imcdb ◊ 2004-07-28 17:44	Ben je la trouve particulièrement pataude, cette voiture. Suis-je donc le seul dans l'assistance ?
-- ◊ 2004-11-13 17:24	de toute façon, la 6000 elle sux -- Last edit: yyyeeeaaahhh
oldsdude ◊ 2005-10-18 06:52	That thing is not a 77 Cutlass -- Last edit: 2005-10-18 07:25:38
antp ◊ 2005-10-18 10:10	Some sites say it is a modified 77 Cutlass, other that it is a 76 Cutlass. In both case, it was heavily modified...

Ddey65 ◊ 2006-04-27 18:30	I thought the 6000 SUX looked like a modified Mid-Size 1973-77 GM. The Cutlass was certainly part of that era.
carfan ◊ 2006-07-15 14:36	That is one ugly car, and i'll say it "SUX".
G-MANN ◊ 2006-08-08 20:22	Although it was quite prescient of them to imagine that in the future everyone would want gas-guzzling leviathians. SUX is only one letter different from you-know-what. -- Last edit: 2006-08-08 20:22:56
qwerty_86 ◊ 2006-08-09 06:25	Lol, that's one way of looking at it. Another rumor I've heard is that it means the "6000 sucks" which is a reference to the Pontiac 6000 which was the competitor of the Ford Taurus which was used as the police cars in the movie.
hughie522 ◊ 2006-11-05 12:25	Strange, asymetrical tail lights on this one...
G-MANN ◊ 2006-11-13 02:10	"And I want a car! Something with reclining leather seats, that goes really fast, and gets really shitty gas mileage!"
70mstang ◊ 2007-01-15 12:02	that was one good looking car, not the original but this modified version would be pretty badass with a tighter suspension
Settpistol ◊ 2007-04-07 07:56	the 6000sux is exactly that! a 6000!
Sean ◊ 2007-08-04 03:01	In the movie they use this car make because the direct competitor of the Taurus was the Pontiac 6000
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2007-08-18 00:16	But the IMDB is not always right.
antp ◊ 2007-08-18 00:16	I do not know if it is a 76 or 77 but IMDB is not always right, like Wikipedia, it depends mostly on users info (there were already errors about cars on IMDB, and I corrected some).

MBSL65fan ◊ 2008-01-18 00:35	I asked becuase 8.2 Miles per gallon is very low.
Booster ◊ 2008-01-18 00:40	MBSL65fan wrote I asked becuase 8.2 Miles per gallon is very low. That may come together with the world the movie presents to us; it may be just a bit of irony.
jettalover ◊ 2008-01-18 02:04	It could be a 6000 based on the squareness of the design. Didn't the mid 70's GM cars were talking about have a roundness to the rear of the roof? I don't see that in the picture.
Kenster102.5 ◊ 2008-02-17 05:29	Why are the tail lights different in the shot posted. ROLFMAO, what futuristic car.

Walter Sobchak ◊ 2010-10-05 04:24	To prove it's not all a joke (and not all the General's fault), didn't the Lincoln Mark V get only 4-7 mpg? -- Last edit: 2010-10-05 04:24:33

kurkosdr ◊ 2011-05-02 13:13	MBSL65fan wrote I asked becuase 8.2 Miles per gallon is very low. The Ford Excursion and Hummer H2 do 10MPG of real world mileage.
Megaloryan ◊ 2011-09-02 19:43	Love this, great movie and funky car, i think its totally 80s and i totally love its styling. hmmm, 'I'd buy that for a dollar!'
Cbholloway ◊ 2011-09-18 10:24	Sorry to correct you guys, but that is definitly NOT a 77 cutlass. If anything I would say its a modified 1983 Pontiac 6000 STE or (even more likely) a 1986 Buick Skyhawk made to "look" like an olds cutlass. Notice how the front bumper is swept back rather than at a square angle and the rear end isn't nearly as "fastback" shaped. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buick_Skyhawk
tonkatracker ◊ 2011-09-18 10:26	There is no way that thing is a Skyhawk... it is way to large!
Megaloryan ◊ 2011-09-26 19:24	Not to sound pedantic (but thats inevitable), but isn't a US gallon 3.8 litres, and an imperial gallon about 4.5 litres? MPG would be a little higher in the UK, not that it'd be much to shout about...but who cares.
Moviecarlover ◊ 2012-05-24 12:17	The picture of it Giant of the City is all just fake. But it was scary I reckon.

MPG would be a little higher in the UK, not that it'd be much to shout about...but who cares. It's a joke, meant to be ironic that in a future such as that would value cars with such horrible mileage. To compare, the 1976 and 1977 Cutlass Supreme, with Rocket 350, averages 15 MPG. moviecarlover wrote The picture of it Giant of the City is all just fake. But it was scary I reckon. It's a joke on '80s car ads. It's an ad within the movie. -- Last edit: 2012-07-09 07:40:42

antp ◊ 2012-11-30 15:58	nice! shame that it is like abandoned there
2491tj ◊ 2012-12-10 11:43	the build quality is bad as well....when Clarence and his men are blowing up the shop fronts, he pulls out a locator and mentions robocop is at the steel mill, his accomplice slaps his hand on the roof of an SUX.....look closely...as he slaps his hand on the roof to rally his men, the interior rear view mirror breaks free and drops to the floor!!.
Mycroft ◊ 2013-02-01 05:01	At first I thought this could not be a 1977 Cutlass Supreme, but after looking at the extensive pictures posted I do see it. The structure of the door openings, the side window shapes, the door handle and lock placement are all correct. One thing however, the door sheet metal does not have the same flared sculpted design as the 77 Cutlass. Either the doors were modified, or the doors on this car may have come from a 1977 Chevrolet Malibu sedan (which look closer to me.) I'm surprised at the amount of work that went into this custom vehicle, considering the amount of time it is seen on screen. The entire front end is modified. Though the rear modifications aren't as effective, it still seems like a lot of work for a minor vehicle. For a while, I wondered if the 6000 SUX was actually the original design for the futuristic police car design that was rejected and replaced by the Ford Taurus. Some investigation showed that I was wrong.
Mason66 ◊ 2013-09-30 04:48	If you can get a good look at the dashboard, you can see which car they used. It looks to me like a Malibu as the other models, Oldsmobile and Pontiac, have major body lines they would have had to modify, whereas the Malibu doesn't. I think this is the Malibu 4 door.

Do you blame the prop builders for that or bad GM quality?

MrTaft ◊ 2017-06-11 01:50	Finally, this car (the only remaining example) was 95% restored a couple of months ago. Before and after photos (former clearly showing the original Cutlass underneath the damaged bodywork):

Pongmai510 ◊ 2019-07-26 09:42	8.2 Miles per gallon = 3.49 kilometers per liter (28.68 Liters per 100 km). -- Last edit: 2020-03-03 04:21:59
draginbyu ◊ 2020-01-17 09:55	This isn’t a cutlass it’s a 1983 Pontiac 6000. Gene Winfield’s shop built 3 camera car for the movie. The G body cutlass is an iconic car but the generation before it was even cooler and it didn’t come in 4 door and it was super long with an 8’ hood this car was Definitely an 83 Pontiac.
Animatronixx ◊ 2020-03-03 23:22	I recently saw footage of Gene Winfield of Winfield's Rod & Custom chatting next to the 6000 SUX in his backlot (that's where MrTaft's pictures were taken) and he confirmed having built three of these using Oldsmobile Cutlass(es?! ), so we can put this debate to sleep - Pontiac 6000s were spoofed, but not harmed in the making of these movie cars. Fun fact: From 1974 - 1977 Gene Winfield also worked for Traditional Coachworks of L.A., who built the Cadillac Mirage Pick Up and the Castillian station wagon. -- Last edit: 2020-03-13 22:34:04

Have you seen a Pontiac 6000? Or one of those 70s A-Body Cutlass?

Baube ◊ 2024-08-26 17:34	wouldn't the Bonneville be the Taurus competitor ? 6000 was more the Tempo's one.. at least to me
