  1. Well, and also, a violent weapon isn't necessarily the best name for a car today... I couldn't see a car called 'Revolver', 'Pistol', 'Knife' or 'Shotgun' either...
  2. I'm wondering how the Sky would look with a roof like the Corvette....hoop b-pillar and big glass hatchback.
  3. The Fit is the Jazz...Jazz is the name for it in Europe and some other markets, I think..
  4. Nice...I have 2 out of the 3 in my Jeep. I want chilled seats and heated/chilled/lighted power cup holders...then I'd be happy>>
  5. Some do, definitely... I can see myself cross-shopping the G8, CTS, TL and Town Car...4 very different cars, but they all appeal to me.. (yes, I'm wierd).
  6. Uh...ok...what's the difference besides 0.2 litres?
  7. It would be nice to see two tones come back...
  8. What would be interesting is if they do a fixed roof version of the Sky with a different design.
  9. Maybe a large percentage of that is disinformation you and your minions are planting?
  10. Went for a post-lunch, post-meeting stroll around my office parking lots a few minutes ago to wake up (nice sunny 57-degree day here the Denver burbs). I saw a very clean late-60s/early-70s Merc 280SE sedan in a cream color, German plate on the front. Also saw a sharp Mexico Blue mid '70s 911.
  11. Agreed.. I'd love to see Riviera and Electra (my favorite Buick name) make a comeback also.
  12. New Fit is Go! I've been seeing a lot of Fits lately, incl. a bright orange one w/ tinted windows yesterday.
  13. Yeah, odd... but whatever.....IMHO, let Chevy and Saturn do the mass market FWD generics, let Pontiac have several niche RWD products...
  14. Yes...I once rode in a Lotus Elise with the top on...it was painful getting in/out (I'm 6'0"). This looks like it would be about as tight.... Looks like it... maybe an option. It doesn't look like the metal panel would fit in the 'trunk' area, though.
  15. I'd take the G8, of course. The Malibu is fine for what it is, but it's a mainstream FWD family sedan. Not my thing.
  16. I can't wait to see it in person. I wonder if I would be able to fit comfortably and see out with the roof on, though..the side windows seem quite small.
  17. Because the market won't pay BMW prices for a Cadillac?
  18. Yeah, I remember that. I'm sure some people also wanted to badge a version of the FWD Grand Prix as a GTO instead of a GTP/GXP/whatever.
  19. I assume GM didn't unstiffen the platform and simply added the roof. Hence, it's heavier. And remember, it's a targa, not a full roof. So it needs to be as stiff as possible..
  20. Interesting..a lot higher than I thought. I'm always amazed at the people I know my age (late 30s) that admit they can't drive a stick.
  21. It's heavier because this is a convertible with the coupe upper added ..if you look closely at the pics, you can see the seams where the coupe upper mates to the convertible quarter panels..I assume the rear upper structure is a plugin that fits where the decklid and boot of the convertible were. When it's the other way around, (i.e. a coupe from which a convertible is derived, then the coupe weighs less).
  22. Because so few North Americans actually know how to use a manual, let alone buy them... aren't manuals like 3% of total sales in NA?
  23. Interesting how similar the greenhouse and proportions are to the MKS....they almost look like they could siblings for two brands sharing a platform.
  24. I think that's the answer right there...or how about the buses and big rigs spewing out their filth? I blame the corrupt, vile people that manage large corporations. And don't forget the cattle, burping and farting mEthane. They need to be fitted w/ catalytic converters..
