FIRST LOOK: DCX Minivans
Actually looking it again, it sort of reminds me of the Buick GL8 Firstland in China.

You've been playing Postal 2, haven't you?

Another pushrod engine dead?
Now that the '08 Malibu ditched the LZ4, there aren't many cars left with it. G6, Aura, Impala, that's pretty much it. And by the sound of things, the next iteration of these cars will use the 3.6L as well. So the family is dead, basically? EDIT: Changed the title to reduce flames.

2007 Cadillac BLS Sport
That's not the GMNA radio. It's the Saab one.

Hmmm.... Not to mention the big Grand Am GT windshield decal in the wrong font...

2008 Dodge Viper SRT10
Gas guzzler tax, anyone? The Z06 doesn't have one.

FIRST LOOK: DCX Minivans
Looks better than the Sienna. Like the interior lighting effect, but not the layout. But since I won't find myself in a minivan, I'll just let this pass.

Gun Shopping
I don't know too much about real guns, but I have a BB MK 23 myself. It's the same size as the real thing, and that thing is huge. It's crazy accurate from what I heard about the real counterpart, but it's only good if you have big hands. It's as big as a DEagle.

Saturn Astra to Launch in Late-07
ABS was standard on nearly all GM cars back in the early 90s, even my sister's 92 Cavalier had ABS standard. Somehow the public forced the decision on GM to change that.

GENEVA: Opel Corsa OPC
Exactly my thoughts. It has a lot in common with the WTCC Ultra.

Vauxhall Vectra VXR
Won't fit. At most the 2.0L DI Turbo. Astra is Delta.

Japan's finest tests Miata vs Solstice
I take the Solstice over the Sky, simply because Solstice is available in its "pure" form, i.e. base model. I don't think the Sky has a Club Sport package. If it did, I might take the Sky.

Dealbreakers
- Two door cars as my primary car. I don't like two doors that much, unless it's the Kappa twins. Hatches are OK (I LOVE the Astra), but those are considered 3-doors. - Toyota (and its divisions), Mercedes Benz, overrated, and mostly stereotyped cars of Hong Kong people in Canada. - Korean, generally unsafe. - Chevrolet, this is a temporary one, since all our previous cars are Chevys. I'll get sick of Pontiac some time. - Bright colors. Won't see me in a torch red or bright blue car, not to mention riced out colors. - Pewter exterior AND interior. Reminds me of my Cavalier and screams cheap. - Black, hard to keep clean. - Cars that are excessively powered, e.g. 200+ HP in a compact is useless, but 400+ HP in a full-size Cadillac is fine. - Excessive "sporty" tack-ons, e.g. body kits, ground effects. I like sleepers better. - Minivans and SUVs, you won't see me in either. Crossovers (read: Lambda) are borderline. - Excessive "futuristinc" styling (read: Civic). This is what I can think of so far...

Vauxhall Vectra VXR
Problem is Jeremy Clarkson hates Vauxhall Vectras.

2007 Chevrolet Epica
Suzuki's version was caught testing a while ago.

A Note About C&G Competition Prizes
Wow... we prepaid two years of Internal Server Errors? I think it's better to get the money back from the hosting company... ...then I expect my Solstice to be sitting outside my door in the next few weeks. (j/k)

Pontiac G8 Spied?
But if you look again, it says MY2009 and 2010. It would make sense for the Commodore and Statesman to get an MCE, or at least some refining on details.

Camaro too late?
We're paying like $4/gallon (rough equivalent) up here anyways...

Chevrolet HHR Premiere Edition to debut @ NAIAS
This one looks exactly like the Fall edition but with different paint. I really hope they bring an ultimate retro edition instead, complete with whitewalls, hood ornament and moon discs.

FIRST LOOK: 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
No matter how good the powertrain is, I still maintain my point: the rear end is hideous.

FIRST LOOK: 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
Disappointed with the rear. It looks like a Lucerne crossed with a Verona/Epica. Side profile of the front end looks horrendous, although it looks awfully familiar. Nonetheless still an improvement over the old one (what isn't, though?). The red one looks disgusting, but the gray one seems to look better, so I'll need to see more pics. I hope the Sport model will get better quad-rounds like the Cobalt coupe. The first paragraph on the Edmunds article caught my eye: I'm really interested to see their full list of rules, and give FOG a copy.
