When will the GTO concept appear?
Not sure about NA, but Holden is doing it already. Buick Royaum in China is a Holden Statesman. I would assume any future generations will be the same.

2007 Dodge Caliber
The rear end still reminds me of the departed Optra sedan.

Exclusive: 2007 Chrysler Sebring Revealed
Spy pictures don't do justice. I remember a while ago several spied vehicles have fake greenhouses. So just wait till the final product.

A much nicer looking Imperial?
Hmm... That looked familiar...

Buick Lucerne Golf Cart
Hey that's not right... 4 portholes for a 3.8? Damn... they should've built it around a Velite...

Fuel Economy Display
How often should it be reset? And the average speed display? I've never used these things before.

Round speaker-like thing on door
I just figured out. They are speakers. The fith and sixth speaker. I was mislead by my friend that the rear doors have speakers, but they don't.

What's happening with the Camaro?
Here's an overheard conversation between a Chevrolet engineer and a GM marketing weenie: MARKETING: How's the new Camaro coming along? ENGINEERING: Good. Quick little car. Features LS7 V8- MARKETING: V8? You know what those things cost? ENGINEERING: Yeah, but they improve performance. MARKETING: Hm. (takes pinch of cocaine from his snuff box) Tell you what: we'll have three models and only put this V8 one on the high-end SS (snorts). The base one will come with an Ecotec. ENGINEERING: But that'll degrade the performance badly. MARKETING: So what? If these people want performance, they can do what I did: get their parents to pay for it. They can buy a Cadillac. What do we care? ENGINEERING: But - MARKETING: Look, this comes direct from the bean counters upstairs. And they're certified marketing geniuses. ENGINEERING: (mumbles) A certified something. MARKETING: Now. How about the platform. ENGINEERING: (hopefully) RWD with 6-speed? MARKETING: No, we have this FWD thing now. Much cheaper - er - better. ENGINEERING: What about the torque steer that it brings? MARKETING: Get rid of RWD. We don't need RWD anymore. ENGINEERING: (incredulous) Get rid of it? Every Camaro we shipped was RWD. MARKETING: (reaching for pain killers) Not anymore. Oh yeah, while you're at it, clear up the stock of 4T40 Hydramatics we have left over from discontinuing the Cavalier. [Exit ENGINEER. Goes to computer, opens up web browser and logs onto C&G, where people understands, and responds sympathetically]. Adapted from Insanely Great Macs and modified by me (An attempt of a tasteless joke of what we don't want to see of the Camaro.)

G5
Unique interior including the dashboard... as in replacing all the bulbs and LEDs with red?? I think that's what they are thinking right now.

Lexus ES pictures
That center stack is just... ugh.

Musicians Chat Here
I ain't no musician, ever since I went back to Hong Kong for high school. Too much work there for me to have anything other than school work. When I was a kid, I was part of a children's choir, and played the violin. All because of Hong Kong families, my parents always try to force me to learn something musical back then... It was just a trend.

Keyless Remotes
My G6 is equipped with remote start. Is it possible to program a remote without the remote start button with my car? I wanted to get an extra remote without the button so I don't play with it too much

Opel GT pictures...
So will Vauxhall get one, since the concept originated from it?

CIVIC si THE BELOVED COTY
Well, you have to understand this IS a GM forum... If you want to start a rebellion, you'd expect resistance.

Literature: Do You Appreciate it?
It's when pigs fly when you see me doing quiet reading. Only manuals or technical books.

Cologne
I have nasal allergies, so I avoid things like this. I even don't like going around people who put perfume. Makes my nose very itchy.

G5
Camry is 189.2 long.Corolla is 178.3 long. If by your terms, 9 inches is not much difference, then the Camry and Corolla are the same size.

GM Store
Don't use the screwdriver provided. I used my own screwdriver, and the hood closes with the screw in place. Here's mine. Got it today at Zellers. I registered it in Ontario with UW plates, just like my elder son
-
G5
Almost the same car?? You gotta be f***ing kidding. The Pursuit and G6 are whole different. Size, proportions, nothing are identical.
-
G5
But the chop's roofline different from the Cobalt. I would say Lordstown will consider that different enough to be two cars altogether. And as AH-HA said later, don't put our hopes high. My, I'm getting pessimistic.

OK, briefly, do you like...
It's too Jaguar/MB wannabe. I much prefer the Lucerne's or the Velite's.

Cadillac planning BLS-based entry-level station
I don't get it. Didn't they say they will move all production out of Sweden? Then why does Trollhattan gets BLS SportCombi?
-
G5
Recalling... Now I'm confused. If it's the Cobalt, then why different sheetmetal? Unless the Cobalt's getting a redesign.

CIVIC si THE BELOVED COTY
Oh BTW... I got confused with the GC designation. At first sight I thought it was Grand Caravan SRT-8
