  1. What's the point? How about a review of the soon to be gone Vibe or G6?

    Is GMC big in the middle east today? Why isn't a Chevy (one of GM's international brands) version of this model good enough? Mark
  3. Those interior colors are nauseating. It's nice GM's offering different choices, but that one does not look good to me. I still like the Aura much better. Mark
  4. Blind? Rose colored glasses? From my perspective and the people I know. The CRV is effeminate and has a cleft lipped front end. How anyone find it attractive is beyond me. Mark
  5. Ugly as hell. It's a big step backwards for Pontiac and where they SHOULD be going. Mark
  6. All I can say is wow. I mean WOW like WHY ON EARTH is GM showing this to the public 3 years before it comes out?!?! To gauge public reaction? The generate hype? Why? In 3 years, when/if this interior hits the market, the competition will have had plenty of time to copy and better this effort. What a shame. It's ANOTHER frustrating example of GM hyping future products when they don't have enough stuff to hype that's in the showrooms today. They've been doing this for decades. Tomorrow... Tomorrow... Mark
  7. These looks great. However, why on earth is GM showing these to the world? Why not show them to the world 3 months ahead of when a car that uses them is ready for sale? GM: An expert at prematurely announcing everything. Mark

    [Cynic Mode On] So I guess this means only 40% of all Malibu sales will be with the 3.5L engine. Mark [Cynic Mode Off]

    Yeah. The metal in the center cluster looks like plastic metal. Analog clocks are hard to understand. 0.4 sec makes all the difference. Pushrods are all bad, regardless of how good the motor. You make one valid point about the interior space. Everything else is BS. Mark

    I'm getting tired about how supposedly important the Nurburgring is for making great cars. It's gets way too much press for a road course. Mark
  11. Two distinct Corvette models will not happen for a long time. Does anyone think it makes any sense for GM to pour money and engineering into a niche vehicle when they cannot afford the money and engineering to make a minivan? If you think so, you would drive GM further into the ground. The Ford GT did not help Ford turn around. Mark
  12. Until the CTS has something like iDrive, it will suck. Luxury cars NEED technology for technology's sake. Mark

    I hope that is fake trunk. I've yet to see a Bangle butt that looks good. The Altima's toned down one is the best one so far, but still not attractive. Mark
  14. How about a Duramax diesel in the Camaro? Diesel power sports cars will be all the rage! Give me a break. Mark

    I love these factual, in your face, brochures. Good stuff. Mark
  16. Actually, they've been one sale for months now. I saw them back in October at the local dealer. Mark
  17. Great pictures, although from the front shot, it appears impossible to open the hood! mark
  18. There's a reason Pontiac feels they need to do this: Saturn. Saturn is the now upscale version of a Chevy that Pontiac used to be. Since GM is 100% behind Saturn right now, Pontiac has to go to these outrageous extremes to look more sporty than a Chevrolet or Saturn. The did this when Oldsmobile moved into their market area with the Alero and Intrigue. The last generation Grand Am and Grand Prix results from this competition as Pontiac added spoilers and hood stops to look different. The same thing is happening again with Saturn. Saturn is the sophisticated Opel clone and Pontiac has to do something, ANYTHING, to stand out and matter to GM. The understand looks of the GTO and original G6 did not work well for Pontiac, so this is the result. Mark

    I find all the complaining about the GM photographs vs amateur ones odd. What pictures are you look at? You don't like consistently lighted photographs and instead like seeing shadows, glares, odd angles? Mark
  20. Way to go GM. Tell everyone in the year what you will be doing in the next six years. This gives the competition plenty of time to deploy the same technology 2-3 years before GM. GM again will look like a laggard here. Mark
  21. Nice web site. Too much sound though. Mark

    Big time viral ad. It's not well done if they are trying to convince people this is "real". Mark

    Old people don't go to car shows. Buick is dying with its customers. I don't see how anything on the horizon will save it. Mark

    Nice pictures. Thanks for sharing. That 1967 Camaro SS looks great. Why was the rear tire off of it? Mark

    What a mess. It takes a high price designer to screw up an interior I guess. Mark
