#31 of 2998 Interior by corvette Apr 13, 2006 (5:52 am)
Haven't seen these cars in person, but in photos, the Saturn interior looks very modern, like a Passat or Acura TL.   The Buick has lots (lots!) of wood and leather, which reminds me of a Jaguar, but Buick mixes the wood with metal. The vertical leather sectioning on the seats also reminds me of Jaguar. The instrument cluster in the Buick is lit up in a pale blue--it looks very nice. I kind of wish Buick would lose the portholes on their cars.   I'm interested to see what the GMC will look like.   I know GM plans to redesign the Envoy... A car-based SUV like the Acadia (and its ilk) or Equinox (and its ilk) would be a better fit for many of the people who buy an Envoy (and its clones).
#32 of 2998 Hmmm... by turboshadow Apr 13, 2006 (10:39 am)
The more and more I see the Outlook, the less and less I like it. I hope it looks better in person. Looks kinda big, too.   Plus, LookOut! is a rather unfortunate name...

Replying to: edklein (Apr 11, 2006 9:18 am) Yep, you're right. I've seen the pic's and if hadn't been for seeing the Enclave first, I'd say this thing looks really good. It still does retain some of the lines just not as emphasized. Interior bit more tame as well. Overall though good looking vehicle.

When is the GMC version going to be shown?
#35 of 2998 Estimated MPG on OUtlook by gunga64 Apr 25, 2006 (10:04 am)
Seems to me that the forum is mostly interested in styling and engine size of the Outlook and others... I'm looking for MPG. But with 260+hp I guess I will have to look elsewhere. Replies to this message: edklein (Apr 26, 2006 9:41 am)

Replying to: gunga64 (Apr 25, 2006 10:04 am) I wouldn't discount that just yet. With the new 3.6L engine and 6 speed transmission, I'm hopeful that these cars will be able to rate better than 30mpg hwy.
#37 of 2998 MPG on Outlook by rmanke Apr 26, 2006 (4:44 pm)
Looking at a recent write-up on the Outlook, the AWD MPG ratings were 16 city, 24 highway. This vehicle weighs just under 5000 lbs. and is around 200 inches long. For me, GM missed the boat if they're aiming for a mid-sized crossover. I thought my Pilot at 4450 lbs. was overweight.

Replying to: rmanke (Apr 26, 2006 4:44 pm) 24 MPG?   acceptable, but nothing fantastic.   Is it just me, or does the Outlook look significantly longer than the Pilot?
#39 of 2998 Length - jchan2 by rmanke Apr 27, 2006 (9:11 am)
The Pilot is 188" vs. the Outlook at 200". The Outlook is very close to the Tahoe in size.
#40 of 2998 5000 lbs? by edklein Apr 27, 2006 (9:31 am)
Man, that is a lot heavier that I was expecting. A Honda Odyssey Touring weighs a good deal less than that and gets better mileage. Granted, we're talking AWD on the Outlook (what's the source on that, anyway?) but I can't see a 2WD giving back more than 2mpg, so say 26 hwy.   I'm seriously considering looking at these vehicles when I make my next purchase in about two years. But, if I'm going to give up that much cargo space over a minivan, it has got to give more back in the mileage department.
