Rumormill: Bob Lutz drops more Buick Regal GS, high performance wagon hints
I SuperEps even still on? It's gone from Chi a few years ago, to SuperEp, to now the Impala will be on EpII LWB. I'm beginning to wonder if they really haven anything bigger than the LaCrosse that can go on Epsilon.

Officially Official: Volkswagen Amarok pickup makes the scene
If it had a longer bed, I think that would make a great runabout truck, and with the diesel it would handle at least 90% of the towing I've ever done...

Net Car Show: Mitsubishi RVR
That front end looks awefully similar to the 2010 outlander...

2009 Opel Insignia OPC Sports Tourer
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! I usually would choose a wagon over it's equivalent sedan, but this one might be draw... Either way, I'll take mine with a Buick grille and a GS badge!

Meet the All New Chevrolet Cruze (Video)
Honda hasn't designed an attractive interior in years, and if they keep up their "high tech" digital age crap that's in the current Civic, then I have no doubts that the Cruze will have a nicer looking interior. Also, as nice as I think the Civic coupe looks, I don't think the sedan aged well. No telling if the Cruze will or not, but it seems like it has a better shot.

A list of top candidates for GM's next CEO
+1 Also, it seems to me that GM should take their time on this one and pick someone that can lead the company successfully and meet their goals w/o cheapening the new products, etc. Some of the candidates on that list seem to be relevant picks, some don't, and some I can't make any comment on. Anyway, I just hope that the board makes a good decision when it comes time.

Saab to be wound down
I think it's a shame because they looked to have a promising future as far as product goes. With the new 9-5 and 9-4x, I think they could have gotten back on track. A redesigned 9-3 and new 9-1 would have rounded out a lineup. Hopefully one of the new bidders can get a deal settled quickly so SAAB doesn't end up with Oldsmobile/Pontiac/Saturn in the graveyard.

I drove the Corvette Stingray Concept...
Won it at a Christmas party last night. Jada Toys has this concept and the new Camaro as part of their "big time muscle" remote control cars. It's a good size remote control car, and brings back lots of memories. Plus, it's fun to chase my dog with it...he's 50 lb collie/chow mix and scared to death of the thing...ha ha

Buick Excelle Hatch - The big picture!
I'm still really hoping that if they bring the hatches over they get the sedan's front end. I think it looks more like the rest of the lineup. The new Regal fits in better than this IMHO. Then again, maybe having the hatches different, and a little sportier would be a good thing...

Henderson resigns as GM CEO
I guess I figured this was coming, but I think he did a better job than expecteded thus far. Hopefully they can get someone Alan Mullaly-ish...

New Phone
Isn't that on top of the regular plan though?

New Phone
I would really like this phone I think, but I don't want to pay for the data plan...

What car are you dreaming about at the moment?
yes! Exactly what I want, but I hope that they have a nice metallic black or dark blue... always dreaming of Maserati... check! Last one for me I guess would be the 2011 Grand Cherokee. The light tan interior and dark blue exterior, or silver with a dark (not plain black) interior

2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe
To me, these pictures make a great point. The 6 just looks dated, but the other three look good in my opinion. I also think that none of these are extremely flattering profiles in the picture, but in person I know at least the Buick and Audi are gorgeous... I don't blame you...I'll be waiting to lick one at my local dealership...

The Chevrolet Spark
When compared to the Aveo, I'm not sure why this is such a bad idea. It looks overly busy from certain angles, and there are certain details that I could live w/o, but I'm not really the target market for this car either. If this car makes financial/economical sense for GM to sell here then I think they should do it.

Manual Transmission for 2011 2.0 Turbo Regal
I'm now 99.99% sure that I'll be keeping my 03 Grand Cherokee and and getting one of these bad boys! The 6M puts me over the edge. The only thing that could make me any more sure is them announcing the coupe would be built as well!

Sports Teams you Hate!
Amen! Add the Ravens to that as well. I really don't like the RedWings as far as hockey goes...I'm an Avalanche fan myself

Rumormill: Bob Lutz drops more Buick Regal GS, high performance wagon hints
That's for sure! The only vehicle I would even consider in the next year was the new Grand Cherokee, but the Regal has got me thinking I might keep my 03 Grand Cherokee and lease a new Regal in about a year assuming that's possible. A GS, coupe, or GS coupe would solidify that decision for me...a GS wagon might have me thinking about trading in the Jeep and buying the Buick...I guess we'll see...

Rusty Bugatti Veyron
"Pretty sure it's a Lambo" WRONG! I would hate to be the moron that drove into a marsh with ANY car, but driving that beautiful specimen into the marsh would add insult to injury I think...

Restraint
Definately sounds like something that the local police might be interested in...

What should be a given?
Cadillac Standards: navigation, LEDs all around, leather, multiple zone climate control (including seats and steering wheel), real wood Cadillac Options: AWD, new tech, performance trims, MTs Buick Standards: color LCD radio/info displays, HIDs, LED signals, leather, single zone climate control Buick Options: multiple zone climate control (including seats and steering wheel), real wood, navigation, AWD, new tech GMC Standards (Sierra excluded): color LCD radio/info displays, HIDs, LED signals, single zone climate control GMC Sierra Standards: as-is GMC Options: multiple zone climate control (including seats and steering wheel), leather, navigation, new tech, off roadability Chevy Standards: as-is seems pretty good for the most part Chevy Options: leather, navigation, climate control(single or multi zone depending on vehicle), XFE/hybrid models There are some things that I know I left off that should always be options on every vehicle such as sunroofs, parking sensors/cameras, etc. Also, there is one thing that should not be on ANY vehicle except the lowliest of the lowly Chevies and that is steel wheels. Steel wheels make every car they've ever been on look especially bad.

2011 Regal: A Buick bred on the Autobahn
Maybe it's because I can't find any pictures from the same angles, but as far as I can tell, the grille on ours is taller, and more rounded on the bottom. The lower air intake on ours is smaller and has a single horizontal bar instead of a mesh appearance The foglight housings are completely different shapes, as are the foglights themselves. Also, I believe the repeater lamps on the side are different
