    BMW could last minute change their mind, but for now, I think they will stick with tried and true I6 engine.

    I think the Buick even with the ugly chrome strips does have more style and it is a love it or hate it style. Personally, I think the mean rear look will strike an interest in a group of people here. Now will it be enough to sell in large profitable numbers? I take a wait and see approach.

    If you have both products coming, then the 5 door hatch to Chevy and a lux version of the station wagon to Buick. With that said, I just do not see the market for station wagons in the US. I can see the 5 door Hatch coming here as a Chevy, but I think the station wagon should and will stay in Europe. Buick does not need this model. IMLTHO

    I agree, just as Ferrari and Lambo tend to encase their engines in Glass to show off the Jewel of an Engine, this same Performance ride would make sense as a limited edition from Cadillac. Just like the limited Performance editions from BMW and MB usually out of their M and AMG divisions.

    H'mmmmmm Me getta some Corvette Love!!! Or is this a remake of Corvette Summer???

    You have this one nailed properly. The Ferrari kicking should come from Cadillac. I know there are people who talk about the Corvette as if it is the god of ultimate cheap but fast performance and it is for what you get in a ZR1, but we are beyond this and only Cadillac could attempt and deliver a true luxury performance auto. Chevy and Cadillac are two different markets.

    Do not totally blow off GM. The Coupe Concepts would not have been made if they did not believe there was a market for the car. I suspect we will see one.

    SWEET!!! YES PLEASE MAY I HAVE ANOTHER!!!

    Is it me or does the center stack cut into your gas leg room? The picture shows how it arc's into the space and I think for big guys over 6' tall this will pinch the leg room.

    Sure as long as it also shows up under the Suburban/Tahoe/Yukon/Yukon XL Hood!

    How about the 2.8L Duramax Diesel in a Cruze? This sucker would pull like crazy and return awesome gas mileage. Performance Diesel would ROCK!

    Ugh. This is where you need the Harbor Freight $99 MIG (sometimes on sale for $89)... that's about 6~7 extractor kits. I don't use the extractor kits anymore, as they almost ALWAYS break and make the problem worse. Using the MIG to build up bolts has been great... plus the high heat shrinks the threaded part, so many times they come out finger loose. Yeah, its plastic. First gens had a metal plenum but second gens have a plastic one. I'm thinking of using Krylon Fusion next time I paint it. That's a good idea, although in that case It would probably be difficult to get a MIG in there in a tight space that's surrounded my plastic and carpet though. That's the bolt I sheared. Thankfully it wasn't stuck in there or I would have had a real hell of a job getting it out. I hear Shearing and HELL go hand in hand!

    The problem with the recharge cans is that they contain oils and sealer... the R134A (or R12) will escape the system and leave the rest behind... and there is not a lot of volume in modern systems, anyway, so you can only top off a system a couple times before you really need to evacuate the whole system and start new. Thought I'd give it a try before going to the shop..never had any service on the A/C before, this is it's 13th summer..still cold, but not new-car cold.. Cubical I have used from O'Riely's their Nasa Space recharge can with adapter and it got both my 98 Dakota and Durango Ice Cold again. I am impressed and it saved me lots of money. A complete evac is the best way, but in todays economy, the can makes Financial Sense.

    I agree with Balthazar that the number would be closer to around 500 - 1000 a year at most. This would be an excellent Halo car for Cadillac. I see the point that DADO is making but I think the real Question is would this car compete with the Farrari, Lambo and Bugatti of the world or more a AMG / M6 competition or maybe in between both. I think this would allow GM to build an amazing mid engine sports car that would truly rival the world and help them move technology forward. BMW M series and AMG both are using engines that are high reving but still have big Torque numbers just like the V engine. I personally am not thrilled by the way Farrari and Lambo have these 600HP motors with 400 Ft Lbs of torque. I would take a AMG or M and best yet V engine over what they build. Yes GM needs to focus the money on building quality mass produced cars that sell and bring in money, but they also could start on a Halo Car. I think GM should Partner with BMW since they have their Carbon Fiber plant here in Mosses Lake Washington where they have poached Carbon Fiber enginers from Boeing to build parts for their cars. They have a Carbon Fiber Bucket for their performance Auto's. Do not see why they would not want to recover their R&D costs by building a bucket as a core for a GM Auto.

    WHY???? A dealership who sells lots of cars should get a better assortment of the new car than one who barely sold them. Because the Caliber is a pile and has been since it was introduced. I would feel differently if it were even halfway decent at the time of the Caliber's introduction. I know the caliber had corners cut, but still was a nice over all Entry level car in comparison to others out there. My point still stands, why should dealerships who can sell cars not get a better assortment in comparison to dealerships who do not put much effort into selling them.

    While many of you have found memories and want to stay with the past memories, THIS is a GOOD thing for GM and Buick. Remember, to grow our AMERICAN AUTO COMPANY, we need to give stepping stones which are clear steps up the auto ladder as people earn more. The VOLT is sexy in it's own way with tech people and as people get more comfy and aware of it, they will buy more. Chevy Needs to do more Drive Volt Shows so people can come to learn about the technology and drive it and compare it. The best thing one could do is have the Volts and Prius side by side and even include the ugly Nissan Leaf for comparison and let the chips fall. Buick and Cadillac will have a successful hit if they keep to their own design language. Buick could sell tens of thousands of these in China alone which will help reduce the cost for the rest of the world. Caddilac will end up being that special one people will strive for to outdue their neighbor.

    WOW This car Rocks! This is how you carry on an outstanding Design Language.
  18. G. David Felt
    This Totally ROCKS!!! GM Time to move forward with the Baby Duramax in the 1/2 ton Pickup and Full Size SUV Line. Let me spend money on a new suburban with a Diesel!!!
