    has anyone heard if this will be offered in all wheel drive? it would make sense.

    no escalade in this recall? don't they have, essentially, the same braking system?

    its the same old dilemma. what do you do to top a winner. the car is truly a tuff act to follow and you have to do something to attract more buyers. so, you unveil the SRT, the special edition, etc. i think the color is tops! the interior is pretty nice as well. this will probably never be an AWD vehicle, though.

    i'm with caddycruiser. 3.6/4.6 in the lucerne. the 2.8 might have a life in the HHR. someone told me that the "shortstar" was highly overrated. any truth to that? or was it just too small for the aurora?

    well, that photo is allegedly a chrysler built prototype. they were thinking about building it. but, sadly, it looks like a no go.

    i must admit, that merc. dash is nice! too bad the car is so small.

    a previous poster wisely called this thing smoke and mirrors. smoke and mirrors would be a compliment. from the site: CEM Engine has the potential to become one of the first self-lubricating, air-cooled, multi-fuel, four-stroke cycle engines to deliver two horsepower/pound.. anyone remember the "dale". 70MPG 3 wheeled car. if i remember correctly it was being promoted by a crossdressing man. anyway this site is looking for investors. WATCH OUT, this is an official NEST EGG ALERT! your hard earned bucks and kids inheiritence could be pissed away.

    listen, wildman joe. please get them to build that convertible you are showing and sell one to me.

    remember they showed a 4 door wrangler dubbed the sahara at the naias back in, i think, 01 or 02. lots of good reaction from the crowd but chrysler didn't jump on it. something must have changed in their thinking.

    yeah, do something different with the wheel but leave the wood.

    the euro stuff from other companies does sell well here. why wouldn't this?
  12. i own a business in fort wayne. usually visit the market once or twice a year. for the last 3 years there has been some serious growth down there but no one could ever give me a concrete reason as to why. businesses moving in, housing being built, big retailers and so on. so, i am not surprised that this is happening. it just makes me sorry for michigan (where the bulk of our business is). michigan is so mis-managed. it just cannot cut a break.
  13. never really "owned" a buick. had two as company cars. a loaded X car and an 80 regal. owned some olds, chevys, gmc's, still have a pontiac and a caddy. olds was a good brand. lots of innovations. drove an aurora V-8 when i was looking for a sedan. hate to say it but i wasn't that impressed. good car but i didn't like the noise level or the way it took the bumps on these crappy michigan roads. give that car buick's quiet tuning and rework the ride and you get, ah, the lucerne, as a matter of fact.

    awesomely fast diesel. put it in the lighter sedan, give it AWD and watch them fly off the lots!
  15. would have been a good combo for the rag top version

    like i have said before. the general will always stop just a hair short of hitting a grand slam.
  17. jry replied to Newbiewar's post in a topic in General Motors
    sure that isn't the dts grill
  18. jry replied to buickguy's post in a topic in Buick
    well, the one i saw in livonia had a regular plate and no "nao" or any other gm stickers on it. here in the motor city, when "gm" drives one of their cars around it has the manufacturer plate on it.
  19. jry replied to Stoopsbuick's post in a topic in Buick
    yeah!!! where is your store, sir?
  20. jry replied to buickguy's post in a topic in Buick
    i have. in detroit, driving between here and cinci.
  21. jry replied to zoomtm's post in a topic in Buick
    at 39,430 the only thing i didn't go with is the block heater. i think the H K stereo is part of a package, rather than an option. but why put in something like that without 5.1 surround (which a car environment is so well suited for). wonder how much "water" is in the pricing?
  22. jry replied to buickguy's post in a topic in Buick
    too short a nose for those things. run some ductwork from those things to the air induction and let the poor engine breath.
  23. jry replied to zoomtm's post in a topic in Buick
    mine? 39430.00
  24. nice story. i would take the last year model trofeo anyday. do a few mods to get the horseys up and tighten it up a bit. thanks for the memories.
  25. and you know how this works. mssp: $17,000.00 your price...$15,300.00. and when you think about it, thats probably a lot of car for the $$.
