A couple of members I miss having around the site
Anyone here can also scour the news sites and add links to articles also. Though I don't wright I share what interests me at times. If others did this maybe we would have more content to discuss. Some peruse obscure sites that have info not found elsewhere that would be of interest.

Some standards I'd like to see the industry adopt
That kinda sounds like "You don't want to cure Diabetes, Cancer, COPD... you'll put the drug company's out of work that's bad for the economy" If they go out of business then the market has determined its course. If the EPA/NHTSA edicts it then Gov. has determined the markets course, there's a big difference there.

Fun topic: Ford, GM, or Chrysler?
Camino that 69 brings back memories and so does the white one. A paper route customer of mine had a 70 white car that I obsessed over the 6 years that they were my customer. I don't recall ever seeing that shade of green very different and tho I am turned off by green it looks cool in the sea of popular colors that people paint their cars anymore. I'd vote for the white car as it's not a true GS car and a daily driver already. They don't state if it's a Stage 1 engine though I could remedy that

GM will stick with European operation, but sharpen scalpel again
Until about six weeks ago GM Europe's Opel-Vauxhall was making steady progress towards sunlit uplands, with breakeven in 2011 and a nice little profit promised next year. But Europe's sudden economic skid towards crisis has undermined prospects for car sales next year, and suddenly the forecasts are awash with red ink. The alarm bells are ringing and General Motors is parachuting Detroit heavy hitters into Opel headquarters in Germany to take control. Now, experts are saying Opel-Vauxhall (Opel-badged cars sell across mainland Europe; the same cars with Vauxhall logos sell in Britain, its biggest European market) must slash costs again, shut factories and maybe reopen talks with the unions to cut wages. The sudden crisis has prompted the question of GM's intentions for Opel-Vauxhall, again, but the consensus is that it might be a chronic loss-maker, but GM isn't about to bail out. And because of Europe's economic malaise, the oft predicted car industry shakeout might finally be at hand, not surprising when everyone admits there is at least 30 percent overcapacity. This seems a bit unfair on Opel-Vauxhall, which has made steady progress recently compared with its main competitors. This was not before time, given that it lost $14.5 billion since 1999, and saw market share in Europe gradually dissolve. In the first nine months of 2011, GM Europe's Opel, Vauxhall and Chevrolet subsidiaries increased market share to 8.7 percent from 8.5 percent in the same period of 2010, with sales 0.5 percent higher at 857,200, according to Automotive Industry Data (AID). Its main competitors in the European mass car market are Peugeot-Citroen and Renault of France, and Italy's Fiat. The French have seen sales dive more than seven percent in this period, while Fiat's sunk 11.6 percent. Ford Europe's sales slid 3.6 percent, according to AID.
