Replying to: mhclawyer (Apr 22, 2006 5:58 pm) 1963 GS 1967 1993 (well i liked it anyway) 1995 and for performance the 1987 Grand National. But the days of RWD are gone.... for another year or two? The Lucerne has some pretty good lines to her. With the V8, it's a pretty good effort. The car I learned to drive with was a LeSabre ( i think '62 ), and it was pretty classy, with plenty of power. Ah, and RWD  The family cars were often GM, and most often Olds. By the 1960's Olds and Buicks were pretty close. Though I am sure people will say the Buick was closer to being a Cadillac than Olds. Unless they owned the Olds. In modern times, I kinda liked the '93 Riv, and Reatta was well styled. Actually, looks wise the most current LeSabre has some smooth lines to it. But these days I prefer a tighter handling car, with a bit more power. A Regal, with RWD and at least 250HP, would be something! Lucerne in FWD is not a bad ride I suppose, give enough ponies and torque of a V8. And I realize, quite a few people don't care, and the V6 will eke out a few more MPG. I am bit picky about HP to weight ratio. -Loren |

Replying to: imidazol97 (Apr 24, 2006 10:15 am) Yes, it would be a good for money to end up in USA as its final destination. I assume they are thinking that as well in say England, where they no longer have the end money from say the Jaguar. If this is to be a free economy, then people will have their choice of the best goods. Be it the Lucerne, or whatever US built car, it will have earn its way to the customers open wallet. If the price, power, ride, and whatever suits the buyer is found in these and other GM cars, people will buy them. May have to add resale, image, reliability, and design to that. The non-fleet sales numbers will do the talking. And this will take away from a foreign makes sales total. By choice, the buyer make the difference. Your point is what about US vs. Japan or German? Are you saying we do not own companies outside our borders? -Loren
