Look at this "new" Buicks: Those are not more than the facelifted mideighty stile. No inspiation, no recognize of the glorius times (remember the `71 Riviera). Just some boring cars. And quality sales after image. Last weekend i visited the seasonstart of the Classic Buick Club of Switzerland. Take a look : www.buickclub.ch . I`m jure, the buicks of the last decades become never collectible status.

Germans Auto Bild report the end of Buick. Bob Lutz is confirm that this is possible. 309`000 cars in 2004 are 1.8% from the market, witch is not enough. Is Buick following Oldsmobile?

Theres is realy a good chance for Alfa Romeo. Maserati and Alfa want start to push her brands together. It makes sence to present the "quore sportivo" and Maserati together in one store, like Mercury and Lincoln in America or VW and Audi in Europe. The customer can grow up with his favorit make.

Maserati is no longer under Ferrari. Its back as a full member on the Fiat family again. They want to relaunch the glory spirit of Maseratis fine art of automobil manufakturing!

Ferraris back again in 1:87! I dream about it! I`m wondering there is no one who makes a kit For me this cars are like art. I had the chance to drive some Ferraris and a Countach. I do it never again. They are noise, hot, uncomfortable and need al your consentration. No easy cruising. If i had one, i would park him on a popular street too, to see, the people enjoied him.

At the time i worked as a car salesman, i had the chance to drive a Lamborghini Countach LP 4000 4WD. It was a former racecar whitch is prepared for the street. This in poison-green paintet, incredible noise monster with his hugh spoiler was built for the track, and not for cruising around. It was realy hard work to get him back in the garage. A long time after this day you have seen the tire marks on the streets from all 4 wheels! The clutch was brutal hard. I am shure, the audiences did not see the car, only me as this overtaxed driver i was.

Wow- Some of you guys had realy juwels in the garage! I stardet 1989 with a 1986 Opel Corsa 1.2 S. Cause of backproblems i canged it to an `81 Buick Skylark. Following: `81 Caddilac Eldorado Biaritz `84 Pontiac 6000 LE Sedan `89 Nissan Maxima 3.0 `89 Mitsubishi Galant 2000 GLSi (poor car ) `90 Lincoln Town Car witch is allways one step longer than the parkingfields. The Lincoln togeter with a `90 Nissan Bluebird 2.0 SLX for my dog are still in use. I never had a new car. As next, i`m dreaming for a Ford model T !

Yes, and since this days we have a lot more cars, only realy small garages and a lausy politic for the individual travic. Belive it or not, its more easy to park with the Lincoln then with a ordinary car. I had short a `81 Eldorado Biaritz, and this car was awfull: no handy at all. Realy pitiable are those guys with their Hummers and big pick-ups. I drive this big cars with under 11 liters per 100 km. I`m a cruiser, not a racer. A friend of mine has a Corvette C5 convertible in yellow. Good looking and great sound. He allways takes his Civic, because this C5 is a gasguzzler.

For all day, i have now a BMW 735 iL in blue with all options. This `89 model is avaiable from Herpa. My favorite car is still in my second garage: `90 Lincoln Town Car Signature also in blue. This model i really miss verry much in 1:87. As a truckdriver, i need some steel around me. I get sick in a small car. If it not will bee so unreasonable, i`d like to drive a Caddy or Lincoln strechlimo. But in Switzerland, all parkingspaces are shorter than my cars actually are.

I agree with Lee! And on the end theres comming another multi-million-incom manager and let die another famous automobile brand and send thousands of faktory workers home.... Louis Chevrolet is rotating in his grave if he`s hearing from a 3-zylinder , 3 meter car with his name on. As next Mazda`s 2 turns into Lincoln and a Cadillac is made on a Saab frame in sweden .

Del Prado is mainly known in french newspapershops for the magazins with included modelcars. They make most nice but cheap 1:43 cars. But some 1:87 fire trucks too. www.journaux.fr/sousfam.php?famille=6&collec=1 You can easely order the models. Also the 1:87 Frech car serie from Atlas!!! Try it! I have made good experiance with them.
