I bought an 82 olds Ciera brougham after looking at celebrity, century and 6000. Ultimately the comfort touches and a better price made the decision. I had a friend with an Audi 5000 and she liked the cutlass better and bought one, hers had the 4 cyl too. She said it was so refined she would find herself going 80-90 without realizing. When I went to replace mine in 86 I was suggested I try the brand new Honda Accord sedan 5 speed, it was fabulous in every way, triple door seals, silky transmission, amazing response from the CVCC engine, simple European style interior. Only foreign car I ever owned. Not destined to be a classic but so fun it begged to be used up and enjoyed. ... View more

The timing for an electric C9, fits perfectly with both the evolving EV’s and the Corvette marque. These concepts shown are simply ideas, meant to inspire lively discussion and a potential design direction. Besides, why couldn’t a Corvette be a hybrid initially, then transition to full EV? Or offer both? It’s exciting to imagine the possibilities, and GM is doing just that. I can’t wait. ... View more

My cousin had a green Corvair for college days at Cornell. I remember chilly winter drives! It always started in the snowy NY finger lake region and I can still hear the distinctive exhaust note. Her dad traded the Corvair for a new Chevelle ragtop as a graduation present, still I preferred the Corvair, it was just cool. My grandpa bought a new V6 62 Buick special that he just loved, I was surprised it shared Corvair DNA. ... View more

Pagani Huayra, the car is exquisite, the dash is just too, tooo much.   ... View more

Many positives could emerge from this project. Today’s drivetrain technology, whether fuel or electric is light years from when the Delorean emerged. 3D printing of parts, and CAD for machining were just dreams for example. Assembly improvements and adhesives would tighten tolerances and eliminate fasteners and rattles. Even a short term production could springboard into more types of vehicles and more innovation which is always a good thing dontcha think? ... View more

The cost/performance value of the C4 is undeniable. Yes, there were plenty produced, but in time, the number remaining will change, and so will their value. It just a matter of time. ... View more

The early C4 dash looked like an arcade game and washed out in sunlight. 90’s units had better contrast, I had a ‘92. At that time, GM embraced electronics and the “jetsons” look for dashes in general. Dials were passé. ... View more

The price of admission is the difference here. All these are good suggestions. I had a ‘92 vette with the ZF. I regret selling it to this day. An excellent performer, our taxing authority thought it was worth only $100. My win. 😂 Also, while not my first choice, “British Racing Green” is, and has been always a highly desirable color. ...

I’ve used Mobil one in my corvettes as suggested with great results in all weather due to the inherent characteristics. I found that in vintage high mileage engines it can leak and be consumed as tolerances are lower. The fact it flows better and resists sludge formation has made synthetic a perfect solution for all our cars from Chryslers to Toyota’s which are sludge prone. ... View more

Thank you for this revealing article about my favorite bond film, bond actor/actress and ancillary bond getaway vehicle. There was always an assortment of interesting Ford vehicles employed in addition to the obligatory Aston Martin, in bond films. I died a little when the gorgeous blue Lincoln was crushed in goldfinger. Notable also, were the ‘71 thunderbird landau, and Mach1 in diamonds are forever, along with some notable Vegas strip driving skills. I wonder if they survived in a collection somewhere as well. ...

I’ve used sta-bil for years in my stored mustangs, glad to know it’s still a top choice. Topping the tank, and using premium or the lowest ethanol containing gasoline, has kept moisture to a minimum for my vehicles. Starting the vehicles regularly, keeping rodents and insects at bay are my primary concern. ... View more

I can’t help but think about how far electric/battery technology has come. Combining this with classic vehicles is an exciting possibility. Just imagine the classic vehicles languishing without power trains, that could return to the roads through electrification. No more finicky carburetors! BTW, I don’t really think miles per charge will matter as much as available hp and performance will to most enthusiasts. ... View more

Comprehensive discussion of premium car audio. I had forgotten about some of these pairings. My first Corvette, a ‘92 had the Bose Gold which couldn’t be appreciated in that noisy cabin. Who thought the tweeters should be mounted in the footwells at your feet? Thank the audio gods of today for noise cancellation. Repairing those 4 amped Bose speakers drove me to the brink. Today one can easily have them rebuilt or replaced with readily sourced rebuilt units.  ... View more

I had a friend who bought a beautiful light blue met. Bavaria in 1973. It was navy inside with an automatic transmission. I was not familiar even though beemers were becoming more common in CT displacing Mercedes and Cadillacs. That 3.0 engine was turbine smooth, and realizing one is driving at twice the speed limit was a common problem. I remember also other BMW owners would flash hi beams in recognition, it was like being in a certain elite group.  ... View more

I really enjoyed the observations and comparison here. With computerized engine management came even greater efficiencies and horsepower. I loved my ‘92 corvette, the handling, hp and styling held up for decades until I drove the C7. I regret not keeping the C4 to this day. ... View more

Memory lane. Growing up in CT in the 60-70’s volkswagens were as common as Country Squires. Our family had various bugs, super bugs, dashers and jettas. I longed for a Rabbit for my first car but wound up with a Mustang. I was almost disowned. After driving American my entire life, I still dream of that Rabbit I never owned. ... View more

The moment I finally saw an example of the car, I really felt Cadillac was on to a trend their loyal customers and potential customers would embrace. The packaging was right, I assume there wasn’t enough cachet. Cadillac needed to get more Allantés into style maker garages earlier. ... View more
