Quick Test: 2008 Saturn Astra XE
What's the point? How about a review of the soon to be gone Vibe or G6?

MEIMS: 2008 GMC Terrain
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

Up Close and Personal with the All-New 2008 Malibu
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

2008 VUE Green Line gets 25mpg city/32mpg hwy
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

Pontiac G6 GXP Street Package
Ugly as hell. It's a big step backwards for Pontiac and where they SHOULD be going. Mark

FIRST GLIMPSE: 2010 Buick LaCrosse Interior
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...

GM Design Center Conceptual Interior Elements
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

2008 Malibu full order guide posted
[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]

2008 Cadillac CTS - Autoweek
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

2008 Cadillac CTS - Motor Trend
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

2011 C7 'Vette could go mid-engine?
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

2008 CTS = Cadillac Technical Superiority
Until the CTS has something like iDrive, it will suck. Luxury cars NEED technology for technology's sake. Mark

Even More Vectra/Aura Spy Pics
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

Cadillac to Debut GM's Powerful New V6 Clean Diesel
How about a Duramax diesel in the Camaro? Diesel power sports cars will be all the rage! Give me a break. Mark

Sierra vs. Tundra brochure
I love these factual, in your face, brochures. Good stuff. Mark

FIRST LOOK: Chevrolet Avalanche/Tahoe/Suburban Z71s
Actually, they've been one sale for months now. I saw them back in October at the local dealer. Mark

Pontiac G8/Holden Commodore Confirmed
Great pictures, although from the front shot, it appears impossible to open the hood! mark

First Look: 2008 Pontiac G6 GXP
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

2008 Cadillac CTS: Image Gallery
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

Rollover Airbags in All GMs by 2012
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

New GM High Perf. Division website input
Nice web site. Too much sound though. Mark

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

Seattle International Auto Show
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

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

SEMA '06: 2007 Cadillac SRX Sport
What a mess. It takes a high price designer to screw up an interior I guess. Mark
