What do you drive?


Recommended Posts

I was talking about how the original GTO was a family car, and my camaro/firebird comparison was to compare the GTO and the G8

1. Grad Prix is still being made... so no car out NOW has replaced it

2. the GTO makes more power

3. the G8 is out BECAUSE Holden stopped using the platform the GTO was based on, Holden stopped making a RWD 2door hard top

4. What replaced the Holden Monaro(GTO)? the Commodor(G8)

1. GM ceased production on the Grand Prix. The 2008 Grand Prix, which came out last year, was the last model to be made. The G6 has replaced the Grand Prix in Pontiac's mid-size category lineup.

2. So...Have you seen the price of gas these days?

3. The G8 is based on the Commodore, so it's not out because Holden quit making a 2-door RWD chassis. It's out because GM wanted to reintroduce a full-size car into it's Pontiac brand, which the Bonneville filled until 2005. So GM and Holden took the current Commodore, tweaked it and released it in NA as the G8.

4. The Monaro was a sports coupe and the Commodore is a full-size car. You replace apples with apples, not apples with oranges

1. The Pontiac Grand-AM was replaced by the G6 - The Grand Prix is being replaced by the G8

That information is probably all over the Internet, check your facts. The size of the G8 is closer to the Grand Prix than to the Bonneville. Nothing has replaced the Bonneville in the Pontiac lineup.

Yeah the G6 replaced the Grand Am but it also replaced the Grand Prix because both are mid-size cars. The G8 and the Bonneville are both full-size cars. So the G8 has replaced the Bonneville.

Anyway, enough arguing back and forth, we're clogging up this thread lol

My 04' BMW 325i (Dark Blue, Metallic)

The photo is from when I first got it, that's why it still has the dealer plate thing (couldn't find any other photos of it).

Maybe you should come back with a better photo of your BMW !!! You know, without snow... It's august around here!

You truly have no idea about what you're talking about.

The GTO and the G8 are nothing alike... aside from being fast. Different platform/body... different segment... different everything. The G6 takes place of the Grand Prix in terms of price point and has the same interior space as the grand prix.... the g8 becomes the more upscale full size car that takes over for the Bonneville and upscale GP's (GTP/GXP etc)

The only way its similar is that pontiac may be coming out w/ a 2 door G8 to replace the gto... but given the gas prices who knows. They are coming out w/ a g8 truck which will tank... but interesting none the less.

And you do realize the grand prix ceased production.

^ I still can't believe they shoved those FREAKING UGLY rims on the DX-G model (And I rarely feel so strongly about car aesthetics). I understand that those aluminum rims with that crappy plate design is done for aerodynamics (Negligible?) on the Civic Hybrid. But IMO those hubcaps were better in the 07 model. And even at that I bought a LX just so I don't have to be stuck with those hubcaps.

But seriously those are by far the worst wheels ever made. Every time I see it on the road, I throw up a little, thinking, who the hell came up with these junk? The Civic looks really nice IMO, but the wheels just ruined the car.

    • KillerPDF 1.5.1 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.5.1 changelog: Performance Save Flattened PDF now uses multiple CPU cores. Page rasterization is parallelized (PNG encoding runs across cores; the PDFium render step stays serialized since the library isn't thread-safe), so large documents flatten significantly faster while the UI stays responsive (#68). Fixed PDFs that failed to open with "Unexpected EOF" now open (#72). The failure was PdfSharpCore's Flate inflater (SharpZipLib) rejecting the FlateDecode cross-reference stream on multi-revision PDFs - files that open fine in browsers, Acrobat, and Foxit. KillerPDF now detects this and re-opens the file losslessly through PDFium, preserving selectable text. Thanks to @javajon for the report and a detailed reproduction. Grid view renders every page. It was capped at the first 26 pages, so longer documents stopped loading partway through. Tiles also stream in progressively now instead of blocking until the whole document is rendered. Grid Ctrl+Scroll no longer reloads every page when the zoom is already at its limit and nothing would change. Removed a stray horizontal scrollbar (a thin green line) that could appear across the bottom of grid view. Files on UNC / network shares (including the WSL \\wsl$ filesystem) are copied locally before opening, avoiding partial-read failures on network filesystems. Changed Minimum zoom lowered from 10% to 5%, so grid view can pack more columns (helpful for wide/landscape pages) and single-page view can zoom out further.
