I don't care much for chrome wheels or the Monte styling with stock rims but when you put 18's on it DAMN that car all of a sudden looks killer. I mean it just add 18" chrome wheels and bam it looks great.
-
Sounds good but I wanted Lower rear end Plastic around center console that is part of dash replaced. Those two thing would do worlds to me. Oh and get the info stuff out of the radio and offer navigation.

The Aura needs better wheels and piano black
rueben44 replied to Northstar's topic in Heritage Marques
Mr. Lutz, You and others told us of how you(GM) would stay true to the German influence. On many takes you have but these two issues need to be addressed. 1) Piano Black for the radio and center stack controls. While don’t think the plastic looks cheap every automaker uses it I do think Saturn needs that extra push on the presentation side to win over import buyers. 2) We would like Opel rims on this car like those offered on the Vectra and not the ugly hand me down version on the production car that debuted. Keep the rear of the car from hanging high and with those modifications the Aura will be a winning combination. -
Good upgrades plus I hope they close the wheel gap with the change in the suspension or bigger tires. If they do that with those upgrades then i think it will be a nice little product. Remember from what has been said above they are addressing interior materials and adding navigation so I am holding out hope.

BMW China Partner Brilliance Sets 2007 US Rollout
rueben44 replied to VenSeattle's topic in Other Makes
The outside is nice but that interior looks like trash. What will their slogan be," Build by the worlds cheapest workforce!" -
I love it and I do not like large chrome wheels. Dang that is hot except for the dash tv thing. i'm sorry if you can not put it indash I do not want it. Sticking out like that is so...tacky.

Why do I feel that after I get rid of my CTS and the Mazda I will be buying a foreign make? The RX8 is looking good tome know that GM f up the Aura! So much for us getting Opel's because the Vectra does not look like some economy sedan like that picture. Where’s the muscle and aggression. Leave Pontiac for the people who like weaker designs.

You know at first I said I would wait but you know what after looking at it more I hate it. They put a crease in the top side of the bumper. They also took the nice front slanted crease out of the front bumper. It just looks so weak I hate I defended this car so long. Anyway I will still try to wait but it is not looking good to me.
-
Nice car but it does not look new.
-
Looks nice to me. You can't please everyone but at least most of us fine it more refined looking already.

The must be really selling in Houston because I see them all the time now. The funeral home owner down the street has two of them one in black the other in white diamond. I was shocked that the local dealer near me has none on display but I see many on the road. I guess that is a good sign.
-
LOL! I was just like you guys I was saying how in the heck are they driving that thing with a cover over the windows then I realized it was flat. From what we can see it look sharp!!!! Small wheel gaps, fender flairs and all!
-
What ever that car is nice and worlds better looking than my CTS. I wish my CTS looked like that inside then maybe I would not start to be embarrassed of the materials.
-
I think it will be Lambada but that is just my guess. To be honest I don't think GMC needs a crossover I think Saab should be getting it instead. What they should do is cancel the Acadia and let Saab fine tune what they have and put Saab design ques on it. Then they can cancel the 9-7x.

He cited U.S. engineers' decision to soften the ride of the Opel Astra when creating two platform mates That is the part that I caught. So it sounds as if the Saturn was trying to soften the suspension of the Astra which mean it should not be very long before it comes over. I mean if they are truly keeping most of the car the same.

Done Deal 17.4% share sold, GM rases 2 Billion
rueben44 replied to Newbiewar's topic in General Motors
Ok ths sounds good over all I have no issue with it as long as they use the money wisely. One thing I think it should be used for is the Malbu and Impala so that they can sell more models and make some money. Also increase quality and design on the inside and out of both cars. That or use it to get the mild hybrid systeminto more car that are under 30K. -
I think it is because of the panels that have a complicated process in forming that slow it down. Also you have to consider they will be making the Sky, and Opel GT at the same plant in addition to the Sky Redline.
-
Thanks. I guess I will let it go I guess the comments are not hateful but I just found it kind of strange to see such comment and generalizations that it troubled me. I still think it is all in bad taste though.

I can not believe the moderators let this topic stay open. Blatant homophobia what is next n88ger jokes. First the Outlook story now this!

GM to sell 20 pct stake in Suzuki Motor for $2.33B
rueben44 replied to BigPontiac's topic in General Motors
Sorry this sounds crazy to me. Daewoo peddles their car to Suzuki which helps keep them making cars at a profit. Also GM has stake in a company that is doing well. Not to mention Suzuki is a way for GM to sell products to Japan. 2 Billion Is good but I would have rather they sell Isuzu stock than this! All I have to say is we better see some great products with this money. -
Sorry guys but I think the SRX is hot but needs an interior upgrade.

New Opel GT: Exciting Design, Classic Sports-Car
rueben44 replied to Variance's topic in Opel/Vauxhall
Yea that is a hot one that is a no excuse car except for one thing the trunk space. Other wise no other roadster for under $40K can touch it. -
Yea the coupe looks 200X better than the sedan but the point is GM needs to improve the materials in the inside and give it some better standard rims. Also get the info stuff out of the radio and offer navigation as an option. I would also upgrade the lights in the front.
-
IF you did this your self then I would check that the Antenna wire is plugged in securely. If you did not do it just take it is to the dealer. Also check your wires again and if need be go in to a parts department and talk really nice to some one and have them give you a print out of the schematics. Tell them what you are doing and that you need their help and you will find most people really nice. If first you don’t succeed try try again.

I feel you man because Stewart Cadillac here in Houston is trash ( on Main Street)! I got my CTS from them and last December a guy hit me in the rear. Well I took it in to them and the bill was 14K, way over priced, but I did not care I was not paying. Anyway they gave me my car back with some type of dry crème in the cracks and damaged my paint by buffing it to hard. Anyway I when in and they totally disrespected me. Thing is they did not know I am in the market for a new car if sold on it. Anyway they rebuffed it for me and call me a liar. For that Cadillac better come out with something special next year or I will be jumping ship. Saturn is the only GM hope if not BMW, Audi, or Benz will get my money. Dang I just realized how mad I still am about it. Anyway like you said the best way to deal is to go online with the search. Also see if you can sell your car to Carmax!
