Definitely a sad day. Only a couple days after the last one rolled off the line, I drove past St. Thomas Assembly on my way to St.Thomas Dragway. The lots were empty and the office windows dark.
It's too bad as these cars really had the market cornered. With a powertrain upgrade, they could have soldiered on.

Pipe.
Would be a good buy for the right person at half the price. Looks nice.

Wouldn'ta been the first time I regretted trading a car for a gun either.
No contest, GT40.
Poor, poor Pontiac. Lutz promised us you would be an American BMW by this time... What could have been.
Proof that Governemnt cost cutting should start with these self-justifying asshats.
If people wanted 56 mpg cars, they'd buy them. Wait, they can't because of heavy handed GOVERNMENT emmissions and safety regulations. You can't get blood from a stone, and there is a ceiling for what people will pay for cars.
With the current rules in place plus the propsed ones, the only choice you'll have is the Chevy Volt, Chrysler Amp and Ford Ohm.
Do away with all this sillyness already.

Definitely NASCAR's highest point. So badass.
A world beater it is not, but a work horse it is. To fill a slot as a general purpose, durable car, they just can't be beat.
Really, thats always been the point of the Mustang. You can find dozens of cars with the same performance that cost MORE. It's a balance of performance and value that sells a lot of cars.
If you want world beating performance you can buy a ZR1, if you want an affordable car that's a ton of fun, you can buy a Mustang.

It's horrific that they would add that statement to the sticker like a Surgeon General's warning on a pack of smokes.
Just ridiculous.
Just ridiculous.
Correction;
Jaguar build quality.

It looks like that list is ranking the top selling cars manufactured in the USA (from all manufacturers), which isn't surprising since Honda and Toyota build and sell a lot of cars in the US. Of the total amount of cars sold in the USA, those from foreign automakers outnumber those from the Big 3.
What you originally said was that very few of the Big 3's individual totals are built in the USA, which is not the case. The opposite is true, the majority of the vehicles sold by the Big 3 in the USA are built in the USA.

Ahh the bustle back Sevilles of the 80s. My Grandpa had 2 of them throughout the 80s and to this day were his favorite car. Distinctive no doubt.
Not too surprising since the current STS goes so unnoticed. The CTS seems to grab all the attention while traditional big Caddy buyers just buy the DTS. It's too bad, because the current STS is a really nice car.
I always thought it's biggest problem was that it looked too much like the CTS. Without a point of reference for size, I walked by a few when they first came out and dismissed them as a CTS.

False. The majority of the Big 3's vehicles are built in the US. The opposite of "very few". By the time these taxis will be rolling out, Ford will be manufacturing the Transit on US soil as well.
I have noticed a lot of the purpose built taxi Crown Vics of the last 5-6 years or so are the long wheel base versions which actually offer a ton of room in the back. If you hop in an ex-cop car, you're right that foot room was somewhat tight.
Ford at least, does make a comparable vehicle. The Transit and Transit Connect. I believe the Connect was even thrown in to get this job. Why they chose the Nissan, I don't know.
Wow that is just terrible. Hello Johnny cab.
Actually, it reminds me of the old GM dustbuster vans. There's a design that needed to come back.
Also, I'm all for a free market, but you'd think that they would have gravitated more toward an American company. Who knows, maybe Nissan undercut the hell out of everyone else.

I was in for this when it was a G8 ST and I'm in for it now. Realistically, they should be asking for 100,000 down payments.
