Official Chrysler Aspen Official Pictures
Not remotely..vaguely similar roofline, but the GTO is larger and has different proportions...

New Toyota Previa
AWD Previa... I don't know about the GM dustbusters...I haven't seen one in ages.

Official Chrysler Aspen Official Pictures
Charger/Magnum/300 are Chrysler's full size models..the midsizers (Stratus/Sebring) are very much badge-engineered...

Car Spotting
I saw a very clean '78 Electra 4dr--dark red w/ white top-- today...don't see those very often. Whitewall tires, Buick mags..

New Toyota Previa
A buddy of mine has one of the AWD ones with 250k miles on it...

At the Book Shop
I'll admit to reading my g/f's Vanity Fair every month... though it has an image as a chick mag, there is very good writing in there...

Detroit: Heal Thy Self
Some of the suburbs and surrounding areas are pretty nice, though... I lived out in Ann Arbor for 3 years when I was in grad school....a really nice town, and not just a college town. The lousy winters and economy keeps me from considering moving back there, though.

Jokes - California
Growing up in Ohio & Florida, I'd heard of Jack in the Box but never had it until I started visiting Phoenix regularly in the '80s. I had heard of In and Out and Fatburger but never had them until I went to California... we now have Fatburger here in Denver--pretty good. Last time I was in LA (a couple weeks ago), though, I ate at Big Boy on Wilshire. Neat 50s architecture to the building.. they had Big Boys in Ohio when I was a kid, but hadn't eaten in one in maybe 15 years.

Lambda-Can they build a sedan based on this???
The last Caprice was 116 wb and 77 inches wide..it was a whale... I think 116 wb, 74 inches wide, and 200 inches long would be more than large enough for a RWD Caprice revival...

Detroit: Heal Thy Self
I like the 777 also...it felt more spacious and seemed quieter than a 747... I've flown in both across the pond (British Airways) in coach... I did business class once on a BA 777..that was probably the most comfortable I've been on a big plane before..

And it's a Sunday afternoon... (happened to me on the 880).

Audi S8
Drool here also... the A8 in its current form has been my favorite big luxo sedan since its intro, and the S8 just builds upon that...beautiful inside, beautiful outside... clean, subtle, elegant and not overdone.
-
BMW 3-Series
One of the recent UK mags (Top Gear or Car, I think) has a pic of the rear...the taillights are more horizontal than the sedan. I'm looking forward to seeing it in person, I've long liked the current E46 coupe.

Colts lose!
I'm really looking forward to next Sunday's game.... I've been a big Broncos fan for the last 8 years, but grew up a Steelers fan...

GM Interiors- Before and After
I've sat in A6s with wood trim and two tone (tan seats, black dash)...much nicer than the black one in that photo, IMHO...the A8 has the best Audi interior currently, IMHO, but it should be, being the top-of-the-line model..
-
Behind the Scenes
Yes, not every car needs the trunk lid cut open to the bumper... It needs a taller roof, though..the windshield opening is too low.

2006 Cadillac DTS
Avis has them in some locations..I rented one last month.
-
Detroit: Heal Thy Self
They have some defense stuff (satellites, etc) going on in Colorado Springs also...I have a friend that works for Boeing down there...

Buick & Lucerne
I think the Lucerne is one of those cars that looks much better in some colors than others... I've seen a dark blue one and a black one and think they look great...but in Avis white it probably wouldn't look so good..(then again, there are very, very few cars I think look good in white besides '65-66 Shelby Mustangs and '70 Challengers.. :))
-
Anyone seen a Tahoe (07) at a dealer yet?
The Chevy dealer by my office has one...I saw it today on the way back from lunch..dark blue....I'll have to stop by after work and take a look..it looked great from the street...
-
Do you like...
Well, it definitely looks better than the old Grand Ams...but one thing looks odd to me about it is the long wheelbase...the placement of the wheels make the proportions look odd in profile, IMHO...and the taillight shape is funny.

2006 Chevrolet Camaro Concept
Robert Hall replied to avant1963's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)The second gen style is played out..the 3rd and 4th evolved from it... the '69 is the still the best looking Camaro of all time, IMHO...

Any chance of the G6 getting a DOHC V-6?
Maybe, but the market doesn't view it that way..the continued use of the 3.9 is viewed as GM being stuck in the past...

What does the external dimensions of the engines have to do with anything?????? Seems like a lame argument.
