Transformers = Badddd @$$ movie

If you want conservatism, buy a Buick.

Pontiac isn't supposed to be conservative. They are GM's sport line. They are supposed to appeal more to the younger masses as opposed to Buick appealing to the old folks. But lately that has not been the case. I am just saying their styling has gone from edgy to Ho Hum all while the competition...like Ford is coming up with great designs like the Mustang, Five Hundred and the Edge. Hell the Focus looks better than the G5 too. And I hate Ford.

GM in general is losing market share and I blame a lot of this on styling. Toyota has done wonders with the new Camry and the Scions...you see those damn things everywhere...take note... I also hate Toyota with a passion. I have always been a GM guy.

I have to give credit where its due and GM just isn't getting it anymore. The only thing they have done right recently is the Tahoe and the Escalade. But the GMC looks like a$$ even tho its the same truck. Their biggest flop tho has to be the Chevy Impala. What the hell were they thinking? They ruined a nicely styled sport sedan and turned it into a Buick. And remember guys we are talking styling here...not drivetrain or performance. The Impala SS is an awesome ride if you overlook the extremely bland styling.

edit:

Ok I just checked the Pontiac website. It seems Pontiac is realizing where they went wrong. Go to http://www.pontiac.com and check out the 2008 G8. That thing looks badass! Thats what they need to keep doing. I think this will give Dodge's Charger a run for its money. 4-door rear wheel drive with a 362 HP V-8. Thats what I'm talking about!!!!! ***insert Tim Allen grunt here***

It also seems the G6 is getting a face lift for '08 as well. check out the GXP series photos for it. I must say its a big improvement.

I think the Solstice and Sky look good. What blows my mind is that the GXP/Redline are coming in at 3,050lbs or so! Thats insanely heavy. Lets consider this. The curb weight on my GTA with EVERYTHING including a cast iron v8 and all the creature comforts, steering wheel controls, t-tops, and including 10, yes TEN way adjustable seats comes in at 3390lbs.

There is no reason a 2 seat roadster should be over 2800lbs. It should be down near 2,000lbs! I think I'd rather have a fiero and drop a GTP engine into it.

In any case, I'm going to see the movie again tonight. Hopefully better seats to enjoy the movie and not crane my neck.
