The ATS (and the new Camaro) get that honor, I think that Buick is FWD?

Go to 1:00

I tell you what, I could be a "Caddie Man" real easy. Damn it Camaro!

I can tell that Reuss is super proud of this car.

BMW should be panicking.

Actually, there is a story behind the 140S...

A year or so ago, GM had a big production at the California design studio, showed media a room filled with shelves of concept models, entire Cadillac lineups on some. You could easily make out design proposals for the ATS/CTS and proposals for the RWD flagship sedan and Ciel-ish convertibles.

On one shelf, was a Pontiac concept. It was the 140S...just with Pontiac design cues on it.

Essentially the 140S is a recycled concept. GM apparently thought it was good enough to bring the idea back to life.

Yep, found it.

Not quite, though its an awesome first stab at its market and a solid foundation to build off of. My only real gripe is that Cadillac needs a stronger V6 offering. The BMW 335i turbo is probaly going to run circles around the V6 Caddy, but I suspect it might not feel as good as the ATS. can't wait for first drive test from the mag rags.

Why do you say that? Isn't their 6 ~same HP? And I think they have a weight disadvantage.

Did you notice my poor chop skills on the Buick?

Actually, the Pontiac connection to the 140 makes even more sense, now. That car looks to me like a "modernization" (from some angles) of the G6 Coupe...

Living in the new house in Lombard...........Jeeze what did we ever do before tv and internets. Need furniture though as sitting on the floor is not fun.

Number 3, with the 2" of freezing rain we got here Thursday/Friday AM, how did people live before ELECTRICITY? haha! Thursday, the temp was 31-32...at 6 AM this morning, the windchill was -10... brrrzy-wrrrrzy! Had to chisel my way into the truck...

Glad you're moved in. No/little furniture should take you back to your college days...and weren't they fun times?!

Scarrzz · 01-14-2012, 02:28 PM

Guys, I just thought I'd let you all know that we're in the process of retirement/moving to Colorado Springs. Different house, same occupants. Kinda like here.

I'm not wandering off, just spending lots of time dazed and confused. Many irons in the fire.

I'm still here, just have the "here" swapping to "there."

Can't wait for some production ZL1 goodness to roll out.
