GM Powertrain Unveils 3.6-Liter VVT Engine With DI
the CTS MUST have 300+ HP from this to out-do the IS350 (305hp) and 07 G35 (300+ hp); both with V6's. whether or not it's faster, that HP mindset is what makes a difference in the reviews and buyers mind. I'm sure there will be a lower HP introduced later to do battle with the 325i, IS250 and the low hp Audi A4's

Cadillac Renaissance: Miracle or Mirage?
this article while i think they were trying to raise a point is very poorly but together. when trying to read it it's very ADD. couldn't they have written in a more coherent format and addressed some of the issues specifically? esp. when they were trying to compare across many car brands.

"Pontiac, you're hired (again)."
this should be a poll, my money is on the G6 convertible.

Cadillac’s CLK Killer?
Look at infiniti, they've marketed the G35 as a coupe and sedan. instantly recognizable, they didn't have to waste extra $$$ on marketing a different name. " the all new 2008 Cadillac CTS, sedan or coupe, see your dealer today" And no one really wants it to be named CTC anways. simply CTS

Cadillac.com Updated
Cadillac updated their site with 2007 Escalade ESV & EXT info. I must say the ESV carries the design even better than the regular Escalade. http://www.cadillac.com/cadillacjsp/model/...l=esv&year=2007 http://www.cadillac.com/cadillacjsp/model/...l=ext&year=2007

Rebadged Opel Astra will come to U.S at end of '07

Enclave interior
I'm betting they have to keep some color on the SATURN symbol on the hood of the car, otherwise it's hard to notice. Interior wise, I think the red would be an eye-sore

Cadillac’s CLK Killer?
um, where did he go?

Cadillac’s CLK Killer?
one could argue the A5 and CTS coupe, ARE IN the same class. The 6-series, is above the 5 series, which doesn't place it in the same category as the 3-series coupe, Lexus IS coupe, and current A4 sedan are (all similar wheelbase) the G35coupe and CTScoupe would be the largest in that class, which if priced correctly could be their advantage.

G6 convertible trunk
The cargo "shade" is to protect your stuff from wetness when the roof goes away wet, or if it's raining and you have put it up. Also it also limits how high your stuff can go, before it will impede the roof. the slk/ sl have the same setup.

G6 convertible trunk
Also the G6's roof should do better over time. it a) utilizes a much simpler folding mechanism, b) uses fewer panels while this decreases the availible trunk space, it actually REDUCES wind noise b/'c there are only 2 "creases/joints" in the ceiling vs. 4 in the EOS/C70 I really don't trust VW to make such a tricky roof, and have it work for at least 5k miles.

June '06 C&D Impala SS Roadtest
Yeh what he said. And C/D hates the idea that a FWD *GASP* sporty Chevy is selling like mad. C/D and everyone else wanted it to bomb so they could say "told ya it needed to be RWD and a brand new platform like chrysler" the impala is an excellent platform, the avg person wouldn't be able to tell you how old the "design" of the platform dates, That just proves how good it is. Much to C/D dismay, Impala doesn't need to go RWD, there is a chance to alienate alot of drivers, just like killing the DTS is a BAD IDEA. Again, they rip the DTS, but GM has no problem unloading them like hotcakes!

....
let's not go crazy, this SUV is still a saturn. we expected watering down of the concept. what's important is interior, drivetrain, and the grille well at least to me

2007 Pontiac G5
Same here, i think i see equinoxs, but they're really torrents. they would really sell if GM had spent the extra money to really sportify the suspension and engines this will be the case in a year or two, but it should have been this way since the beginning.

2007 G6 Changes
If the GTP coupe has 252hp + 6-spd automatic, what kind of improvement in 0-60 time will we see?
-
2007 Buick LaCrosse changes
haha, that update should have occured a few days after they launched the lacrosse!

...
yeah i think they blurred the driver, b/c you can see the passenger seat, but not the driver seat very clearly.

No it's wood on the concept photos, so i think it's safe to assume it's a dif color wood in the same place on this prototype, and not plastic.
