I like the really loaded up Lucern with the v-8 and all the goodies- but I don't like sedans and it's not on the list so it doesn't count.

2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

CTS. The Pontiac grille works better on the G8, than the Holden grille works on the Commodore, IMO.

The ultimate retro ride would be a revived Deuce and a Quarter.

Looking like nothing ever produced in Europe or Asia, it would make Buick stand out again.

The old deuce was Maybach-sized, but not Maybach tacky. I think the Maybach looks like an bee-stung allergic Hyundai XG350--bloaty and unhealthy, not luxurious.

Except for the Holden, these choices stink.  The best-looking "sedan" on Earth is the '63 Buick Riviera, which was called a "sport coupe" bodystyle back in the day. Period.

Other great-looking full-figured Jimmies are, in descending order, the '66 Oldsmobile Toronado and the '65 Impala Super Sport. The Nethead here figures you're not asking for "intermediates", "compacts", Mustang imitations, or "sub-compacts" so those aren't included.

In terms of recent models, I've always liked the late 90's GP GTP. Does the 2-door version count?

I think, generally, cadillac makes a nice-looking car too. Oldsmobile had some nice cars too before it got chopped.

When I asked the Cadillac dealer when the new CTS-V was going to come out, they told me that it would be more worth it to spend the extra $25 grand on a Lumina Euro 3.1 instead. What do you guys think?

It was more European than a CTS could ever hope to be!  Nurburgring...it eats Ultima GTRs for lunch!

ah yes, the Lumina does indeed have a rich history behind it:

You may recall the story where somebody buys a Chevrolet, and it never ran out of fuel. Ever. And GM tried to buy the car back by offering the owner a brand-new Chevrolet every year for the rest of his life. You may or may not know that the vehicle in qustion is none other than the Chevrolet Lumina.

You may recall the story where somebody straps on a military rocket engine to the roof of his Chevrolet and then activated it on a lonely stretch of desert highway to meet his gruesome end on the side of a mountain. Well that story is false. The actual events that took place were that someone tampered with the aerodynamic structure of the spoiler/luggage rack combo on his Chevrolet Lumina, which caused him to meet his gruesome end on the side of a mountain.
