I'm going to have to disagree with F-O-G on this one. It wasn't that Ford was healthy... it was just that the money hadn't run out yet. A healthy Ford doesn't bring out the 1996 Taurus then only give it a mild makeover to try and correct things. A healthy Ford doesn't let Mercury and Lincoln wither on the vine. A healthy Ford doesn't bring us a production Thunderbird but leave the Continental in the "concept" stage. A healthy Ford doesn't bring out the Excursion only to cancel it 4 years later. A healthy Ford.... well.. you get the point.

The Swap-a-Lease listing is now up.

I think he is suggesting that if GM has to build the diesels for Europe anyway, why not sell them here also.

love it!

supply and demand....... but as you can see, these pics are of substantially higher quality.

This is all part of my master plan to really be a 2009 CTS-D driver.

Sure, I'll e-mail you the pics for $50.

Check them out while they're hot

GMTruckguy.... the vanity plate for you should be some variation of "THELIMIT" as in... the Sky's The Limit.

Cerberus Showing Intersted in Jaguar. Cerberus Capital Management could be coming around for another bite of the automotive apple, creating the potential for the organization of a new auto company, which would include more than just Chrysler.

As if they actually had plans for refinery expansion. There is enough of an oligopoly now that they can restrict production to drive the price up because there is not enough capacity. It's in the oil companies financial best interest to NOT build new refineries.

Note to Nissan.... it's not the engine.

*note to self; don't put any car I actually plan on keeping in the ground for 50 years*

F-O-G, I've never been much of an F-body fan. I'd take the biggest, softest, quietest, Oldsmobile, Buick, or Cadillac, jew canoe over an F-body any day..... but when I opened this thread and saw your cars, I thought "Damn, those are hot!". I don't really have anything to contribute for vanity plate ideas... just wanted to pay the compliment.

oh... I was just joking because of those balloons in the background..... damn... what a waist of a snarky comment....

This is the car for people who want a Town Car but can't afford it and only want to buy new so they can get the warranty.

How does looking like a 3 or 4 year old BMW make something like the Aura or the Fusion or heck even the Camry look dated?

I can't imagine why you'd need... or want... a truck engine to go 6500rpm.

Now get me a 2.8 litre turbo diesel CTS.

About the same HP as the 5.3 with 200ft/lbs more torque. put a 6-speed behind it with a VEEERY high final gear and see a 30mpg truck.

We've been slacking around here of late.....

Lambda Car club meet?

I usually just throw french fries out the sunroof

Hmm.... I am looking to replace the avalanche....
