GM to Unveil 2 New Concept Cars in China
So this is going to be another great car that is only sold in China? First the SLS and now the Park Avenue. Either I need to move to China or figure a way to get these imported. I will not understand why GM has these dynamically excellent automobiles and wont sell them here. Granted there are some styling tweeks that must be made to sell in North America but still that shouldnt be a challange for a company with so many engineering resources.

FIRST LOOK: Pontiac G8 GT Show Car
I wish it had a full 400 HP. But with AFM I really cant complain, especially with the six speed. I wanna see fuel economy numbers though. As long as it gets at least 25 on the highway, I am happy. Plus 400HP is just a intake, headers and exhaust away.

G8 Teaser
I think I have found my next car. Well unless they bring over the HSV Caprice

2008 Cadillac DTS Platinum
And when do we see the return of the Platinum ESV? That really was a nice truck.

2008 Cadillac DTS Platinum
It is an improvement but I just dont like the color combination. I hope others are available. I think that goes for all three of the Platinum Caddys.

Cadillac SLS from China
Throw the STS-Vs motor in this car and you would have a direct competitor to the Jaguar Super V8 or V8 Portfolio.

Acadia starts at $29,990
Unless there is going to be a V8 in it there shouldnt be a Denali version. Just my opinion though.

Buick Enclave Video Discussion Thread
Looks great. Still waiting for the V8 though.

2007 N. American Car & Truck of the Year Finalists
Where is the GMC Sierra? I know in most instances it can be said its the same as the Silverado but there are are styling differences and the Chevy cant be had as a Denali. Plus I think the Sierra just looks better.

New VUE Pics!
I'm just not impressed. Maybe its all the grey plastic on the bumpers but its not nearly as attractive as the concept.

Tiger to help roll out Enclave
I am hoping so. The Misses has already signed off on getting an Enclave. She doesnt care about motor but I DO!

07 G6 GTP aero Package
The blue one is nice. Get a GTP with a six speed and now you are talking!

TCC: HUMMER Considering More Models
I still think Hummer has to have the H1. The other things are nice and all and will help with market share but the H1 is the foundation. At least have it on a build as ordered basis. Besides, without the H1 how would we have had the Goldilocks and the Three Bears H3 commercial?

Lutz's perfect summation of Toyota
Proof that Toyota is a completely un-original company is their new summer blowout commercial. If you havent seen it let me describe it for you: There is a shot of a CAR-CARRIER transporting all the new Toyotas to the dealearship. On the we the way people are stopping to look as it drives through the countryside. Does this sound familiar somehow? Hmm...

GM Launches More Fuel-Saving Six-Speed
Yeah a 4.0L are they bringing back the old Aurora V8? If so, then this would be amazing. If they could bring it in with more HP than the 3.6DI engine this would make for a great mid level V8. I still think the Northstar should move up in displacement.

MSN Autos: 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe Review
You know when I think Tahoe, I think autocrossing! Okay well maybe not but yeah the tires would squeal if you go around a right turn at 45. I would rather have them squeal than flip the truck. I think people are at a loss because they cant say anything bad about the truck. Good job GM. Now if the one i want wasnt 48K then I would get one.

Spy Shots: Wide-body Cadillac CTS-V for 2007
I concur. So what is the price of an M3 or M5? Yep thats why the CTS-V fits there. Why not give someone a bit bigger car for the money. Hey Im tall, I want all the performance but not have to spend $80k to fit in it.

New Info 2007 LaCrosse
All this car really needed was a better front end. So if Buick is putting money into cleaning things up, I hope that is at the top of the list.

U.S. to probe Toyota hybrid patents
Why is this not in the news? Oh wait, Toyota walks on water, cleans the air and provides safe schools for our children. Or something like that. I hope that Toyota gets hard, is banned from importing them, has to recall all the cars and give the owners a SUV for their trouble.

Hot Tahoe fuels GM optimism
Thats a great point. You have to give people a reason. Five to seven cents just isnt enough. It doesnt have to be a dollar. I think even $.50 would work. People have to be able to see savings in real time.

Is Blue Devil Alive? Chevy Performance Might Be
I hope they call it the ZR-1.

Camaro tops GM's rwd list; Buick Velite concept, P
I just want to know what they were thinking when they decided Saturn needed a car based on that platform?

Lutz on GMTV about Enclave
If its going to be 90-95% of what the concept looks like including the interior, this will be my next SUV.

2006 NAIAS: Chevrolet Tahoe Two-Mode Full Hybrid
Ultra Magnus replied to Northstar's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)As much as I like it, I hope its not too little too late. I think if they would have these things out by march, people would really take notice. Its a great effort, dont get me wrong, but the pricing and availability needs to be there now not later.
