How SOME imports and domestics used to look. Naturally picking two cars aimed at completely different markets. How about we compare ones from similar markets?



Here's some more fuel to the fire, which one of those cars you named is still in production?

Whoopsie

 

eng makes me cry

 

Don't worry GM will come to their senses eventually and bring it back

 

should've never left. i dont' see why GM canceled a RWD V8 platform (F-body) only to add a RWD V8 platform (GTO). i hope they come to their senses, but i'm skeptical. i'd love to see a new F-body, maybe something like that 19-year-old did for a popular hot rodding contest. maybe LS2 powered

 

I was kinda thinking the same thing. They really have no basis for what they did. Does Big Bake know? He know a lot about GM.

 

i don't know what really happened, i just know what's come out of the rumor mill. apparently GM wanted out of their contract with the factory in canada, so they simply canceled the line completely, to return in '07. i just don't see where the GTO fits if that's true.

 

I don't think there was an import directly comparable with a 396 Camaro or a 455 Trans Am back in the early 70s. The closest you would get was a Datsun 240Z, but that's still not the same sort of car. The point was to show typical imports and domestics, and that's what the Civic and Trans Am were. I think Keiichi wanted to see a Z/28 shown as an example.

 

no, i wanted to know why you were doing this at all. there were a lot more cars on the road than trans ams. i didn't need to see a z/28, just wanted to know why you bothered posting this at all.

 

Well at least you got to see cars you don't normally see. You can go back to working on your Chevy sb now.
