The gauge cluster does remind a bit of the Civic... but the Rover 400 was a Civic to start with back then.
-
Nissan's fine, their JDM cars are nice. It's really just the North American ones are really bad. As I always say, I'm always glad to take the G35 badged as a Nissan Skyline, but I will never buy an Infiniti.

HongQi announces new photochopped Lincoln MKT crossover!
ToniCipriani replied to Blake Noble's topic in Other Makes
That's Hongqi's "signature" ornament. Was supposed to resemble a red flag (which is what Hongqi means). Their licensed Audi 90s all have that. But man... even I can do a better photochop than that. The grille doesn't even line up. -
This year's the last year for the Torrent AFAIU... I don't see why they would spend more money to change the engine.
-
I'm usually getting 23 MPG, and I'm pretty heavy on the gas. I also have the older 3.5 engine, only have 201hp. The transmission is less aggressive than the GT.
-
As I said in the other thread, I'm not feeling for the rear that much. Looks IS and Accord to me.
-
Official concept released... http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/19/beijing...llo-to-next-la/ Not liking the rear that much. See a bit of IS and Accord in it.
-
Crazy idea, but Acura shouldn't even be on Cadillac's target list. As Pontiac continues to move upmarket and focused, BPG should handle Acura with no problems.
-
The only change I see is the side vent.
-
I was just being sarcastic about the whines about nav and blueteeth going on around here. Of course the Excelle needs it. Buick's an upmarket brand there.
-
Hey, at least they have nav available...
-
So the HHR doesn't get the CVVT variant of the 2.2L Ecotec. I guess that's the difference between the LE8 and LAP.
-
The G6 always had it... just that you had to get the most expensive one. This time the change was the mass market 6T40 version.

Wow the radio's a button-o-rama! -
I have to wait till that cloak is off before I make further comments. Right now it looks like an ES in bags. I do like the interior though.
-
Yeah, I saw the wink right after I clicked submit. Now I feel stupid.
-
I highly doubt it. I'm just starting to see them around lately. They're probably waiting on GME for the info.
-
Not sure if it's entirely accurate, but V8 model to start at $36,995... vs $29,995 down south. For the price of a G8 down in US we can only get a Grand Prix here. Stop mistreating us damn it! http://ca.autos.yahoo.com/newcars/pontiac/...el_overview.php

And since when the Malibu is a truck?
-
I can't see how that would scale. Additional variations of parts means more cost. While on the retail numbers it might help, but costs would certainly go way up. Although I do agree that the G6 (or any car as a matter of fact) shouldn't be the rental whore.
-
Let's see... Get one, debadge the SS, replace the body kit with the base one, then put LS and wheel covers on it. Then see how many ricers taken down.
-
They're out now: http://www.iihs.org/ratings/ratingsbyseries.aspx?id=369 Still not as rock solid as the venerable 9-3 (still the safety pick for 2008), but very good results indeed.
-
I thought that was what the Chevy Classic was for...
-
That's pretty much what the SRX was... a CTS wagon with a crossover suspension. Now if they DO make an AWD version to replace the SRX and compete with the Allroad and XC70, that would be interesting.
