My day yesterday. I drive by the Pontiac lot (on the way to the Ford lot) and see 7 new GTO's on the lot, they were all there two weeks ago. I drive to the Ford lot and see 3 05GT's coming off a truck all pre-sold and 3 Roush Stage 1's coming off the truck, 2 presold.

Not to mention the fact that I can not find any mention of a train wreck in the Blairstown Iowa newspaper.
http://www.gazetteonline.com/2005/04...traincrash.htm

You must not have looked very hard. I found it with one quick Google search.

The reason I didn't find that article is because I seached the Blairstown Ia newspaper,
I didn't look at other newspapers in the area.

It looks too "generic GM" for me. It could be mistaken for a half-dozen other cookie-cutter GM cars. I guess if you're in to that, it's fine.

Now you tell me what's so similar about these 2 cars. If these 2 cars looks similar to you, then I don't know how 2 different cars looks like.

No, I didn't though that Cavalier and 6 look alike, I knew and I still do. You know that too, you just don't wanna admit that your car looks like Chevrolet. You said that Mazda 6 reminds you of Taurus, what else is there then to talk about?

By the way, I still didn't get the answer what's so similar between GTO and Grand Am.

I won't admit it because THEY LOOK NOTHING ALIKE! Let's take your examples shall we:

First Pic: They're both blue and they have a round back up light. Big freakin' deal! The Cavalier has a big red taillight that runs the across the entire back of the car whereas the Mazda does not. The Mazda also has multiple round elements in the taillights, the Cavalier does not. The Cavalier has the license plate in the bumper whereas the Mazda has it in the rear panel. The Mazda also has dual exhausts with rear cutouts whereas the Cavalier does not.

Second Pic: Yes, there is a vague (and I mean vague) similarity in the shape of the taillights. Again, so freakin' what? That in no way means they look alike.

Don't even bother posting a front end comparison because there is absolutely nothing similar about them other than they both have headlights and a grill.

I said it reminded me of my Taurus SHO because of the way it drives. I said nothing about looks.

I think you need to have your eyes examined. Better yet, have your head examined because I think you're crazy as well as blind.



Does anyone else agree with me?

They do look alike, deal with the fact that you're driving look alike Chevrolet. No, they don't look 100% same, but previous generation of Cavalier and Mazda 6 look alike. Just take a good look at 2nd picture. Tail lights are almost the same shape. Same thing with front lights. They do look alike, if you don't want to admit, heck, that's your problem.

Take care.

You are absolutely nuts! Having taillights that are the same shape has nothing to do with them looking alike. These cars do not look alike:

Yes they do. You take Chevrolet Cavalier, make it look more like a sport car and you'll get Mazda 6.

So now you're saying if you take a Cavalier and change the way it looks, it'll look like a Mazda6. Uhhh-huhhhh. Like I said, get your head examined.
