...just call me Guido. :lol:
HOLY SHNIKIES! The amount of people around the SS was amazing! (That's VERY good news for GM!)
I'm not digging the Stingray concept. It has very bad "angles" meaning that it looks great when you look at it from certain angles...and "eh" at others.
Was that Lexus convertible an I-series?
(BTW, that sign for the Lincoln Continental says that after WWII all convertibles had 2 doors...did they forget about the Jeep?)

Brian... I dont remember with that Lexus.
Soooo according to the GM restructuring documents... they have a pic of the Caddy CTS Coupe production version... and prod starts June 2010.
annnnnd... they also disclosed that the Caddy Converj will hit the market in 2012. *waits patiently* :lol:

I heard that GM is cancelling the V-Series and SS division. What will that mean to Caddy? I know the Camaro is still a "go" because the R&D is done.

Everything that is done... is done... if its done in the R&D, and now in the prod stages... it'll be out/made.
Now... CTS-V Coupe .. yeah.. thats on hold. Pet projects like that have all been kicked to the curb.

NICE!
Just got an update.
No constraints on my spec'd car!
Current Restraint List:
Cyber Gray Metallic (awaiting the Gray on the Malibu line to be complete. This does not affect the vinyl strips in Cyber Gray Metallic)
Summit White (Held off until June)
All V6's (1 V6 per dealership is currently in production (and are starting to arrive in dealerships now) but will cease on March 15th when actual "preorders" start. At that time, The SS models will be the only ones produced due to the 4-1 ratio)
Hurst Short-Throw Shifter This will not be a factory installed option at the start of production but can be installed at the dealership. I removed this from my order due to the constraint I kinda saw coming.
If any of the 4 previous to my order have any of these options, they get to change their order...and if they don't want to, mine gets bumped up! (Cyber Gray Metallic is the #2 most-ordered color...behind Black...so there's a good chance that there's at least ONE in front of me)
EDIT:
I got a list of colors and some information about the orders ahead of me.
1: Cyber Gray Metallic (He is not willing to change his order so he is moved behind me until he either changes his color, or Cyber Gray's constraint is lifted)
2. Black (As it stands right now, he's #1)
3. Cyber Gray Metallic (He is willing to change his color but won't do so until his order comes up).
4. Victory Red
5. Inferno Orange Metallic (Me).
I may have it mid-late June!!!

Did you see this yet?

:sohappy:
I'm going with the 370Z. Right now, all the dealers around me only have touring models. I wouldn't mind having the upgraded sound system, but I could give or take the leather seats, and I can't justify paying $5000 basically just for the upgraded sound system. I can get a pretty nice set-up as an after-market add on for a lot less than that.
The thing is they're currently only making touring models ( I guess they figure people who really want them will pay extra and get the touring model) and he doesn't know when they'll switch production over. As soon as they do, he's going to snag one for me and then it will be on that slow boat from Japan.
. . . so it'll be fun to see which one of us gets our car first.:lol:

Autoweek seems to think it's still a go, and this is what they do, so that's very encouraging.
A V coupe would kick some serious a$$.
I just saw the Top-Gear where they were driving the V-Sedan along with a ZR1 and Challenger, and they were raving about it (after he got done complaing that a Cadillac should be soft and squooshy).

Haha... yeah... I seen that episode. :lol:
And agreed on the V coupe. Just the thought makes me all tingly.

GM needs this car too. They need to continue to put out cars that people have a "buzz" about.
I can't believe how much people talk about the new Malibu. A MALIBU!!!!
Put out a nice product, and people's "word of mouth" should do the rest.
The V-Series (at least the CTS) is as respected as the M-Series now. Who would've thunk it? Putting out that Coupe would just be incredible for GM.
The Volt and Converj (even though pricing isn't available) needs a major price-drop or huge incentive to buy it. As it stands, the buzz is there, but how many people will actually pull the trigger due to the price? It's not exactly "Prius-pricing."
The Camaro is expected to sell enormous amounts in it's first year. (12,000 already preordered...before people can test drive it or see it in the dealerships).
They need to re-brand the G8 and drop Pontiac. Make the G8 the new Impala. People will buy a respectable Impala SS...and if it was a rebranded G8 GXP...it would sell.
Here's my lineup of vehicles.
SS - Pure Performance Based vehicles.
V-Series - Luxury/Performance vehicles.
SS Cars: Impala, Camaro, Traverse, Cobalt
V-Series: CTS, CTS Coupe, STS, SRX (Get rid of the XLR)
3 Brands:
1. Chevrolet
2. Cadillac
3. Buick
Vehicle Lineup:
Chevrolet:
1. Malibu (current version)
2. Impala (rebranded G8)
3. Cobalt (Current sedan, and hatchback version)
4. (One of the three "micro-car" concepts)
5. Corvette (Coupe and Convertible)
6. Traverse
7. Tahoe
8. Suburban
9. Silverado (1500, 2500, 3500)
10. New Minivan
11. Camaro (Coupe and Convertible)
12. Chevy Solstice (Coupe and Convertible)
13. Work van
14. Volt
Cadillac:
1. CTS (Coupe, Convertible, and Sedan)
2. STS
3. DTS
4. SRX
5. Escalade
6. Converj
Buick:
1. Enclave (New design)
2. LaCrosse

Every 5th Anniversary.

That looks like an impressive line-up.
It's frustrating that GM got hit with the one-two punch of gas prices followed by recession at a point they were getting their s*** together and had some promising cars in the pipeline.
Now every self important nit-wit in Washington thinks they know more than Bob Lutz . . . even tough they have trouble picking their own nose without six congressional aides.
. . . anyway, on the 370Z front, it looks like my car may be on the way and here next week . . . but I've been told so many different things over the past couple days that I'll believe it when I see it.
