The Future of Buick - Autoweek
i guess if you can throw 40 grand on a car what kind of a difference would it make to have a 2000 dollar rebate on it? pretty much dont seem to be hurting for money obviously. if a 2 or 3K dollar rebate gets a 28K buick off the lot who cares?

why does everything have to die? at this rate we only have chevy pontiac gmc and saturn and caddy... maybe lexus should die... why pay that much for a toyota?

factory v8 has me giddy but i'll wait for the new body style to come out. my 04 has a yr and 10 months on the book still and just a v8 doesnt justify 5 more years. i am however interested to see that black granite metallic on the lot.

thats my biggest fear. the s-10 stayed esentually the same from 94 all the way to 2004... 10 years is a long time for a designed to be running around. my buddy has an 07 ranger and even he complains about the styling being unchanged.

thats the way i see it, the caprice is posh with a refined powertrain, woodgrain interior leather only and all the bells and whistles. the impala on the other hand with different trim from entry level up to super sport status with a healthy V8. in the 60's ( since GM has been on a heritage click with some of the comercials) biscayne, belair, impala, caprice.

The Future of GM Powertrains
weight could be an issue with the interior too though right? if the car is all electric the less it weighs the better because that could in turn determine a 100 mile trip or a longer trip. all that fancy ooh and ahh crap may just add ballast or just pull more on the batteries. http://www.teslamotors.com/styling/cockpit/cockpit.php

why couldnt it be labeled caprice? it was initially the most luxurious chevy you could get. it was a step above impala... granted the older trim levels are completely disorganized now. as long as it is pulled off right whats the harm with caprice?

The Future of GMC - Autoweek
i got a colorado, as far as the gmc canyon goes, there needs to be something besides GMC on the front that warrents the nearly 2 grand more price tag bewteen it and the colorado that is equally equipped. the syclone idea is a go in my book those things are nasty.

Preview: 2008 Civic MUGEN Si sedan
as hard core gm i am i do not look to a cobalt ss for performance. they are nice but you are right, why pay that much for a cobalt when others can be had for cheaper. its easy to sell 1000 vehicles. the GTO's downfall was price, excellent demonstration. the shelbys and the vette pacecars if taken care of could constitute a higher resale value down the road say 10 or 15 years. but i also said "every redlight" not every stock sedan.

cant understand the looks fast rational of it all. why look like that and then get pwned at every redlight by stock sedans. $30 grand will get you a nice late model z28 or gt with enough left over for a trubo/supercharger and a suspension setup. hello 11-12 time slips. and they'll get 20mpg easy

Buick Bringing Brown Back
got that right. for almost a year i thought they only made silver colored vehichles... thats why my colorado is sunburst orange. wanted yellow but i knew even i would get tired of that in a year. i still get tons of compliments on the orange. the brown on the new silverados is not favorable, this brown does a good job of accentuating the bodylines.

Spotted New Challenger Today
actually... car and driver or import trend (cant remember which) did a comparison against 04 stang and an 04 goat... the goat barely bested the mustang but they still gave the overall win to ford because of the price issue. by the way... what does the past 3 pages have to do with the challenger spy shots? i feel like i am at freakin streetfire reading comments after a video.

Spotted New Challenger Today
i got a ricer buddy who has a car i actually respect, he had a 4 banger with 11.0:1 and 380 dyno'd power. of course he came around and realized there is no replacement for displacement and got himself an 01 ZO6 now thats been stroked. i like the sti's too dont get me wrong, but that fart in a coffee can sound just doesnt do to me what a v8 such as what is in this all business challenger is surely going to sound like. turn the key and its instant turn your head and look.

Nissan Recalls 140,582 Altimas
can we compare nissan to the ford Exploder fiasco with Firestone then? hehe as for wrecked exotics, that site turns my stomach whenever i go there... 70% of the cars wrecked are a case of too much car, not enough driver... in my opinion.
