We'll Looks are in the eye of the beholder, I just find it sad that you have an engine producing all the Horsepower and such reduced Torque. Sorry but for all the fans of these OVC engines, I still do not see how the weight increase of over head cams benefit a traditional GM V8 that produces Torque equal to HP. After all you can have all the HP you want, but if you do not have the torque it is a waste. Diesels have proven that Torque is what wins the war and moves mass, not HP.

Is it me or does it need shocks in the rear, seems to be dragging it's butt. Over all nice clean car, I hope if it was meant to be it works out for you and goes your way. GoodLuck.

Interesting little number, I think there is a solid group of folks that will buy this.

Not bad, if it was AWD it would have potential as a fun Ski ride up the mountain. One thing about the Astro, GM should have grafted the mini stage coach doors with the big glass onto the Subrbans long ago.

Gm still has stupid people in mgmt positions that are still lemmings poising the company.

Thanks for this very cool insight. Question for you and everyone else. If the 6.8 can get you 550HP and about 525Lbs of torque, why not use it to supercharge rather than the 6.2? Seems you can get allot more out of this 6.8 than the 6.2 based on what I have been reading? Second question, what about reliability and long life using 6.8 versus the 6.2?

True luxuy is understated and subtle, not tasteless Kardashian bling. Yet so many would hit that ass! I bet some of the switchgear is shared w/ Audi and VW, though....some of dirty bits definitely are... Very true, there are always so many dirty bits shared across family plateforms. Nothing wrong as long as it stays strong and is quality built. Yet on a 100K Luxury Sedan, I want a solid feel in my hands when I pull the handle, not some flimsy Eco Box handle.

Sure would, and the result would be closer to a modern Ute. But I've had one of those, and like the stealth factor the '77 can provide. Do it with the RamJet 502! That would sure suprise people, course the LS9 Supercharged crate engine would also rock having a stealth El Camino SS!

Little Johnny in his High School Health Ed class. The teacher has been discussing all week long about how to be protected from STD's. The teacher holds up a Box of condoms and ask's "What are these?" Little Johnny: Opportunity Teacher: Think of what we have been reading on how these protect you and what do you have? Little Johnny: A tired class of girls and guys.

Love this, not all of us are small guys, The Camero while I love it, is just too small and I do have to admit that I love the Challenger due to it being a bigger Muscle Car. Bring this on as a Chevelle and you will find many interested buyers. I being one of them.

FapTurbo I understand not liking electric and it being early, but why would you be happy to have this technology taken over by another country after it was invented here and then lost to that country when the future finally gets batteries that can hold a 300-600 mile charge? We need to continue to invest in technology and look long term, not just short term and dollar signs.

Nice Luxury Sedan, I am sure there are NO $1.80 Door Handles on this baby.

Saw a New Tesla Model S on the way to work, guy clearly got it over the Presidents weekend based on the dates on the temp license in the rear glass. Black with chrome door handles. I have to say it was very ugly and not impressed with it.

I totally agree, friends do not let friends drive Echo's!

Thanks GMTruckGuy! Will have to check it out when I get some time.

Ugly but intersting and I agree with Balthazar, it deserves restoring to take it's proper place in the history bucket of auto's,

Interesting history, great to read!

What happened to the photo's? I see nothing and I want to see this beauty.

Just as many have imported real R34 and R35 skyline auto's into the US, time for you to do the same and get the Ute you always wanted.

well yes, generally; but these guys beg to differ: The only Hondas I've ever truly loved. I do also like S2000's and Integras (and wish Honda would pull their collective head out of their ass and replace them already!), but everything else can GTFO. Thanks for prooving my Point of Booring, passion less and attempted knock off of Italian auto's. Sorry but Godzilla stepped on all these auto's and someone thought it was meant to be sold rather than recycled.

No, the current Explorer is a FWD/AWD CUV, nothing truck about it. Ram is strictly truck and (commercial) van, Jeep is SUV and CUV, and Dodge is car only sounds like the long term strategy that Fiat is pushing towards... Yet people like my daughter who loves the looks and design of the Dodge Durango yet find the Jeep DNA repulsive. So then they just kiss off the hundred of thousands who supported dodge? If the durango had stayed body on frame, I could see it going into the Ram family, but as a UniBody, this SUV/CUV is fine in the Dodge family. I suspect the dodge dealers will not be too happy about loosing out to Ford and GM with only selling cars and no SUV's/CUV's.

Kiss their technology goodbye as the Chinese take it all back to the motherland and eventually kill off Fisker. Another US created technology sold for instant gratification and the lack of balls on the investors to look long term.
