  1. Is the Insignia Epsy II?
  2. GM's a global company..obviously, they are going to invest in emerging markets that have growth potential.
  3. I'm guessing it's a concept for the next Lucerne..it looks bigger than a LaCrosse/Epsy II Regal will be..
  4. Whatever it is, it looks pretty interesting...I like the classic Buick sweepspear on the side and love the name. Nothing wrong with using 'heritage' names, IMHO... I love the names Invicta and Electra in particular. (by the way, here's a geek factoid--I have the computers on my home network named Impala, Catalina, Ventura, Invicta, and Electra-- '60s GM big-car names that end in 'a').
  5. Kewl.
  6. I'd compare the Avalon to the Lucerne or Sable...it's more of a large, cushy Buick-style cruiser than the G8. The G8's only domestic competitor is the Charger, and for the imports, maybe the '09 Maxima? (yes, the Maxima is FWD, but it's a largish, cheap sport sedan...no RWD equivalents in the non-premium brands that I can think of).
  7. Boring...it's a 5000lb truck. Hopefully GM will still have RWD cars, at least for Cadillac. As will Infiniti and Lexus... and Jaguar if they are still around.
  8. For the near term, my daily driver will remain my '00 Grand Cherokee... I'm thinking of getting a convertible for a Phoenix winter car in a year or so, though. I'm still thinking about a CTS for my next daily driver, before June '10 (my 40th b-day).
  9. I like it overall, esp. the interior. But the TL is still my favorite FWD sport sedan...
  10. That is a true bumper sticker, though...you basically are flushing away money when fueling up a gas guzzling bloat beast...
  11. Well, this is GM we are talking about..they always seem to be a decade or so behind on content on their mass-market models...they are just getting past pushrod V6s and 4spd automatics, after all...
  12. I see the MKS in the greenhouse...interesting to see a vertical grille rather than the recent Nissan styles... I like the interior, definitely some Infiniti influence in the center stack.
  13. Ventura? I like that name...was thinking it could be interesting to bring back. I wondered if Zeta would work as a name..it's distinctive.
  14. No point for an SUV with GMC in the same showroom...the Torrent replacement is going to be the GMC Terrain, from what I've read.
  15. I would think with gas prices as they are now, and presuming they continue to go up, demand for Hummers will drop off naturally... It would be nice for GM to have a brand the competed with Jeep, I don't think Hummer is it though...too ugly, too obese.
  16. I saw a gold 5dr Pontiac T1000 this morning in traffic...haven't seen one of those (or a Chevette) in years!
  17. It's a car truck, though....a 2 seat coupe with a large trunk.
  18. Yeah, Wyo definitely has harsher winters than the Front Range. We get huge snows up in the mountains and on the Western Slope and out east towards Nebraska and Kansas, but the I-25 corridor usually escapes the big ones...

    09 models

    Not surprising, though, considering how many new or redesigned models came out in MY '07 and '08. The Traverse is one new model for '09, though. So for MY '10, there will/may be the Camaro, CTS coupe, Epsy Dos LaCrosse, anything else likely? BRX? Sostice Targa?
  20. Neat PonBon...I had a buddy in college that drove a silver '79 4dr with a red interior similar to that one. Nice big cruiser.
  21. I usually get mine online, though my local hobby shop sometimes has some.. I usually pre-order JL sets through Milezone (www.milezone.com) or 1 Stop (www.1stopdiecast.com) or from various ebay vendors.
  22. I've never had a corn dog, IIRC. But I do love the pigs-in-a-blanket on a stick (i.e. a pancake-wrapped sausage on a stick). Speaking of corn dogs, they were referenced in 'Semi-Pro', I saw it last night..a bit uneven, not Will Farrell's best, but it had some funny moments. The '70s clothes and music was great.
  23. Hmmm...there's only one of those red/pink areas I'd seriously consider living in.
  24. Maybe the Tues announcement will be the G3 (US version of the Wave).
  25. Will there be a GXP version? Pontiac is car!
