So what does GM do they decided to stop making them. GM has gone way down hill. Who would have of thought that out of all the great cars they have made in the past the one that outlasted is the Buick. The cars they make now are all SUVs and some of them are garbage.

Totally agree. If I could afford it, I'd have two Jags. One to drive while the other's in the shop. It's a Jaguar joke and very apt. It'd be twins of this: Access Denied

To fully restore it'd be around $50K including a new straight 6 engine. Plus I'd change the exterior color - one would be British Racing Green (a British Motors color) and the other would be burgundy.

Good luck with the US ever making such a sleek, delicious, decadent, delightful vehicle. Corvettes are tacky. They're "look at me I have a fancy car!" while Jags are "I'm too awesome to care if you look at me or not"

All 5 makes where the holy grail of the auto industry.

Well GM, today you can go to hell with all your producing expensive junk,
then convince the public to buy into it, then today, recall 80% of everything you make.

Remember when the word Cadillac could be used in the same sentence as Lexas?

Also, if Corvettes, (the only reliable car from GM) where smart, they would break away from GM and become their own company.

Pretty soon they were producing excellently reliable cars and they were smart enough to improve their styling for the US market. Today Ford is probably the most reliable of the US brands. But, many people have their own favorite US brand.

I sure wish Toyota still made the Avalon. To me it was a Lexus with Toyota pricing. Loved Oldsmobiles, had a 1970 W-30 442 and an Aurora.

The oil change guy did tell me that someone else could do work so I looked online and found a highly rated auto stop eliminator. $99 and my son who watched the YouTube video instillation had it done in a snap. Makes me happy every time I start the car and see it is off!
