I mean, they did it for 44 years before giving up. I grew up hearing how FWD cars were better in the snow, etc. so I think GM saw a market for people who want V8 power and FWD.

Nothing like pulling a long, heavy door closed while sitting in a comfortable seat.

I’ve loved those Rivs since I was a kid.  The wraparound dash is great, and it really is a car that should have had a V8 from the start.  

I think people in colder climates can appreciate them, especially in older cars when the convertible tops and heating systems weren’t as robust. I could see the appeal of having one and leaving it on all winter (if you’re convertible isn’t a summer only car) except for the fact your top is folded up for half the year.

Ok, but when you look at used RR listings, they are hardly being driven as it is. I’m curious what their expected lifespan is for the current cars.

They’re probably cross shopping Escalades and Denalis tbh.

It could definitely get a lot more people to buy EVs just based on the aspirational value.  I could see GM doing smaller versions like it did with the H3 to build out the brand.  

What in the hell is going on with these wheels? It’s like an M. C. Escher piece.

Someone is going to say the Lexus SC430 wheels, and they’re absolutely going to be wrong.

Modern conservatives’ motto should be “Small Government For Me But Not For Thee.”

My LS430 is getting up in miles and I’ve been contemplating an Avalon hybrid as a replacement, but I know a car payment isn’t going to actually save me any money. The actual savings due to the increased fuel efficiency combined with the gas prices might help bridge the gap a bit at this point.

Our annual trip to WY has been made in an X5 for the past several years. This year we took my buddy’s Jetta wagon (TDI), and it was no less comfortable from an interior space perspective. 

That definitely appears to be the case in Jackson, WY.

I was heavily shopping the STS a while back and was surprised to see that of the 2,500 units made, only 96 of them were in 2009.  

I can see an argument for 25th Anniversary Countach being the worst looking version of that car, but worst looking supercar?  Please.  Gtfo.

I see a lot of complaints in the replies from people who have only given as much thought to this issue as it took them to take their morning dump.  The author is right in that we should be working toward the goal of no private vehicles in our downtowns/city centers.  The problem is, there needs to be as much money…

Don’t forget the license plate covers with the dealer’s name on them and the stick on the trunk  lid.  It costs a lot for you to advertise for them.

Yes, a long term solution will need to be a shift in how we grow our cities so that driving is not a necessity for day to day life.

Someone will probably pay that much for it as it has a lot going for it, especially since it’s pre-emissions/gas crisis and enjoys all the engine has to offer. For my money though, I’d take the Castilian that was made a few years later as it is a much more elegant rendition of a Cadillac wagon. Cadillac and ASC have…

I laughed my ass off when a buddy of mine bought a Furious Fuchsia SRT8, and I would take that a million times over this one.
