Good article. It makes sense to me.. There is too much product. Keep the brands.. Just get rid of all the overlap. Too many vehicles means too much marketing and technology money moving in too many directions...

American children aren't learning what they used to learn in school anymore.. When you and I were in 3rd grade, we learned at a certain specified level. That level has become lower since we've slowed-down for foreigners who can't read and write or understand the language. It's bad.. Worse than you think.. When I have children, I'm home-tutoring them.

CaddyCruiser.. Gotta love that second picture with the chrome rims, eh? I found all those pictures when I was looking for mine as well.. The color you have (same as mine) really looks amazing when clean.. Take good care of it, okay? I may want it when you're done.

Delete this thread. Chevy executives have no plans on a V6 only or FWD Camaro. To even believe this is a possibility is to believe they've never looked on the internet to see what people want. And to believe they don't care what people want... Forget it... This is funny...

Agreed.. This thing looks silly. Feminine, even... (Not the picture below)...

That's exactly like my old Fleetwood Brougham. Identical. I sold mine for a 2000 DeVille DTS and I actually miss the 95.. The DTS turns a lot more heads and has more power, but there's just something about driving such a big vehicle.. And believe it or not, the FWB turned heads as well.. It's got the softest ride you can get in a car today... I love it.. You got a great deal...

The real question is - Is this even America anymore?

They're also comparing the cheap, crappy "I'm poor but I just HAVE to have a new car" Camry in this pictures.. The top of the line Camry interior is not just nice, it's quite impressive...

Just some notes in case they weren't mentioned.. If you drink bottled or spring water, you NEED a mineral supplement. You cannot survive without minerals. Take a full-spectrum multi vitamin with minerals.. Flouride is Death for your Thyroid. Stop drinking tap water that has Flouride.. While you're at it, stop eating food with MSG (monosodium glutamate). It's fattening AND addictive.. Imagine that? You're addicted to fat! "No one can eat just one". "What you crave".. Sound familiar? MSG is in just about Everything.. Why? More sales... High fructose corn syrup.. Unbelievable.. What's wrong with just plain old sugar? It's expensive! High fructose corn syrup is cheaper and much worse for you than sugar.. Instead of me going on and on and on, if you're not poor and you want to survive, PM me. No, I have nothing to sell you. But eating right is expensive.. A double MSG greaseburger at McDonalds is .99 cents... You get the picture...

I didn't know Chief, but I feel bad to know he's gone and I never got to know him.. I run several communities of my own, and it's always sad when, all of the sudden, you know somebody is gone forever. This is why we should always live each day as if it were our last. We may disagree with one another from time to time, but that's okay. It's life. We can agree to disagree and be done with it.. Life is far, far too short to stay angry at one another for such silly reasons.. Since this is a memorandum of sorts, I think it might be an interesting idea to link to some of Chief's posts from the past. Such as: http://www.80sxchange.com/deceased/kira/ http://www.80sxchange.com/deceased/boggle/boggle.html

Chrysler Firepower? It needs a better name if it makes it to production...

Exactly! I couldn't have said it any better...

I'm not surprised that the STS finished last.. It's not the best product.. And yes, as Cadillac keeps getting better, so does the competition.. BUT.. If you were to have a comparison category for "Most Improved Vehicle", the STS would have won Hands Down. I think that says a lot... So while the other guys are getting a little better every year, Cadillac is catching up faster than anyone wants to think about.. It's only a matter of time before it'll be very difficult for anyone to place Cadillac any further than first or second in every category...

I seriously doubt Lexus "copied" the Grand Prix. Sure, it has a few similarities - but almost all cars do. If they're going to copy, they're going to do it from an upscale car - not a downscale car...

Okay, so Toyota gets tired of all the "boring" comments and decides to make the 2010 Toyota Camry Family Coupe. Is it still going to be the best-selling family car in America at $300,000.00? Gee, I have 1k left for attachments... Let me host the image somewhere and I'll be back...

"unimaginative design" is not a fact - it's an opinion.. I like the interior of the Lexus IS much better than the CTS but the current exterior of the CTS is nicer (to me) than the IS.. And yes, the new CTS will probably be much, much nicer in all aspects.. The CTS is a great car...

I'd like to see these types of interiors in domestic vehicles (non-luxury). Clean, classy, warm and technologically advanced...

Lexus is putting the 4.3 or 4.6 in an IS and calling it the IS500 to compete with the M3. So no - this car isn't supposed to compete with the M. The interior is excellent for the entry level Lexus. It's job is supposed to be comfortable (even though it's small), quick and not-so-harsh on the road.. It does a fine job of this...

That's a pretty cool interior for a Honda Civic...

It's called a design theme.. Most car companies have one.. There are similarities with Cadillacs, BMWs, Mercedes, Audis.. I think people are experiencing "muscle memory" of the lips - or atleast of the mind - to still be calling Lexus designs "boring". Yes, it's a matter of opinion - to each his/her own...

The Toyota Camry keeps getting better.. This is a nice vehicle...

The cars can be a lot less expensive since the company doesn't have to worry about decades of pension requirements and exorbitant health care costs.

Right. The Chinese government owns Chery. Check out the Chery link in my signature.. There are actually a few pretty nice vehicles in there... Especially the red concept..

Looking good! Thank you!
