Yeah-ah buddy, what a sexy machine.

How many people actually buy NAV systems in lower-rung cars? Seriously. I would like to see how many Mazda3s have it. Even Accords as most I've seen are sunday special 4-bangers with cloth seats and pwoer windows.

No prob. They've been edited. Thanks for the pics, too!

Have to agree there, Bathy. Exotics do nothing for me but scream 'waste of money.' If one must spend $200-400k on a car, why not a cushy Bentley, Rolls, or Maybach? At least you can sit in traffic comfortably. Exotics are only fun if you can open them up. If you simply want eyes staring at you, better off to buy one of those crapbox Fiero Ferrari kitcars.

Unions have little to do with this compared to deregulation, incompetant CEOs, a general degredation and overall cheapening of air service, and the unrealistic public expectation for cut-rate $49 one-way fares.

I like how... 1) Every domestic was laughed at for having digital gauges. 2) Honda's digital gauges are 'cool' because they "Look like a Heads-up Display" (Ann Job). 3) GM was lambasted for their real HUD units because they were "gimmicky" and "irritating" (Edmunds).

Boo ya

This is why I'm proud to have a General Motors car in the driveway. Always have been, always will.

There's a distinct difference between the two, namely the expectation of being able to freely walk into a totally public space as opposed to not being able to visit a museum that's operated on a quasi-appointment basis.

Doesn't it end up busting up the rear glass? Also, as far as the length difference, is there truth to the rumor of a 3rd row?

What an godawful bumblebee.

Yeah, it looks ready to acquire some SS-20s launched from Kamchakta or something. Even if the HVAC controls don't 'fit' the car, they're much better ergonomically than the typical ass-backwards European scattershot of buttons.

The Murano isn't even that attractive. Why is everyone taking that crappy rear window design?

Looks like a piss-poor kit car. I think Romania, former Czechoslovakia, Poland, et al have been making Soviet tanks too long...

Good taste, my man, good taste! :D

That's part of the air dam/baffle I believe. A side effect is that you hit the big piece of unseen black plastic before you hit painted plastic of the front fascia if you drive over a curb.

Yes, the prices are far more reasonable. In all honesty, the 9-5 was never a $40,000, which is what last year's Aero model based at. That's nuckin' futs.

Uh, it borrowed styling cues from the 'New Generation' Oldsmobiles, including the Ninety-Eight...

Ditch the loser Altezzas and its a winner.

The post count is deactivated in the Lounge.

You know, you can get the Sport package with it.

So, this must be supplanting the Highlander in some fashion. It doesn't make sense otherwise to 'grow' it. Am I the only one who thinks its unwise to offer only two engines with such a disparity in power? Either a buzzy 166hp or a 268hp mill?

They only come out at night...or in this case, during the day. And a t-shirt for you all! j/k :P

The more I think of it, the more it looks like it should be a Subaru.

Looks pretty bad with the Murano-lookin' side profile. It was totally cute before, now its trying to mature but failing.
