Separated at birth?

[Don Kiyoti]

In traffic today I saw one of those huge Buick Roadmaster station wagons. I thought, "What was GM thinking?" Then I spied one of these:



Almost immediately I realized the front end reminded me of:



I want GM to succeed, really I do. But not until they hire some new sylists.

Solstice/Sky has some of the best styling going right now. And they're cheap.

Just try getting one... Almost impossible, and not readily available for list price.

GM should also hire some good engineers, not just stylists.

Actually they stole the design from a design student who was looking for a job and passing around his resume which had the Solstice design.

BTW DonKiyoti, the Buick front end looks nothing like the Pontiac's.

They all look like bastard versions of the cab from Heavy Metal.

In other words, fugly.

All the vehicles in Heavy Metal magazine (way before the movie) are really cool!

I didn't suggest the Buick looks like the Pontiac. I was just thinking about the Buick as a really bad GM idea when I saw the Pontiac. The Solstice is a car that looks better in pictures than in real life.

I disagree. I've seen quite a few here in SoCal and I think they look boss. If only they worked as nice as they look...
