Not me. I prefer the current model interior. You'd think they'd keep the Jet fighter cockpit feel now that they're focusing on Saab's jet-inspired past.

This was from the Season premier which was posted in this thread a few weeks back. HERE

I was hoping they'd do a little more to differentiate it from the current model but this will probably be enough to get a small sales boost before the vehicle is redesigned.

This is beyond absurd. Something needs to be done about that government. Why doesn't Bush just invade Mexico and get it over with.

What about the G6 convert? That's worthy of more attention then the Go5alt.

It's faster then the Zonda on their track! That's pretty impressive and Clarkson seemed to think so. Maybe he might add it to his collection of cars and park it right next to his Ford GT. Though, maybe I'm hoping for too much.

Way too early to tell but if I were to guess, I'd say that the diesel wouldn't be brought over... yet. Eventually, it may be imported if enough people wanted it. Right now, Diesel has a bad image in the US as being loud, smelly, and just lousy to own with the exception of a large pickup. GM would be smart to wait until it became more acceptable in the US before importing them in a car.

I understand that it's the same, but with the fake wood color scheme and that ugly ass black blob in the center, it makes the interior look cheap and different.

So.. very.. sad.

Wait till you drive it. Especially the GTP model. It's fast.

They think it has a "best in class" interior. Not bad!

Well, I think if you make the cars look unique to Saturn, it shouldn't matter if the logo is easy to see from a distance... though, I do see what you mean. And Ravenfreak, I don't have programs like photoshop. The only paint program is MSpaint and... well.. I don't have to clarify any further. I was looking for someone with an image editing program and with skills to do it.

The real problem is that the Pontiac dealers must be bullying GM to give them what they want and completely ignoring GM's longterm goal of separating the brands. Once Pontiac/GMC/Buick finally merge, this problem should be remedied.

Better yet.. have nothing behind the Saturn logo. Give it a clear background and maybe get rid of the border.

Take a look at the photos from the 60 minutes special. The prototype interior(which I'm assuming belongs to the next CTS) looks pretty integrated to me. Now, if it stays that way all the way to production then GM is definately on the right track.

He does bring up a good point about GM. While they do bring out better cars, they only benchmark previous sedans instead of competitors. Now, with Lutz, that's starting to change. The interior is going to be hot from the spy shots and it better drive well because I predict that the CTS will be the first serious entry into the European market.. I can guarantee it. The BLS doesn't really count since it's a stop-gap vehicle. the next generation cadillacs will be global sport/ luxury vehicles from what has been speculated and that's good news for all of us.

I love the Prius bashing when discussing possible names for the dog. It's about time someone in the media exposed it...even if that media is thousands of miles away.

So.. he's afraid of growing up and taking on responsibilities of an Adult. What's so special about that?

Though, didn't Lutz say that 99% of the Aura concept would show up on the production vehicle? Correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm a mutt. Half Irish, A quarter Italian, and a quarter Hungarian. I also have family in France but they're mostly Italian in descent.

I never said I was liberal. In fact.. I'm a registered republican and I want Al-Qaida off the face of this earth and Iraq turned into a democracy as much as the next person. I'm just not an ignorant bigot who clumps a few bastards with an entire region and call them terrorists. Maybe if you got out of your bubble and talk with people who have emmigrated from that region to our country, you'd think differently. I'll state it again... the UAE is very capatilist (extremely rare for an Arab country)and is one of our most valuable allies in the middle east because they don't want to blow us up. Instead, they want to buy our goods and have an economic partnership with us. Really. Watch the news once in a while.. You'll learn something valuable. I don't want to make this topic political so I'll just end my rant here.

It's a temporary fix. Don't get all bent out of shape about it. Once the next Astra comes around, it will be built both here in North America and in Europe. I'm glad they're doing it.

Wow, that statement was so uninformed and racist. You definately need to start watching the news and have a reality check.

Because the big-oil companies are keeping it from spreading. The E85 refineries are few and far between and they would like to keep it that way mostly because it would take a chunk out of their profits. Unless they start buying up corn-fields, the Oil companies are going to do everything in their power to stay ahead of the game.

Wow... This thread went downhill quickly.
