De Lorenzo: It's all over but the hand-wringing for Pontiac
I ran into this: http://news.windingroad.com/countriesmarke...ed-undisguised/ Yes I know, it's an Opel, but the rear really resembles the G6 Coupe, and somewhat of a good G6 on my mind. Here's an idea: bring the 5-door over as well, give the 4-door to Saturn as the Aura, then give this slightly different bodywork to give it a bit more muscle (a la new Mazda6), THEN badge it a Pontiac. I'll take this over a Pontiac Corsica.

Well I bought mine new, and yes, everyone around me calls me an idiot to pay 30k for an American, but honestly I don't give a crap. I'm planning to keep my car, not reselling it.

Didn't know they scrap G6s like that... I know quite a few people who drive ex-rental G6s.

Solstice Coupe/Targa spotted in the real world
Not sure about the antenna. The one on the roof could be for OnStar, the one on the fender for the FM radio. And yes the S2000 CR is so much practical... This car isn't even supposed to be.

So what about an Epsilon II G6?
It's not just going to "reappear", I'm sure they're doing some more work to it and rebody it. After all Chevy and BPG, are different dealer networks, people will complain if only Chevy got it.

New headlights for the Malibu MAXX SS
Actually Ted, you blacked out too big of an area. When painting you're only blacking out the outer chrome piece, so the lights aren't entirely circular. Something like this:

Chevrolet to offer Malibu LTZ with a new powertrain
That's... news? We knew it was coming.

If this is the case then I might have to keep my G6 running then. I don't want a Pontiac Tempest...

Here's the new Buick
Are you looking at the American site? This is a Chinese Buick release. Although I don't see anything on the Chinese Buick site either.

Here's the new Buick
At least the Chinese version will certainly get it. Hell they put one in an Optra.

So what about an Epsilon II G6?
I keep on hearing this thing about RWD equates to bad economy, but I still don't understand this theory or see any solid proof. What's wrong with having RWD with a small 4-cylinder, then light pressure turbo'ed 4-cylinder, then V6 as top of line? Some Japanese Keicars are still RWD, yet they still get more than 50MPG, better than that POS Prius. And I see that as smaller engines and lighter weight. If moving to Alpha means keeping it the same size or very marginally downsize it, I'm all for it. If the G6 going to EPII means growing it to be another W-Body, then I say no. That will clearly step into NG Allure's toes. If anything, the size of the G6 right now is about right, just lose the extra weight.

I saw a horde of them lately. A really nice Black LTZ went by me and my jaw dropped.

Vauxhall unveils new Griffin badge
If anything, kill Saturn before killing Vauxhall. Sorry, I just can't get over with what they did to Oldsmobile.

Yeah, so what happened to GMX327 and GMX387? Northie says it's cancelled but Ted says otherwise... I'm confused...
