Intrepidation

That test compares cares of a different catagory, the Caliber I'm assuming near base form to match it's competeors...i haven't seen the article yet so i can't say for sure, just a guess. edmunds likes it, just think it's not as fun to drive with AWD, when the 2.4 FWD and a manual become available that should help the complaint there, and the SRT-4 will solve any horsepower issues anyone may have auto123.com liked it too.

The G6? Better than that? Interior? :rotflmao:

Phone calls for Acura Audi called, they want their tailights back SUzuki called, they want their Concept X back.

WOOT!! Awesome, I'm very happy it's going to be a Nissan, as it should be. It wouldn't make sense to cal it an Infiniti since everyone who knows anything about the GT-R knows it's a Nissan...plus it sounds way cooler as Nissan (Skyline?) GT-R So is it going to just be called GT-R or Skyline GT-R? I've always liked the Skyline name myself.

Check out the new quote under my sig

Aztek wins the ugly match. The Compass looks like it was beat with an ugly stick, while the Aztek looks like the whole damn tree fell on it.

Yeah I hate that sooooooo much...the back seatbelts of a Focus do it to though.

Really? I've always liked Nissan's 3-Spoke steering wheels. You want ugly 3-spoke? Here's what's in my car (tho this isn't an actual photo of mine). I agree with the tooth, thank god the dentists had their way with it.

Why? Just wait for the REAL Skyline

As it stands right now, I'd take the Altima. I'd still like a side profile pic and some more exterior pics, but so far it looks like a winner, and the interior looks great. It's not garnished in fake would and the center stack is nicely integrated. It doesn't have an odd styling cues like the ugly Camry either. And the metal trim looks real. It'll be a hit for Nissan that's for sure.

Old-fart Buick gets old-fart platform.

Oh man, I've seen tha thing before, I think it's Korean, I think it made Motor Trend's 10 ugliest cars list too! I just searched on google for "ugly car" first page is a picture of the Aztek, and the description doesn't actually say "ugly car" Even google knows it's not pretty, Ouch! Also, I like the current gen Tiburon a lot. looks very nice, still the best looking Hyundai IMO

I actually prefer it to the Buick, I like it a lot. AT the same time it's nice to see en Enclave and Outlook looking so different, you can't tell they're related. Thank you GM for Platform engineering and not Badge egineering them.

Meh, I think the LS looks alright, but at the same time I don't really care about it. It's not ugly or bold or sexy. It's just...there. Congrats Toyota on making another well built appliance. Wonder if it fits next to my toaster...

I like the pervious (06) interior better I think, but this probably has higher-grade materials, and looks much better than the G6. Not quite as daring, but it still looks good. I'm lovin' that exterior though, it's evolutionary, but in all the right ways. The Aura may have met it's match. Plus this has way cooler wheels than the Aura. Overal I give it an A, I'm so pleased that they got the rear end to look good, finally. Great car, if there was ever a Japanese maker to root for, it's Nissan

Well that's much more reassuring. The first pics made the car look ugly, but this new set compliments the car much better. The interior design is pretty good, I like the steering wheel and center stack a lot. The exterior looks nicer overall, especially the front end. It's an evolutionary design, but still looks distinctive. You can easily tell it's an Infiniti, one of the reasons why I like/respect them. That, and unlike Lexus and Acura, they're real performance cars. And personally, I think those wheels are sweet.

Compared to teh Avalon, 500, Azera, and Lucerne? I think it's awesome. NO wood for me though, I'll take teh aluminum (which, even if it isn't, looks real)

funny what a decent looking set of HVAC/Stereo controls and a nice steering wheel will do for an interior huh?

I totally Agree The wheels make a big difference in the cars appearance. Someoneon this site did a chop using the Vue's wheels, and even they make the car look much more appealing. Mr. Lutz, I strongly recommend you consider having 5 or 6 spoke wheel designs for the XR instead of the current wheel design. The Aura's interior is the very best of the Epsilons right now (although the Euro market BLS looks very nice too). The only thing that detracts from it is the HVAC/Stereo controls out of the GM parts bin. I really wish GM as a whole would start integrating there units like the Japanese makers do, because it makes the interior look so much morre complete. However it's probably too late to change the design of the Aura's interior, so if nothing else I think Piano Black should be an option for both the Sky and the Outlook (and every Cadillac). It gives a much better illusuion of integrated units, and looks far better.

New interior looks great in aluminum trim. Way better than the Lucerne, Avalon, etc.

wow the Taurus sales are double the Fusion's

Ugliest Car Award goes to this.
