I clicked on the "Future Vehicles" icon and curious to why it didn't go under that forum title ?
Please move this one to the future vehicles forum, since obviously I don't know how to start up a topic in those forums yet ?

Will a RWD Sedan outsell the FWDer ?

I guess Edmunds is lacking Grand Prix fans. I figured this topic would be at least luke warm.

The current Grand Prix is a boring FWD crusier that's taken even more abuse from the cost-cutters than the Impala or Lacrosse. No one can be bothered to give a poop about it, and the Holden rumors are nothing more than wishful thinking at this point.

Well bumpy wouldn't you agree it's a car that GM, desperately needs ? I think GM could sell 75-100,000 units if this Holden Grand Prix was to come out. I think it would need to feature the tactile feel of the others. Gadgetology I think could make the difference. GM, could start with a mega-watt surround sound system, and work all the way up to featuring swivel headlamps.

GM needs *everything* Holden makes. Problem is that once you build it and ship it over from Australia with the big engine and all the fun gadgets on it, you have to sticker it well above $30k and try to sell it to people who expect to get big decontented cars for $20k OTD. GM would do very well to move 40k a year of an unmolested Commodore SS here.

I like the Pontiac front end better though. The Aussie, needs more technology if it wants to play in the U.S. market in the 3 series segment.

bumpy,
I appreciate it pal. That was some very good research and needs to be posted also in the GM forum.
Rocky
P.S. I wonder how many penny's I'd need to save ?
