The VUE's debut seems a bit odd. It'll initially debut next month in concept form as the Opel Antara concept with Saturn badges, but is already running around seemingly ready for production as the production S3X with Saturn badges. Am I correct?

It's one blemish in an otherwise class-leading interior.

Saw my first '07 Escalade (black) and my second Solstice (Sly).

$750 million doesn't seem like a whole lot.

I'm not sure how well this relates to the topic at hand, but GM recently showed the Saturn Aura to a group of 5 people. Without the Saturn badges, all 5 approved of the design. When the Saturn badges were uncovered, only 2 approved.

Bottom line, the media didn't give the current Malibu it's low-rent interior. Compared with the Accord, it's simply not competitive. Which would get your money? Call me crazy, but it certainly wouldn't be the 'bu for me. '05 Malibu interior (on eBay) '04 Accord interior (on eBay)

People voted that he walked away from that? Yeah I wouldn't count on it.

Is it me or do those rims look small?

Winter in NY sucks for one more reason. Potholes. By early March, these things aren't mere holes in the road, and in many cases, they're unavoidable. Case in point: late tonight I was on my way home doing around 35 when a trench (no, really) caught my eye about 10 feet ahead. I would've gladly swerved around this monster, but it crossed all 4 lanes of the road. With nowhere to go and not nearly enough time to stop, I took a deep breath and hit it straight on. This thing rocked my car hard enough for me to feel it. Luckily, my front bumper was saved, but I'm sure my suspension felt it. Ouch. How a crater this deep could even be allowed to exist is beyond me. Between the cold, snow, ice, sand, salt, and potholes, winter really takes a beating on cars around here. I'm sure mine is wishing I lived in Florida right about now. I can't wait for spring. The first day the temperature breaks 50 I'll be outside washing, waxing, buffering, vacuuming, etc. I have all new OEM floor mats on the way, too. Spring can't come soon enough at this point.

Invicta sounds sexy. Electra sounds slutty.

I'm with Sixty8. The 5er is beautiful.

Sixty8, you're into techno? We may have more in common than I thought (aside from our RWD/inline-6 obsession).

So Avenger takes the place of Stratus?

I was expecting this to be about Isuzu before clicking on it.

"Page is to big?" Hmmm, what kind of teacher is this?

He got a D- for that? Jeez, what school does this kid go to?

I'm in LOVE with that interior. Something about it says Audi, only cooler. And who would've though teal guage lighting could look so hot?

I'm beginning to think Chevy should've just canned the MC rather than refreshing it (though I guess NASCAR prevented them from doing so). At least it would've put a limit on further damage to the MC name until a competitive model debuts.

I really hope this design language eventually permeates the entire Buick lineup. The Enclave represents everything that Buick should be in today's market, and if the concept translates into production well enough, Buick may finally be on it's way back.

It's not difficult to understand why Buick has a more favorable perceived-image in China. Things like xenon headlamps and navigation aren't available on most Buick cars here, yet their minivan has both.

I'll reserve final judgement until we see more of this. However, based on the above image, proportions seem a bit ungainly, and as Northstar stated, the greenhouse looks dated. The window-design looks to resemble the Azera, which is a step backward from the fresher-looking Sonata IMHO.

It looks stunning in that first picture.

10 seconds?

Eh, not really. I'm not sure either party would benefit from that at this point.

Something about it says "appliance" to me.
