2 Sweet Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I've always thought a CTS-V would be amazing with AWD, especially if they managed to produce one that wasn't quite so heavy. I guess I would want a 2nd-gen CTS-V, AWD, 6-speed manual, with some kind of "track pack" option (less weight, more aggressive tune, a couple suspension tweaks). Paint it Nassau Blue (C5 color). It would be a hard choice between the coupe, sedan, and wagon. In a fantasy "it would never happen" build, I would want a Holden Coupe 60 with an LSX454R (N/A) or some kind of custom LS-based setup (turbocharged). I would also want a late 70's Chevy crew cab 4x4 dually powered by a beefed up Duramax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdyguy2k Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 AWD Gen 2 CTS-V Sedan/Wagon would absolutely dominate the AWD sport sedan market, especially for us cold weather state people. This, but lets make it a twin turbo, with say around 800 hp. That would work rather well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMrWes Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 In a fantasy "it would never happen" build, I would want a Holden Coupe 60 with an LSX454 Yes please! Add AWD, a twin turbo kit and the same suspension package used on the new Z28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 First I would COPO one of those 1967 Firebird convertible bodies GM licenses and sells in their Restoration catalog and then outfit it with all the underpinnings and drive-train from a new z/28. Exterior painted mariner turquoise, interior a 1969 camaro delux houndstooth setup in black. completely bone stock looking outside and in, and even keep the crank windows. Then I would have truly the last New Pontiac in existence and it would be badass, instead of the last pontiac being a weak sauce g6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Jeep Hurricane Hellcat. 2x Hellcat motors = 1414 HP, AWD, 4-wheel steering, and it's a black hole of fucks given, literally compacting surrounding fucks given into a singularity of ultra dense fucks which shall never be given. Or, I guess a modern Dodge Tomahawk with the Hellcat motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble Maker Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Farva: It doesn't matter cause I'm going to win ten million dollars. Thorny: What are you going to do with ten million dollars, and you can't say buy the Cleveland Cavaliers. Farva: I'd buy a ten million dollar car. Thorny: That's a good investment but I'd still pull you over. Farva: Bull Shit. You couldn't pull me over, and even if you did I'd activate my car's wings and I'd fly away. [Farva pulls off ticket from cup and pop spills all over him from the hole behind the ticket] Farva: Dammit, you burger punk. You son of a bitch! ..

greg1647545532 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Where is Typical Jalopnik Guy to chime in with "brown Passat wagon TDI 4Motion manual" I don't like diesels or 4WD or VWs, but I would seriously consider buying something like a Cruze SS Wagon -- 270hp from a turbo 4 driving the front wheels, in LTZ trim with a manual trans and no sunroof. In burgundy, not brown, because I'm classy like that. I already drive a lowered Mazda5 wagon with a manual so I've got some cred, although I haven't bought a new car in a long time so I don't think GM would ever listen to me. Bonus points if they replace the mac struts with double wishbones. I don't think you can get a family car with double wishbones anymore, though. I might be interested in a Miata with a V6. That always seemed like a winner to me, but I can see how it's a slippery slope, next thing you know you're competing against $35,000 low volume sports cars and the Miata has always been about being cheap and popular.

I too love the wagon style and wish they had it in the U.S. If they come to the U.S. with the RS I might have to seriously reconsider keeping my car for 10 years before I trade/sell...

I can't get excited about Alfas unless they intend to sell them for working-man money, which I don't think they ever will. They're changing up the landscape of Alfa to compete with BMW/Merc/Audi. All AWD/RWD, no more MiTo or little runabouts like that which sacrifice performance/luxury for a price point. Doubt it'll ever be "working man" money for a new one, but used ones will be there. That 2uettottanta was floated a while ago as a companion car to the Mazda MX-5. They ran into difficulties (Alfa being boneheaded about every Alfa being built in Italy) so they're likely going to share a platform and sell under the FIAT/Abarth badge sometime in 2016.
