I haven't been here in a while. So here's a refresh:

The Equinox is best-in-class, hands down. I'm loving the interior.

Wow. It could possibly be the best Ford I've seen in decades.

One of the worst automotive ideas ever. Horribly styled. Stupid idea.

I really like this car...I think it should do well. The rear is lovely.

Reminds me of the Subie Tribeca.

The picture of the Ion interior made me laugh and cover my eyes at the same time.

I can't believe it...the G8 actually looks better in those photos, too.

Meanwhile, we have people climbing on the tops of commercial jets and chaining themselves to the roof of the British Parliament over this BS called global warming. It's communism for the 21st century...just another way to control people.

The interior looks good. I like the fact that the Malibu design was used as an inspiration. The front looks good, too, almost looks Pontiac-ish. However, the rear is horrible, a bastardization of the Enclave. Overall, it's too much of a mish-mash of different Lambdas.

Not bad but I'd rather have a true Hummer truck...cough H4 cough.

Besides the powertrain, it does nothing for me. The styling is bland, it's just the same as the G8 but with 2 doors and a small bed. I'd rather the money be spent on a true mid-size RWD car for Pontiac. And I wouldn't be comparing it to the Ridgeline. At least that has some utility to it.

I thought I could see a Chevy grille, too. Hopefully, this is NOT a Caddy.

What? First, it's a Toyota Venza. Second, both mid-level (this vehicle) and luxury (Lexus RX) crossovers are products many customers have asked for and have received. The RX is the best selling vehicle in the Lexus lineup. Third, I don't think many cars offer anything new nowadays. The only Edge similarity I see is the rear window. Otherwise, the Venza looks sportier and more luxurious, IMO.

I'm not a fan of the grille but, overall, the styling is nice and upscale, not boring and somewhat stylish. I really like the rear. The interior looks nice but the center console is a bit weird...takes some getting used to, I guess.

Interior looks amazing, I love that brick color. However, the exterior is bland, especially the front end. The grille reminds me of the Amanti...Hyundai doesn't know how to design a grille for a luxury car.

Not really digging the rear or the overall shape. It just looks kind of weird to me.

I like it, especially the rear.

Look what happens when you build a great car.

Everything but the front looks nice. The bulged hood and front facia disrupt the normal CTS' good looking creases and lines. The front looks squished...like one of those nasty looking squished-faced cats.

Article with photos: http://www.houstoncars.org/2009-toyota-rav4-first-look.php I hope Toyota improves the interior, too. I think the new styling looks much classier than the CR-V.

Interior looks pretty nice.

The new Vibe does look better than the new Matrix. However, I think both cars will continue to be good sellers and, from personal experience, rightly so.

Glad to hear it.

I haven't seen any on the road but the ads on TV I've seen look pretty good (besides the fact the Malibu shown is CGI) and are fairly convincing. Good advertising from GM...are pigs flying?
