1960 Brasilian Chevy truck joins museum

I'd rather see a modern RWD sedan, something to compete in the big leagues with the LS/S-Class/7-series/etc, but the reality is that the DTS is their link to the past..to keep the loyal retiree demographic at GM...if they don't have it, are they are going to go buy.... Town Cars?

Looks like the same concept that has been in magazines as an Opel (Antares?)

Ugh..the base model gets the old 3.5 with a 4spd. Can't they make the 3.6 w/ the 6spd standard and leave the old stuff for the Malibu??

I see a little of the Equinox/Torrent in the greenhouse, and some Sequia in the rear quarters..

Technically, they are wheels..the rim is only part of the wheel. Anyway, I see a bit of the current Stratus/Sebring in the greenhouse.

Saturn is becoming the new Oldsmobile, between Pontiac and Buick.

Oh, as far as the dash, you would prefer the gauges in the center like the Ion? Would that be contemporary enough for you?

Looks great...very distinctive, and looks NOTHING like the Enclave. The wood trim layout on the dash and doors tells me someone has been looking inside Acuras...

Very, very nice..looks quality inside and out..

Apparently, this east coast highrider style is called a 'Donk'. The magazine 'Donk: Box and Bubble' is all about them...it's a wierd new subculture..

Another way of looking at it that the sedan was probably a rusty beater, the Elco was probably a wreck, and someone merged the two into something else rather than both going to the crusher...

I was surprised to see the 4dr being a softtop (unlike the Dakar concept which had a fixed roof).I wonder if the doors are removable like the 2dr.

I guess the idea behind the 4dr Wrangler is to make the rear seat more accessible/usable and give more rear legroom...(getting in and out of the back of a regular Wrangler can be a pain for adults)..

Sounds plausible...I'd read the jousting thing somewhere else also. I could see that at the time of the American Revolution colonists walking on the opposite side of the road (right side) to be different from the British...

Too bad Ford doesn't offer the Focus SVT anymore. I'd take the GTI over the Civic for many reasons, incl. that it's a hatchback (I'd much rather have a hatchback in a compact than a trunk). I've driven one of the previous style GTIs..it was a fun car. A coworker of mine is looking to trade his '02 Eclipse on a new GTI.

Yeah...look how long it took to shut down Olds..5 years? It's just some wiseguy bs-ing...

I've seen a few mutants like this before..when I lived in Florida, in my little town there was a '73 Torino wagon that had been cut off behind the driver's seat and had a flat bed installed, and a '73 Mercury Colony Park wagon that had the whole roof cut off--a station wagon convertible..both crudely done..

I'm pretty sure it was a four door..look at the length of the door and you can see the outline of the sealed-up rear door under the bondo..

It's a '68 Catalina 4dr sedan that has had some crude cut-and-paste job done to it. Looks like it would be hard to get in and out of with the tiny door uppers.

How enlightened. Try using proper spelling, grammar, punctuation if you want to have any credibility to your posts.

I'm not sure why LEDs couldn't project white light.. they have blue LEDs, red LEDs for tailights, etc..

With that 6-light greenhouse, it would make a nice Chevy Caprice..(as it no doubt will in the Middle East market).

I understand the frustration...I've been in 3 car accidents that resulted in damage in almost 20 years of driving, and none were my fault.

Agreed, I don't think GM has been growing much at all, it's that they have been loosing market share for a long time---contracting---but not shrinking correspondingly as a company... They are still staffed like they still have 40% of the market when they can expect maybe 20% by the end of the decade, I think....
