Then ask them why they're not selling LSes or Thunderbirds anymore. Ask GM why they're canceling/cutting most of the GMT360s in favor of the Lambdas

Do they ever pronounce *anything* correctly? -
well they haven't exactly been rolling in cash for the past few years.....

well it took all of 25 minutes for the bashing to start.....

I just got back from a trip to 2018 via my time machine and found this wikipedia article. **this article, while obviously not true, is a cut and paste from another wikipedia article documenting the fall of another distinctly American major U.S. industry. Only the names and dates have been changed.

uhm.... at this point, why don't they just recall all toyotas..... just in case.
-
'bout damn time..... cheepskate.

what good would that do, that'd be like the Titanic and the Lusitania tieing up to each other to prevent each other from sinking. Just because Ford and GM merged doesn't mean the holes wouldng still be there letting water rush in.

sterling or a early attempt at a hybrid. it's the cooling fans that get me, old electrical equipment was notorious for the amount of waste heat they generate. but the fans could also be used for the "cool" side of a sterling.

I think "I like the way you move" by bodyrockers would be better.

my point stands.

The 3800 is ULEV. If the 3800 can't meet the emission regs, then there are a *lot* of other engines out there that won't either.

The 2.8 is in the 9-3 and the CTS. 1 FWD and 1 RWD.

Why would Nissan inherit GM's legacy costs? Nissan wouldn't be using GM workers, they'd hire their own.

The quickest and easiest solution would be for GM to put the HF 2.8 in the Lacross as the base engine. It is a drop in replacement for the 3.6HF already in there. No other modifications would be needed.

For the same reason you can get a Chrysler Voyager. Chrysler, in their infinite wisdom decided that the parts of plymouth they were going to keep around would be badged Chrysler instead of Dodge. It doesn't make sense, they really should have just kept Plymouth.... It's not like the cars ended up at different dealers or anything.

What he said. If the base models of the 300 were a Plymouth Gran Fury, it would give some prestige back to the 300.

mostly because your personalities are so similar :AH-HA_wink:

How about we make a C&G top 10 overrated cars and underrated cars.... though I predict now that all 10 underrated cars will be GMs.

If nothing else, FWD has been more efficient in both packaging and fuel economy for years. I don't know if the inequity in fuel efficiency has been removed, but "the hump" is still an issue for many buyers.

Old enough to pee, old enough for me
-
Which gutless wonder will it be? None of Chrysler's V6s are all that spectacular on low end torque.....
-
Unless they've seriously upgraded the engine in the Wrangler, that 4-door will be a SLUG. On vacation in Florida, Chas and I rented an extended Wrangler. Even with the 6, acceleration was barely adequate.
