Was out driving and felt inspired to take some pictures of the Cutlass.

I'm working on it. I wanted to do a another GIF, but what I want is limited by crappy creators or crappy uploaders. I tried gickr, but I don't like the result. But yes, that is a preview of what's soon to come.

What's also true is the attraction that the Cutlass has for cliffs...

Testing... Nevermind.

I'll see my Grand Am around town every once in a while.

NOS likes going gay on us.

What truth?

Your PM inbox is full. Delete some $h! so I can send you a nasty PM. Anyways, I found this listing on ebay and I really think I'm going to go for it. I just need to find someone with an ebay account to buy it for me. How does the price compare to the quote you got, DF? I forget how much you said it was. Clicky. It'll be nice to finally get the Millenia running, whether I decide to sell it or drive it (course, it'll still need tires and brakes). Either way, this is step towards getting out of the Cutlass that I really need to take. After that, the Cutlass's fate will be decided on.

I could never be loyal to any one manufacturer or country. There are far too many great vehicles out there to own and enjoy. What's the point of being an automotive enthusiast if you only like one manufacturer, one type of vehicle, one country of origin?

Good luck... Hopefully you've learned a thing or two. :wink:

The only brand that should have died in its place was Saturn. Saab, whether or not you care to notice, has a history, too. This is nothing about giving GME more power... It's about not starving a brand, the cause of which is not positive for GM. As the saying goes, you get what you give, and GM isn't giving Saab much and not getting much in return. Well duh...

Well, technically, Bobo is right. The first letter designates the model, which don't have actual names. But where do you think they got the 'C' from? It replacing the Catera (and the Cimarron before it) was just a coincidence, I guess. The point is, whenever they create one of these names, they're not random. Whoever thought of it, had a meaning behind it. Atleast for Cadillac, anyways.

Silly argument. Hatchback, 3-door/5-door... Whatever. Who cares what you call them...

It's positioning. The first letter would essentially be the model designation, the second letter would define the model, while the third letter would describe body type. And it makes sense with all of Cadillac's current names, excluding Escalade. For AWD, Cadillac uses a '4' after the model name. It's not rocket science to figure out, whether its official or unofficial... or just plain gibberish. I think we'd all much prefer actual names, either way.

So it's a completely random mish-mash of letters, then? Seems sort of hard to believe. It replaced the Catera and is a Touring Sedan. Harks back to the Seville STS. Its replacement is conveniently named STS. I wonder if that is a completely random mish-mash of letters, too? How about the BLS? Seems to remind you of the Seville SLS, but with a different model designation. The XLR? That 'R' certainly can't stand for Roadster, can it? Nah... That's just illogical. The SRX and the upcoming BRX? There's no way it could stand for Recreational 'CROSS'over... They're all just random. I'm not a fan of alphanumerics, but you have to quite stubborn to deny it the meaning behind it all. Whether Cadillac sticks with it or not, is another story.

That sort of contradicts the meaning of "CTS" then.

Well, if GM wouldn't starve it...

I'll drive the smallest of small cars. I can drive whatever I'm in the mood to drive, though. Right now I'm considering a car that's 207" in length and one that's 156" in length. I like having wide tastes and being versatile. Except trucks and SUVs. I won't do those... That's just nasty.

The one positive thing about it being on the column is keeping it away from button pushing passengers. If a simple task like those is too much to handle and prevent you from driving well, you shouldnt be driving in the first place.

Happy birthday, Lou.

While I recognize that the Chrysler twins have more changes, they don't really equate to much. The headlight shape is nearly identical, the grill shape is identical, the bumpers are barely different, as are the hoods. The rear panels are the biggest difference because of the Durango's bulging circular taillights.

Nothing wrong with a Volvo...

Technically, the rear doors on the Aspen are different. The flares are smoothed on the Aspen versus creased on the Durango.

Not that it makes much more of a difference, but shouldnt we be comparing the Escalade and the Tahoe instead of the Yukon? The Aspen doesn't really compete with the Yukon...

Test drove a random bunch of vehicles yesterday while car shopping with a friend. During this, I have realized that Suzuki Aerio's have the worst manual gearbox ever made, Hyundai Accent's are world's better, Dealers lie, Dodge Intrepids bore my friend, you shouldn't let someone learn to drive manual while test driving cars, and Chrysler LHS's have awesomely backlit gauges.
