Well, I guess we should count our lucky stars...cars like Camaro and Mustang are still with us, and Challenger too, at least for the time being.

I've loved the Aussie auto scene ever since "Mad Max" came out, and yes, I am old enough to recall that! The Oz accents were so thick in that movie, they dubbed in American actors' voices so we could understand them here. Kind of unique to dub an English language movie in English!

That Ford Falchon that Gibson drove was tits. And I always loved Goose's Kawasaki.




Your car may do 13 sec @ 103 mph, but my car does 146db @ 35 hz.

G8 wagon vs. Dodge Magnum

the Magnum seems to sell well, I dont see why the G8 wagon wouldnt/couldnt

and hell, I'd rather see them rebadge the G8 as a new Caprice (the rumor I heard about anyway) than see it disappear altogether

The magnum didnt sell which is why its no longer made, same thing with the el camino. Theres a reason why certain cars are no longer made.

I didnt know they stopped making it, let alone that it didnt sell well since I see those ugly things everywhere
