Three completely unrelated screenshots I captured of late: #1: Sorry everyone, looks like the holidays aren't coming after all... #2: Police chase in West Coast USA #3: This would have made roadblocks much easier in Need For Speed Most Wanted........
Here is the 2006 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight, a luxury FWD midsize (!) sedan and absolute engineering disaster on every front. The new, short-lived Strato-Rocket 4.0 V8 could put out 375 HP to the front wheels at a whopping 8500 RPM... on a good day. Most of the time, the computer shat its pants well before 7000. Also, it handled like a freight train. The ugly-ass front end didn't fool anyone - under the hood, it was just a hacked-up 2005 Impala.
What if they didn't? In my Automation canon, they lived just long enough to start a few technological dumpster fires before GM finally killed them off in the 2008 recession.
