Nope, but my college roomie had a Laguna S3 with a 454/ 4 speed. I like them.

So did Texaco. (8 mpg, City)
Say, those Laguna Club meetings must be more lonely than Gilligan on Saturday night (Oh wait that's a different kind of "Lagooner")
Didn't Brooke Shields make a movie with a blue one . . . .
(Hey, you try to make jokes about a big, low-compression '70s car named after a beach)

Not me, but I wouldn't mind. You've got one of the few affordable "muscle" cars still out there. De-smogged and with the usual performance improvements, your A-body will hold it's own with the cream of the crop A-bodies.

I've seen a few "crop A-bodies" around (That is ones with "crops" growing up through the huge rust holes that resulted from GM's abysmal rustproofing in the '70s and the ubiquitous vinyl tops).
The Laguna is better than most '70s "mid-size" cars because at least the huge, chrome-plated railroad tie of a front bumper is covered by some rubberized plastic. And then there are those three consecutive NASCAR championships Junior Johnson and Cale Yarborough won.

Does anybody but me find it strange that Johnny Hunkins, editor of "Pop Rod," includes a bunch of "pull quotes" from himself in "his" magazine?
(For those who slept through high school journalism, a "pull quote" is an "an excerpted line or phrase, in a larger or display typeface, run at the top of a page or in a mid-column box to draw attention to the text of the article or story from which it is quoted; blurb.")
Stuff like "Lagunas are going to be the next big thing" -- Johnny Hunkins*
"Our current Chevelle project car drips cool everywhere it goes, which by default makes me the coolest guy at my kid's school ..." -- Johnny Hunkins
I mean, is he some kind of expert? Is he trying to become a "personality" like Freiburger? Does he just like to see his name in headline-size type?
*For illustration purposes only (Hunkins may not have actually said this . . . yet)
