1. It's cool
It's even got a lot of ideas that could be put into next year's models, GM really needs to get in gear.

2. but is the average us car buyer
going to purchase this concept? this is their concept platform that will be used in all the cars they build world wide. they will change the bodies to suit each market as well as some wheelbases. gm is on the ball when it comes to concepts but the american car buying market is more diverse than any other market in the world. trying to decide what to make for the us market is a crap shoot

7. actually the gm products are not that bad
they are just a half step behind the rest of the world. the buick is a very good car but just a hair below the same standards as the japanese in this class of cars. i have owned cars from sweden ,japan,france,and usa, and i have had good and bad in every model i have owned.

4. in the worst way?
you mean all beat up, with bondo barely holding it together, leaking what little oil it doesn't burn, with a shorted out electrical system, ripped upholstery and no back seat?

I could sell you my car. It looks kind of like that one.

5. And delivered 18 months late, dropped from an airplane at 75,000 feet
Edited on Sat Apr-22-06 08:52 PM by Rabrrrrrr
smashing his house, exploding the entire block into a fiery cauldron of hell, leaving him a burned, beaten, broken miserable shell that slowly dies to death from pain and excrutiating misery over the next 27 years in a hospital with no windows and nurses with bad breath and a complete dedication to 1) refuse all visitors, and 2) prolong the suffering far beyond the limits of what any human being should be expected to endure, laughing great gut laughs at the end of their shifts while cattle prodding him and shitting in his feeding tube.

"In the worst way" indeed!

11. As a DBA, I think I need one just because of the name.
It would be as funny as the custodian at my elementary school who drove - of course - a Duster.

12. Looks like a side-impact with any teeth to it would rupture
them there tank thingies in the middle. Seems line mounting them in the opposite direction would be smarter.

Yeah, like I'm an engineer that has any idea what the hell I'm talking about anyway. Although, there were all those pickups in the 80's that went kaboom with a side impact (gas tank mounted outside the frame).
