Bimmer325

This excites me, if only for the prospect of Pontiac getting new product (the pipeline is pretty barren right now).

They also like bingo, Geritol, knitting, and Viagra. That's exactly the image Buick doesn't need.

I can look past the underbite. It's the rounded-off greenhouse that has me wondering what designers were thinking. Where does that tie in?

"Cameltoe"

3 ...that's it.

I had an '01 and absolutely loved the car (totalled in March). In many ways, I preferred it over my mom's 325i and my sister's 325Ci. The Bimmers are tighter and offer more precise handling, but the IS' 2JZ engine (yes, it's heavily related to the Supra's) is smoother and a hell of a lot faster than either of our 3ers ('03 and '06). My IS was also noticeably more stable at high speeds, and while it didn't match the 3er's precision, it handled itself smoother overall. I even prefer the IS' more-aggressive styling, and who can argue with reliability? My IS had 50,000 completely trouble-free miles (not a single issue), whereas my mom's '03 3er has gone through 3 sets of brakes, electrical issues, burnt-out taillamps and key fobs, a useless wiper-fluid dispenser, and countless other niggles. Nick, if you're sister's IS has metallic trim it's an '01 like mine. The all-black '02+'s actually have significantly higher-quality interior plastics than those with metallic trim.

That's a Mitsubishi Outlander.

Honestly, let's try and put a cap on drunk/high posting like this.

Meet Saab's '07 9-3 While the 9-3's exterior carries over largely unchanged, it's interior recieves a moderate facelift for the '07 model year. The initial interior image posted last month was met with almost universal disapproval here on C&G. Luckily, further examination of the below images reveals a much-less "GMified" interior than earlier photos suggested. The lower-dash no-longer resembles a Casio and that black-tie radio certainly isn't the one out of your Cobalt. Have a look for yourself (56k Warning). -------------------- Aero http://isaab.net/img/9-3/2007/001.jpg http://isaab.net/img/9-3/2007/002.jpg Vector http://isaab.net/img/9-3/2007/003.jpg Linear http://isaab.net/img/9-3/2007/004.jpg

I've always heard pineapple does the trick.

5.877 inches? I really doubt that.

C&G is surprisingly sober. Like, seriously.

I'd just let him continue to make a fool out of himself. Plus, I'm pretty sure bumper stickers lower the value of your car by like $6,000.

He's mad at you for being straight?

I don't see a "truly unique looking" midsizer, I see a truly bland and uninspired design that designers sprinkled with ill-fitting design aspects in an attempt to liven it up.

Sleeping pills.

Remember, this is a pre-production vehicle at the hands of generally careless individuals during testing. Things will more-than-likely line up once the design meets regular production. I hope.

As long as the NG entry-level BLS doesn't suffer from FWD-proportions, I don't mind the idea of rear-biased AWD.

Spied: BMW X5 Interior -------------------- The latest X5 spy shot to be added to the growing album offers insight into the SUV's interior. The latest, most-notably clear shot reveals a design that follows BMW's recent interior design trend from it's broad swath of aluminum to the highly-placed NAV and curving center-console. Perhaps the most polarizing aspect of the interior is the gear-selector that looks to be sourced from Norelco. We'll see if that piece makes production. Image courtesy KGP

As long as it's not as indistinctive and uninspired as the Yukon's droopy face, I'm all for it.

1. The Aztek looks better. 2. That interior could belong to any DCX model.

It's not even fancy. It's just a Chevy.

If I'm not mistaken this isn't the first time you've posted a topic that mentions suicide. I think that's partially what Croc was referring to in his post. Members tend to take things like this pretty seriously around here, so you may want to limit things like this unless it's in all seriousness.

I find it hilarious that the Silhouette was offered in Final 500 form. It didn't die, they were still available over at Chevy and Pontiac. :wink: The second-generation Aurora, on the other hand, remains one of the most competent, appealing, and high-quality GM vehicles (in my lifetime) to this day. If that's where Oldsmobile was headed, it's a damn shame they got the axe. It's unfortunate that it couldn't have soldiered on as a Buick. I'd take one over today's Buick Lucerne in a heartbeat.

I'll have a new article up early this week. Stay tuned!
