I am going just to see what they DO have there. David

Agreed. The BelAir concept almost made me cry. On a side note. Was the Velite concept loosely based on the BelAir concept? I see quite a few simularities, aside from the fact that the Buick was done better. David

Looks pretty good, seems like they stuck pretty close to the concept B) . I wonder when Rieger Tuning is going to put out a body kit for the '05s. http://www.rieger-tuning.de/en/index.html David

Interesting read. I think things have been moving in a good direction recently and I hope the pieces continue to fall into place. I would like to see GM as the force they once were. David

I am glad the wagon is making a come back, and while I do think that it will replace the SUV for some people (mainly the people that want or need better gas mileage) I agree that they will probably pull more people away from minivans than any other group. As far as why trucks are not being "targeted" as well, IMO that is because both SUV's and wagons are primarily built to be people haulers. Sure they can haul stuff too, and SUV's can tow stuff as well, but they are built to haul people. Trucks are usually built to haul stuff (there are exceptions), stuff that often times would be difficult or completely impossible to fit into a SUV or to a greater extent wagon. My parents have an 1996 Suburban that is primarily used to haul the family on trips (it was that or a cargo van, there are 9 kids in my family). Every time I have needed to use it for something beyond that, like hauling an engine and/or transmission or even just wood, I have to take seats out and put them somewhere and then take special precautions because of the carpeting in the "cargo" area. It is really hard to hoist an engine on an engine stand in and out of the back of a '96 Suburban (I am not sure about other SUVs) and would have been impossible with a wagon. It would have been a lot easier with a truck. Atleast that is why SUVs and trucks are not clumped together in this case. David

That thing has "Jeep Enthusiast Only" (and possibly not even that) written all over it :puke: . David

Some interesting stuff. David

The nose kind of reminds me of a Saab, but it looks good. It is about time they updated it. David

I wish I could have gone :( . Any pics? avid

You took the words right out of my mouth. David

I like it better than the Mazda RX-8, though I do see plenty of resemblance, and agree that it looks pretty good. I wouldn't buy it, but I wouldn't hate seeing it on the road. David
