How long can nostalgia hold up a brand? A long time; just ask Harley-Davidson. Nostalgia kept them alive during the AMF years until they were bought out again and could start producing better-quality bikes. One hundred and ten years later, they're still going strong.

Now everyone within earshot of my office is wondering why the hell I just burst into hysteric laughter. Asshole.

That's so weird; everyone else makes fun of me for liking the NB, but I guess it's pretty popular and I didn't even realize it.

I don't believe they ever offered it in the first place.

Now, see, I kind of like that derpy little smile. It's a little crazy. It's a little inane. But the sheer audacity of its derpy-ness makes me smile every single time I see one. That, to me, is the whole point of the car. If you own one, and you don't smile when you see that doofy little grin on its face, you're either…

I'm glad to finally know that I'm not the only one that liked the looks of the NB better than the NA or the NC. Everyone says it's too effeminate, but I've always like sculpted curves over angled or beveled surfaces like the NA or the NC. Plus, if you honestly think a car defines your sense of gender, I feel truly…

How much is the "not ugly" option?

It's not the fastest Mustang in a straight line, but it is the fastest Mustang around a track. The Boss 302 will absolutely trounce a GT500 around a track.

One think I like about you, Chip, is that you are the kind of person who sees things around them not just as they are, but rather as what they could be. You are capable of seeing the potential in the things around you, sometimes even things that others wouldn't even think twice about.

Of the three of them I'd want a Caprice. There's just always something magic about an SBC, and I've always thought that they'd look damn cool in CHP colors. Of course, I'd also like to see the CHP show up with Camaros again; those were just flat-out awesome, as well as intimidating.

I'd like to hear your reasoning.

That may well be the best response in this thread.

Dude, you're probably going to have an easier time reasoning with Michelle Bachmann. Some battles are worth fighting. This one isn't.

To be fair, take a step back for a minute, and realize this: You're commenting on Jalopnik. And you're complaining about the existence of an absolutely badass, limited-production track model of a car being built by a company that is often criticized for its lack of focus on quality, fun-to-drive vehicle.

No, no, you definitely are. In a good way.

I'm not sure where it is that you're getting the idea that I'm comparing the CTS against the M5; if you actually read my prior comment, you'd note that I didn't mention the M5 at all. I merely referred to the chassis code for the current 5-Series sedans (which includes, but is not limited to, the M5), which happens to…

I doubt it, actually. The GS was supposed to make the ES go away in many respects, but the ES is still a strong seller. They may both be in the same size class, but they are just aimed at diametrically different audience. The same, I think, goes for the CTS and XTS; they are simply two very different cars aimed at two…

I can't say as I've seen a new CTS yet, but I've some experience with the F10. Having driven it, I genuinely wasn't all that impressed. To put it mildly, it was the best Buick I've ever driven. It wasn't a BMW. The steering was numb compared to its predecessor. The car is also massive, and never got to the point of…

For all of the complaints about price and its shared underpinnings with the Volt, there are still several things to factor in that make it all sound a little less crazy in context:

It seemed work just fine as a parallel; you understood it. The idea is that both try to "make noise" by being polarizing, and the thought process behind either trying to be polarizing as they do is unclear.
