What the heck is a Laguna? Is it similar to a Malibu?

Re: GM rear tail panel?
They used them in Asscar. Not sure if the chicken or the egg came first. I'm sure it was an aero thing though.

Re: GM rear tail panel?
I used to be into it when I was a kid. Visited the local Big Boys, I was a welcome guest being th 14 y/o that could speak directly with the pros and probably had some of my ideas intergrated or at least attempted. Once I realized that they weren't "stock cars" and the only thing that changed was the rules I lost interest. We were coming into fuel injection big time and no change and so on. Now every car is a four door FWD car and now Toyota is invovled? I haven't been into them in so long I still call them Winston Cup cars, you should see the look I get from an active fan!!

Re: GM rear tail panel?
I bet if there was horizontally opposed engines in them you would be interested.
