The H1 is waaaay too large and heavy to be of any value off-road. If I wanted to get serious about off-roading, I'd get a Rubicon.

Rebadged Opel Astra will come to U.S at end of '07
Robert Hall replied to 13092's topic in Heritage Marques
Hmm...the Ion has only been around for a few years? Why would someone put 200k on one??? -
Well, one argument I can see for keeping the DTS is that Lexus still has the ES.. there still seems to be a market for floaty FWD luxury sedans..

Demographic Groups Rank Most Buzz-Worthy Vehicles

Hmm...so my generation gives the nod to the H3..how boring. -
Camry buyers couldn't care less about 'blowing doors off' or 'character'..they want reliable appliances.
-
The quarter window is too squared off...looks more like a '70-72 Skylark to me..
-
Agreed, good riddance..it was complete nonsense, IMHO. If I could afford a high dollar prestige SUV I'd get something good looking that would actually be enjoyable to drive like a Cayenne Turbo S or Range Rover Sport, not a crude, primitive military vehicle..
-
Cadillac definitely needs a 4-seat coupe and convertible...something in the size range of the CLK would be great...
-
Agreed...looks much nicer than the larger G6..
-
Yes, it's the kind of place I'd love to spend a day wandering around...

And with Lexus, Toyota has luxury cars you don't have to think about... it's also a rational, sensible choice, at higher price points than a Toyota, but still very sensible.
-
I would argue that DCX's brands (Smart, Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, M-B, Maybach) are far better differentiated with each other (though Dodge & Chrysler have some overlap) than GM's brands..
-
True'nuff...I'm sure if they put a chrome Hummer grille on the 'Vette or Aveo, they would sell well also... the Hummer brand is a nothing but a faux-macho BS image, no real substance, IMHO... the H1 was an antiquated military truck that made no sense as a civilian street vehicle...

Also, the article was innacurate with the focus on only boomers..I certainly know plenty Gen Xers that drive Camrys and Corollas.. Many people buy Toyotas as they are the rational, sensible choice..they know they are getting a reliable car and one with a good resale value. These are not car enthusiasts, just regular people that need a car to get from point A to point B and back again.

I think their weight is the issue...lots of power and torque, but in heavy cars.
-
I wonder if Hyundai is working w/ HBO on a product placement deal for this in their show 'Entourage'..
-
Keep KITT a Pontiac. G5!!! G5!!! G5!!!
-
I'd like to visit Dubai..I think it would make for an interesting vacation..

Yes, after all, it is a GM car built in a GM plant...look at all the GM cars built in Canada, Mexico....( or the Aveo built in Korea, or the GTO in Australia). -
Ice.

True 'nuff..the Super Duty (since it's '99 introduction) kind of followed on to the mini-big rig look the Ram started in '94. Agreed on the Titan...that is one wierd looking truck. The front doors and cab-forward style A-pillars in particular make it mis-proportioned and disjointed, IMHO...
-
Maybe they will use a G5 or G6.. Another dreadful old show that shouldn't be remade, IMHO.
-
GM already has a compact sedan in the Cobalt..do they really need another? Given the Ion was a dud, going all-hatchback would be a good differentiator for Saturn..
-
Maybe not the F150, but the Super Duty definitely has the macho thing going on..massive grille, general hugeness ...
