Neat article.

Therein lies the extent of the market freefall of traditional, large passenger cars in Australia's domestic market, as buyers flock to smaller models and compact SUVs. But large passenger cars are all that Australia makes.

To be remedied with Alpha, Borger, unless some sinister, Mr. Burns-like person prevents Australia (and Pontiac) from having this platform that is perfect for both entities.

We had this talk already, I don't know why you keep forgetting that. Mr. Burns will prevail. Can you say no product? The key is to dry up all their product. Sinister laughing can be heard from GME and Cadillac! Muhahahahahahaha

Actually, I believe it was "Rutt Rohh Rorge". If you're going to inference a cartoon character, do it right.

Mr Burns should probably think twice before killing something that's long been part of Australian culture, unless he wants GM to accelerate its own demise in that continent and, eventually, GMNA.

Thanks for that tip, English is not my 1st language, I will make the necessary corrections! :AH-HA_wink:

Hmm, GME and Cadillac?

Two GM entities that will never be getting money from me.

Here, take my hand and we will enter the Cadillac dealership together!

No.

Quit trying to grab my hand.

Caddy just doesn't do it for me. I'm not into lux and gadgets, and I don't care for the styling.

The CTS makes my heart race, and so does what I've seen of the new Saab EPII vehicles coming in the near future. If I am still in the EU in 2010 I will get the Opel Insignia EPII. Unlike Americans, most Europeans stick with their national brands. The new Buick EPII is to die for, but you will see that soon enough, Buick is not my thang though. Anyhow in 2010 I will be either in a CTS, a 9 3, or and Insignia, as my personal car.

PCS, you mention the buick.... your GM connections aside, is the Buick EPII really a competitve vehicle? just curious... i cant wait to see it!

To each his own. I'm just not a Caddy kind of guy - I can appreciate them, but I don't lust after them. As for EPII, I have no personal interest in that platform.

It's making old men dance down the hall! Have you seen Bob Lutz dance? :AH-HA_wink:

[ocnblu]

Hey Smithers, vid link please. I want to see Bob Lutz dance.

[gm4life]

Sweet, I would like a white one.

I know the feeling. Although, I do have a thing for luxury, just more along the lines of BMW than Cadillac.
