#3094 of 3540 Re: Tempo... [andre1969] by fintail Nov 02, 2006 (8:11 am)
Replying to: andre1969 (Nov 02, 2006 5:35 am) I remember the 2.3 in the one we had was labeled "HSC", although I don't recall what it meant.   It really was a non-performing car. I am pretty sure my fintail could easily dust it in almost any performance measure, and get almost the same mileage to boot. But for those dark days of domestics...it wasn't the worst thing I guess.

but I want to say that "HSC" meant "High Swirl Combustion?" or maybe it was "Carburetion"? Replies to this message: fintail (Nov 02, 2006 9:43 am)

Replying to: andre1969 (Nov 02, 2006 9:14 am) That rings a bell, something about "swirl". The car was FI, so I hope it wasn't 'carburetion'.

Replying to: carlisimo (Nov 02, 2006 12:17 am) Black Gold was awful. The car had become a caricature of itself by then, bloated and overpriced.   That must've appealed to the gold chain set, I guess.   -juice
#3098 of 3540 Good lord... by andre1969 Nov 02, 2006 (11:43 am)
that '88 Regal ad brings back some bad flashbacks! And now that danged jingle is going to be stuck in my mind for awhile.   Must...get it....out!   Maybe I can get it out by singing something else.   "Good morning America, how are you? You may not know me, but you know my name... I'm the car they call Cutlass Ciera... And I know the roads from Oregon to Maine".   Wait, that's not helping.

Replying to: andre1969 (Nov 02, 2006 11:43 am) I wonder if they have the Buick Park Avenue commercial from the same time? Probably used the same theme.

Replying to: andre1969 (Nov 02, 2006 11:43 am) I remember that Ciera ad too!   Back in the day when that thing was in the top 10 of sales.

Replying to: lemko (Nov 03, 2006 5:13 am) Those are so bad they're painful to even watch. You should have warned me.   -juice Replies to this message: rockylee (Nov 03, 2006 11:57 am)
