I'm not really impressed to see that an S4 can beat a buick regal around a track. I do like the looks of it though.

I think the Opel looks great. Good news for Olds. I wish they would have retained the Pontiac brand as Olds has that old man stigma. You can thank the Chinese for that.

That is a great show. I like it better as far as car reviews over Top Gear. We had Fifth Gear here in Canada but lost it about a year back. The female drive on this show would put most of us to shame.

Do you mean Buick? Oldsmobile was discontinued years ago.

I wonder where they got 3700 lbs for the S4.

Yeah Olds is gone daddy gone. I still think they should have kept Pontiac - at least it had an identifiable market niche of people who actually buy cars, and the "sporty" aspect of the brand could have helped GM as a whole. Dang, I almost cared for a minute there!

£37,000 - currency, not weight.

That's how much an S4 costs in the UK.
