Old people want something that’s good in the snow. I know 15-20 of them that bought the 90’s caddys over a lincoln or something simply because of FWD. You think people gave a shit if their Sedan DeVille could handle? The thing had the suspension tuning of an overstuffed couch.
Yeah, people bitch about these 90’s GM cars but they knew their target market, catered the product to them, and sold a ton of them, profitably, even though they had nothing for enthusiasts. Hard to argue with results. In the exact same way that Honda and Toyota know their target market, people who don’t care about cars that want something that will not break a lot and get good gas mileage, and sell a ton of them today, even though they are slow and boring. Car companies’ motive is to sell cars, not please the enthusiasts.
Very true. The cars where HORRID but the company was profitable. In years of late though they did try to make “Performance” cars V8 FWD. The pontiac GP GXP and impala SS. Im pretty sure they didn’t have LSD’s either. haha talk about fun to drive. :roflpicard:
Yeah, it sucks that they were profitable with crap then, and now they’re putting out the best stuff they ever have and hemmorhaging money. That’s why I really hope the gov’t restructuring rights the ship so awesome stuff like the G8 and new CTS doesn’t go to waste.
The only updates i have are of work done in the back half, we tubbed the rear for bigger wheels/tires, built a backhalf frame, and a roll bar (6point) Only have a couple pics to share from that though. i would prefer if people would refrain from posts on how useless this is on a FWD car as it does serve its purpose perfectly- it makes me happy
