Maybe the arm rest slides like on Jags? Again, I like the interior and would love to see it in black/tan, but the exterior is awful.

HAHAHA. I think the wood is better.

Around the Philadelphia area and other locations I have seen/heard of, the trend is placing those size homes on rediculously-sized lots. I mean, a 6,000-square foot $800,000 home has no business being on a .5 acre lot. It looks and seems rediculous. If I'm paying that much for a house there must be on some land.

Question... Do you guys know someone at a local dealer to hook you up without wasting the time of a salesman or do you just go? I'd love to test drive some cars but not if I have to waste someone's time.

I'll take yours, Olds. Again, once GM can actually compete in this market will any of your comments carry more than a grain of salt.

Very nice.

I'm still in V World, too.

I'm on SkyScraperPage, too. I use it to keep track of developments in Philadelphia. I do not see the end of the suburb. It may be cool to live in the city when you're young but once you add kids, schools, crime and quality of life into the mix, suburbs have cities beat no matter what anyone says. I would not trade my yard (complete with much needed TLC), private pool and relatively quiet streets for anything, especially when I have a family. Most of the people on SSP do not understand these points and are very critical of suburbs. While I do see many of their points in regards to transportation and sprawl, you cannot force people to live in certain areas. Get over it.

FX. Damn, I forgot the Rover. Thanks for reminding me.

Who's Stan?

I have a feeling you're right, Siegen. It looks pretty good but I doubt it will come to the U.S. with such a sporty look, which is disappointing.

I'll wait for the final photos. I think the recent Pilot upgrade made it look less wussy and a little bit better, except the base models which look uber cheap, Chinese even. I like the headlight setup, though.

Civc-based crossover meaning smaller than the CR-V? Infiniti X crossover is probably going to be more traditional than the FX and larger to fit a third row. Lexus JX470 crossover will probably be larger than the RX because of the 470 designation (V8 engine). Lexus needs to get a small crossover out. Mazda looks like it's onboard with the crossover craze. I'm guessing the CX-5 will take the place of the Tribute. Nissan looks like it has a lot on its plate. Hopefully past quality control issues will not show up again. I have no clue what the Scion xD is. Possibly a sedan or small crossover? Toyota FT-SX may be smaller than the recently enlarged RAV4.

TURBIE...nice to see you're still alive. I was getting worried there. I'll politely disagree with your comments on the exterior. I bet the front end is patched up with the MCE in 2-3 years. I haven't seen the interior so I cannot say anything about that.

Can we get a close up, Cremazie?

Raincoat? Are they the new things to wear during sex or am I missing something here? I thought it was supposed to be done naked.

Do they know there was even a concept version and, if they do, do they remember what it looked like? It's funny how peope bash Camry/Accord buyers for their "bland," "safe," "conservative" choice but suddenly cheer for the Aura that exhibits those same qualities. Yes, we all know the production Aura and concept Aura are not that different (), they're 90% the same (), so what's the problem with having it look a little bit sportier, somewhat different and bolder, especially considering the competition it is up against? Then again,

For some unknown reason, I'm dying to see Pontiac dealers sell this in the U.S.

Reg, LOL. That was good. On the other hand, the pictures I just saw are not.

The exterior is cool (as usual) but the interior...wow. I think it looks more Fisher Price than any GM vehicle has. I'm really looking forward to the other MINI versions.

I like the Asspen's rims and IP. Do the center console and center stack not align properly due to design? Flybrian...

I never saw these. Looks a hell of a lot better than the new Sebring.

I'm with Harley.

Who is doing these crash tests? I would be surprised if the Chinese are.
