New Saturn Ad Tagline
Just saw this while watching King of Queens... In the beginning, I saw a badge that said V-12 bio turbo wazup wit that? Maybe they're telling us something about a future Cadillac engine and they subliminally placed it in a Saturn commercial... I hardly believe saturn would get such a huge engine. But BioPower sounds pretty Green Line to me. IDK Didn't Saab have a bio-something or other concept? It might have been called biopower

Chrysler Sold to Cerebus
Will Daimler take their parts from Chrysler's platforms? (That would be dirrrty on the LX... Can they do that?) Where will Mitsubishi go for help? Will Cerebus keep friendly with them? Daimler is smart though... They hadn't strapped any MBs onto Chrysler's platforms, so they werent fully invested... Shrewd!

CR-V top-selling SUV in the U.S.
America just can't seem to do right these days... We can't even build a competitive SUV anymore? (BOF or otherwise)... That's it, I'm moving to Japan or Germany, but those Germans are slippin a bit too... Well the C-RV has one thing RAV4 or Explorer don't... CLEVER ADVERTISING! I love the C-RV commercial where it's on a chocolate covered cherry line and gets splattered with chocolate... or the one where it's a big bag of popcorn... They don't say anything about the car, but they sure are quirky... When was the last time you saw a standalone commercial for Explorer or RAV-4? Not recently for me. In fact, I didnt know the explorer got redesigned recently. Only the Gillettes and "trendy" new black and white tailights distinguish it from an older model. Same with Escape! Hmm...sad

SPY SHOTS! 2008 Honda Accord sedan
Which in turn looks like a smoothed out Sebring! Sebring looks like a 300... 300 looks like a bentley... bentleys look like Audis... Audis look like VW's (they are)... VW's look like Toyotas... Toyotas look like Lexuses (Lexi?) Lexuses look like BMW's/ Mercedes... I could go on FOREVER! The point is, in Detroit and Stuttgart and Nagoya and Seoul and wherever else cars are made, not much is original. Even esteemed brands like Porsche have looks based heavily on retro designs. So, sure the accord looks like a hyundai or whatever else, but where did the Sonata's looks come from? THE ACCORD what goes around comes around, I suppose...

SPY SHOTS! 2008 Honda Accord sedan
Good job! Who wants a Camry now... this is why I take Honda over Toyota-zilla anyday! In fact, I might prefer them over Chevy sometimes...yikes. They translated coupee to sedan well, but the 5er and Genisis is shining through that sheetmetal! Now, it isnt as exciting as the 'Bu, but lets not trash Honda! The front end styling kicks the deer-lookin Malibu's ass, and any other mid-sizer's for that matter.The rear end looks better too. It's not jaw dropping, but it's a definitee improvement... And 2 years ago,noone @ GM could hope for styling this good... so ya'll dont have to be calling this ugly!

551 Zeta Delayed
GM confuses me. Zeta seems to be only important to them for the Camaro, which will probably be outdated by the time an all new 'Stang comes out a year or two afterwards. LY 300 and Charger should be coming up soon and Ford's Interceptor is probably getting close, if they build it. Toyota will find out sooner or later about America's love for non-lux RWD full sizers and catch up... GM needed the first Zetas released by '09 to start getting ahead of the competition. They have failed to deliver... ONCE AGAIN.

Interesting Chevy design proposal on the wall
I have a lot to say about this. This is not a Kappa... you have to be drunk to see that. Is no Cobalt either... thats just stoopid. Now... I'm sure its either a 'Bu coupe or Impy. It's prolly not a 'Bu cuz it IS in the RWD studio. It could be a Camaro sized FWD 'Bu coupe that would boast more space than Camaro, which would be the specialized sports car kinda like Camaro and Beretta back in the 90's. It's prolly there to compare with the RWDs for styling. Also, i 4get who said it first, but I would love if Impala was a two car thing... I would like for there to be an Impala coupe and sedan... the Impy name does deserve a coupe. The Impala coupe could be more spacious and RWD.

Choppin' Competition #38 - April Fools!
OMG... That actually looks good, I mean... to be real it needs tweaks, but GMC makes their grilles look 2 good now, they need to put those lights on other vehicles...

Saturn mulling Diesel-propelled future
This was to be expected... Saturn looks to Europe for everything, it was a matter of time when the diesel would come out.

Chevrolet Prepared to Unveil Three Minicar Concepts Next Week in New York
thats very ugly... I'm a GM guy, but when I think about styling, I always pretend like it's from Ford or DCX... If this was from them, I would hate it, and from GM, I hate it.

V12 Coming..... Lutz says so....
GM shouldnt whore out Zeta so much.... All I hear is zeta zeta GMT900 zeta lambda zeta zeta kappa zeta zeta zeta ZETA! I thot Zeta was gonna be cool for America, with the Camaro, G8 and Impala. But now it's ppl callin for ULS, DTS, Lucerne and more Buicks, a big Opel and subsequently Saturn, GTO , Firebird... What happened to Zeta being this exotic RWD platform? GM should globalize, but oversaturation is not the key.

2008 Cadillac CTS: NAIAS pictures and video
Hey Hey Hey!!! Hold the presses... If anything should go, its the STS... that thing was ugly from the start... DTS (Deville 1949) Has been around longer than STS (Seville 1975). Deville deserves it because of its longevity. It should be: BTS (NG BLS) CTS DTS ETC (NG XLR... I added this just to show how its alphabetic) FTS (Resurrect Fleetwood as a 7L-fighter) I know that's out of nowhere for this topic... but what is Cadillac without a Deville?
