw my first HHR on the road today. Purple, looked good. I've yet to see a G6 GTP coupe, but the G6 GT coupes look pretty good. Much better than the ugly Fusion at the Ford dealership next door.

[pow]

Saw my first Solstice on the road today. Apart from the hideous front license plate mount, it looked absolutely gorgeous in silver... much better than the MX-5, IMO.

[Cory Wolfe]

Well, well, well... my boredom has gotten the best of me again as I went dealer hopping, yet again. On my journy and at my destination, I happened to spot: -A 92-95 Grand Am SE sedan with a dent in the left rear quarter panel, a bunch of BAHS stickers on the rear windsheild, a GT front bumper, and best of all... a dead porcupine strapped to the hood. Ya gotta love Brookville!!! -Saturns and more Saturns. Everywhere I went... Saturns. I felt like it was the apocolipse. First, two second gen S-series sedans, one blue and one green. Second, an Ion sedan, bright blue. Third, a silver L-series sedan. Fouth, two second gen S-series coupes, one black with the third door and one beige without it. All were at dealers. Freaky. That's like the most Saturns I've ever seen... Really freaky, especially since the nearest Saturn dealer is somewhere near Pittsburgh, I think. Super freaky. -F-bodies. Three of them. A fourth gen V6 Firebird, fourth gen V6 Camaro, and a third gen IROC Camaro.

Saw a Ferrari 360 Spider two days ago on the way home from work., first Ferrari I've ever seen in my life. Driving through the richest part of town during my commute has its advantages, I've seen more XLRs in the past two months than I have since it went on sale. Actually I think I keep seeing the same black, blue and silver ones every day or so, but who's counting? :P Seen quite a few 06 Impy's and HHRs and a handful of C6 Vettes as well. Ummm...oh yeah! Saw a white R-class yesterday during a grocery run. I didn't pay attention to the tags, could have been dealer-owned as the Benz dealer was about a mile down the road from where I saw it. I DID see a CLS 55 AMG leaving the mall last weekend, NICE. Dealer tags, though. Not spotted ONE Cobalt SS/SC, but I also never see one at the closest dealer to me, so maybe they're in short supply? :( What else? Ah, a couple G6 coupes, looks good, but I still don't think the front matches the back very well. Saw a PINK Cadillac DTS Mary Kay car. If you think the DTS is ugly, wait until you see one of these pastel beauties cruising by. BLEGH! I think thats it...for now. :)

[prinzSD]

2 transports loaded with Vettes, Gtos and a couple of Solstice. I just about crap my opants and called up my 15 year old son to tell him. He loves all three cars as well. Damn, I need to get a life B)

[Cory Wolfe]

Oh... went dealer hoppin again, but more that later. Today I saw a84 Fiero for sale, baby. :P Black, stock, good condition. I also saw a Turbo Grand Prix. God it sounds awesome... :D

[LosAngeles]

Saw the first Fusion not on a dealer lot this week...black SEL....definitely slick with those wheels.

[bowtie_dude]

Saw another CLS 55 AMG...only with temp tags.

[bobo]

I also saw a CLS 55 AMG today. Also saw a carrier full of Benzes, but it was disabled on the bottom of a freeway off-ramp. Yesterday I saw a blond driving a silver C6. That color is not very flattering.

[mjdecker]

Saw one of these the other day..


A few H3's (White and Yellow) I have to admit I like it more than the H2.. now if they get the bigger engine in it sooner I'd like it more.

Drove past a Honda dealership and quickly gandared at the new civics (not worth a stop in my book) and the coupes didn't look too bad... I didn't notice any sedans since I was driving.

[Cory Wolfe]

I saw one of these:

[AAS]

Saw my first Z06 (in person) at my local Chevy dealer. I got there just on time, considering the car was already sold and about to be shipped to Oregon! Anyway... that car is sweet! :D I also saw a C6 with the paddle shifter.

[pow]

I saw two IS350s, one in silver and one in red. Looks pretty good, IMO.

[pow]

New white M5 (gorgeous car!) and black Quattroporte (also beautiful) with the optional wheels.

[ocnblu]

A black base model Beretta in good shape... with a red canvas fake convertible top. :blink: :puke:

[LosAngeles]

Quite a few to report: -silver Commander (it's quite slick in person) -black Lightning -silver CLS55 AMG with beautiful 20s and cross-drilled rotors, dropped tightly -cobalt blue 06 Civic sedan -AWD STS Northstar -yellow Triumph TR7 under a tarp -Silverado Crew Cab lifted way up in the air, with 16 shocks Among other stuff I forgot.

I was walking to class the other day and a guy in a silver '79 or '80 Trans Am mashed the gas pedal and purposely fishtailed around the corner since it had been raining. It was pretty cool. '06 Fusion on the road '06 Milan at the dealership Extremely rusty '72 Olds Ninety Eight '87 Grand National...I think it's the same one I keep seeing '06 Impala SS, black...looks better in person '79-'81 Mercury Capri Lots of Cobalts and G6s '06 Uplander fleet vehicle (Xerox) '79 Cutlass Supreme that had a blower on it Lots of third gen Camaros and Trans Ams

[LosAngeles]

Also: A Fairmont kinda hollowed out until it's a Ranchero sort of thing. I think I've seen this conversion before...and it had that Mustang hood scoop on it. This same parking lot where I was eating at had Lincoln Town Car L's, with both the old (at the B-pillar) and new (at the rear quarter window) extended doors. LBNL, last night, I saw a late 70s LeBaron (the version that looks like a Volare/Aspen)

[Bimmer325]

Saw a blue Z06 Thursday night. Beautiful.
