Shure its small and seems silly. Drive that SUV at 90 mph with it on the highway. Then remove it and drive it again at the same speed. That little peace of plastic makes a BIG difference.

Give it AWD as an opt. and THAT COULD REALLY be SOMETHING!!---(RETURN OF THE WAGON--KILL THE MINIVAN!!)

I am a NON P.C. NON METROSEXUAL OLDFASHION OFFENSIVELY CONSERVATIVE SEXIST CHIVALROUS HETEROSEXUAL PIG BASTARD and PROUD OF IT!! :P

Well being that ZETA is comeing back now and there have been rumbleings about a 350HP upgrade for the 5.3 I simply put the two together. I should have refered to that in my post in what it was I was trying to say. I do think the 4.8L V8 should be moved from the fullsize truck "instead of droped" and used in FWD or RWD "non Caddy" cars. It has less torque then the present FWD Imp SS/GP GXP 5.3L V8 = better for FWD and with DOD could use less fuel then a SC 3.9L V6. I also think the 4.8L should be used in the COLORADO/CANYON smaller trucks as an opt over the 3.5L I5. Why should they KILL this good V8 only becouse its not to be used in the BIG trucks in the future? They should keep the 4.8L in production by useing it in the small trucks then use it as a simple upgrade (non SS/GXP) over the 3.9L V8 first in a Buick La Crosse Ultra.

Solstice/Sky LS7 = NEW GEN SHELBY COBRA 427? Keep the 391 to 1 axel ratio and use a GM 6sp Manual and OH BOY!!---0-60 3.2ish!?!? :o B)

Now if GM would EXPAND this idea into the way they ENGINEAR their platforms they would REALLY HAVE SOMETHING! Like bringing back their idea they had with the Buick Bingle. The TRANSMISION ahead of the Engine moveing the front axel line forward on FWD cars. With this they could build them ALL to be FWD/RWD/AWD on the same platform. Design them all that way FROM THE BEGINING so that with the axel line forward when compaired to todays FWD cars the spaceing would allow for more space under the hood for the FWD RWD AWD configuration. It would be REVELUTIONARY and it would WORK!!

Great Consept!!---Stupid Name!! Dont use it BUICK!!---The NAME I MEAN!! :huh:

3V!! Or just freshin up the 4.8L V8 instead with an alluminum block DOD and 300HP. Use the 5.3 with 350HP and MORE TORQUE as a PERFORMANCE OPT. and the 4.8L as a simple upgrade over the NA 3.9L in the big FWD non Caddy models.

Nice nose job. But today it SHOULD have been (COUNTRYPERSON!) To please the P.C. PINCO COMMIES! :lol: :P

:o An SUV SPORTS COUPE? :o What next a CONVERTABLE MINIVAN??

EL CAMHHRO??----HHR CAMINO??----EL HHROOO??

SO Smart and Jeep have been BREADING??

So I guess there will be NO U.S. BUILT ZETA's?? Even though they dont really say (THIS) they only refered to Australia in the artical. Will they build a new/or retrofit an old factory here? Or will they build them all down under?--------I WONDER!! <_< Eather way WE NEED THEM!!

OH GOD!!----------------It will be BURNT INTO MY BRAIN-----------------(((FOR EVER!!)))----------------SWEET GOD IN-----------------OH GOD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

OH GREAT!! The CHICOMMIES get that but WE DONT get our CAPRICE!!----FIGURES!! <_< :angry:

IS THAT A HOOD SCOOP?? :blink:On a S10?? :huh:

No Epsilon ((AKA FWD)) Caddy!! :angry:If anything do a sub CTS cpe. sdn. on a modified KAPPA useing the CTS's 2.8L & 3.6L V6's then do the next CTS with the 3.6L V6 and 4.6L NS V8 with a MANUAL TRANS OPT. Move the CTS slitely up market and drop the V6 model from the STS line. A smaller ATS model in RWD form would be better then ANY FWD CADDY!! They spent 4 BILLION to do the CORRECT THING DONT MESS THAT UP NOW GM!!---((((NO BLS!!)))

Lets just be REAL HERE!!----SMALL--FWD--='s ((((CHICK CAR!!)))) With only the RAIR RWD car. Usually ((CUTEISH!!)) as if it were a BABY version of a larger car. NUF SAID!! :rolleyes:

Yes I was aware of that. I never mutch liked TIMEING BELTS eather prefering TIMEING CHAINS myself. <_< It seems to me that back in the day they dident use a starting belt instead useing the flyweel for LOGICAL REASONS. Turning a AC compressor/Alternator/power stearing pump ect. is one thing. But ((STARTING THE ENGINE))!?!? I dont know!! <_<It better be ONE HELL OF A BELT!! :huh:

Corvette/European Sports Car--BITCH CAR?? ARE THEY ((MADD!!)) 1999 Olds 88--FAG CAR//---((WHAT!!)) They are just A--HOLES!! :angry: --VW Golf vert! The ULTIMATE CHICH CAR!!---PS a friend of mine just BLEW THE DOORS off a 1970's 911 with his MEAR FWD 1995 Olds 88!!---FAG CAR MY BUT!!

Is it JUST ME or does a BELT STARTER sound REALLY SCARY??----((BELT STARTER??)) :huh: :unsure:

I misread it. I was expecting something about a really SWEET INLINE 6!!-- <_< --Oh WELL! :(

White early/mid 80's VW Golf Convertable!

If it was not for Insurance and the ((PERCEVED)) idea that V8's mean BAD FUEL ECONOMY with these BAAAAAD fuel price's. Allong with some NORMALY ASPERATED three and a half liter V6's putting out 300+HP now I would agree with you. But SADDLY these things are TRUE! I would LOVE for GM to find a good use for the 4.8L V8 "WITH OVER 300HP" in the future. Like a G6 GXP or TRUE Malibu SS or a Premium ULTRA version of the La Crosse but they look to be KILLING IT instead! <_<

Because 60's styling was superior to todays styling! http://www.cheersandgears.com/public/style_emoticons//AH-HA_wink.gif
