Jeff Bridges iz so tight. I love Hyundais. They iz just so tight, an’ I’m glad Jeff iz uh spokesman fo’ dem in the hood

I am sort of bummed about this though

WTF, is this your typical indecisiveness at old GM carrying into new GM? Nahhh. that can’t be…

This would have been a great example of Aussie’s teaching homeboys how to build good cars.

R.I.P. G8 GXP.

From the Horse’s Mouth: Lutz says Pontiac G8 won’t spawn Chevrolet Caprice

General Motors’ newly-appointed Vice Chairman, Bob Lutz, has penned a post on GM’s Fast Lane blog that can be boiled down to two words: My bad.

A flurry of reports spurred on by Lutz’ comments that GM was considering adapting the Pontiac G8 into a reborn, rear-wheel drive Chevrolet Caprice have been downplayed by a number of the General’s generals, including CEO Fritz Henderson. In Lutz’ post, he put the final nail in the G8-cum-Caprice’s coffin saying:

“The G8 will not be a Caprice after all. I’d mentioned it, and said we were studying it, giving it a serious look, because a car like the G8 was just too good to waste.

“That’s all still true. But I have to say that, with my new “marketing” hat on, upon further review and careful study, we simply cannot make a business case for such a program. Not in today’s market, in this economy, and with fuel regulations what they are and will be.”
