Post News on the Cavalier replacement

Some nice reading, of particular interest to me, since this is my local plant...

I may have to start driving around the plant with a camera and try to get my first 'spy shots'...

Thumbs up

They will probably just drop the name cavalier and sunfire and go with something new, something that might sound exciting to try and win over some of the import crowd and some new domestic customers as well. Which might not be such a bad thing since they didn’t have a great image to begin with. That way they will have more money for the 5th gen fund.

Ya, the word locally is that the Cavalier name is done... it will probably be something totally new.

To be honest, there still is a LOT of speculation over whether there will even be a Pontiac variant of this car....

No way Darth. The most ridiculous tune was the one for the '82 Camaro.

Ca...Ca...Camaro............

That Lordstown plant is unreal. I think it's the biggest GM has. I read an article in a magazine we got when I worked at a dealership. Some of the numbers were staggering. Like how many millions of gallons of water they used every day. And how much power they used. I wish I could remember the exact numbers.

I'm probably the last Citation fan in the USA, but I put 99k miles on mine and loved my X11:
