2005 Holden Tigra
Well, that's because it needs to hold the hard-top roof. I'm sure that just like the XLR, it takes up more then half of the space when the top is down. I never really liked the look of this vehicle. There's something a bit off about it. I can't place my finger on it.

Another 9-6X shot
You can tell this is a chop because the headlights don't wrap around to the side of the car like the previous pics had shown us. Also, the headlight that we do see a bit of is too high.

C&G Spy Shots: The Next ION!
It's the 06 Chevrolet Vectra which is a South America only vehicle. Though, it's just a rebadged Opel Vectra.

Might I ask where you got these pictures from?

Kerkorian To Eye Board Seat
I agree when people say that he wants GM just because of GMAC. I mean, why else would anyone want to have control over a company that's losing billions each year. If he truly wants GM's automotive unit, I still fear that what he has in store will send GM in a direction that all of it's employees and enthusiasts won't like.

C&G Spy Shots: The Next ION!
Wow. Huge improvement. GM can totally own the market with this if they do everything right. It better have a super or turbo powered engine standard. If not, people will just see this as a fancy Cobalt. I also hope that the next Cobalt will get the rumored AWD option because that means this will too.

Another S3X Spyshot
I think it's strictly overseas in it's Chevrolet form. We'll be getting the Saturn version of it with the styling we saw from the Opel concept that was shown at Frankfurt.

Chinese JiangLing Landwind
It has nothing to do about where they're built. It has everything to do on what materials and engineering the car companies in China are using. Chinese companies that aren't co-owned by Foreign companies are not going to have any expertise in saftey. They're just making cars so they can turn a profit no matter how unsafe they are. I hope this will keep buying Chinese cars in the US. Sure, everyone wants to save a little dough but no one wants to die in a 40 mph accident.

GMT900 Exposed: The Avalanche!
Because we aren't forced to drive smaller vehicles due to the tiny streets in Europe. I'm sure if you had wider roads and more land, Europeans would drive vehicles like these too.

2007 Chevrolet Tahoe Pics and Information
The Tahoe always had 3 rows of seats. I wonder why GM didn't make it so that these can fold into the floor. Everyone wants that now.

GM Daewoo to acquire major Daewoo plant on Sept 30
It's already happening. Half of the new products coming out in the next few years are going to be developed jointly between GM and Daewoo teams.

2007 Saturn Aura
Good news for fans of the concept. Though, I don't think they'll be chrome-plated like that. They're a little too gawdy.

2005 Buick GL8 Firstland
I saw this a couple months ago and it's very unusual. There are a lot of different design elements from other brands that I see in this vehicle. I'm starting to notice that Buick in china is taking a completely different styling route then it's American counterpart. Hopefully when Buicks start to really look good again, they won't need to deviate to far.

2008 Chevrolet Malibu?
Looks like the Lucern with some bad lighting. You can definately tell by the lights. This is definately not the next malibu. If it was, GM would be screwed.

Toyota Trimming Auto-Development Time to 12 Months
I think GM is slowly heading in the right direction. I mean, look at how fast the solstice came to market. GM pulled a toyota and used a ton of bits and pieces from other GM cars to cheapen the cost and to cut down on time since they didn't have to develop any new technology. If GM can do that with every vehicle, they should be okay. They just need to continue globalizing product and materials to keep up.

2006 Saab 9-5 Review
[attachment=65:attachment]While I'm not a fan of the new interior, I think it's good that Saab is moving away from the techno-button overdose look that's been keeping some people away from the brand. Having said that, they could've used different HVAC controls like the ones from the CTS, STS, SRX and a different radio. I don't think Saab is losing it's flavor and if it is, then Volvo is going along with it. Take a look at the S40s interior. Not very Volvo-like at all.

Civic "Real Life" Photo Gallery
It does look a little bit better in these pictures but it's hardly a looker and I'll never be caught dead in the driver's seat of one of them.

Honda chief rules out V-8 engine, for now
The longer they hold off, the harder it will be for them to catch up to everyone else making a V-8. If the executives want a complete car line for Honda, they need a V-8. They could easily make a deal with GM to use the Vortec 4800 4.8L for the Ridgeline or the 5.3L V-8 for a large sedan. Maybe even the Northstar for the Acura line. Who knows. They are more fuel efficient then most of thier competitors and they are reliable. In return, GM could use some more V-6 engine options for their cars or small SUVs.

Opel Theta ? Antara GTC !!!! *Merged Topic*
The next VUE is going to be identical to the Concept? Seriously? GM just went on record saying that. It's too good to be true. I seriously doubt that this will show up as a Saturn. Prove me wrong GM. Prove me wrong.

2007 Saturn Sky
It's not like they got rid of the logo. People will know it's a saturn just by looking at the badge.

GM Mulls AWD Cobalt
A lot of people here are saying that GM shouldn't waste it's time with AWD on the Cobalt. I wonder if a few of those people are the same ones who said GM shouldn't waste it's time on the Solstice. It's time for GM to start leading the way. There are a couple of affordable AWD compact sedans out there but none of them are sold under high-volume brands like Chevy, Toyota, and Honda. Why not have GM lead the way in that department for once. If you still think it's a waste of time: Toyota already has AWD on the Matrix, what makes you think they won't offer it on the next Corolla? They're basically the same vehicle.

Lutz talks about a streched Kappa for Pontiac (MT)
That's what people said about the Solstice being built and look what happened there.

Why don't you google it? Take the lyrics you have and put them in quotation marks and do a search. You're bound to find something about it.

Saab 9-2X
I had the chance to sit and drive the 9-2x Aero over a period of three months and I really liked it. It would be the perfect car for me. The interior although a little awkward looking especially with the cheap looking radio wasn't economy car looking. It seemed to be very well put together(not surprising) and the plastic had a decent feel to it. The seats had that cool two toned leather and while it's not necissarily up to par with the competition, it was exactly what I expected it to be. A cool rally Saab that fills out the brand's lower end. Of course this was just a quick fix but I'm glad they used this car and not the Cobalt as a starting point.
