GM Trademarks 'Vapor' Link to Original Article @ Trademark.com On November 5, 2007, American auto company General Motors Corporation filed to protect the trademark Vapor in relation to “motor land vehicles, namely automobiles, sport utility vehicles, trucks and vans”. A quick search doesn’t connect the name “Vapor” with any specific GM brand or GM concept car. So, Mork will have to post an update when one of these names comes onto his tradar: Buick Vapor Cadillac Vapor Chevrolet Vapor GMC Vapor Hummer Vapor Pontiac Vapor Saturn Vapor

GM @ South Florida Auto Show 2008 Saturn ASTRA 2008 Saturn AURA 2008 Saturn VUE Green Line Those Astras are the same pre-pro ones I saw up in Detroit; however, they have their headlamps on, making this photo-worthy. The 2008 AURAs now carry engine badging since the XE can now be had with a 2.4l. Neither Miami nor Tampa featured at 2.4l AURA. This is also the first time I've seen the new VUE Green Line.

GM @ South Florida Auto Show SAAB 9-3 Convertible SAAB 9-3 Sport Sedan Check out the new SAAB fascias front and rear. The ‘ice block’ taillamps actually look rather nice in person (especially in softer colors like the blue convertible), but the real coup de grace is the incorporation of the CTS’ light pipes as DRLs in the front headlamps. The manner in which it flows with the upper grille lines makes it, dare I say, a more cohesive execution that in the Cadillac. It really looks awesome in person. This combined with the CTS and bejeweled headlamps of the Escalade Platinum makes a clear statement about how new headlamps technologies will be parlayed in the near future across all lines.

This is, IMO, the single best concept GM has done since the Sixteen – yes, that includes the Camaro. Its really amazing to behold this car in person. Very graceful, very flowing, and very representative of where SAAB is going in the short- and long-term.

Now all it needs are gas-charged hood lifters.

GM @ South Florida Auto Show 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt SS Turbo You may say ‘non-descript,’ but I prefer ‘low-key.’ Definitely a sleeper.

GM @ South Florida Auto Show 2008 Malibu Hybrid GM @ Tampa Intl. Auto Show 2008 Malibu Hybrid Your normal gray-on-gray interior we’ve all seen for the Miami Malibu. But the Tampa Malibu features a much more appealing Cocoa/Cashmere cloth combination. Good to see there will be variety.

GM @ South Florida Auto Show 2008 Malibu LTZ The Malibu is a wonderful looking car inside and out. More handsome than either the Accord or Camry and with a superior interior, too. You can count cutlines and worry about the material five inches under the seat all you'd like, but the look and functionality is far superior to the doofy Toyota and lousy Honda interfaces. Plus, nothing looks more ridiculous than the Accord's gearshift indicator. Like a playtoy. Malibu hybrids were at both shows, but the Tampa show had an interesting variation...

Its a virture.

Someone please forward this to a desperate Chinese or Eastern European car manufacturer desperate to get on the bandwagon.

Ignition Orange Metallic. Wouldn't that be something? I wish it was because that would be the top story instead! Nope, its an XLR.

Why would I want a car with a hand-stiched charicature of a man pleasuring himself while riding a mechanical bull?

Count me out of helping. I was thinking of my girlfriend's Blazer, but they have totally different wheels than the above - mid-90s Sonoma brushed aluminums with black center caps completely covering the lugs.

Would this also apply to mid-90s GMC Sonoma wheels with similar caps?
