Is it just a coincidence that GM Fastlane Blogs is taking a break for the first two weeks or so of July? So that the decision on which brand(s) to cut could be made and announced? Or am I too suspicious?

Same for Buick, if it's NA product and China product were aligned. But to address the main topic, maybe part of the problem is that Jim Bunnell is the General Manager for Buick and Pontiac and GMC. Previsouly, it was like a revolving door for the top men at Buick and Pontiac. Is there anyone who stands up for those brands individually? Sort of a "Fbodfather" but for those brands, rather than the Camaro. PCS said Buick and Saab had "saviors," though I'm not sure who they might be.

Now autoblog.com has picked up on this. To read their report, click here.

GMI is reporting that the NG GMC Acadia and the Lambda SUT that GMC and Chevrolet were to share have been canceled from GMC's future product plans. GMI notes that they NOT received word that GMC is getting cut.

Don't be ashamed that you have feelings. I wish more people did.

Pontiac's website says only "Available 2009."

I can tear up just reading those lyrics, let alone hearing the record. (..."I'm a sentimental sap, that's all"...)

For any sentimentalists, here are the basic lyrics to "That Sunday, That Summer," which Nat 'King' Cole sang. They're pretty on their own but if only you could hear the complete recording with his voice + the choir+ the orchestra... absolutely beautiful! "If I had to choose just one day To last my whole life through It would surely be that Sunday The day that I met you Newborn whippoorwills were calling from the hills Summer was a-coming in but fast Lots of daffodils were showing off their skills Nodding all together, I could almost hear them whisper "Go on, kiss her, go on and kiss her" If I had to choose one moment To live within my heart It would be that tender moment Recalling how we started Darling, it would be when you smiled at me That way, that Sunday, that summer"

Maybe Herb Jeffries?

Is the ST still coming? (I thought the name "G8 Sport Truck" was fine.)

ocnblu: I am intimately familiar with it - it's not my favorite of his, however. I think Nat 'King' Cole could've sung the telephone book and it would have sounded wonderful. My favorite Cole records include "That Sunday, That Summer" (I am in awe of the beauty of that arrangement, his vocal, and the choir); a little-known LP cut, "More and More of Your Amor," "Orange Colored Sky" (the 1961 "Nat King Cole Story" re-recording with Stan Kenton's band); and the version of "Unforgettable" which edited his voice in with his daughter Natalie's.

Mr.? Why so formal? Trade your truck for a G8! C'mon, go deep in debt like the rest of us fools. I've only seen one G8 on the streets of Chicago, a red one, and it stuck out very nicely.

OK, the Pride Parade's over, so I watched the video. " . . . The greatest thing is . . . just to love . . . and be loved in return . . . " Love doesn't know gender or color or age.

ocnblu: Then grab a Pontiac G8! Consensus seems to be it's the best Pontiac in a long time! You like?

Well, maybe that will happen. PCS last said, to the effect of, anything was possible, things were being discussed, and that they could change.

I'm counting B-P-G as one.

But how many times can GM regroup?

gmcbob: You don't think your example has (one) too many coupes - a Saturn Insignia and a Buick Riviera? Are you thinking the Buick Invicta Concept will be the Regal? Is GMC still part of that sales channel wth Buick and Saturn?
