Intrepidation

The hot selling Cruze was developed by Opel I giant case of so what. GME bleeds money like a stuck pig and has little hope of changing that while Opel continues to build cars. And Holden is doing so well which is why most of the brand consits of rebadges and there are talks of shutting i down in the first place. There are several cars developed by Opel have gon on to make big money for GM, most of GM's passenger car lineup owes its developmement from Opel. That's so what.

I don't have the stats handy but one should stop and consider which brand has contributed more towards GM as a whole, off the top of my head... Holden Zeta Commedore and its body styles Camaro Opel Epsilon Epsilon II Delta Delta II Gamma Gamma II And all the vehicles built off those platforms. Oh right, and the V-Body, which until Zeta the Commedore was built off.

Funny, it didn't take 4 versions of the Camry to make it best seller. Just sayin'

No Professional Grade Mazda5 competitor.

Normally but not always, Most publications call the 300 and Charger MCEs but they look and drive like totally new cars. The Mustang is considered and MCE as well. Then you have cars like the Civic, Camry, and Corolla which claim to be "all-new" but look hilariously similar to the old cars save the fascias. Thing is that the Civi's greenhouse is very similar but different. However if you overlay the concept and the 2011 model's profile all of the hard points line up, the rooflines are exactly the same, the greenhouse is exactly the same, the door cutout, B-pillar,wheelbase, and height are all exactly the same. Yeah, they made subtle changes to the sheet metal, but they aren't fooling anyone (well, mostly anyone). Like I said, I bet that "concept" has the current car's interior.

You want massive overhang? Go look at the the Malibu.

The resemblance is uncanny. Maybe Jag (which I'm still not seeing any resemblance) copied Ford!

This is one of those cares where the more I see it the more I like it, especially with better (R8 V10-esque) wheels than the crappy chrome wheels the in the press photo cars.

Interesting. I would say that the 140 looks like a copy, while the 130 looks original. Original is a stretch, since the overall shape is reminiscent of the BMW 1 Series.

The front end looks terrible, without the body color strip it looks like the slightly retarded kid at school trying to show how wide he can open his mouth to fit the 2-liter bottle on a dare.

I bet it has the same interior as the current car behind that super tinted glass.

I think Honda is simply focusing its effort on more important markets than cars, like OHC lawn mower engines

Looks like a refresh of the current car, the only difference in profile being the gentle arch of the rear wheels. Not impressed.

I actually quite like it. I do see some ME-412 in it (not R8) but overall I think its a good looking supercar and for once a good looking Acura. Wonder if they will build it and how close the production version will be... Thing is that the original NSX was a groundbreaking, forward thinking supercar, Honda hasn't done anything forward thing or groundbreaking since the original Insight, save the FCX Clarity.

I just said that.

Not really my thing, too stubby, but kudos to Buick for going after an untapped segment, since the X1 and Q3 aren't sold here...yet. Hopefully its successful for them.

Love the profile, like the rear, kind of like the front. Headlight seem way to small for production. Doesn't look anything like the Fusion which is good.

Which Jag, exactly, because as far as I know there only two sedans: the XJ and the XF and yeah I don't see the resemblance. I know its not an insult to the Fusion, I just honestly don't see it.

I think there's room for both a Cruze coupe and a small RWD coupe slotted below the Camaro to compete with the FR-S and BRZ.

You mean Fixed. At any rate, its a real looker, competes withe the Optima for best looking midsizer. Much better proportionately than the new Malibu. The Hybrid posts some impressive fuel economy estimates. The Engeri even more so, if it gets 100 MPGe it'll be more efficient than the Volt, which is hugely impressive for the bigger Ford an quite embarrassing for the Volt.

Love it, inside and out.

LOL not the Vega.
