1970 Buick GSX with 455... for all your who want gas mileage a 350 option was also available...

GS455: 455 V8 350 bhp @ 4,600rpm, 510 lb-ft @ 2,800 rpm.
GS350: 350 V8 315 bhp @ 4,600rpm, 410 lb-ft @ 3,200 rpm

supra TT no doubt. that would cause a huge stir in the sports car industry. they could make it with bigger turbos so it puts down 400hp stock, have limited slip diff., advanced ABS system w/stock BBK, 2 seater, lightweight, great handling and style to go up against the new ZO6 and srt-10 viper. They could even use the new 3.5L toyota block with stronger internals and probably get 450hp stock, very easy to mod the hell out of.

That's the intent behind the next-gen CL that they're developing. It's supposed to fall in between the TL and RL. Rather than just making something that resembles a 2-door variant of the TL.

As for replacing the 12-cylinder variant...I think they've got that covered.

I forgot about the BMW 8-Series. My favorite BMW... I don't know why because it's kind of bland looking...

They hadn't had the 6 series for a number of years. Then the 8 came along. The 6 filled the void that they needed to contend with the CLK. I'm not saying it was a direct replacement. Just one to fill a segment gap.

bmw 2002 (or even the first 2 gens of 3 serries.
small nimble 4cyl, that doesn't look like a 1 serries.



The mini almost fits the bill, but the 2002 has it's own legacy separate than the mini.

Sure it will sell. But I know I'm not the only guy on this board who think E31 is a much better looking coupe. I say fawk the Bangle-butt.
