WHY.... Because GM needs to CLEANHOUSE and get some REAL Engineers thatknow what they are doing! But the GOOD O' BOY NETWORK rules at GM and that is their biggest weakness.

At GM it is NOT WHAT YOU KNOW, but WHO YOU KNOW or BLOW!!!

Hi Cody,
What year/model Cadillacare your referring to ?
I know Cadillac has the Concept Coupe, & a 4 door sedan, but
they are big dollar vehicle.
I don't believe the prices have been released on the
new Camaro and `if their V6 will have a 6 speed.
Cody, look forward to your post. Thanks.

I like the style but its not a practical car well not for my area where I live. The pot holes will eat that car here. lol

If they come out with that car I think they will tone the styling down a bit. Once the car comes to America and North America it will have to change since we have rules and regulations for our road wrothy vehicles.

The should have made all MC's Rear wheel drive. I wish my O7MC was rear drive. The GXP is also nice. For the people who never seen the GXP:

Hi Cody, I think the 3.6L 304 HP is a sweet engine in the
Caddy, but it's a 4 door sedan, and with that engine/equip
it is around $40K....WoW.
I was happy to see that it Won Car of the Year,
but it's way out of my price range.
I hope that the Camaro is priced like the Mustang GT
and that they also put the 3.6L in the base Camaro.
That would be a sweet balanced ride.
A 3.6L with 304HP in a Camaro with a 6speed : )
starting in the low $20K area : ) ?
A camaro Z28 with the Corvette Engine for under $30K ?
To dare 2 Dream : )
Thanks Cody & bonangfor your posts/input.

I think you would lose alot of buyers if the MC was RWD. I know one of the reasons I picked a monte was because it was FWD. This is probly why the MC is such a good seller in the OH,PA,MI area. RWD's suck in the winter!

[/align][align=center]Hi Alex,[/align][align=center]I think that use to be true, but with today's electronic's[/align][align=center]like traction control/stability control/anti-lock on RWD vehicles,[/align][align=center]it's not a major problem, like it was in the past.[/align][align=center][/align][align=center]I've never driven on ice or snow, but from my research,[/align][align=center]the new systems seems to be getting the job done in area's[/align][align=center]of the country/world that have ice/snow road conditons.[/align][align=center][/align][align=center]I think if I lived in those area's, I would need a AWD system : )[/align][align=center]Thanks for your posts/input...[/align]
