@abgwin: the irony was the Barracuda was launched a couple of weeks before the Mustang, however the 1st-gen was a fastback version of the Valiant.

@Sarcasmic: I saw this story on Autosavant as well [www.autosavant.net]
It could be interesting to see the global Ranger in North America (btw, the Ranger name beginned as a trim package who was available in the Bronco, F-100 and the Ranchero) as well as the smaller Courier pick-up currently offered in Mexico.

I spotted on Motor Trend, this video interview with Barry Newman [www.motortrend.com]
It could be cool to imagine also a remake of Duel as well ;-) or even a merger of both road movies then we could title "Duel at the Vanishing Point", with Kowalski not only chased by cops but also that old red big Peterbuilt truck from Duel and instead of the Challenger who end against the bulldozers, it's the truck who crashed against the bulldozers.
and I spotted this video-tribute to the car chases of various movies like Bullitt, Duel, French Connection, Vanishing Point, Blues Brothers, Gone in 60 seconds, Bad boys, Smokey and the Bandit, etc....

@EndlessMike:
I taught of the same think, unless they means a Altima coupe or could be possible then Nissan also plan a coupe version for the Maxima?
I could be tempted to consider even if they aren't in the same league,...

at 1:14 PM on Apr 15
@Mike the Dog: don't forget also the AMC V8, Chrysler made them until 1991 when the old Jeep Grand Wagonner retired.
I wondered what if Chrysler had refined the LA-block in a way similar to what GM did with the small-block Chevy with the Gen II/III/IV/V?

@LamerX: this pic make me nostalgic, I miss these old Accord hatchbacks who remember the 1986-89 gen with the hidden headlights similar to the Prelude?

Also, there should be an additionnal line between Renault and GM with their joint-venture in commercial vans in Europe like the Opel-Vauxhall Meriva/Movano with the Renault Master/Traffic.

@mytdawg: A bit of trivia, Renault didn't plan originally to sell the Logan in France, but thanks to the net and the mouth-to-ear, folks heard of the Logan and asked to bring it in France.
