godofthunder Posted January 16, 2003 Report Share Posted January 16, 2003 Oh man, I wonder what type of Cutlass Supreme? Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NORBI Posted January 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2003 Hope it will be a 88+ and not 60s and 70s since they are easy to get on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted January 16, 2003 Report Share Posted January 16, 2003 I already have a model Intrigue, but I REALLY want a Cutlass Supreme. Where did you read that? I can't find any mention of what models they are offering. If Cutlass Supreme, I hope it's the W-body version!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NORBI Posted January 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2003 It doesnt say what models but it says that "scale modelcars coming soon so i HOPE and PRAY they will have a w-body Cutlass. I just bought a Aurora and Intrigue off ebay but could never find any w-body for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnatGoSplat Posted January 16, 2003 Report Share Posted January 16, 2003 Heheh, I have all but one of those. No Cutlass Supremes though, and scale models of plastic-bodied race cars vaguely shaped like a Cutlass Supreme don't count! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NORBI Posted January 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 Those are the ones you put together but i was talking about metal ones. Actually i have a metal model 1:18 of a Cutlass Supreme drag car 1 out of 200 made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NORBI Posted January 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 BTW did anybody ever see a model of a CS that you put it together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Intl Posted January 20, 2003 Report Share Posted January 20, 2003 Soon the only products Oldsmobile will have are collectibles and spare parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted January 20, 2003 Report Share Posted January 20, 2003 Not even spare parts! Most exterior trim parts are no longer available for my convertible. Oh well, maybe the demise of Oldsmobile will make collectible classics out of all our Oldsmobiles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmrulz4u Posted January 20, 2003 Report Share Posted January 20, 2003 Is that true that Buick will take over Oldsmobile Bravada and make their own SUV next year or late this????????

toastemcutlass Posted January 20, 2003 Report Share Posted January 20, 2003 does anybody know how fast the new auroa v-8 is, after all the motor is a better disigned 3.4 with two extra cylinders can't go wrong there. 250hp and 260tq but not sure how heavy it is or what the power curve is. the new ones look tight but I wish they could have come in two door. I think oldsmobile should go out with a bang, take a alero and make it the aurora look with a crap load of hp. remeber when gm faised out the grand national and had the gnx model with bigger turbos. The Awesome GNX produces 275hp and 360ft lb of torque and was capable of mid 13 second runs in factory trim better yet it was a production car that beat the vette that year with a v-6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Intl Posted January 20, 2003 Report Share Posted January 20, 2003 Is that true that Buick will take over Oldsmobile Bravada and make their own SUV next year or late this???????? Buick could take over manufacturing GM vehicles in China. Shanghai-GM builds cars and sells them there under the Buick name, which is well known there. Buick GL-GS-GLX is based on the Regal, Buick G is based on the Century, Buick GL-8 is based on the Pontiac Transport minivan. The Chinese W-body has more back seat legroom than US models, as they are not sold to the typical worker, but to chauffeur-driven Communist party officials. http://www.autoindex.org/maker.plt?no=2195 I wouldn't put it past GM management to move all the production they can to China. They are starting with engines, do you want a "Genuine Chevrolet" or one Made in China? If this trend continues, buying a new Honda Accord or Toyota Camry may employ more Americans than buying a Lumina. http://www.autoindex.org/news.plt?no=91 Shanghai GM to Export Engines to Canada Shanghai GM has issued the following press release: Shanghai, China - Shanghai GM, a joint venture between General Motors and Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation Group (SAIC), announced today it has reached an agreement with CAMI Automotive Inc., of Ingersol, Ontario, Canada to export engines beginning in late 2003. Shanghai GM will supply 3.4-liter V-6 engines to the GM-Suzuki manufacturing joint venture. The engines, developed by GM Powertrain, will power the new Chevrolet Equinox compact SUV to be marketed by GM beginning in 2004. The program represents the first time that an automaker in China will export high-displacement engines in large volumes to a developed country. The engine that will be exported is a variant of GM Powertrain’s overhead valve V6 family and offers customers excellent quality, reliability, durability and performance. “GM has long been committed to integrating our China operations into our global network to contribute to the development of an advanced automotive industry in China that benefits consumers, GM and our local partners,†said Philip Murtaugh, chairman and CEO of the GM China Group. “In addition,†said Murtaugh, “this is a further example of how GM’s global alliance and partnership strategy is giving us the flexibility to leverage existing capacity at facilities like Shanghai GM for the benefit of car buyers in other parts of the world.†“An overriding goal of Shanghai GM since its establishment has been to become a globally competitive automaker. The export of engines to North America represents a milestone for China’s most advanced automaking facility and demonstrates Shanghai (MORE) GM’s world-class manufacturing capability,†said Chen Hong, president of Shanghai GM. “Only by becoming a part of the worldwide automotive industry and leveraging our parent companies’ strengths can Shanghai GM and China’s automotive industry thrive in the face of growing competition.†Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
