I was gonna play the LEGO card for the interior but Ford does LEGO better on its trucks. This is more like knockoff Mega-blocks.

Personally, sans the lights, I think it's front end is segment-leading. Care to explain Camino? I saw one at a stoplight and took a long hard look, and as far as exteriors go, I think the Accord is good enough. Better than Camry, at least. The Accord has nothing to prove to anybody but Toyota. The rest are vying for #3.

Every town in Maryland is said just like it's spelled, cuz no other languages or accents really affect Marylanders. Only town near me that people could get wrong is Glen Burnie... I've never heard of another town called that. My friend from New Mexico called it Glen Brunei (Broo Ny) like the country and I died laughing at him.

I like it. they should just cut off say 6-8 inches in height and make a gorgeous sedan of that caliber.

The more I look at this, the more it looks like a Cobalt. How very exciting. (sarcasm) The 3-door is a good hot hatch, but for the five door, I'll take a Mazdaspeed3 please. The five door doesn't excite at all, and thats what picks up the sales in this segment.

When naming crossovers, I think that these automakers need a BIT more imagination. For example: Mazda cX7 Mazda cX9 BMW X3 BMW X5 Acura MDX Acura RDX Saab 9-4X Saab 9-7X Cadillac BRX Nissan X-Terra (started it?) Cadillac SRX Lincoln MKX Chevy equinoX (bit of a stretch) Volvo XC90 Volvo XC70 Volvo XC60 Suzuki XL7 Suzuki SX4 Infiniti QX Lexus RX Lexus LX Lexus GX Cheers to Audi for thier Q-line instead of the X-humping, and Mercedes for not even having an acronym for thier SUVs. Not to mention the domestics for all staying out of the "X" game aside from the lux-marques. Especially Chrysler, which has no faux X's. Anyone wanna play the numbers game? If you can name all the Audis, BMWs, Mazdas, and Volvos by numerical classification, you are a very depraved person indeed. Can anyone add to my list?

SPYSHOTS OF THE UPCOMING ROLLS ROYCE PHANTOM X CROSSOVER? I JUST PEED MY PANTS! DEF PUTTING SUM SPINNERS ON THAT!!!! woo. lol.

What about Cobalt, Impala, Escort, LaCrosse, Lancer, and Tribeca? What do a shade of blue, a deer, a prostitute, a weird sport, a surgical instrument of a part of manhattan have to do with anything?

But how many of those were produced? And don't say Aztek. That BARELY counts.

That interior is a joke. I understand the 'driver's car' stuff, but the Ferraris and Maseratis are MILES ahead of this thing. Quality is good, but its a joke. I want a gorgeous interior if I'm paying that much. Forget the performance.

It looks like the Audi Cross Coupe Quattro Concept... It's ugly as sin, but at least it's something different.

That interior is a joke, but sadly it outclasses the Vette. THATS SAD! But that is so gorgeous in so many ways.

Ugh. How ugly. Looks like a Rabbit and a Fiat 500 had an ugly love-child. They should just do the Next Beetle like this, with a rear engine. It would tie in with the heritage of the original and offer something the Mini doesn't have.

Anybody catch a cheap CRV-type vibe? maybe this could be the sportiest of the group, without roof rack, as pictured and such. That would differentiate it. But it is hard to make a two ton CUV sporty.

The large grille makes the wheels look small. If the wheels and taillamps were as comically large as the grille and headlights, and the wheels were of any quality, this would work. If Pontiac was going for big, butch, and ignorant looking, they should've went the whole nine yards. Actually, a nice bulge over the rear wheels would do this design some justice. Also, why no pics of the black one?

get one before the price gouging ensues!

Volt. It's like 10 steps ahead of the band-aid hybrids from Japan and the lackluster ones GM builds. It'll show those inbred media people that an American car can kick ass, take names and not kill the Earth. nuff said.

The most unused niche.... Small Cheap Efficient FLYING CARS! I'm telling you, that's what Isuzu is working on, and why they haven't had product for years.

I hate frogginess... Pouty grilles Droopy Headlights Slab Sides Extremely wide look on a average height car Six side windows Green Protruding fender flares Wheels pushed to the extreme outside. See Mini Cooper, Camry, Altima, or Taurus 500. Especially Altima... UGLY. no alibi.

Its so hard to predict. Crytal-balling isn't my forte. But BOF SUVs are out. Crossovers are in. More specifically RWD in CUV's will dwindle, too b/c of interior space concerns. But the market for Explorers and such will stay alive through the everlasting need for RWD BOF pickups. Good topic, dude.

OMG... that thing is PURE SEX It's nice, but Journey has a problem. I wish the grille was more Accord-ish.

Arguably, Cadillac started this new, more edgy styling on the Escalade, the true top dog at that division. For lack of a true S or 7 competitor, they put the edgier grille on the Escalade first. I think it's dumb and very 'Detroit' of them to start thier styling on a truck. Should we consider Escalade Cadillac's flagship? It certainly is the biggest and most expensive of the non V or XLR Cadillacs. And it's Cadillac's highest profile model and it's IT car of this century. It also signifies what Cadillac and GM for that matter can do right. I think that makes it the flagship.

i thought you were talking about ED from Big Brother! Dumb me!

I'm sorry, you named some ugly cars... Especially later in thier lives. Pontiac's styling has been on a downward spiral. And the Solstice is the best looking of Pontiacs. I was saying that to describe how ugly they are in general.
