Since power windows and air conditioning are optional anyway, why not charge $500 for a "nice interior" option?
-
Good... the current I5 is neither powerful nor efficient. Hell, a heavier X5 V8 with 105 more horsepower does 3 MPG better on the highway.
-
Forget everything I've said... this should be an amazing car. It has the same high-revving V-10 as the Lamborghini Gallardo!
-
An oldie, but still a goodie...
-
Roll-over protection, side airbags, Stabilitrak, and height-adjustable driver seat.

Nice... the photography is fantastic. I wish they'd get rid of the cheesy, inconsistent title thingys on the top of the browser, though: "Luxury Car - Luxury Vehicles from Saab USA" "Saab 9-2x - Best Sport Compact Car" "Saab 9-3 Convertible Car" "Saab 9-5 is our Best Luxury Sedan" "Saab 9-7x Best Luxury SUV" Reminds me of the generic Google ads... "[Whatever you typed in] Bargain Prices. You want it, we got it!"

Surprisingly, even the Kia Amanti has auto up/down with pinch-protection for all four windows.
-
(The LaCrosse is hardly an Avalon competitor. Maybe the Lucerne V8, instead.)
-
It'll sell well regardless of interior quality. Maybe the next-gen Solstice will be better. Or the Sky...

WTF? Oh yeah, you're "standing up for your beliefs."

With a FWD car, you can steer with your right foot, too. Just let go... http://www.modernracer.com/tips/frontwheel...eoversteer.html

The Freestyle is an example of excellent engineering, but stodgy design. It has everything a crossover buyer needs (excellent versatility, good driving dynamics), but not wants.
-
Or a "QuietTuned" Buick.
-
The Catera, on which the GTO is based, received a "Good" rating for the IIHS frontal test, so it's fairly safe, if not class leading. The Monaro has side airbags, btw.
-
Again, the Equinox isn't based on any car. Theta is in an entirely different size classification from Delta. The Equinox is 8.8" longer, 3.5" wider, and ~800+ lbs. heavier than the Cobalt.
-
Hmm, how many American cars were made in Japan?
-
I normally prefer black interiors, but in person, the Passat's interior looks fantastic in grey. Compared to black, it makes the cabin airier, and the black/grey contrast highlights the design cues... most notably the upper "sheet" of dash and the non-vertical door upper trim. Beige is nice, but there's an excess of wood, IMO.
-
Agreed... this seems to be the case. The Lucerne was revealed, what, in March or April? But it still hasn't arrived in dealers.
-
:( I love the Centieme's grille... oval is much more distinctive, IMO.
-
Eww...
-
You're going to have to get used to that "squircle in a square" grille... it's part of their new styling identity. Personally I like it... it continues through the sculpting on the bumper and hood. The IS looks excellent from the outside, IMO; it's bold enough to attract new customers and is consistent with Lexus design. I dislike the interior, though.
-
I wouldn't have bothered then... it's not like a Lucerne grille will convince any more people to buy a LaCrosse.
-
Why do you guys get to see it and not us? :P
-
My bad... it's riveted on: http://www.i-car.com/html_pages/about_icar...003/111003.html

The interior changes are growing on me... the generic GM radio, funky chrome surround for the speedo/tach needle base, and Tetris-interface sat nav all add to its character.
