Everything looks like a Honda Accord.

Isn't "Sport Sedan" synonymous with " Fast Cab "?
Does anybody remember the seventies when Chevrolet couldn't figure out why Novas were not selling in Mexico? No Va loosely translated No Go!!

It does nothing for me. GM styling, especially Cheby division, is bland and boring. The new Malibu missed the boat. I cant wait to see the price tag on this SS. If its anything like the Malibu, it will be overpriced too.

This argument started in the eighties when a buddy of ours (we being muscle car guys) used to get his father's hand-me-down cars. They were always Mercedes....his father was a doctor. Anyways, while we were reading Hot Rod mags, he would be reading Car & Driver. When the 190 MB came out in AMG form he thought it would be baddest car on the planet. So we would tease him about taking a four door Nova putting a bad ass motor in with suspension mods and....VOILA! A contender for the AMG! It was all in fun really! Nobody really built fast four doors back then. He used say its a Sport Sedan! We would laugh. Of course nowa days its common place. Lets face it people who can afford cars are people with kids. And jobs! LOL
In retrospect, MB was a little ahead of their time.

Looks a lot like a G8 GT smoothed over and covered up to look like something new. The car was very popular and GM is still trying to get as much out of it as possible. Too bad they killed PONTIAC instead of making it performance oriented exclusively, they could still be selling G8 GT's among other cars, and we would still would have our F-body cars. Once my G8 GT needs to be replace, I know I won't be going to GM for a replacement.

Back in '05 when no cars were selling, the only car selling was the mustang. Pontiac should have held out for the return of the F car. Incidentally, is the new Camaro an F body?

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
