  1. New updates to the VOlt...Interior, a little on the exterior. Wonder how much of that interior is going to make it to production? Seats are really sculpted.
  2. Ummm, you are comparing a brand new concept vehicle to a car that has been out for a couple years in the real world...? If that "greatly styled" Holden concept comes out, it won't be for a few years and it will be tuned down for production. By then their will be an all-new, hot Buick replacement out. You are really not making a fair comparison, especially when Holden doesn't have to worry about most of the platform development or financial issues, just tweaking the car.

  4. It looks like all those "world-class" cars don`t want to compete with all of the world...A lot of talk at Ferrari, Porsche, Aston Martin, etc. but not a lot of action...I guess they are a little red-faced at a blue-collar American sports car beating them blue...So much for all that "pedigree."
  5. Clean, crisp designs that are high in quality...Very good. Details like the lighted CD slot show GM is picking up on details. They look good and will be in cars MUCH earlier than you realize.

    1) You have never even driven the new CTS to compare... 2) No way are the BMWs the same price with equal options...A BASE BMW usually equals a fully loaded Caddy of the same size. Check engine power, etc. 3) Why the 3 series "outsells" is because most are used in taxi fleets around the world. Been to Europe lately? They are a common car and most are sold as base models, not the "luxury" versions we see in NA. In some countries it is the ONLY BMW model you can buy...You will never see a new CTS as a taxi...Taxis = fleet sales... BMWs are good cars...But you can't price compare them the same...

    Exactly...Alternative fuels, anyone?
  10. Said it before...Said it many times...Buick is going nowhere and its future looks great. Okay, maybe I said it on other sites...
  11. Anyone catch the "August" release month? Told you so earlier...Of course not available everywhere in August, but still here then.

    hyperv6 has hit it on the nail.

    I am not discounting him totally. I think he knows some things. The only problem is he is probably a few tiers from the HQ in Detroit. Oshawa would give him an idea (I am "close" to give you an idea of what I know), but HQ is also throwing out a lot of misinformation because of the union issues and competitors. Like I mentioned before, he is partially right...but even those things could change. Just look at Zeta and all the on again, off again speculation.

    Tell the irrational environmentalists to back off first...They only like to hear themselves talk, and not hear meaningful LONG-TERM solutions. Too bad the media only focuses on such hyperbole...The governement has no choice but ot follow suit. You are perfectly right to not be patient anymore. GM has done some dumb things that have caused too many delays. There have been signs of hope...More hope is coming. Let's hope they execute right.

    Patience...Not all is right about what has been said.
  19. gmii replied to Sandles's post in a topic in General Motors
    Yup...So do not put too much into what has been said.

    SANDLES: You are making very direct and confident statements, but you have offered nothing in return to support your assertions. Please try, in an indirect way of course, to tell us where you work or your connections. From my sources, this "delay" has more to do with a) the unions, b) the competition, and c) some minor product shifts.
