Having him still in that role in 2010 doesn't sound very good, IMHO....he's a lifer..they need change.

Hmm...when I was 28 in '98, as a car enthusiast who read all the magazines (and with an '87 Mustang GT), I bought a BMW M3...never considered a Buick. Nothing wrong with being an enthusiast...who wants to be one the bland sheeple with their Camrys?

I don't think Cadillac buyers would necessarily be cross-shopping Corvettes..

With the CAFE changes looming, I'm sure any and all future V8 plans are in flux..

2009 Chevrolet Traverse Preview
Robert Hall replied to Intrepidation's topic in Chicago Auto Show (CAS)
Wow...amazing. I always assumed the vans (dustbuster and later) were related to the GM-10/W bodies since the Lumina name was used on the car and the van.. GM definitely made a lot of use of their parts box of '80s FWD crapola.. -

Yeah, one thing GM did in the late '80s that was so stupid were the idiotic door mounted seat belts (I don't know if the dustbusters had them). Ford also had the stupid automatic seatbelts...meanwhile, Chrysler went to airbags in all their models around '88 or so.. -
That would make an interesting pair with the green '71 Eldo coupe used in that psycho killer road trip movie with Jim Caviezel from a few years ago (can't recall the name of the movie).

Or the reverse...people will think 'why pay so much more for a Malibu, when I can get a Camry for so much less?
-
Sad...

True...I think GM NA (and Ford and Chrysler to some degree) have been guilty for a LONG time of tunnel vision, not seeing anything outside of the depressing, gray Detroit area with it's straight, flat potholed freeways...

The Captiva would make a good Equinox replacement, I think.
-
Would be cool, but I doubt if GM is going to do it..

Huh? By 1997 when the U-body came out the A-body was already 15 years old and out of production..that makes no sense... -
Looks great in black...now if they would do one in white w/ no decals..
-
The S2000, though, being a 2 seater convertible, is a pure sports car, by definition. The RX8 is a nice sports coupe. I wouldn't compare them, kind of an apples-to-oranges thing..

The Neon was ugly with a crappy interior, though. I always laugh when someone says X 'owns' Y...'own' sounds like silly teenage videogamer lingo...
-
Chevy has so many models now, I don't see the need for them to have yet another...Pontiac, on the other hand..

ALTIMA COUPE vs ACCORD COUPE 08
Robert Hall replied to regfootball's topic in Site News and Feedback
FWD coupes aren't my favorite genre, but having seen both up close inside and out now, I definitely prefer the Accord coupe. -
joy (happy happy joy joy)

Yeah...easy enough to do, since the GT-R in the past has always been a Skyline... it's too bad they don't call the new one Skyline, since GT-R by itself is so generic, while 'Skyline' is very evocative...reminds me of fast drives along Skyline Drive (an incredible road in the Santa Cruz mountains in the SF Bay Area).
-
Ohh...sorry. I am used to that spelling being feminine, i.e. Toni Morrison, Toni Braxton etc..
-
With the changes in CAFE regs coming, I wouldn't be surprised if M-B didn't start offering 6-cyl S-classes and SLs in the US again...
-
For too many years, it seems like many models within GM's brands have competed more with each other than with the rest of the market...
