I am not a huge fan of the segment, but with fuel costs they need to be competing, so I am going to have to say Trax first I like the chunky quasi-rugged SUVishness of it. 2nd place Beat, the headlights a crazy long, but fit with the car. And I am going to have to agree that there is too much Scion Xb on the Groove.

Just when I start to think it can't get any worse than the current step down they go and put that fugly monster out there. Sorry Subaru it sucks.

Good to see that some of the alternative fuels vehicles are able to crank out good numbers. Overall not a bad design in a Batman-cartoon kinda way.

Eh, not a terrible looking car, but not what I would buy if I were shopping that segment. Not a fan of the headlights or the underbite. // c0ld_phuz10n

Eh, it has some of the face of the current Mark-X in its grill, a car that I hadn't seen before I came to Japan, I am not so sure if they sell it in Europe. Not my bag, but it for sure is not the worst they have ever done. // c0ld_phuz10n

I have to say, I see a lot of Cougar, and a goofy looking face. I like the profile, and the back seems well put together, the headlights are even ok. But it looks like they ran out of ideas on the front fascia...sad. // c0ld_phuz10n

Something about that upper lip on the front bumper that I am not do sure about, but other than that what a slick looking rig. The interior is nice, the profile has a nice stance, and I like the taillights too. Should sell well. // c0ld_phuz10n

Well at least it is not Toyota right? As far as Japanese auto makers go Nissan is my favorite, so I think that a partnership with them could be alright. Also before they started working with Renault Nissan was having its fair share of problems, so I could see that experience being useful for GM now. // c0ld_phuz10n p.s. I am in Tokyo on foreign exchange, and my host family drives an old Mini rover...how pimp

Eh, never have been too excited over the Solara...this is no exception. // c0ld_phuz10n

Eh, not too bad, need to see a direct side profile shot. I could definitely see how it would look better in person. I think the people that like the look of their truck to be a bit more laid back will like it. My dad is usually a Chevy guy, but he likes the new F-150 over the current Silverado because he doesn't like all of the sharp angles on the Chevy. I think it will do pretty good, would like to see what an SS would look like. // c0ld_phuz10n

Know theyself, and know the competition: so I went and browsed a few stang sites to see what they were saying about the Saleen cop car and the Camaro. The general consensus seems to be: the stang looks good, but they like the Camaro a lot too. and I quote: // c0ld_phuz10n

A bit more drooling material from Left Lane news: http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/05/31/new...sformers-movie/ // c0ld

Looks like the door handle is more in the place it was on the 4th gen than where it was on the concept. // c0ld

So, any word on what the Saleen connection is? // c0ld_phuz10n

Aye, it has been indeed. // c0ld
