January 12, 200620 yr What vehicle should General Motors have that they aren't producing now? Woah, HarleyEarl... is that the new Epica/Verona/Magnus in your sig? I must have missed the debut; I thought we only had spy pics of it so far.
January 12, 200620 yr What vehicle should General Motors have that they aren't producing now? A Chevrolet that not only competes with Toyora Camry and Honda Accord, but exceeds them in every way.
January 12, 200620 yr *takes a deep breath* Pontiac... ME sports coupe (Fiero), FR compact coupe/sedan/hatch (Grand Am), FR midsize coupe/sedan/hatch (Grand Prix), FR fullsize sedan/hatch (Bonneville), FR sports coupe/conv (GTO), and FR sports crossover (Torrent). Not all are missing, so basically it's my ideal lineup. Whatever...
January 12, 200620 yr Buick Electra 225. Make it a big RWD sedan with all the trimmings. Large-displacement V8 with 6-speed ATX. Price it similar to the Chrysler 300C, but make it prettier, with plenty of color, chrome and wood trim inside.
January 12, 200620 yr Again... many: Camaro Cobalt 5 door Monte Carlo Kappa 5 seat car (think Nomad) ION
January 12, 200620 yr Ignoring all the vehicles that are in the pipeline (NG Malibu, Aura, "probably" the Camaro): the Cien a Cobalt convertible a RWD full-sized Buick (at least as big as a Lucerne) a mid-engined car for Pontiac, in the sprit of the original MR-2 a Kappa Saab a Wrangler-like Hummer a Saturn coupe or sedan with a V8
January 12, 200620 yr Modern day Caprice (affordable RWD sedan). This guy knows what's he's talking about. We've got the Camry/Solara/Avalon/Accord/Maxima wannabe with the Impala, Monet Carlo, Lacrosse & Grand Prix... I know they seem like good products but just STOP trying to beat the Japanese at their own game. Chryler figured it out why can't you GM? The way to get back a lot of sales is to build American cars for Americans. Make a plus-size Charger/300 competitor for all three midline divisions: Buick, Pontiac and of course Chevrolet. RWD full size interior & exterior looks that can be mistaken for nothing other than a American sedan/coupe claasic names form the glory days... no "CXR" or "GPS" call them Biscayne, Chevelle, LeSabre, Invicta, Regal, Bonneville, Grand Prix, Catalina or even... *gasp* Caprice Classic.
January 12, 200620 yr A better compact than the Aveo - a modern version of the Saturn S-Series, without the oil burning issues.
January 12, 200620 yr Everyone except Z will recieve gifts when I win the lottery this summer. That's what you get for not saying Fiero/ME Pontiac... The most important car in the world. Bastards... Another one that's missing is a car based truck, like Bobo mentioned.
January 12, 200620 yr Riviera Toronado Eldorado All large two-doors with four-seater options and convertible variants. Period.
January 12, 200620 yr Author I think the most glaring missing vehicle in GM's lineup is a large rwd Buick, and I like the idea of calling it the Electra like someone earlier suggested. Edited January 13, 200620 yr by HarleyEarl
January 12, 200620 yr I'll just add something for those wishing for a large RWD Buick. If I ever get my ass into gear and finish it, I have a sketch of one that I plan on calling Invincta (v2.0). Started it a few months ago...
January 13, 200620 yr What vehicle should General Motors have that they aren't producing now? Monte Carlo *chuckles* Ya know, I was going to post this last night, but I figured I'd better not. Glad you did, Mr. NOS . Cort, "Mr MC" / "Mr Road Trip", 32swm/pig valve/pacemaker MC:family.IL.guide.future = http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort/ Models.HO = http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort/trainroom.html What's it like to buy your favorite car brand new? Wish I knew...
