I don't think I'm on either of your lists simply because we didn't interact much. Good luck with your s

Not really, the Isuzu started as a crappy, yet slightly capable SUV.... turning it into an Acura didn't improve anything. The Yukon Denali is based off the already excellent Tahoe.

Individually, yes we do have our biases, but as a group we come up with some well reasoned, well fought out, ideas. My bias is towards Cadillac and Oldsmobile, so this doesn't affect me. I just want to see the van in the area it can do the most good and make the most profit inside a B-P-G dealer.... and to me, that place is with Buick. There needs to be an upscale minivan, and even with Denali, Buick is still more upscale than GMC.

WE should be GM's focus group. We'd excitedly do it for free AND likely give answers based on better rational.... especially if we were allowed to fight it out forum style first.

Buick should have the premium minivan to take on the Town & Country. Buick and Chrysler are as natural enemies as Chevy and Ford.

Norton Firewall is particularly bad software. There is perfectly good, free firewall software available from ZoneAlarm. Sure they want you to buy the premium versions, but that just adds unneeded complexity. Get the free version here.

Bone stock 1985 Oldsmobile Toronado with an LS-6 and some suspention mods. Wash, rinse repeat with a bone stock 1996 Fleetwood.

Fly! you missed the most important feature.... the shag pad

I've rented Devilles from the pre-quiet tuning era numerous times. I'm not sure what you're hearing, but at 80mph the Northstar is silent, there is no "constant growl". Heck, not even my CTS with a V6 which has to work harder has a "constant growl" and it's not quiet tuned either.

the 3.5 is a good engine, but sometimes oil filters are hard to find...

Riviera was a body style on the 50's buicks it designated the car as being a hardtop Similar to the holiday designation on the Oldsmobiles

Ya know, this thing goes on sale in a month and this is the first we've seen of it? What good are ya Chris!?

Interior looks stunning... exterior is evolutionary and kinda blah, doesn't scream premium like the others...... the steering wheel doesn't match the look of the rest of the interior. overall, B+

Holden's VE Commodore E-Series Gets to 60 in Under 5 Seconds MELBOURNE, Australia — Australia's Holden Special Vehicles has launched an E-Series performance sedan lineup based on the GM unit's freshly introduced VE Commodore. With a 0-62-mph time under five seconds, they are claimed to be the fastest Australia-made cars ever. The new HSV range includes Clubsport R8, GTS and Senator Signature models. All have been completely styled, modeled and engineered in-house by HSV. They feature aggressive body kits, spoilers and new, repositioned curved LED taillights. The change required a unique fascia and rear bumper assembly. The three-model range, with prices beginning at the U.S. equivalent of $48,000 for the Clubsport R8 and topping out at the equivalent $58,700 for the Senator Signature, is powered by a mildly modified version of the 6.0-liter LS2 V8 used in the previous series. Exhaust extractors increase power to 412 horsepower, and torque has been boosted to 406 pound-feet at 4400 rpm. All models are available with a six-speed automatic transmission; a six-speed manual is offered on the Clubsport R8 and the GTS. All have the latest Bosch ABS, traction control and electronic stability control, while the GTS and the Senator Signature also get magnetic ride control, which automatically adjusts suspension stiffness for improved cornering grip and handling. Road wheels are 19- or 20-inch alloys paired with a unique range of Bridgestone tires. What this means to you: Hot cars are always good news, anywhere in the world they occur.

1901 Oldsmobile

1938 Cadillac

He didn't ask the question which is the best selling car with the minimal amount of changes.... he asked which was the best selling nameplate. And yes... the most nameplates sold say Corolla

1966 Cadillac

1928 Pierce-Arrow

you've never visited Pittsburgh apparently...

The riv that came out with the Toronado was RWD.

This is better "breathing room" for GM than Toyota raising prices. Gives the 900's a head start. Puts the new Sienna out to 2010 or 11... at which time the Lambda vans should be out. Puts the new Avalon out to 2010 or 11... at which time the Zeta Lucurne should be out. Even the reported delaying of the Corolla could prove to be a boon for GM. Cobalts MCE is coming up soon, no?

no, they need it for nascar what, you'd want to see a bunch of camries on the track? pffft!

yuk!
