  2. 300 rode the halo of being outrageous. Once the halo subsided, the people are starting to look into the crappy interior and build quality. What is not helping Diamler is the other products are suddenly looking bland and crappy. The FWD 300 and its other stablemates were better executed. The interior was at least good looking in the older 300 compared to the set squares and rulers drawn LX platform. Like Brian said, a car's success should be on four things 1. Good Design 2. Thought out Details 3. Execution of build quality and engineering, AND Safety 4. Fuel Economy at least on par with others If they satisfy all the four, I do not think the people will care more or less for which wheel powers it. Look at the BMW 3 series and Acura TL type S. They both weigh same, have almost the same HP, and also almost the same fuel economy. That said, it is only perception that RWD fuel economy will suck or that RWD are unsafe to drive.
  3. Because people were driving 50 in a 60 speed zone in their Priuses.
  4. Big Dig
  5. A combination of Audi for that horrible grid, Pontiac (GTO for the fact of 30,000 V-8 coupe and G-6 for its body), Honda for the Headlight looks.
  6. That makes sense. As I mentioned in one of the threads for the birth of a RWD G-6, it is very imperative that the weight of the RWD car stay under 3200. The Nissan Altima and the Honda Accord four bangers weight about 3150 lbs. A 3600 lb car is not going to get the 28-35 mpg as turbo is pointing out and we have the 2008 "real world" MPG coming up. Probably, Chevy can bring a unique full sized RWD. A car with all the engines as hybrids. I.e. one turbocharged four banger, one V-6 and one V-8, all of them mated to hybrids, which are more on the taste of Accord V-6, than the Prius. But then it will probably end up being a niche car and kill the volume. GM needs Alpha regardless. If CTS going to go upside, it will create a big hole, which they need to fill in. Moreover, I like idea of 1-series fighter from the Caddy. Smaller RWD. I do not think that will be impossible to make with a modified Kappa.

  8. May be they did that to test our imagination skills.
  9. 6-speed Stick shift and a V-6 or a high output turbocharged 4 banger, with sport tuned suspensions. Anything that will fit this bill in the mid-size will get my money. Ideally a V-8 with a stick shift will not be a bad idea either. LOL

  11. That is what I thought. Or may be Harmonica special. Play tunes as you drive. The wind will control the rhythm.

    SCCA Autocross!

    Did those things have five speeds as an OEM? That would be sweet.
  14. Nice work by Junior and Senior GM4life. Junior for writing that story and Senior for raising a good kid like Junior.
  15. Look at this Bitch's comments. Both those vehicle makers are below Buick in JD Surveys. Talk about being ignorant sheepling.
  16. LOL. Win Me was the Turdra of OS from Microsoft. If there was recall term analogous to cars, that thing would have been recalled for ever. My first PC was assembled by a local dude (Geek) and he recommended it. GOD I hated that thing, I felt like hitting that geek every time it crashed. And oh BTW for Ocnblu, his name was Sanjaya too. LOL.
  17. A wild idea! Kappa based coupe?
  18. Black Raven with Ebony. 3.6 DI with 6 speed manual. 5.1 Bose and performance package with summer tires.
  19. That is the real reason for failure. Are the consumers omniscient to know whether GM makes hybrids? They should have had ads for them flogging on every corner of the street.
  20. Sperm
  21. 2 3 I think we should only have one winner given the number of entries. It seems like the number of entries have been dwindling over the past few competitions. Fly, I think we may need to ask people what should be done to get more responses and why are there not many entries.
  22. Ahh camouflage.
  23. What the F### is that, just changing PDC to PDD?
  24. Nice chess by the three grand masters standing there.
