  1. mustang, car style, like fashion, goes in trends and cycles....building do also by the way. anyways, perhaps the acceptance of the 300 chrysler and recent rejection of aero maybe signifies this sort of thing is coming around the horn again. with much better build quality I hope! LOL.
  2. think a Z06 motor would fit in there?
  3. the impala MC small block HAS to fit into the Enclave. IMHO if it fits in the Impala, it fits in the Enclave.
  4. are you sure? GM has done dumber things...... yet if this car is built in CANADA it would make sense to make the hometown car winter friendly.
  5. i do know the 05 and 06's are dramatically improved and the 07 gets a stunning new interior. i would be confident in getting one now.
  6. why stop at one. let's purge the top 20, and bring in a new crew altogether.
  7. hold on, i'll let her know, she just rolled over........
  8. every 'team' needs a fall guy before they get rebuilt. its inevtiable.
  9. wasn't schremp's wife the one who got the booze for the teens and was hittin on guys?
  10. G35 sedan meets 07 Sentra
  11. "By the looks of things, the new king of sports compacts is the Mazdaspeed3." The new king of the Sports Compact Playground
  12. they had a second fit on the floor that was open and i sat in that one. Didn't like it. Versa looked cool, but what's the point, get a new Sentra. well, as far as power, my Prizm was under 2500 pounds and had 125hp and that wasn't enough. Under 50mph or so it was ok, but not even fervent shifting of the manual could make it safe transport in 65+ long distance traffic. JMO.
  13. the amanti has a 'chinese luxury car' aura about it
  14. now if they had the astra/ion replacement ready to show too, wouldn't that be cool! great article bmr325
  15. reminds me of our 81 Electra diesel. AWESOME car. 30+ mpg, ran all day. UNTIL the inevitable. My dad was a diesel implement mechanic so he had a love for diesels, but for all the GM engines he rebuilt (there were many ), he had someone else fix ours when it went KER-POP. He always wanted a Mercedes diesel or a small VW diesel. It was likely the best car he's owned aside from the KER-POP and the Seville he's got now. The Electra was not as TACO inside as the PA.....the seats were attractive with grippy cloth and lacked the pillowy look of the barcaloungers in the Park Avenue. Honestly, one of the niches that could make GM a leader again is to revive the big powerful v8 RWD diesel sedan. Think S-Class at a middle class price. The press would rehash old history but honestly, GM would have a lot of fans who would love a nationwide cruiser that would sip fuel at 80+ mph all day. Give it a 10/100 powertrain warranty to back it up. And this is one area where Buick could recarve a niche in the US. Imagine an S-class sized multi-displacement diesel large challenger that can exceed 35 mpg on a trip? there was a sense of 'event' riding in the Electra/Park Avenue and Ninety Eight of this body style and era.....likewise with the concurrent Riv/Eldo/Toro triplets of this year. This was GM at the top of its game in terms of luxury cars. NO ONE wanted a Ford or Chrysler. These cars were what folks aspired to. (Barbara Streisand singing 'Memories' in the background.......) Man, I SOOOO want that car.......that and my 77 Century/Regal
  16. it was tacshift for awhile. i have no issues with 'tapshift'.
  17. only on the high priced GTP.
  18. assuming the checks clear the bank ok.......
  19. ACTUALLY, the buff books have become quite lenient over the last couple years or so (ever since Mercedes cars went in the tank) about getting on MFR's case about these expensive cars to the point where they expect multiple problems due to all the bells and whistles and crap that can go wrong. Yet, a basic family hauler for 20 grand gets killed in the press if it has a leaky tire or a rattle on the dash.
  20. stop it man! not while I'm trying to take a drink!
  21. I don't think even too many Nissan Quests see 8 dealer trips in that time period........
  22. nope, the lucerne, while not great is a nicer overall presentation, especially with the tan leather. neither car is an audi
  23. i saw it at the auto show and also sat in it. its not stunning in person. its not a dramatic diff from the last one overall. the interior is nice other than the geriatric dash. the four door coupe mercedes makes is a true stunner. the s class is merely pleasant. give me an XJ, maserati or A8 instead.
  24. maybe Mark Cuban should run GM.
