Spy Shot: Chevy Volt caught from the beltline up
THe Honda Fit is probably the ugliest, most disproportioned car since the aztec. Worse, actually. UGH!

Spy Shot: Chevy Volt caught from the beltline up
I hope they bring out a Volt SSS, with a crate 572, carburated, no emissions crap, runs strictly on leaded racing fuel...

New Buick to be called LaCrosse, has been butchered.
Concept: "Oh my god, this is the best car EVAR, I will buy 500 of these, GM is saved, yippy!" Production version, slights changes, grany, shaky, fuzzy, bad POV pre-production picture: "great, GM really screwed up the concept, it is teh suckxs!!11!!" production version: "Well, it turned out OK, but I am really disappointed because it doesn't have blue.., oh wait it does, I mean yellow tooth and no NAVITRON and it doesn't go the moon in 4.5 sec, I won't buy one." reality: poster drives his mom's honda to go flip burgers.

The Future Of General Motors
I am completely loving the Cruze... awesome design. The headlights are a little akward, but at least it's not "clean cut". I can only imagine an SS coupe! Very nice stance for a small FWD car! Speaking of which, that's probably the worst thing about the Buick. I can't believe they made it look like an "old person" car after all! Maybe it's the POV of the picture thought. The bumper is pretty bland though. How hard can it be to mold an Invicta-type bumper? Also digging the caddy and the rest is OK.

Here's the new Buick
In other surprsing news, GM announced that the Invicta concept will indeed find it's way to North America as the new Lacrosse, after a few minor adjustments. Officials said it will not be built on the new Epsilon 2 platform, but instead on GMs "Powerhouse-Platform", the trusty W-Body. "It will save us Billions and Consumers will never notice. We stayed very true to the concept." Early Promo shots of the New Lacrosse (most likely to be renamed Regal to appeal to older Folks) appeared also on the web today as well as early information on the power train and colors, which include white, several shades of off-white and gray. Silver might be made available for the 2011 model year. The new Lacrosse will be powered by Buick's dependable 3800 V6, with GMs 3100 as an option.

09 ACURA RL
A little late in the game maybe, but I just saw those pics. If I were the Chrysler Sebring, I'd be pissed.

Eight-Brand Pileup Dents GM's Turnaround Efforts - WSJ
Here is the solution: Kill ALL Brands and sell "GM" cars. Or Oldsmobile. Or just "Car"s. I miss Olds.

2009 Chevrolet Traverse Preview
"Rebadging" done right. No, make that Platform sharing done right. The G5 is a rebadge. This is an all new vehicle built on a universal Platform and shares the basic outline of the vehicles. Great job.

ALTIMA COUPE vs ACCORD COUPE 08
If I need a "coupe", I would NOT buy a family FWD sedan with two doors missing, I would buy a Camaro, Challenger or even Mustang. If it's the "two door factor" I want, the VW Rabbit it is. I (and might just be me and me growing up around European cars) see VERY LITTLE sense in a car that has only 2 doors and is not a hatch or performance car.

GM pulls ahead of Toyota
Who cares? Seriously, let Toyota be No.1, let their recalls skyrocket, their reliability hit rock bottom and take the time to cut down the fleet sales at GM. Like somebody said, I don't see BMW worry about being No.1 in volume, all they care about it No.1 in how their cars drive. I would still never spend my hard earned money on a Toyota, no matter if EVERY LAST PERSON in my town had one or not. Matter of fact, I'd keep driving my 84 Olds just to piss them off.

More Zeta : Crewman Ute as GMC
Keep in mind Lutz said the Design will be very far out there on the concept. Initially, a lot of people will probably hate it.

Toyota @ NAIAS: A-BAT concept truck
Micah Pie replied to Robert Hall's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)Looks okay from the side, over at GMI there are pics from the front. OH MY GOD! A BAtD design indeed. Hate Toyotas recent bloating.

Challanger Price Updated and it is More
I should probably shut up because I have never even heard of such a thing as a gas guzzler tax, but I'll keep driving my 307 Rocket V8 (yeah, it's the "small" one). Screw gas prices and new car prices.

Could be snowy...
Seriously, if you REALLY want to do work with those poseur mobiles, you are an idiot anyway. Same thing: Why not take your Compass and take on the Rubicon? Toyota is bought by people who out"smart" themselves. And yes, I have to put it in quotations!

CONCEPT: Toyota FT-MV
Looks very european, in a Renault, Citroen sort of way. With a little Mercedes Sprinter thrown in.
-
LAIAS: 2008 Toyota Sequoia
Since we're already comparing it to the Durango..... yes. Both cars are visual pigs. The sad thing is that the Sequiwhatsitsname is not even a pig, it's a wannabe pig inflated goat. It will sell like crazy though...it's a Toyota after all.
-
LAIAS: 2009 Chevrolet Aveo5
I seriously like it. Looks exactly on track what a new chevy should look like with the new Grillle/face design going on. When it comes around and I still need a vehicle, I'd consider it. Bigtime.
-
LAIAS: 2009 Lincoln MKS
I think the front end is killer. All these new Lincoln front ends and concept front ends ROCK! A design like that... and Oldsmobile would still be right up there with chevy!
-
Toyota Tundra Diesel Dually Project Truck
Yeah, those HUGE wheels with tiny tires will really make hauling easy, construction sites accessible and spares real cheap. And I'm sure that short bed will hold everything your average weekend pool supply buyer puts in the crew cab anyway.

Toyota suspends sales of 2007 RAV4's in Australia
20s to 30s suburban white male living in cookie cutter house (one looks like the next), financing his everthing including his botox-silicone wife with credit cards, driving "4x4 offroad T.uR.D."s with 18" chrome runflats through heavy commuter traffic. Feels REALLY masculine in his big bulky vehicle. Puts all his cargo in the cre...family cab. Drives with giant air-beak (aka tailgate) for no other reason than to be a man's man. Puts preferably a "patriotic" sticker on his asian truck.

$8000 Rebate on Tundra
Except that the Ram doesn't look nearly as retarded.Seriously, I don't mind Toyota, I kinda like the Tacoma, but the Design on the Tundra is just seriously....

Chrysler SUVs appear destined to become roadkill
PLEASE!! Not too bad. The only thing that sucks is that it'll look like the new Liberty. I've never seen that version. MUCH better than the most recent one, still kinda.... meh. I don't mind the Compass. Not for me but I don't mind. Heck No! The Commander rules! That and apparently people buy and love them, I see them all the time. Better. Much better.
