CTS. LOVE IT. i'm thinking stealth gray or sunset blue. i can't wait til december!

the panoramic roof was probably a potential maintainence disaster. I'd rather see the ultraview sunroof from the new CTS on the Aura and G6.

Interesting that only the heavy duty, etc trucks have the 6spds. Only the 1500 Silverado's and Sierra's still have the 4spds. GM must still not being making large volumes of the 6spd rwd truck transmissions.

FINALLY. GM is getting smart and is just making XM standard, on everything!

thank god GTP is gone. much simplier. Base, GT, and GXP.

SRX new steering wheel, interesting. I wonder if it looks like the new CTS or STS? And I wonder what the new key fob design is going to be? the CTS info is up too, why wasn't it posted?

I see these cocoa/brown colors are popping up all over the GM model line-ups.

most excellllllent!

VUE looks great! although not a fan of the plastic bumpers, even if they're just on the XE models. It cheapens the vehicle and i think hurts resale. if the revised theta is this good for Saturn, I look foward to seeing the results on the Equinox and Torrent(to GMC).

excellent. the upgrades look really good. GM has some very recognizeable logos, so they just need to highlight them, and really make the dealerships stand out.

Shouldn't they be calling it the H3 SUT?

so did anybody read the article? or just speculate for fun? it's the TE platform obviously, with Trailblazer/9-7x body pieces. the undershot makes it look like it's a AWD vehicle.

finally some sort of picture for the 9-4x. "Spy photographers have captured the first pictures showing a test mule for the new Saab 9-4X. Designed from the ground up as a Saab — rather than a re-badging exercise — the 2009 9-4X is a collaboration between engineers in Rüsselsheim, Germany and designers in Trollhättan, Sweden." More at Leftlanenews.com I see some AWD/RWD components. Anyone agree/disagree?

nothing but good news! this excites me. I'm glad they are determined to keep the AWD and rugged image. The Hummer people are probably watching what Jeep is doing and laughing their heads off. I thought H3 Alpha was out Q4 2007?

China's a bigger buick market right now. I fully expect the product line-up to be almost the same in both the US and China. Like Saturn/Opel. I smell a lacrosse replacement. Riveria, Lucerne, Park Avenue, and Velite. That could work.

hooray!

wow, they are all so cool! Beat is my fav, tho i could see any of them in production.

Acura sales down slightly? there are terrible! the TSX and TL sell decent numbers. Both are down, and the RL and RDX sales are so not what Honda probably had in mind.

that would be perfect. slots right in between (tiny x-over) - equinox - _____ - tahoe - suburban. a saab version would be suitable as the 9-6x.

i'm betting the styling is significanltly different. heck we don't even know if it's going to be the same size as the others. also, GM wouldn't change an ENTIRE assembly site for one model. I wonder if a Saab version is in the works. The

boo, so the concept is going to be a compact? that's it?

excellent interior update. finally, leather colors and trim that belong in a hummer. and a third row seat, I don't know why they didn't think of that sooner?

ooo, i like the increase of technology. blind spot warning, excellent. interior update? no so much.

i think interior dimensions increased, if they updated the seats like in the CTS (slimmer seats), there is more legroom and overall, without additional wheelbase. my BIGGEST problem with this car, is the lack of display coordination. The instrument cluster looks like it's a white/blue, with red pointers, while the HVAC controls are still orange? WTF? every cadillac model has different colors. can we please standardize? saturn, chevy, pontiac, saab, etc can do it!

I still love the lucerne. I like the center console, but I'd like wood around it more. i'm liking the grille, but I wish there was more HP.
