Look up some of my posts then.... I harp on VW/Audi all the time due to prior experiences with them. My complaints about BMW's actual cars are minimal, I just find them to be stylistically unremarkable. The only BMW that catches my fancy is the 7-series. My real beef with BMW is that the badges are worth more than the cars themselves. Jeremy Clarkson has a really good quote in the segment where he compares the Vauxhaul VXR8 and the 5-er. He points to the BMW badge on the hood and says "This right here is worth 30,000£"... because he finds the Vauxhaul and the 5-er to be sooo close in everything else. If GM threw a BMW badge on a CTS they'd be able to sell for 25% more. After the 300c, Chrysler really took some big steps backwards in design.

just sayin....

So what? You're in So.Cal.... even the bums there drive rusted out BMWs. I see A-body Cierras and Centurys all the time. It seems most of the Celebrities and 6000s have gone to the great junkyard in the sky. I'd say it's a 30/70 garaged/ghetto ratio on the A-bodies I see. The nice ones are very very nice. The ghetto ones range from "well used" to "rolling environmental hazard". Cierras seem to have a better survival rate and are usually puttering along at 10 mph under the speed limit with Edgar or Mable Bluehair behind the wheel. Camries and Cressidas pre '92 are basically non-existent. So much so that Dominic and I found it remarkable to see a Cressida on the road last week and even admired the good condition it was in. The older Toyotas simply could not survive the winters in Pittsburgh. The 1992 and above body style seems to be their turning point. The A-bodies, many being ghetto, are still... unfortunately... on the road.

Because that would have been so different than all the other ads with cars driving around mountain roads or down long stretches of empty road......

define "real"

It's just old. It needs an MCE.

Toronado FTW

Sometimes I think people post ads like this simply to get more attention.... and hey look... it worked!

This is a feature GM needs to consider adding to more cars. It is unique in the market... I think. No other car has it right?

My beef with Toyota mostly involves them not being as great as their reputation makes them out to be. How many Toyota Cressidas do you still see milling around? How many Cutlass Cierras... or Buick Centurys of the same vintage do you see? I bet the number of of ~1985 vintage Cressidas + Camrys still running is less than the number of Cutlass Cierras alone.... much less the entire A-body lineup.

Happy Birthday Bu Baby

with the fed dropping interest rates like it has been, 0% financing may be back

LOL! A-body a "newer platform" ? A-bodies: Chevy Celebrity Pontiac 6000 Olds Cutlass Cierra Buick Century You could get the 3800 in certain Cutlass Cierra and Buick Century coupes. They are sleepers.... they go like snot.

You. are. an. IDIOT. The selection of surround sound CDs is minimal. You might as well be demanding that GM install a Mini-Disc player in the dash.

Consider.... yesterday was April 1st.

Holden offering you a job is like offering an alligator a baby sitting job..... only the alligator isn't so scaley.

One month after April 1st of course.....

I link to my own website all the time on there when listing apartments for rent.

Here ya go edit: Wow that makes the 5-er's butt look droopy.

I've strayed from GM only once with a 1985 Lincoln Continental.

for now....

OMG?!? That Holden isn't a real coupe! It has a B-pillar!

GM Suxors!!! Where's NAV? I needed to connect my phone to the NAV via Bluetooth so I could operate the rear view camera with the adjustable pedals! Leave it to GM to put out such a $h!ty car. At least they got rid of the pushrod engine so that when I wipe my ass with the dashboard it stays soft and supple.

If you can get yourself one of the later GM Goodwrench replacement engines... snag it. They have all of the upgrades that the engine should have gotten at the beginning and are fairly bullet proof.
