Intrepidation

Interesting, according to Motor Trend, the Aura is built off teh Epsilon II platform, I didn't realize it was on the new version.

yes...but I don't like the style of it much...I actually like the Zephyr wheel better

Looking at it, I guess the STack isn't so bad. After all, even Audi doesn't integrate the stereo/climate controls the way Toyota or NIssan do. ALthough the quality of the materials is great onthose things too. Also, automotive reviews rarely single out the fact that the controls are or aren't integrated, they complain or comment on how nice the design of the unit is, and more so how ergonomic they are and the quality of those controls. Edmunds for example has no complaints about GM's most recent corporate stero unit. However what does irritate the hell out of me is how the center stack doesn't look symmetrical as it flows into the console.

It's not great quality and it's not at the right angle. Here's why I chose the one I did. http://www.carbodydesign.com/archive/2005/...heel%203-lg.jpg It's a big, hi-res file, at just the right angle and easily cropped. I may change the logo out though.

Yay I won! And on my first sketch competion too!

Doubt it.

ANyone else notice how the new RDX has a similar character line?

Looks a lot like a smaller version of the Rescue COncept (Which I liked a lot) Speaking of which...they should have built that instead of the Commander.

Aw man, I really wanna see what the new Sebring will look like. I wonder why they don't debut it at a major auto show? Wouldn't that be better for publicity?

Eclipse. Monte Carlo, Salora. See? Still not dead last. I Like the Eclipse, I clinda like the front end of the Salora up until teh end of the door. After that, it goes straight to hell. The Monte Carlo looks a little better with decent looking nose, but the rest is still meh. Hah! See? I'm not the only one. If you ever see one in black, like I have, they look awesome.

Think so, using Toyota's system

No...freakin...way.... four wheels and an engine?! Holy Crap! He is a genius!

I think a lotta cars are better than the Monte Carlo...like the GTO or Charger. it doesn't take much (Sorry, I'm guessing you own own by your sig, but I just don't like them)

hah, yeah I know, the only thing is that was the only good wheel pic i could find, and it happens to be the Zephyr's Thanks by the way

I'm glad you're mom is alright Vipe, she was very lucky, especially without a belt on. You know I must say I have more respect for older cars as of late. The other day my friend's Cavalier got rear-ended by a Mercury Villager. That van's front end got totaled and had fluid leaking out of it. His car has a slightly loose, but not bent bumper and the tailpipe is a little squished, but from a distance you can't tell it got hit. And a month or so ago my SHadow got T-Boned by a big Ol' Oldsmobile. I was able to drive away, he wasn't...all I need to do is replace teh fender, or maybe I can even get the dent out after getting it off. Is that hard to reshape it? But anyway, too bad about the Blazer, you could fix it though! Hope your replacement is nice (maybe an Outlook?)

It's not just him, I like it better than teh current version, and I can easily tell it's an Infiniti, I'd never mistake it for a Lexus

Yes, but slighty less so now.

They say it has as much interior volume as the new Altima...too bad it doesn't look 1/4th as good as the Altima

Agreed, each time they do a refresh/redesign they address complaints the previous model had. Like the interiors, and the Altima's big but, which looks much better now

Funny. Nicer interior, differenciated look, and way better engine than the Equinox or the Torrent. I like how Suzuki tried something daring, it resmbles the concept a bit. Funny thing is that it's not bad either...different, but not bad. Why the f**k doesn't the Torrent at least get the 3.6? Man that thing even gets a 5-speed auto. Why even bother with the platform mates?

Pretty good lookng, far better than any of Suzuki's other small cars.

just checked edmunds... it does have a push button start!
