Welcome to the site! So do you have a blue Z34? Cavalier right? Or something else?

That car looks like a disaster. I vote no.

Costco usually does 70 or 80 off a set of 4. BFGs are Michelin

It would be cool to have an Aztek in the calendar!

Welcome back Carman21!

Satty you NEVER disappoint!

I'm sorry, but I cannot in good faith believe anything Fox News reports. I should also mention that most news agencies I cannot believe in good faith either.

I went to Fiskar's website and their car looks really great.

LOL Who cares where you are going in that thing. Where ever you go you are THERE!

what kind of engine is in it?

Corvette & Avalanche

So GM supplies engines and I am guessing will hold the loan note on the plant. Always looking ahead. Which is what then need to do.

This is good new all around. Imagine the possibilities of this deal.

Other thread with updated news articles.

C&G has a facebook page and new fans are added on a daily basis. I would encourage all of the C&G members who are fans of the facebook page to make comments there as well as it is another avenue for exposure and insight. Twitter is something I am still trying to learn.

Goosefraba Goosefraba Who cares if he is looking at your outlook.

I wonder what kind of new stuff will be on the horizon and if we will be able to tell the difference between which agencies are doing the work.

Hmmmmm I can remember a certain member talking about this and nobody believing him.

GM hits the brakes on Opel deal; no signing with Magna this week FRANKFURT (Reuters) -- General Motors Co. put on hold a deal to sell a 55 percent stake in carmaker Opel to a Russian-backed consortium led by Canadian auto parts group Magna International Inc., GM's chief negotiator on the deal said today. Subscribe to Automotive News No sale can proceed until the U.S. carmaker's board of directors discusses the Opel deal at a meeting on Nov. 3, chief negotiator John Smith said in a blog entry, pouring cold water on hopes that the sale contract could be signed this week. "Given the significance of the Opel transaction, GM's board will soon meet in its regularly monthly meeting to consider Minister zu Guttenberg's letter and changes to the Magna/Sberbank proposal that have occurred since its last review on September 9," Smith said in the blog. He was referring to German Economy Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg's request to GM -- prompted by European Union concerns about promises of German state aid -- to confirm that the carmaker chose Magna for business and not political reasons. In the meantime, the company would work to resolve remaining open points with the Magna/Sberbank proposal, including labor cost reductions and a plan to obtain 4.5 billion euros ($6.8 billion) in aid sought from states with Opel plants, Smith said. Reduced number of job cuts Opel's workers -- who face about 10,000 job cuts under the new owners from 50,000 now -- are supposed to get a 10 percent stake in the new company in return for labor cost concessions, while GM will keep a 35 percent stake. GM decided last month to sell a majority stake to Magna and its Russian partner Sberbank. Opel's buyers originally intended to eliminate about 10,500 jobs in Europe, including about 4,000 in Germany, but talks with labor have resulted in promises to cut fewer jobs. Workers in Spain are due to vote on a preliminary deal that would keep a plant there open at the cost of 900 jobs -- instead of up to 1,650. U.K.-based union Unite has already reached an agreement with Magna that would preserve two Vauxhall production plants and rescue 600 of the jobs that were slated to go. Vauxhall employs about 5,500 people. Magna and the Russian bank have vowed to inject 500 million euros into Opel, aiming to use it to make an aggressive push into the Russian market. The European Commission is keeping a close eye on the transaction to ensure state aid is not misused for political purposes. It has pressured Berlin into making assurances that the state aid it envisages was available to any buyer, not just its preferred buyer, Magna. The supplier has proposed keeping all four Opel plants in Germany open.

Ford paid to have that ride and drive at the event. Usually at "motor trend shows" there is one company that is contracted to do ride and drives for cars. I know from following GM Southwest on twitter, that they do ride and drives at malls and other places all the time. I haven't been able to find a schedule for it, but they tweet constantly on where they are going to be. I think they are in San Jose, CA next.
