thats what ive been hopin the name was from the start. i cant help but look at this thing and hear the imperial march theme in my head, its gonna be awesome.

"oh noooo! we suck again" either yota has infiltrated cerberus or somebody is a looks-good-on-paper-lets-do-it man

boo you suck!... yar some people have all the luck, thats the exact color combo i wanted. did you get the chrome trim package too?

i just had and idea, an idea so smart my head would explode if i even began to know what i was talking about. if it goes to gmc maybe they could call it the canyon and drop the colorado twin. that gets gmc some individuality and then... wait for it... gmc can get the crewman over here too and you got a canyon crew. does that sound logical at all to anyone?

the ssr was doomed before it started on the count of greedy dealers seeing dollar signs instead of selling the cars like they should have, i cringe at the thought everyday about how bad its going to be when the camaros finally hit the lots, heck there was even a dealer on ebay trying to sell the first one he got when they just made the announcement it was coming back. the ls1 ssr was underpowered by any means, the 6.0 made it legit. hopefully we are talking about the new impala platform coming whenever they finally realize it needs to be here. the el caminos need to stay on the platform they're on though. they started out on the impala platform in 59 and after 2 years they called it quits, the chevelle frame made the combination work. it was the perfect size. if the frames got swapped wouldnt that add to the cost right? if we are talking current impala it would mean that dated platform kickin around another 3 or 4 years at least. i agree about the name changing crap. look at honda and acura. swappin the car names around like its nobodys business. GM needs to be careful with the legacy names, they incur memories of a once proud automaker that could do no wrong. not like this b4-f5-whatever names that sound like a button on a keyboard. they need to go one place and not have the carbon copy badge whoring or it will fail miserably.

i thought the reason pontiac and saturn got those vehicles was because it would help bolster their sales. by readin the production numbers... it looks like it did. as far as collectible cars are concerned, i doubt the sky or solstice were intended to fill that gap. maybe the redline and gxp will have a cult following like the sy/ty's and t-types in 20 years but whos to say. as of this moment the only cars i can honestly say GM churns out as collectibles would be pace car vettes and trucks like the intimidator SS's. you know, low production number cars. even those cars have a 20 yr or better wait ahead of them before people start really desiring them for what they are worth.

yeah, gmc seems to be runnin out of mountain-rangey names.

i like the way the designs split, the saturn seems aimed at the younger marked with refined body lines and a sharper image. the solstice seems geared to the older folks that like the curvy lines. the pontiac makes me think c2 vette lines, the sky more like a european sports car. i like the sky better, but previous posts nail it on the head, if a dealer wants to sell a car have one in the inventory with everything on it as a demo or something but dont have 5 loaded to the gills in different colors unless you want to take a hit cause the majority of people just wont pay 31000 for a roadster, 27K is plenty steep enough. the sky seems like the one with the exclusivity. we got 5 or 6 solstices runnin around my town and i have only seen one sky in a year.

definately see the chevy before the gmc. elkys have been tweaked since they came out. rode on the full size for 2 years then popped onto the chevelle frames and a legend was born. had a great uncle that had his first in 65. my dad told me he traded to the new model every year until he died in 79. being between and elky and a hardcore elky man is a bad place to be. gm would be wise to listen to public opinion on this call.

chrysler reo (re-0) kia may get mad but at least they can stick with a band name hehe

as much as i love watching these things whip the porches on the lemans series... i can get past that front end. pricing seems decent though

it would be awesome to see fieros back on the lot with the rest of the pontiac lineup, but wouldnt that compete with the solstice? especially a coupe if they brought it out? i think the fight between the 2 would be a problem... at least they would both be pontiacs that sold whichever was chosen though.

warning... stupid question ahead. why do they cost so freakin much down under? its right up there with the buicks in china.

kinda fond of that retina seering green myself... prolly the only one too...

i have always loathed the fact that you cant buy the motor for whatever car you wanted unless you got a trim level. thats why b4c camaros stand out to me even though they look like the v6 slomaro's they go a z28 beating under the hood. my favorite cars at shows are the 66 byscaines with a bench seat, no air, no radio, a 4sp, and a mosterous 427 under the hood. looks better than any chevelle or camaro.

looks like a bloated, extended rav4 from 4 years ago... can some one cue up another one of those owned compilations for this turd to the tune of that one about the nissan altimas catchin fire?

hmm a super sport thats actually... super... im impressed

maybe with all theat money they saved, they can do commercials like hyundais... maybe not so far as to say DUH to the mission impossible theme, but something along those lines

holy crap, i'd never buy one of those things after talkin to one of the spine surgeons at the hospital i work at. its 2 yrs old and its in and out of the shop once a month, why he doesnt just sell it i have no clue... not like he is strapped for cash.

woder if they use lead based paints on the cars like they do the toys...?

"... cementing their foothold as the #1 automaker in the world..." agreed though the money would well be spent somewhere else... like doing commercials that downplay toyotas performance claims like the ditch homebrew deal.

would it be devistating to lose saab? i'm just asking. i dont really care for them and i am not saying down with saab but i dont see how they effect the big picture of GM.

well you arent the import humping gm hater i thought you were, you just have very high standards that gm doesnt seem to meet to you, and while i dont agree with some of it i can respect those views now that you have explained where you are coming from.

really? from all the other posts ive been reading it seems gm is the problem. buick has to die, hummer has to die... i mean come on, if lexus acura infinity bmw is so great buy one and quit hatin on GM its gettin old. why does caddy need a $70,000 vehicle outside of the xlr? if they do there will be substantually low preduction numbers of them which by ceartain rules i have read means it needs to die right?

i'd kill to have a rwd v8 09 impy parked next to my 69 sport coupe impy
