Fresh Arrival Sightings

[Cory Wolfe]

Car spotting for August!!!

Well, I'll start with seeing my very first Sky. Sexy.

[ocnblu]

2007 Relay 3. Not sexy. I saw it when I went to search for the (non-existant) Aura that was supposed to be at the local dealership.

[AAS]

Ton's of Chevy and GMC 900's

A brand-spankin-new silver STS-V

[DetroitNut90]

A Bayside Blue Nissan Skyline GT-R. No kidding-it was parked in front of a hotel in Ocean City. Awesome car.

Others: a Bentley Arnage, the Red Bull Mini Cooper (again), a Sky, and a few Solstices.

[Bimmer325]

Another Solstice in Sly.

[Guest Josh]

Drove. Race. Got my ass beat my an '07 Sky Red Line. It was a GM employee in it on the expressway. I did it to see how fast he was.

Also saw my first '07 Aveo on the dealer lots.

And, got up close and personal with the Solstice GXP and GMC Acadia. The Acadia is going to be WELL in the market.

[Northstar]

A red Solstice last night and a white Escalade EXT today.

[bobo]

Saw a new black Rolls Royce Phantom tonight. What a hulking, grotesque monstrosity that is.

[Intrepidation]

gold Jaguar XK convertible, a black Z06, 3 2007 Escalades, several new Tahoes, a few Yukons, a dark blue Suburban, and a black SRT-4 CHARGER!!!!!!

[capriceman]

saw an acadia cruising down gratiot.

[Guest YellowJacket894]

I've one Audi Q7, two Cayennes (non-Turbo, I believe), a Z4 Coupe, a new Passat, and one or two Chevy Tahoes.

[Intrepidation]

I see several Boxsters down here

[Cory Wolfe]

A Mazda RX8... I love those....

[Drew Dowdell]

I saw a maseratti something. It had French plates on it. Parked in a garage here in Pittsburgh. It was older, probably mid 90s.

[mute]

Yaris hatchback. There is no uglier car for sale today. Seriously. I'd be embarassed to be near one

[NOS2006]

And, got up close and personal with the Solstice GXP and GMC Acadia. The Acadia is going to be WELL in the market.

Very true.. it's a great looking vehicle, the Acadia.

Also on that day, I saw the GTO.R and a replica of Rhys Millen's Solstice GXP Drift Car. And a hell of a lot of old, new, and muscle cars!

[pow]

2007 Relay 3.  Not sexy.  I saw it when I went to search for the (non-existant) Aura that was supposed to be at the local dealership.

176588[/snapback]

Same thing happened to me. They said they'd call me when it arrives.

[Flybrian]

Hertz Mustang. Looks good.

[bowtie_dude]

An absolutely GORGEOUS brand new black Sky in downtown Lexington yesterday.

[ocnblu]

Pearl red, new style STS with factory spoiler... and a freakin' hood ornament that looks like it came off a '93 Sedan DeVille.

[DetroitNut90]

A Final 500 Intrigue. I've never realized how nice that Cherry Red paint was.

[Satty]

A red Sky, a Lamborghini Diablo stuck in traffic and a bunch of $h!ty condition 60's-70's cars. I had to take a cross-state road trip to get some baby stuff and there were Camaros, Mustangs, Impalas and more from the 60's and 70's that looked like absolute $h!.

[Northstar]

A new Maxima at the dealership

I'd rather have the '06.

[capriceman]

i saw some one hit a solstice today

[NOS2006]

    i saw some one hit a solstice today

179214[/snapback]

You hit on Josh or you crashed into his car?

[capriceman]

i dont know if you know where this is but it was at 13 and gratiot. this chick in her solstice was making a left in to that blockbuster and some one was coming down the Right turning lane and cliped the front of the Solstice.

[Intrepidation]

I didn't see it but my girlfriend saw a red Magnum SRT-8 yesterday...lucky

[NOS2006]

i dont know if you know where this is but it was at 13 and gratiot. this chick in her solstice was making a left in to that blockbuster and some one was coming down the Right turning lane  and cliped the front of the Solstice.

179297[/snapback]

Yeah, what a dumbass. I know where it is.

[Intrepidation]

Yeah, what a dumbass. I know where it is.

179301[/snapback]

I hate people who can't follow simple road rules...like no left turn yet they turn left anyone, or some guy in a minivan that goes down teh wrong side of the road to get into McDonalds a little faster.

[Flybrian]

'07 Aveo. Looks gooooood!

[ocnblu]

Agreed, except the one I saw today was silver, which kind of washed out the new, squarer lines. And the dashboard... is... nicer than the Cobalt's.

'07 G5 Base, optioned nicely, at the local dealer. I like how the base car has 5 lugs, something only the Cobalt SS has. Also, I like the shiny "carbon fiber" dash trim pieces better than Cobalt's gray painted stuff.

[Northstar]

Lots of stuff tonight:

First a black Z06, next a '71 GTO in orange, then an older guy revving at me in his Century, then an Escalade EXT on 22's in Riptide Blue (that one was at the dealer I worked for), then a Jag XJ, then another QS GTO (2005), a red Solstice, and finally a new Aveo in a nice red color and the dealer. I'm gonna take some pics tomorrow.

[Cory Wolfe]

Saw my first G5's... yikes.

[Flybrian]

A convoy of three SWB SV6s with Ontario plates. They looked sooooooo cute!

[Cory Wolfe]

2007 Equinox... The minimal exterior changes are nice and the interior looks good.

[NOS2006]

Let me count.. yesterday I saw:

1 F430

2 Ferrari 360s

5+ SRT-10 Coupes

5+ SRT-10 'Verts

5+ C6 Z06s

1 '06 Camaro Concept

10+ Saturn SKYs

5+ Pontiac Solstii

100s of classic muscle cars, hot rods, and rat rods

Many F-Bodies and Corvettes

1 custom 1999 LS6 Z28

2-3 XLRs

2+ STS-Vs

And many others.

[Cory Wolfe]

Oh, lol, and I saw a Mitsubishi Starion... Quite the rare site.

[NOS2006]

So is a Millenia in these parts. Don't even see those as beater cars in the winter!

[Ravenfreak13]

A new Bentley zipped down my block last night

[Cory Wolfe]

A Porsche 944... and a Dodge Viper SRT-10... next to each other... Wow. Vipers are fast.

[76ChevyTrucker]

I haven't seen much. Solstii, couple of Skys, one Z06, lots of GMT900s (more than I can easily count). Ran across an Alabama State Trooper Charger (didn't know we were getting them, but okay), that's about it.

[ocnblu]

'73 Centurion convertible in beautiful shape, light green metallic, green top.

Cobalt SS/SC, heading in the opposite direction, going uphill at full song... supercharger wailing its heart out... sounded so awesome.

[bobo]

A couple red Ferraris driving together on the freeway. Appeared to be a Testarossa and an F355. Other vehicles of note were a lime green Lotus Elise and a hot pink Chrysler New Yorker.

[Cory Wolfe]

New Aveo... thoughts on it in the Aveo thread. Otherwise... nada.

[DetroitNut90]

A yellow Viper RT/10 coupe (it sounded awesome!), an '05 Camry SE with V-TEC stickers on the trunk, and this old car I couldn't i.d.-it looked of 50's vintage, lots of chrome, red/white 2-tone, convertible, and a big angular grille. ??

[bobo]

A dark red XLR V with license plates "HOW NYCE"

[CaddyXLR-V]

I've seen 10 Solstice 1 Sky, saw an Aura today, an Aston Martin about a week ago, a black STS V, a black XLR V, 3 Ram SRT-10s, 3 07 Z06s(I can't believe how exotic they look when you see them coming towards you, I thought it was a Ferrari until it got closer). The Solstice looks exotic too. I asked my mom how much she thought it cost, she said it couldn't be less than $100,000. She was stunned when I said it was $20,000.

[ocnblu]

Suddenly, my local dealer is blessed with like 5 Auras. All base models, my favorite was a nicely-optioned brown one with a sunroof. The wood trim looks fine. The gray base interior looks cool with the metallicized trim. The car looks big with that high, razor-sharp beltline. A nice effort that should do well.

[ToniCipriani]

A few Opel Astra 5-doors, two Vectras, a few new S-Class, s#!tload of Jazzes (Honda Fit), some other wierd Hondas and a crapload of minivans and MPVs (Mazda5-style cars, not Mazda MPV). I'm surprised that the number of Toyotas have gone down from the past.

And in these few days I'm here, I've seen only 2 (read:two) new Honda Civics.
