  1. Honestly, I don't like the overgrown Tacoma looks pure and simple. I don't care who makes it, the pig snout is unattractive.
  2. ...?
  3. Its not the bench, IMO, its the fact that these old benches aren't split. That would be a pain in the ass nowadays.
  4. Its out of business now. They were founded in 1969 and made mainly offroad vehicles but did also produce three or four car lines, the above was one of them. The BR-800 was Brazil's first indigenous car... I guess its not hard to see why they don't make cars anymore. That XEF coupe above? God...brought enough taillamps for everyone? Puke.
  5. You could use the same argument for Twilight Sentinel - what's the big deal about installing a porch light? But its a great feature. As far as rain-sensing features, it was the '51 LeSabre and it had a moisture detector in the center console so you could park your car with the top down and not worry about it getting rained on as the convertible top would raise itself automatically. Razor, if autolamps failed, you'd use them manually. No big deal. Now, I don't understand this at all. GM pioneered the electric starter, the automatic transmission, electric wipers, traction control, rain-sensing wipers, auto-dimming headlamps, Twilight Sentinel, fuel economy computers - all convenience features and all something we can generally do without (except the first one). In all seriousness, I don't see how we can absolutely love and adore GM for creating these innovations years even decades before the Europeans or Japanese, yet dump on them in GM cars now.
  6. ...and is merely a continuation of what they've has been doing to us for about a decade. They're like that smokin' hot senior in high school who wears tight, low-cut tops, tight jeans and skirts, and always flirts, winks, and rubs up on guys...but that's it. Lincoln is the biggest cocktease in the automotive world.
  7. Thing that sucks is that specific configuration is only possible with an unsplit front bench seat.
  8. Honestly, that paint scheme takes away from the Banshee. Looks very unfinished, but of course, it was a prototype. Imagine it in a deep crimson to match the interior.
  9. That just reminds me what a crappy interior the Infiniti has, especially with the ugliest 3-spoke ever from the Frontier.
  10. One thing I learned is that the Buick Delco unit in your Regal will fit the Olds Delco slot in my Aurora (since I have one). Works perfectly and mounts perfectly, but the trim bezel doesn't fit exactly because the Buick Delco has more 'meat' around it than my stock Olds unit. Consider that issue, too.

    If true, baiting and insulting doesn't encourage it. Think about it.
  12. No. This is a GM site, not a general automotive site. And if all you come on here to do is say negative things about GM, pick fights, and argue repetitively with no aim or reason, then yes you'll be banned. C&G is here to foster friendship and good, engaging debate amongst GM owners, fans, and enthusiasts.
  13. Honestly, so what? People are generally free to say more or less what they want here, anti-DCX, pro-DCX, anti-GM, pro-GM whatever.
  14. BrewSwillis owns a 300 and is one of our staunchest Chrysler fans. Moltar drives a JGC, Ocnblu and SciGuy love the LX cars, Sixty8 wants to buy a Charger, NOS is a Dodge fan, I love the old LH-cars, AzulSky has a Neon and Liberty, and that's just who I can think of off the top of my head. So...yeah. In all seriousness, an accusatory attitude doesn't do any good anywhere.
  15. I'd say 1992-1997 were the most differentiated the Crown Vic/Grand Marquis have ever been with different grilles, lighting configurations front and rear, dashboards, and especially different greenhouses (6-window vs. 4-window).

    Pictures!

    50/50
  17. Pretty much, yeah. And the small car market is stronger, hence things like this, two Metros before, the whole Asuna brand, SMART cars, Echo 3-door, and the lame Acura Civic.

    Langues?

    English, a good amount of German, and some Mandarin Chinese.
  19. That's a fun idea. Dress one up in a paper bag for the Enterprise E-car!

    God bless you, GMrebirth, for showing us the light in such an altruistic, unagrandizing fashion.
  21. Its a joke.
  22. Razor, I don't see how what Empowah said was in any way inflammatory. In fact, he kept his cool. And this isn't about anyone else.
  23. So...are we going to keep bickering or...? Next time, its a warning.
  24. Razor, again...calm down.
  25. Takes the Image Hosted by Tripod?
