What is old is new again.

As long as you love your car, even in a hate-y way, you’re not a bad Jalop. Bonus points if you know how to do basic maintenance.

Everyone has such good resolutions. I just want to buy something reasonably priced and fun to either replace or possibly supplement my current 16 year old Cavalier. I know I know, I'm a bad Jalop.

I’d rather have a Toyota Masterace Surf.

So is it fair to say that they gave the Juke a new set of Kicks?

OTOH, it gives you more menu options because “will half of this end up in my lap?” isn’t as much of a concern as it is while driving.

Pull the engine out of this 87 CRX HF, rebuild and replace the engine, then take the CRX for a drive under its own power. I have 1% of the required skills. 

Theyre gonna pull the idx out of storage and slap some tracks on it next. Sorry, still not for sale. 

parking and eating is so time consuming...

Can you also remove the big garish Chevy sticker ?

Everyone’s resolutions are pretty ambitious! As for me, I intend on some simple and doable thing.

I prefer the old one

There was literally no reason for anyone to buy a City Express aside from the Chevy badge. It’s a (Chissan) Nissan NV200 in every way except badging, but had a worse warranty and GM techs who are unfamiliar with the powertrain.

Are you sure you meant to reply to me? I never said *anywhere* in my comments that the TSA groped me.

Auto design and other commercial products, including women’s fashion in this case, were heavily influenced by aircraft design and later rocketry in the post-WW2 USA. Witness the whole tailfin phenomenon. And because “sex sells”, you saw “Dagmar” front bumper protrusions as a 1950's design motif.

Pontiac wasn’t doing fine. They sold 350k cars in 2007 (pre market melt down) and were making crap that was just rebadged Chevy crap.......or vice versa. A GM brand needed to be killed off long before it happened. Buick had lower volume in the U.S. (~1.5% market share vs. ~2% market share for Pontiac), but killing

3 Alfas is a good number, because 2 of them will be in the shop at any given time.

You realize they went out of business, right? Think about that fact, then ask your question again.......to yourself.

What I dont understand was Pontiac in general during the early 2000's. Who in development and marketing think they can use the GTO name

I’m glad the Lincolns are going away to be replaced with cars with actual names and much better faces. They’re decent enough cars but that front end never was attractive and the “MKx” nomenclature is just dumb and confusing.
