I like this Idea even better.

Yea, Chevy, GMC or Buick, this car is a winner and they need it as the public is excited about it. Personally I think they should go GMC on it as a Sporty Mid Level version of an Auto Denali.

We'll I am as of today joining the 9 million plus that are now unemployed. Only 2 weeks ago they company talked about how our new product division is so strong and great and boom, the upper mgmt shows up today flying in from San Jose to Seattle and immediatly pulls us all into a team meeting and informs us that under the new organization they will be closing down this engineering site. Each of us got a compensation package and the day to clean out our offices. So much for thinking our long hours and new products what securing our jobs through this depression. :nono: :nono:

Weaird, Stopped by the BPG dealership here and they are sold out of the G8, since the positive media about the G8, they cannot get enough of them to sell. One of the sales people told me he wished they would keep the car and slap a Buick or gmc name plate on it as every person who test drove it over the last couple months bought the car. Seems GM needs to keep the auto going since it is a winner with people looking for a sporty 4 door quality auto. One last interesting comment was that the sales people I talked with said people did not car about the name plate as much as they read and heard only positive things about the G8. So hopefully they can keep this baby going.

Screwed

WOW, This baby of a Whale does look like the Camry, yet it will sell due to that Asian loving Consumer Reports will talk it up and say it is great unlike their hate for all American Auto's. WOW, this thing is a boat now and anyone with common sense will say that looks like the aborted sybling of the camry

This first photo has to be from the late 90's to current time frame, they remind me of some wheels I have seen on Buick concepts. The girl is Cute, will take here too with the car.

Happiness

Yes lucky for them due to a very poor line up of Fuel efficient auto's and Tree hunging supporters that are happy with Plastic, gutless auto's. Course not being an American Company and nothing they have fit me or my family. Average size of 6' plus tall I will never own a auto from them.

Camino, If the Ute does come as a GMC or Chevy model would you be interested to place your money there? Also which brand do you really feel it should go to? As a smaller luxury truck for GMC as a possible Denali model of GMC Ute or the Chevy El Camino?

I totally agree, either a high end chevy or better yet make it the performance mid lux sedan for Buick. This would still bring in the mid 30's year old people to a brand that can grow. They also could just slot it as a GMC Denali 4 door sedan.

I understand and respect you for what you have stated here. Hopefully the break and rest will allow you to find peace and balance to jump back into the auto enthusiast world for the current and upcoming models. Good luck Camino,

We'll seems you got your wish as the Gov and Chrysler seem to have reached a deal to save the company. Chrysler and Gov reach deal.

MSN Auto Top American Auto's Pictures Here is the full story on Auto's American cannot live without. The link above is purely the pictures, nicely done. Link below is the story to read about. Not a bad piece in my opinion. Auto's American Cannot live without!

Being a Software engineer, I never promised anyone I would be good with Grammer or Spelling. I understand everyone who liked the Heritage of Pontiac being mad, but I feel deep down there is much to be excited about in the near future and long term.

I am Sure DF or one of the admins could assist you with a name change if you would like that. While I have not looked, I would think you could do it in the profile settings but I could be wrong. Good Luck.

+1000 Balthazar, I have to say you really stated it well. This is a very hard time for the General and things will always change and at this time it seems we need to do some very painful change, but as a person who grew up with a dad running his own auto shop and saying every year one of the detroit 3 has a better year than the others and be flexible, he also said if you loved a maker of a car line even if they killed it off, give them time as they always end up coming out with something you will love. Unlike some who seem to just want to rip on the so called bland styles of auto's. I have stayed true to my heart even when GM did not have much that I liked in the late 90's. Yet I ended up supporting the General well in the last few years and will still support them.

Sorry I was not Clear enough, I understood they are not going to rebadge the Vibe, but if they want to build a small higher gas milage small auto then either plan on a chevy model or go mid lux model. Do NOT try to have GMC or Buick sell a Chevy Equal auto. Compete against the foreign auto's and not themself's.

I could see a Vibe as a GMC or Luxury Buick version, if they want to keep it cheep like the current Vibe then put it in the Chevy portfolio and drop one of the other cheep Chevy's.

WOW, I know Toyota builds some crappy products but it seems they are now surpassing GM as the garbage builder of the world.

Then you might as well start by dropping the CaddyXLR-V since it is a dead product and choose something from a company in business that makes a current product you like. If everyone not onlyl bought what they like but always bought non American product we would never have amounted to the country we became before the last 8 years of Rich indulgance and self destruction that has left us in the current possion we are now in. Demming and Drucker attempted to teach to the American Auto industry, all industry about long term planning and quality products. Sadly most Americans tend to think of only their own selfishness and instant gratification and now we wonder why we are in the poor shape we are now in. I agree and support peoples right to buy what they like and freedom of choice, I just ask that people take a hard look at where they spend their hard earned money and does it really help our country and your fellow citizen or does it help a foriegn owned company and country.

Saw a Viper on Sunday at the winery I was visiting and then saw a Mclaren on Saturday also at another winery I was visiting.

Hogwash, they have both built a number of cheap garbage auto's and still charge outlandish prices for lousy small auto's that only fit a portion of Americans. A real American will stay with their American companies through thick and thin. If you are not happy with the direction of GM then go with Ford or Chrysler, but not a German nut can car company.
