The Changing Aura Concept

Uh-oh - GM release today mentions what they're showing at Chicago, and the AURA is not on there - any thoughts? FOR RELEASE: 2006-01-31 GM Will Unveil All New 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche, Make Major Alternative Fuel and OnStar Announcement at Chicago Auto Show 2007 Chevy Avalanche LTZ DETROIT - General Motors will introduce the all-new 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche, the latest rollout of its next-generation full-size truck family and the industry's most flexible utility vehicle, at the Chicago Auto Show. GM also will make two major announcements: One will build on the "Live Green Go Yellow" campaign GM launched Jan. 25 in Washington, D.C.; the second involves a technology enhancement at OnStar. OnStar will celebrate its 10th anniversary at the show. "GM continues to demonstrate bold and innovative leadership in products and technology," said Brent Dewar, GM vice president, marketing and advertising. "On these fronts and more, GM is truly on a roll." The Chevy Avalanche was the first to combine the passenger-comfort attributes of an SUV with the cargo capability of a truck. The 2007 model is based on GM's brand-new, full-size SUV platform, which features more power with improved, segment-leading fuel economy and flex-fuel capability on some models; a sharper, more precise driving feel; increased interior refinement and improved quietness; and world-class safety. It will go on sale in the second quarter of 2006. "Avalanche created the segment and it continues to dominate it. In 2007, the original gets even better," said Dewar. GM's Chicago Auto Show exhibit also will feature many of the products introduced last month at the Greater Los Angeles Auto Show and North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

The only that I have is the Honda-like grill bar.

Yeah, I love how Honda quickly RIPPED that one off from Saturn/Opel and now everyone is going to say... "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and the Saturn does it right up to it's HOnda-esque grille"

most flexible utility vehicle

You mean it's not the confident "Ultimate Utility Vehicle" anymore?

No trucks??? Just a Suburban chop and "2 announcments" to justify the suggested "on a roll"?

Well, the article is only mentioning two things and we know there is a lot more in store for NY and Chicago. Don't worry.. GM will show it soon enough. The car is going to go in production over the summer so they have to show it now to get people interested.
