the open hood shot is great. hadn't noticed the painted underside before!

Hey guys GM shot 12 new shots of the camaro. They're up on jalopnik. Dave http://www.jalopnik.com/ And they're F'in HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I told you so!!!!!!!!!!Also I don't see the Sebring really. I think the wheels look like the Mercury Milan.

i'm really underwhelmed by this. It's like a slight upgrade over the G6 but not as attractive on the outside. The rear looks like the old Chrysler 300M. The interior shots show the plastic has taken over and the gauge cluster looks like poop. notice how the wood on the doors doesn't line up with the wood on the dash.

most important part In addition, Outlook’s second- and third-row seats fold flat for even more cargo-carrying capacity. Tahoe doesn't do that.

I take it everyone saw this already?! http://www.mph-online.com/web/prtranslated/00628 we've been invited to an offsite event for the saturn vehicles in NY and will get a report out on it I'm sure during the show. And no I haven't seen any shots of the GM stuff yet. just DCX.

and youguys missed our tidbits the past few weeks in rumors regarding this. http://www.mph-online.com/mag/rumors/007

our take http://www.mph-online.com/mag/spins/0049 more favorable. although we like anything with power.

remember that the magazines have tog o to rpess months ahead of street date and have earliest info provided by the manufacturer. Perhaps it hadn't been changed by then. AND I guarantee you it has nothing to do with the past use of the tech it has to do with Chrysler using the term DoD for their products and GM wanting to sound even more advanced/different. It is part of the industry these days unfortunatley. it is lame as well. Do they have different terms for Manual Transmission? also Mike Austin just ran a follow-up int he blog about the real world MPG http://web.mph-online.com/blogs/124

first of all it is not really an inaccuracy. Meaning that it does offer the same technology as what is commonly referred to as Displacement on demand. In fact I think most car fans I talk with hate the fact that automakers have to come up with their own terminology for widely used tech. Like the manumatic, tiptronic etc.

http://www.mph-online.com/mag/spins/0050 Very positive even if done in a comical way. Everyone on the staff was impressed.

it's still covered but clearly shows similarities to the Enclave. Very interesting.

It looks just like the 15/16 yes. But is that much different than the S3X?

no there weren't.

no I decided not to use them as they are essentially the S3X with disguise and saturn emblem (and quite costly to purchase). Also I like your guys feedback sometime to see if there is rabid interest in it and then sometimes I'll pull the trigger. Let's just say that wasn't the case here. But I figure I might use the information for a future "rumor" post. DT

I've had a ton of those nights! Not with MPH of course. But awesome comment.

Your right it is the basic outline of the S3X. Hadn't thought of that. but you can clearly see a hidden saturn emblem. Quite a bit smaller than the current Vue.

I'm not a fan of any of the American DCX interiors. The Magnum I didn't mind as much because it was a wagon and would probably get messy anyway. same with the GC but we have the last gen GC a 2004, and besides monumental mechanical problems, my wife and I both preferred the old one as far as drive. The interior is ok but chunky, hollow and besides the wheel did nothing for me. but there really isn't a great interior quality SUV out there anyway. Although I'm psyched to trade in our GC when the Mazda CX-7 finally gets here.

my bad. typo that should be 33 not 23 on the hips. otherwise she'd be really disfigured.

that would make sense. Show it maybe at the LA show in Nov. and roll it out spring/summer 2007.

yeah what the f-ck happened with that? I mean it's not like we're friggin' Dan Rather saying the President lied with no "real" proof. Sheesh. We had a reliable source, they misinformed us and we ran it. Later it was corrected. Ours in less than 24 hours. Anyway by the looks of this new Vue on the road I'd think it would be a 2007 model. It looks that ready. As ready as the Enclaves we've been seeing if not more so.

Hey guys. I just got some spy shots of the next gen Vue and it looks darn ready to roll, heavily disguised you can still tell there's a Saturn emblem and interior looks good. It's gonna be hot for them. Any idea when this will debut at a show? Any insiders know?

first off: chazman awesome avatar. second: The srt8 is so badass looking. especially in black but even in silver here, wow. That said I love the CTS-V. That thing's awesome. It is the ultimate sleeper although I'd love a grill delete option. But the DCX interiors overall need some help.

guys we ran this news last week! http://www.mph-online.com/web/news/00348
