No one can think of anything else? Rolls-Royce 101EX

I have an idea on selling your truck. If you still have all the stock stuff (wheels, tires, other stuff you've done), put the stock stuff back on it and trade it like that. Then go to a Colorado forum (or eBay, etc) and sell your aftermarket stuff. I bet you would get more doing that anyways. Congrats on the truck! Take some pics, I haven't seen a short box standard cab config yet.

No offense, but that's not a very good chop. I doubt the grills will be that big. We just need to wait and see. As long as making it into a Pontiac doesn't make it ugly, I see no reason why it won't be best-in-class. There's not much competition.

Did no one else catch that you can't get a manual with the DI engine, or is it just that no one cares?

That'd be very cool if it had a Solstice-inspired front end

Saab is so small though. Last year they sold only 36k vehicles the entire year, Pontiac does that in one month most of the time. I don't think 36k sales in a market that sells 16-17 million vehicles a year is going to hurt GM much, especially if they free up money to spend on higher-volume vehicles. Heck, the Buick "9-4x" and Buick "9-3" I proposed would probably sell 100k units. I see no reason why the 9-4x can't sell at least as good as the Rendezvous, which I believe did over 70k units one year. That's double what the whole Saab brand does at a not much cheaper price (most likely).

The headlights have light "tubes" or something to that effect. That's the skinny vertical thing that's glowing. I don't remember exactly what they called them but it was something like that.

I don't see why the passenger seat should only be 4-way power when the driver's is 8-way. Some of the standard features on CX are great. Xenons, power liftgate, tri-zone automatic climate control, and leather-wrapped steering wheel with real wood? I weren't expecting all of those to be standard on the base model. 19s standard on CXL is also impressive. I think one thing is certain: the Enclave is going to be a somewhat expensive vehicle.

I moved this to where it belongs. Anyways, that does look very nice. The CTS now has some competition, it would appear. I think both look very good on the outside, though the CTS' interior is much more stylish.

It seems as though the Cobalt MCE has been pushed back to be an early '09 MY rather than an '08.

Great pics, thanks! But, in video 3, what's with the guy saying the 3.6 DI is only available with the auto?

MonaroCountry - Nice pics, can you post more or link to them?

I think one of Saab's biggest problems is lack of dealers. I was going to have my aunt look at them when she was car shopping, but there wasn't a dealer within an hour's drive (meaning she would have to drive more than an hour for an oil change) so she didn't look at them. I don't dislike Saabs at all, but I often think it would be better for GM to just dump them. By now, they have any turbo technology Saab could provide, and I don't see much else that's worth anything other than having another brand to sell cars under. I think the money could be better spent elsewhere, but the same could be said about other brands. For instance, instead of the 9-3, how about a Buick the same size (assuming NG LaCrosse will be bigger)? It would attract younger buyers to Buick and also give Buick a possible convertible. Instead of the 9-5, I guess the LaCrosse or Aura could be made better, but I have no other idea for a direct area for the money saved to go. Instead of the upcoming 9-4x, how about a Buick off TE? I'm guessing the Buick would sell at least 3-4 times as many units, and while at a lower price, it wouldn't be that much cheaper, therefore giving GM more profit. Also, instead of the Aero X or some sort of sports car that it seems Saab may be getting, how about something more for Pontiac? A Saab sportscar is going to sell what, 250 units a month? A Pontiac sports car could sell 4 times that much at least. I think GM could find a buyer somewhere. I don't know who would buy Saab, but I'm sure someone would. If nothing else, it would be much cheaper for GM to just give it to a competitor than to kill the brand.

Does that really matter though? It's not like you're moving when you shift, at least most of the time (on an auto).

It still appears to have the same cheap materials, but at least the design doesn't have the truck-like design any more. They really need to redo the whole interior, or at least the materials, IMO.

They don't have the capacity. I think their total capacity is something like 150k or 180k, and the Camaro is supposed to sell 100k alone. Plus, it's not ready yet anyways.

Umm, the whole reason this is being discussed is because it is the opinion of some than the 3-Series is just as suitable for adults in the back seat as the CTS, and I think most of us would agree that is not the case.

I think it should be fine. The GTO is rarely driven when I'm at college, but it runs fine when it does get driven.

Cool, but the pic doesn't work.

The Detroit show is very crowded. I only went once and it's a cool experience (just because it's THE NAIAS), but Chicago is nicer, less crowded, and has more vehicles.

I like the old one a lot better. This one looks more like a truck and less sporty. At least the interior is (slightly) improved.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's just talking the first model year. I don't expect the Camaro to have a 500HP engine until the second model year, so it would make sense to have a 260HP V6, 300+HP V6, and ~420HP V8 to start things off.

See, to me the greenhouses and C-pillar look almost identical, except that the MKR's is lower and more sleek (and would not work on a production car because of headroom). But, other than that, the only things I see that are any better on the MKR is that streak or whatever coming off the emblem (and some would not like that), and the rocker panels. The line going down the side is more pronounced, but the CTS pic sucks (only one I could find at a similar angle to MKR), and I think it will be more apparent in real life. The MKR lacks the nice bulges around the wheel wells that the CTS has, so I'm not seeing how the MKR blows it out of the water. The MKR's roof line is better, but can anyone under 6' tall fit in the back seat? In this picture the line on the CTS is more apparent, I think:

Please explain what makes this: So much more exciting than this:
