GM Unable to Find a Buyer for Saab (Straightline) GM Denies Problems In Finding Saab Buyers (CNN) |

HHR - I like it better than the PT Cruiser. The HHR at least resembles an old Chevy. The PT Cruiser reminds me more of a 1937 Ford than any past Mopar product, Aveo - My Mom has one and has no problems with it. Impala - What the heck is wrong with the Impala? Aura - isn't this the Saturn clone of the excellent Malibu? Vibe - Isn't this a Toyota Matrix in disguise? Trailblazer - Dead |

Replying to: lemko (Jan 09, 2009 10:21 am) Vibe - Isn't this a Toyota Matrix in disguise? The Aura was the beta version of the Malibu. This year (as Saturn is about to disappear) it finally catches up to the Malibu. The Vibe's interior is awful compared to the Matrix (at least in the previous generation, haven't seen the current model). The current version of the Vibe/Matrix has gotten lukewarm reviews. |

Replying to: lemko (Jan 09, 2009 10:21 am) I agree it's better than the PT Cruiser. However, that leaves a LOT of cars that it ISN"T better than. Aveo - My Mom has one and has no problems with it. Congrats to your mom. It's still worse than the Yaris, Fit, Versa, Rio, and Accent. Impala - What the heck is wrong with the Impala? Nothing if you're a cop, I guess. Other than that though, the Taurus, Avalon, Accord, 300C, etc are a lot better. Aura - isn't this the Saturn clone of the excellent Malibu? I'm not sure about this..is it the clone of this gen or last gen? I know the Aura is missing some features on the Malibu (Satellite radio comes to mind). I know the Pontiac G6 is based on the last gen Malibu, not the current one. Vibe - Isn't this a Toyota Matrix in disguise? Yeah. So? That sucks too.  Trailblazer - Dead Thank God.

Replying to: bpizzuti (Jan 09, 2009 10:42 am) I'm not sure about this..is it the clone of this gen or last gen? I know the Aura is missing some features on the Malibu (Satellite radio comes to mind). I know the Pontiac G6 is based on the last gen Malibu, not the current one.  Aura has XM satellite radio as standard. G6, old Malibu, Aura are all based on Epsilon I architecture. The Opel Insignia and the new LaCrosse are based on the slightly larger Epsilson II architecture. |

A friend of mine bought a base model LT (?) when they first came out. I think he paid something like 13 grand for it, with a stick. That is one hell of a bargain. Now, this was beyond bare bones, which meant weak radio, crank windows, thinly padded seats, I don't even think it had A/C, but for the money it was a ton of car. I would have bought one myself if it had AWD and better seats.

GM’s E-Flex system is the same that will power the highly anticipated Chevrolet Volt range-extending electric vehicle, but don’t expect the Cadillac concept to be just some boring four-door. Cadillac gave its designers free range on the new concept, resulting in a highly stylized – and extremely fuel efficient –two-door coupe. According to Businessweek, the Caddy concept will be smaller than the current CTS sedan and will have looks even “bolder” than the upcoming CTS coupe. One GM executive even told Businessweek the car’s styling will make “people want it regardless of the energy source.” http://www.leftlanenews.com/cadillac-e-flex-coupe-concept.html
