Is this intended for the 2008 or 2009 MY? And when will it be release in North America?

QUOTE(stickmax @ Jul 10 2007, 03:33 PM) The profile would be substantially better if C-pillar didn't slop to the edge of the car but instead stopped short of it and the car had a short trunk instead. Maybe if it had flying buttresses. I'm imagining something more along the lines of the Chevy SS concept and less similar to the Opel Insignia concept.

The SRX has been the only Cadillac vehicle regarded as class leading by the media. It would be stupid for GM to throw that away.

FOG is on the right track. I would like to see both as well. Pontiac is supposed to get an Alpha G6 which could serve as the basis of the Firebird. The Zeta coupe could be the GTO only with a V8 standard unlike the Camaro. Eventually the G8 could move to Zeta and be produced domestically.

I'm hoping to see the 3-door, 5-door, wagon, and convertible models. Europe can keep the sedan which really isn't the same car anyhow. I plan on end up with either a 3-door Astra or Mazda3 sedan by the spring of '08.

#1 Buick Lucerne Cadillac CTS Saab 9-3 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Pontiac Grand Prix GMC Envoy Denali The only one I can see myself owning is the 9-3. I would have thought the G6 and Aura would have made my list.

I'd like to second the request for a side-by-side comparision with the Outlook. Have production images of the Enclave been released yet? Overall, I think the Acadia looks to much like the Outlook and feel the third Lambda should have been given to SAAB instead of GMC. One Lambda is engough for PGB dealers.

Could someone please explain to me what is the difference between DSG and other 'manualmatic' systems?

I don't think a larger SAAB line would automatically be a failure. Look at what Ford has done with Volvo. cavalier36's idea are very similar to my own exept for using Kappa and RWD Sigma based vehicles. Certainly: 9-1 sedan, convertible, 3-door hatch, 5-door hatch and wagon on next generation Delta 9-3 sedan, hatchback sedan, convertible, and wagon on short-wheelbase Epsilion 9-4 SUV on long-wheelbase Theta 9-5 sedan and wagon on long-wheelbase Epsilion 9-6 SUV on Lambda Possibly: 9-2 SUV on compact or short-wheelbase Theta 9-7 sedan on Chi or AWD only Zeta or Sigma Sonnett roadster, coupe, and shooting brake on Gamma or Delta

Call me a traditionalist, but I would have rather seen Bumblebee remain a Beetle. There are several Autobot who could have been reimagined as a Camaro. Even then, I would have prefer a third gen over a second gen given the Transformer's 80's heritage. On the other hand, I don't think Hasbro requested permission from VW for the orginal Bumblebee are not in favor of having thier vehicles depicted in a militaristic manner. Something about Germany trying to take over the world a couple decades back.

It might be hard to believe but apparently someone has traded in a Solstice at the Chrysler dealership across from where I work. Has anyone else seen any preowned Solstices already?

How many Thetas are there any how? Sub-Theta Theta-Epsilion Theta-short wheelbase (VUE) Theta-long wheelbase (Equinox) Any others?

I agree that Pontiac, SAAB, and Cadillac though I would substitute Saturn for Buick. Pontiac and Cadillac's both need to be RWD however.

I like the current version better which is not to say this revision looks bad. Just that too many other cars have the scalloped headlight and clear backlight look. What's with the thing on the roof? T-top? Maxima mohawk style sunroof?
