For the 70's lover in us all, this is how a Monte Carlo should look! Yet for what I think is the best looking Monte Carlo ever, this is the car I hope to own some day in my own car collection! This is the full ad, sadly already sold, but will continue to look and dream till I can buy one some day. http://www.collectorcarads.com/Chevrolet-Monte-Carlo/34380 Did see a 1985 Black Monte Carlo SS this morning on the way into work. Needed some TLC, but over all was a solid project car, just hope the guy brings it back to it's glory.

WHY WHY WHY, THat is a freakin shame! Maybe the owner was a Barney the Dinosaur super fan... That is a good one I did not think about.

WHY WHY WHY, THat is a freakin shame!

Do we not call that Fraternity Row!

Names for this as a Buick: Buick Areo Buick Spry Buick Agile Buick Atomic Buick Bantam Buick Midge Buick Micro Buick Pint Buick Surge Buick Illume

Electra 225 would be very nice for this little hotty!

As a Chevy model or mid lux model for Buick, this would sell crazy here. I would buy one for my wife who wants some small american car like this for a school commuter now that she is back in college.

Awesome, congrats!

Yup this is the Corvette/XLR setup as far as I know.

Or due to the cash infusion, this could be a very alive quiet project being done that will shock everyone at the detroit auto show. Never know what might show up in your xmas sock this year!

Very cool car to give other high performance cars a run for their money and would for sure bring in new people to look at Volvo which hate to say is know around seattle as the safe family car or old person car. Boring car, the list is long and really only bland dull people drive them as I have heard from many people.

That is some freakin sweet Design language.

I think Colorado has something like that, but a buddy of mine in Denver nearly killed himself several times the first year after buying a Kawasaki Ninja a few years ago...he'd had previous experience w/ a 50cc bike back home in India, but the Ninja was a bit more of a handful.. My brother had several British bikes in the '60s-70s, took off about 20 years from riding after a couple bad accidents, but in the last 15 years has bought several older Yamahas and Hondas...rides the backroads of rural Ohio, seems to have a lot of fun doing it. I've never ridden a bike, but wouldn't mind trying one sometime..though I think I'd prefer a Boxster or other small open sports car. Having ridden and then given the choice of my wife and kids or my bike, I gladly gave up the bike to be around for the kids and wife. Bikes are great when your young and single, but as we age and get slower responses, I like more steel around me now.

BIG BIG BIG HUMONGUS MISTAKE!!!! If they go for trying to get the Z to a wider audience then they loose the special status the car has when people see them. HELLO McFLY, Anyone Home? NOT Every car needs to appeal to a larger audience. The Z sports car is special and needs to stay special, not appeal to a larger audience. How do you think it stays to appealing to the mass when a much smaller group is all that buys. Hello Anyone home?????

Here in washington state one is required to go to motorcycle school and get certified which shows up on your license before you can even take delivery of a bike. This helps to minimize morons who get a big bike and do not know how to ride.

I agree, something is missing in the story. Hopefully we will find out.

Sweet Site

Seems that BMW is bent on bringing their Chevy Versions to America. Be interesting to see how these water down cars affect their luxury image.

I think they have a fine design language, Hope they do not stray too far and get lost in the design language bogs. It will be good if they can get a true 35K car with 250 mile electric range. That will really force the big 3 to get more aggressive and change their portfolio of cars.

Such a bland car to look at, this tends to tell me it would be driven by someone who always pisses off the rest of us by getting in the left hand land and driving 10 under the posted speed limit. In your description of the 5 cyl engine, you say slow and then picks up. So it sounds like the 5 cyl in the Chevy and GMC small trucks. Those engines seem to be slow till you rev them. How would you compare it to other 5 cyl engines?

but can it handle a freeway cloverleaf at 70+mph? My Suburban can handle Cloverleafs at 80 with no body roll or tire squeal, course I did change out the suspension for a Kodiak 2.5 ton and with all the rest of the work to the power train, this is not your fathers suburban. I love it when my big o'l bad ass SUV can take the seattle cloverleaf on and off ramp better than a muttang or any other performance car for that matter.

POST PICTURES!!! We want to see the project car.

Lets take the Lower 48 Tucker car and put that sexy styling into cars today. That would be kick ass. I see no reason someone could not have this style on a car now.
