Maybe it was a rare 2004 3.5L R/T!

Pontiac needs a balance of a few FWD products with some performance RWD ones too. The G8, Solstice, GTO/Firebird/TA would be nice.

Problem is I don't have a good head on shot of it yet. Once I can get one you will have it. -
I see a good and a bad for both. Having never owned a OHC vehicle I can say OHV have a broader torque/power band than a non-VVT-VVTi/VVTi-L-VTEC whatever you call it, but OHV struggle higher up in most cases past 4-5K. The LS7 is proof that it is not all, that puppy screams past 5-6-7K! I still like the low weight of an OHV motor, and the powerband. I hate how people on the Car and Driver Forums bash OHV. I am not a OHC hater, gee I might own a N* powered DTS (slighty used of course someday), or a 3.6L DOHC Torrent GXP FWD/Enclave FWD or even a G8 but it prolly would be a GT V8 hey never know I might fall in love with the 3.6L DOHC V6 engine in the base G8.

Glad you like it man. -
You might be suprised. Seriously. A good FWD large sedan has merits all of its own.

Hello everyone, I have been busy lately but hey it is a Saturday night and what could I do besides photoshop... NOTHING! What it could look like on yours... (or I should say mine) Actually someone will ask how in the h*ll I got the Pontiac G8 logo so big... I zoomed in on the buttom using the plus 100% thingy in internet explorer (the new verison) and then I right clicked and zoomed in even more or the logo. Used the old print screen trick and then put the logo together MUCH bigger. Need a larger resoultion of anything than my desktop screen print just pm me. Note the desktops are only 1024X768, the Pontiac G8 logo I have in a 1800X800 and the G8 profile I have in 1280X960. Tell me if you like them! Thanks and enjoy... (I love my photoshop!)

That is my current one. Seriously a day ago I had a 2007 Silver Lexus LX-470 on a mountain top in the snow on it. The only two Toyota vehicles I like our the Current Land Cruiser, and I like the LX-470 even more. (Yes more than an Escalade, no kidding!) Anyways I will post two verisons of that G8 desktop in the Pontiac Forum.

Control Print Screen Paste in photoshop or your favorite photo editing program save it. Your done.

Okay I need to admit I am total car nut and I WANT HUGE full quality images of not only GM but everything. Can someone show me or explain to me how to download the photos even though I am not MEDIA? Any help would be great thanks.

Rejoice there might be light at the end of the tunnel. The G6 is an excellent car having riden in two one a GT Coupe and the other a G6 4cylinder Sedan. They ride excellent and that 3.9 has excellent kick with the 6spd. stick who cares if it is an OHV?

It's official. Chrysler's up for auction...NOT?
gm4life replied to vrazzhledazzle's topic in Chrysler
There is a 50 percent chance GM is buying them. What do they have to bring to the table anyways a new mini-van. I would just tell Diamler to eat crow and steal the mini-van plans, thats all GM maybe wants. Anyother move would be stupid. I would pay alot just for those hell more than what Chrysler and all there problems are worth. DON'T BUY 'EM STICK 13 BILLION IN PRODUCT DEVELOPEMENT! -
Meeting Fuel Economy Standards Could Cost GM $40B
gm4life replied to ehaase's topic in General Motors
The new Tundra sucks fuel, the Sequoia, Land Cruiser (wonderful truck seriously the only Toyo/Lexus I would get) and the Tacoma are all very hoggish when it come to mpg the new non-hybrid Camry's aren't excellent either they are just good. -
Pontiac needs a balance between FWD and RWD too. But the Solstice, G8 and GXP Series even in the Bonneville and Grand Prix and GTO have shown they are serious about performance and styling to a certain extent at least.

What are we doing playing politics. I support Mr. Bush but he has had his flaws this 4 percent increase is one of them and not realistic. -
Looks like GM outsold Toyota for the month of Feburary. Good job guys, the Avalon isn't selling as hot as I thought it would be the Lucerne is still whipping a$$, oh and look those Camry and Corolla sales keep going up, up, up. Gee you know why there are ALOT of Camry's and Corolla's being sold into rental fleets.

The man above us nailed it. The Lambada might be able to be modified for a car.
-
I was suprised the DTS sales were down that much. And was dispointed with some other sales including Tahoe's but many were up!
-
My Bonneville and Impala are the same.
-
I will miss the SS model only.

One problem AWD costs more, why do AWD when you can do FWD?
-
What you fail to realize is Cadillac already has two RWD cars and the DTS is different and sells on it because it is different. Not everyone needs BMW handling nor do they want the price. For 50,000 you can get a performance DTS with most of the bells and whistles a Benz or BMW will cost you at least 20-30K more for a car of similar size. The dollar to car ratio on the DTS is excellent and switching your strongest seller to RWD is taking a huge risk, I don't care if the average DTS buyer is 60 but the hope being that people at say 30 buy an CTS and drive sportier RWD Cadillac's and by the time they are 55 there values have changed from excellent handling wanting a luxury ride. (Where the DTS comes in!) Just because RWD is what you think you want and is more exciting and will deliever better handling doesn't mean it is right for Cadillac. There is not enough market share for 3 RWD sedans. Just build the SLS over here, and give the DTS a much needed platform update along with the Lucerne! Trust me a FWD luxury 'boat' as many people say around here still have many merits, and you contiune to push the same old RWD stuff, not everyone is a performance nut and the DTS suits them just fine. Sometimes the best thing is to offer an alternative from what the next guy sells that is why the DTS/Deville have remained such a strong seller. Please understand I respectfully disagree, RWD is good but FWD sells in much larger numbers. Think of it this way... 2008 Malibu FWD vs. new RWD Impala The Malibu will sell 250K hell maybe more, and the RWD Impala won't sell near that many. Maybe 100K if they are lucky, if losing sales is the goal then fine but having all RWD Cadillac's might have the same result, even tho Cadillac buyers have different tastes lets face it they are not that different. Logically I don't understand your point raise the price switch it to RWD sells less of them and sales slip makes total sense. Then someone will bring up profitablity sure you can charge 70K for one but how many do you plan on selling when there are models like the LS-Series, 7-Series and S-Class. I don't mean to rain on your performance parade but someone has to speak resonable. 2 RWD Cadillac's right now is enough. Sorry I love performance but DTS buyer's don't prolly know what torque steer is nor do they care, but the way I drove a 2007 DTS performance package a month ago and was hugely impressed even tho it is FWD it had all the handling performance I needed the stabli-track and MRC are wonderful. GM pushing RWD stuff is good but it won't be mainstream sellers like FWD is and guys need to realize that not everyone wants RWD. They need a balance of both thats why I say one RWD Pontiac sedan is enough maybe two with a RWD performance car GTO, Trans Am whatever they want to call it. They need a FWD sedan/coupe or two and performance SUV never hurts. With the Solstice of course. Chevy just needs the RWD Camaro, Corvette, new Impala and maybe a Chevelle the rest should remain FWD. Buick needs a GNX performance coupe based on the Camaro/G8/Zeta with a 3.6L DI Turbo V6 and then ONE large RWD Buick sedan. The Lucerne and LaCrosse should remain FWD and of course the Enclave must stay but it needs a SMALL V8 320hp would be nice. Then GMC needs to keep doing what they are doing and so does Saturn. Sorry RWD is great for people that have no bad winters (I do) and want performance but most people are happy driving a Malibu or Camry like vehicle, they are what give you sales, not RWD speciality performance stuff. As you can see I like RWD and performance and I am considering a new G8 someday but FWD still sells, if that changes fine you guys will be ready. How many RWD Cars does Toyota, not LEXUS just Toyota branded vehicles do they currently sell? And guess what there sales are on fire. Hell Honda has only RWD vehicle the S2000 and they seem to be doing okay. Look at Acura even, I am just being realistic and saying that GM is nuts if they are putting all there money into RWD development. You still have enough time to get out a new FWD Lucerne/DTS! GO!
-
^I think it is too, the DTS gets way to many sales because of its price, a ULS would be sweet!^ Just redesign the DTS on a FWD/AWD platform and use it for the Lucerne too. Then build a ULS, S-Class & LS460 beater.

Really I want mine to come.
