Pontiac G8 GXP, Solstice Coupe - Future collectors items? [w/POLL]

Like so many former GTO or Trans Am owners out there, will there be a day when you look back at the 2008 Pontiac G8 or Solstice as "the one that got away?" Probably not, according to Rob Hunting, General Manager at AutoTrader Classic. Despite the fact that the G8 GT is an excellent performance car, it's not really all that rare. Same goes for the Solstice. Furthermore, neither nameplate carries a significant amount of cachet – incidentally, that's something that was completely lost when GM inexplicably dropped classic names like ... Read more →

Future Classic: Jeep XJ Cherokee Dan Roth

It's easy to deride American Motors Corporation as mediocre to the point of failure. Legions of fans will argue vehemently that the last independent was a nimble innovator that consistently ...

Future Classic: Ford Focus SVT Dan Roth

Click above for high-res gallery of the Ford Focus SVT All the current clamor for the Euro Focus is reminiscent of the happenings nearly a decade ago. Ford's Escort had quite run its course with a ...

Future Classic: 1984 Chrysler Minivans Dan Roth

Think of what the automotive landscape looked like nigh on 25 years ago. Mentioning "family car" in 1983 would have conjured a station wagon. Some of us dig wagons, while others think we're daft ...

Future Classic: 1990 Nissan 300ZX Turbo Dan Roth

It was a life changing experience, coming across that pearl white 300ZX Turbo one warm summer evening. It was the first car that I ever photographed with a zoom lens, staving off boredom waiting for ...

Future Classic: 1991-94 Nissan Sentra SE-R 2 years ago on Autoblog

Wants some desktop wallpaper images of the 91-94 Sentra SE-R? Click above Nissan has a history of giving BMWs a run for their money. Back when they were going by Datsun, the 510 was a capable facsimile of a BMW 1600/2002, but cheaper. Performance cred attained, Nissan continued to pump out various ...

Future Classic: Eagle Premier 2 years ago on Autoblog

Future Classic: Dodge Colt 2 years ago on Autoblog

With the rise of the import trend, we're seeing Musclecar-era Japanese rides attain some of the same cachet as domestic iron from the same time.

Future Classic: Ford Taurus 2 years ago on Autoblog

Bear with us here, we know that this must violate some grace-period restriction on canonization, and that the Taurus is bound to be a polarizing choice, but at least hear us out. In the early 1980s, the American automobile manufacturers were getting their asses handed to them. Ford was late to the ...

Future Classic: '93-'97 Mazda MX-6 LS 2 years ago on Autoblog

When the 1993 MX-6 debuted, it made our hearts sing. Here, finally, was a Mazda 2+2 that combined all the fun of its predecessors while banishing the remaining 80's-era funk that afflicted Japanese cars. Out went the plasticky interior and stubby slab-sidedness of the '88-'92 model. Style and ...
