November 10, 200619 yr Obviously everyone is looking forward to what we KNOW is coming. The 08 CTS, 08 Malibu, production Enclave, etc. But I'm talking about surprises. Honestly, I'd love to see, at least in concept form, a RWD sedan for Pontiac. Nothing would tickle me more than the hope that GM will give me a BMW 3-series-sized-Pontiac-priced RWD sedan.
November 10, 200619 yr an announcement that as the current vehicles with pushrod V6es finish their product cycles, the pushrods will be replaced with OHC engines. Edited November 10, 200619 yr by Oldsmoboi
November 10, 200619 yr Production sneak peek at the Cadillac SIXTEEN (V16) It HAS to be a four door hardtop, and all the individual details must remain intact, even the butterfly hood. Cost is not a problem, even if it is half a million dollar$ it will be less than half of the only other sixteen cylinder car on the market. Also, for a great deal less, like say $100,000 a V12 powered "Eldorado Brougham" or "Fleetwood Biarritz" that would be a kind of a modern day '57/'58 Eldorado Erougham. Basically it would be a way of saying F**K YOU, YOU SUCK! to all the over priced POS exotic sedans like RR & Bentley!
November 10, 200619 yr mini wagon kappa like chevy nomad for production. Get a kappa with room for 4 and space for travel bags.
November 10, 200619 yr A Chevy Cobalt with variety, passenger-cargo room, optimal standard/optional equipment, and an Easy-Entry front passenger's seat that even the crummy Cavalier had, yet Cobalt doesn't, thus making an even more difficult task to get to the back seat. There's much more, but that's all I could think of at the moment. Oh yeah, and some Buicks that aren't solely for the AARP crowd-LaCrosse and Lucerne just don't fully speak 'new Buick' to me. And Lucerne doesn't even look like a Buick, it looks like an elegant Chevy.
November 10, 200619 yr Three words: RWD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i want a rear wheel drive pontiac that is bigger than a minute. Bring back the Grand LeMans!!!! No, not the 80's version. The '73-'77 model something with a longer hood and a V8. Please Please Please Please Please!!!!! Me love you long time.
November 10, 200619 yr Sexy RWD Pontiac sedan and surprise production Nomad would be awesome, I agree.

November 10, 200619 yr Solstice fastback coupe, with a high output version of the 2.4L. Call it a Solstice GT maybe? No Solstices with football helmets please. G6 with AWD. Edited November 10, 200619 yr by ToniCipriani
November 10, 200619 yr New Hummer vehicle(s); Hummer H4, the seen-in-spy-shots H3 SUT, longbead Hummer Pickup. Also, the facelifted STS and Saab 9-4x. EDIT: Also, Camaro prototype, Firebird/GTO concept/prototype Pontiac G8, next Vibe, ect. Edited November 10, 200619 yr by MarioBro88
November 10, 200619 yr Almost everything I want to see from GM already is out or will be out in the next few years. Camaro Cobalt SS Turbocharged Coupe Saturn SKY RedLine GMC Acadia Zeta Impala Zeta Pontiac sedan NG GTO NG CTS I guess the only thing I now long for is an AWD performance coupe, but who knows what they've got in the pipeline with Zeta...
November 10, 200619 yr Do you have any actual content to add? 214316[/snapback] When others add the content I would have added... There's no need to be repetitive.
November 10, 200619 yr high mileage cars are the future. as GM is finally jumping into the RWD party, they also need to cover small cars that have great mileage. a civic competitor with 30 mpg city like empowah stated is a great necessity......if they can get an engine that performs like that into a great platform that matches the civic's great engineering.....and then make a small convertible off of that platform, they'll cover yet another massive part of the market looking for standard commuter cars. cobalt is good, but not enough, and it is too derivative and plain in its style, needs more style.
November 10, 200619 yr RWD Pontiacs, small medium and large SS Silverado and Tahoe RWD Impala Hummer H3t Solstice fastback coupe Buick sport sedan smaller than LaCrosse, RWD
November 11, 200619 yr Zeta!! Chevy Zetas, Pontiac Zetas, Buick Zetas, lots of Zetas! -Zeta rant aside, I'm very interested in the Lambda vans. Maybe a PreLambda? -An Eldorado from Cadillac -More hydrogen/alt. energy vehicles -Ion replacement -the Holden Efijy would be nice as well
November 11, 200619 yr There's lots of stuff I'd like to see, but what I'd really like to see is that everything GM shows is world-class.
November 11, 200619 yr - A mainstream car that will make GM money because it is class-leading with no compromises: 2008 Chevy Malibu - NG CTS - Production Camaro - Production Enclave - NG Impala: I have high hopes for this car - GM's solution to hybrids Edited November 11, 200619 yr by KillFort
November 11, 200619 yr I would like to see the future v6 with more than 300 bhp like lexis, infinity and bmw. It is also important for me to see GM to use DOD and direct ingection on all of its engines for better fuel economy and power.
November 11, 200619 yr Something new for Buick -- the Enclave is very nice, but we need to see new CARS and get some excitement building for the big investments GM has said they're making. Buick needs a serious boost. Pontiac is second on the list - lets see a new GTO or Grand Prix.
November 11, 200619 yr I'd like to see the new 6-speed A/T across the range on all V6 and V8 vehicles. Heck even a 5-speed for the 4 cyls, would at least get GM with the times...
November 11, 200619 yr a ready for sale aura redline coupe with, better brakes, the vectra HID headlamps, vectra OPC front fascia and an engine/tranny combo that has more balls and isnt so thirsty. like maybe, the SIDI 3.6 and a 5 or 6 speed manual. id settle for a sedan, tho.
November 11, 200619 yr A prius competitor & a rwd 2+2 or 2+3 Kappa. Both will improve GMs "green" image.
November 11, 200619 yr I want to see a Duramax V8 with 6 speed allison tranny Suburban, Yukon and Escalade. I also want to see a baby Duramx, V6 with a proper 6 speed tranny in the trucks and mid size suv's. The baby Duramax V6 already exist being sold by Isuzu and I am sure they could have a 4 banger for the market also. Diesel is the way to go.
November 11, 200619 yr EV2. Gm will have an electric vehicle there that gets 80 MPG. Surely though the Enclave will be there.
November 11, 200619 yr 2008 Saturn Astra maybe? Clay models? A stylish Chevy car and truck concept (and Pontiac, Buick, GMC, Saturn) that will outline styling directions for all.
November 11, 200619 yr a pontiac concept. to showcase future styling for the brand. 214489[/snapback] Not to mention an actual, worthwhile future for Pontiac, something they don't have without Zeta. Also, how about a production GM Precept or at least another quirky hybrid concept car that should go to production.
November 11, 200619 yr Along with an outstanding RWD Impala, how about a four-door convertible? Don't worry about a complex and expensive convertible hardtop, just make the soft-top high-quality, easy to put up and down, and not volumous (doesn't take up much trunk room).
November 11, 200619 yr - Chevy Sequel Production Version - RWD Impala Concept - RWD Chevelle Concept - NG GTO - 08 Malibu - Chevy Lambda - NG Minivan Concept - Saturn Astra - Epsilon II Buick LaCrosse (w/convertible) - RWD Grand Prix/G8 - MCE Chevy Cobalt - MCE Pontiac G6 - NG Saab 9-5 Concept - Hummer H4 Production Version
November 12, 200619 yr I am hoping that GM will give us a nice production RWD car!!!!!!!!!!!! A fuel efficient RWD will be a great addition to the GM lineup. Hey, maybe a "REAL" midsize truck because that Colorado is pure junk. When is that platform going to the grave??
November 12, 200619 yr Don't kick me, but the practical side of me wants to see a 08 Malibu Maxx with a DI 3.6 and a 6-speed manual...
November 12, 200619 yr EV2. Gm will have an electric vehicle there that gets 80 MPG. Surely though the Enclave will be there. 214552[/snapback] Um... just curious...If it's an electric vehicle, where does the miles per gallon come from?? Don't kick me, but the practical side of me wants to see a 08 Malibu Maxx with a DI 3.6 and a 6-speed manual... 214766[/snapback] The Maxx is going out in the next-gen Malibu. Edited November 12, 200619 yr by ToniCipriani
November 12, 200619 yr id like to see another revolutionary innovation. maybe a safety device or an onstar addition. some new braking technology might be nice. you know, one of those why didnt i think of it first kind of things. (and just to beat out the wise asses.. id be nice to see gm cars have a reputation throughout the country and world for braking instead of how too many people think of gm cars only as breaking. ) Edited November 12, 200619 yr by Mr.Krinkle
November 12, 200619 yr Um... just curious... If it's an electric vehicle, where does the miles per gallon come from?? The Maxx is going out in the next-gen Malibu. 214794[/snapback] the small bore gas engine that runs the generator to recharge the batteries.
November 12, 200619 yr Wow, drew770 is such a sweet boy. A bit clueless, perhaps. 214746[/snapback] Never clueless but smart. Gas prices are on the rise again and the Colorado sales are behind Tacoma and the Frontier! So what's clueless?
November 13, 200619 yr Up above the Malibu Maxx was mentioned...I know it is leaving us soon. However, I wish there were more options in the GM lineup for sporty wagons. I need more space for my family, but refuse to drive an SUV. Don't get me wrong, my wife has an Envoy and it is great. But I just like a nice handling car versus an taller vehicle such as the Equinox and larger SUVs. I was happy when Subaru was part of the GM family, but now all I'm left with is the 9-3 and 9-5 sportcombis...(read: poor reliability/small and too expensive respectively).
November 13, 200619 yr Aside from what we know is coming (Malibu, Enclave, CTS, etc), I'm going to go out on a limb and say we'll see a "production spec" Camaro coupe and convertible, kind of like how we saw the Solstice in '04. I think we may also see Chevy, Pontiac, and maybe Buick Zeta-based "concepts". I think a refreshed Cobalt is a possibility, as is a refreshed Colorado.
November 14, 200619 yr NG G6, along with the G8, and a new G5. A new GTO along with a crossover for Pontiac that comes out in 2009! The Astra, 'Bu, EPII LaCrosse, another smaller (streched delta) Buick Sedan. EPII 9-3/5 Concepts! and a letter from GM saying that not all brands will get EVERY platform (ie. EPII, lambda, delta, and Zeta)
