The Impala vert comes in White with red interior too in the JL Musclecars series. Im not a big fan of the brown on brown in this release. If you want it as a coupe, its in teal with black vinyl roof or light yellow with black vinyl roof (coming soon).

They usually release 2 in a set, and I suspect the other MC might have more stock looking paint, but I havent seen it yet.

So I was feeling inspired a bit...

Does anyone else read Pontiac Enthusiast?
Ive subscribed for a while. While I still enjoy the mag it was much better when it printed on the higher quality paper. I still have a bunch of those issues put away because of their cool coverage of old concepts and studio drawings.

Are the W bodies gone yet?
Thank you. And FWD or RWD or AWD is each person's preference. I like to say that I have spent time in both FWD & RWD and can appreciate each in their differences.

You made me go to the basement and dig up the 3.5 disc with this pic. This is quite the thread, as most of the cars I have owned have been mentioned here for good or bad. Had an '81 Regal with 3.8L. Nice looking, horrible engine. Then came '85 Celebrity Eurosport. Again, nice car, reliable, kind sporty but still economical with the 2.8L. Worked well as college car. Then '88 Cutlass International probably my second favorite W-car I have owned. Great car despite first MY fears. Everything done right, and loved the little touches. Then '94 Cutlass Supreme (3.4 DOHC), if '88 was good, '94 should be better, right? Not necessarily. Having owned them back to back I could see every cost reduction that was done between '88 and '94 and didnt like many of them. Still a distinctive car on the road and I kind of miss this car for the looks alone. Then there was a Bonneville SSEi, not really part of this discussion, but maybe my favorite car of all. Then '04 GP GTP - yes the SC3800 was beautiful powertrain. The interior left some to be desired. And now of course the '06 GP GXP. Gotta love a V8, and interior improvements help this car over the '04. Throw in a '69 442 to the mix and I have had some fun in my GM cars. Now, that said, I too couldnt stomach the FWD move when it happened. But you know, in snow its great. And you can have some fun in FWD if you spend enough time getting to know how the car handles. Since I have been driving a W-car since 1991, with the excpetion of the SSEi years, I have gotten to know them pretty well, and I think I can hustle these cars around pretty good at this point. Especially now with FE4 on the GXP. You just learn to adjust to the way the car reacts.

I don't know. I kind of liked the hidden handles in the Cutlass coupe. Made the door clean without handle. And the seatbelts were a poor answer to automatic seatbelts. Agreed there that was a bad idea from the get go. As far as the interiors, I loved my '88 Cutlass International. It was a durable cloth, not the weird velour of so many cars. And it has style, as the cloth had striping in the material. And the air bag seat adjustments were just right. All in all I really liked that ineterior, even the 2+2 seating with rear center console.

2007 Hot Wheels
Yeah, I picked up the blue TA but havent seen the maroon GN. The Ram & Challenger have also both been released in a dark red. The Charger is out in a rust orange. The Ferrari 250 is out in (what else?) bright red. The Ferrari 599 is out in black and the Cayman in silver.
