I toss my votes in for Last Man Standing and 16 Blocks. The movies in and of themselves may not have been blockbuster, but Willis' portrayals were utterly galvanizing.

In his performance as world-weary, almost retired Det. Jack Mosley, you almost feel the weight of his every exhausted step. It becomes clear early on that Mosley is no saint, but Willis' performance draws the audience to his side nonetheless.

In contrast, John Smith in Last Man Standing was pure badass!
The ultimate road trip begins in downtown Idaho Falls, ID. After a picnic lunch on the Snake river greenbelt, admiring the scenic falls and tossing crumbs to the Canada geese, its time to load up the Caddy for some incredible mountain driving!

Taking highway 26 north from the downtown area, the cityscape quickly gives way to picturesque farmland. This southeastern part of the state is the heart of Idaho’s famous potato country. A quick glance in the rearview mirror will confirm the rising elevation, and soon enough you’re in the foothills of the famous Teton mountain range.

The sun is still high in the sky as the Cadillac glides along. Each bend in the road reveals another breathtaking view. Take a quick pit stop at the Rainey Creek Country store in Swan Valley and you can enjoy a guilty pleasure; a double dip of their famous square ice cream.

Much of the local traffic would continue along highway 26, skirting the mountains along the Palisades reservoir, but this is the ultimate road trip in a Cadillac SRX! From Swan Valley turning north on SR 31 leads you to the Teton Pass and some of the most awe-inspiring driving you will ever experience. As you follow the pass eastward in the late afternoon, the local wildlife will just be starting to stir. This part of the country is known for elk, moose and grizzly bear, but there are also mountain goats, wolves, eagles and the highly elusive bighorn sheep in the mountains. The pass quickly descends as you cross into Wyoming leading you straight into your first night’s destination; Jackson Hole. After a night enjoying the “shootout” in town square, shopping and perhaps a dinner show with the Bar J Wranglers, you can settle in to one of the numerous luxury hotels in the area.

The next morning you top off the tank in the SRX and head up the valley along highway 89. Glance to your left and you’ll want to stop for a quick photo of the magnificent Grand Tetons. Viewing the Tetons from the Wyoming side affords the best view of all four of the major peaks. There’s still some great driving ahead, and before long you’re entering America’s first (and arguable most famous) national park; Yellowstone!

Driving through Yellowstone follows a rough figure-eight pattern. But as excellent as the Cadillac is, you just won’t be able to experience Yellowstone without getting out and stretching your legs. The park is full of hiking trails with varying degrees of difficulty, as well as the tourist spots like fountain paint pot and the grand canyon of the Yellowstone. Carefully navigating the SRX around herds of bison and elk, keep working your way around the loop and take in the scenery and wildlife.

As afternoon fades you steer the Caddy toward your final destination – the Old Faithful Inn. Handing the keys back to the SRX will be somewhat easier after a restful night in this signature hotel.

GM global car.... anyone remember the 80's version of the Pontiac LeMans?? Ugh. Let's hope the General does better this time around.
Is this the phone the LG folks were whining about - that the KRZR is supposedly a copycat? Judging from these pics, the only similarity is the thin form factor.
Yes, LeMans blue with white stripes. I'm already standing in line for this car!!!

I had a '68 when I was a teenager and I kick myself every day for not hanging on to it. So kick the GM machine into gear and BUILD THIS THING ALREADY!!!

And please don't water it down for production like you've done so many times before. Bob Lutz will be my hero if this gets on a fast track a la the Solstice.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
