Pics of pimped out G6 from Pontiac.com
the production version completely lacks the 'shoulders' of the concept and the 'gait' as well. The grille and hood are more well defined on the concept. the concept looks more serious and believable. the production version looks nice, it just doesn't have the presence of the concept. Clearly, having to share the 'not wide enough for a real mid size' Epsilon platform killed its styling effect. I make a similar anonolgy to the Auroras. the original had a substantial presence to it. the 01+ Aurora, while nice, clearly did not have the stance and grace of the original. A lot of it the size of the greenhouse in proportion to the rest of the body. On the concept, in the front quarter view, the greenhouse is not so dominant on the car. on the prod version, it looks huge. The aurora also had the same thing.

2007 Acura MDX Preview
ah, BV shooting his mouth off again. Youth and rage, youth and rage. we're all used to it by now, so whatever. sure, i guess if you'd enjoy a nicer honda over a real luxury vehicle like a BMW, go ahead, that's your prerogative. I already own a Honda. I cut grass with it. I bought it at sears. Acuras are so exotic that way, all that racing technology straight from the lawn mower and gas pressure washers. Cobalts are cleaning Hondas clocks on the tracks nowadays anyways. Even VW has a greater brand equity than Acura. The MDX sells well because it was among the best of the crossovers. It still might be, but it sells because its a well done family vehicle. It has luxury elements to it...but in the final analysis, Acura will never achieve the desirability brands people really would rather drive first, Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Porsche. Acura is something for those folks to drive while they are on the way up the socio economic ladder. Once they arrive, they jettison those Japanese keys and buy something their well to do friends won't raise an eyebrow at. Proof, Honda, er, Acura RL. How many times are they gonna need to try that one before people take it seriously? The least Honda could do is build a Luxury car that folks might even classify with a Lexus, for starters. Honda can't even gain as much cred as the Lexus vehicles.

"ACURA" "CSX"
LMAO, it would be interesting to see if CR graded this out better than the Isuzus it shared everything with.

the Mazda3 still spanks the civic. so does the cobalt, BTW. WRX does also.

GM Death Watch 95: Dear John
thank you. I've always fashioned TTAC to be just a blog site. Nothing that amateurish could be considered real journalism. A few 'articles' and reviews are ok, but Farago's bits look and smell like the bottom of my Kohler after a few bowls of my hot and steamy home made chili.

What is your next car purchase?
i got a brief test of a 4 door wrangler and liked it. the extra room is awesome. actually, if the one rumor of the VE Commodore coming as the Grand Prix next summer as an 08 is true, then that is my answer. A nice AWD, 6 speed manual 4 door Commodore or Statesman with either a v8 or twin turbo direct inject 3.6 v6 would be cool.

First Drive: 2007 Suzuki XL7
i read James Healy's review of the CRV yesterday. he loved it, but said, why get a nice CRV when you can get a v6 RAV4 with 100 more hp and not much more dough. Applying it to this, why get a CRV or RAV 4 when you can get this?
