Big if true

Coming from a Chrysler dealership employee, a lot of Dodge dealers won’t touch a Sprinter with a 10-foot pole. You’ll have to go to a Freightliner/MB dealership for major repairs, consequently resulting in major lightening of your wallet.

Shame weighs a hell of a lot more than 2000 pounds, though

Must...not...ebay...

Right, I understand that. But it's not as silly as the thought of the Omega platform having a V8 shoehorned into it. That was my semi-serious request.

Ehh not necessarily. The Audi A7 still has a really slick roofline with a hatch, it can be done. It would look pretty strange to see it with the Impala’s body lines on the rear though, since the trunk goes onto the rear quarter panels.

Would love to replace my ‘09 SS with a ‘15 SS if it had a little more attitude and existed. Shoehorn one of the Caddy twin turbo V6’s or go batshit and throw a chopped LT1 (like the LS4 in mine is a chopped LS6, 13mm off the crank) and make a 400hp FWD middle finger to convention and reason. There might be a way to

The trunk is absolutely colossal. Fold down the rear seats, and you can lay down in it if you’re under 6’2”. If you don’t lay down the seats, you can curl up 2 people and have room for pillows and a blanket. Impalas have always had big ass trunks.

Pretty sure that’s a Lambo, dude

Hey, I whipped a Cavalier for 4 years in college. I was broke as fuck and needed basic transportation across the state and back many times per month. It was a piece of shit car that only ever needed brakes, a serpentine belt, and new tires. I hated it, but it was a product of my circumstances: putting my money into

Remember: Dodge is owned by the company that green-lit the Ferrari The Ferrari

Apart from the outrageous cost for tires and the fact virtually nobody makes snow tires for them, I did some research and aftermarket parts aren't all that unreasonable for the W210 E55. A slight premium over the standard Impala or Taurus, sure, but apart from major drivetrain components, they didn't seem like money

Almost bought an E55. $6k, needed $2800 worth of tires and brakes, but it was a solid car. Thing is a SLED in a straight line.

Need new shorts every time I see the C7.R in action. Tonight is no exception.

65% of the customers at my dealership drive a Tahoe or a Suburban. 25% drive Equinoxes. 10% drive everything else GM makes. I see more Corvettes than Camaros, and I’ve never seen a single SS (Holden Commodore) in 4 months.

Chalking this experience up to awful luck. And registrations expire every 2 years in MA, inspections every year. Too much college nonsense going on, so my inspection sticker wasn’t at the front of my mind.

Chances that this gets used for expired inspection/registration/parking ticket enforcement range from 100% to absolutely, dead-on-balls certain. I got whacked with a $75 ticket in Boston this way because my car was parked overnight (Saturday into Sunday, no regular meter ticketing) and my yearly inspection sticker

Panel wagon was the only acceptable trim level on the HHR. I deal with many of them daily at work, and while they’re usually only in for minor repairs/minor key recalls, they really are absolutely depressing to drive. SS’s included.

If Buicks are being mentioned in the same breath as this, that says a lot of good things about Buick at the moment. Not too many of them to be found nowadays.

New Suburbans have 6 speeds and have had them since ‘07...
