HUMVEE

That's awesome looking! I think it looks more like the Preview concept than the new Vue.

I just saw a Saturn Commercial that had the Sky, Vue, and Aura in it. It was in the last couple seconds of the commercial where you see all three driving together, but It must've been the Concept Aura because it didn't have those 80 spoke wheels. It looked good!

I thought the wheels in that Vectra pic were basically the one's on the concept but in chrome? Also, If you don't like the ribbed plastic surround on the gauges, why not put piano black there instead? Nobody touches that much so fingerprints wouldn't be much of a problem. Overall, I like the Aura, but it still looks to me like a MUCH improved G6.

You mean you could fit a car cover for your Fleetwood in a auto show bag? That Azera bag must be as big as a duffle bag!

So what's the deal Josh?

The second suv next to it looks like the new Vue.

Josh, I will say this, While I was dissappointed with the thread, all I wanted was for you to either retract, or clarify. I don't believe you had to step down. Hell, if the NY Times people stepped down every time they were wrong, there'd be no NY Times! Hmmm, there's a thought, but I digress.. Anyway, You made a mistake, we all do, but I really don't think MOST members of this site want you gone. All that being said, I wish you well in whatever you do and this site also! Now, can we get back to having Auto news on the front page?

Did I misread this? This is from Autoblog: Saturn Outlook shelved? Posted Feb 17th 2006 8:00AM by John Neff Filed under: Minivans/MPVs A post in the Cheers & Gears forums is claiming that GM is “rethinking” the Saturn Outlook and may cancel the upcoming crossover in a few weeks. This would happen just weeks before its debut at the New York Auto Show and mere months before the Lambda-based model is scheduled to go on sale. Cheers & Gears claims only that this news comes from “industry sources”, which has us wondering where these sources are getting their info. The Outlook would share its Lambda platform with the Buick Enclave (the concept of which is to die for), as well as the GMC Acadia, so it’s curious GM would scuttle one unless an issue with insufficient production capacity is involved. Normally, however, automakers want to produce as many vehicles on a particular platform as possible, so this news has us scratching our heads. Likewise, crossover vehicles, or CUVs, are the next big thing, like green ketchup or Ashlee Simpson (sign here if you’d prefer her publicly silenced forever), so why would the General deprive Saturn of what’s sure to be a decent seller in an emerging segment?

WOW, I'm usually a lurker but occasionally will post something as I did with the original thread. I can't go back and re-read what I missed, but I too read the thread as GM was cancelling the Outlook. I thought maybe they were going to give it to Chevy or something. I'm sure I made the mistake in the way I read the post. In any case if I could offer my .02, Josh, if you're going to post something like that and it's not a link or press release, but your own understanding of a source ect., just be clear about what's going on. I never saw anywhere where it was delayed by two months ect. Again probably my mistake, but it would've been helpful if the message was clearer. Also, when I came back today to check on the latest I'm like, "what happened to this story?" Front page news shouldn't just dissappear like that with no explaination regardless of who is at fault. Now this thread is buried in the Saturn news. Maybe that's what GM wants, but I think it's a disservice to your members to not have some explaination, link, SOMETHING to all of your readers who were so upset yesterday. Thanks

I would think that "I can't wear this badge anymore" means that they arn't going to call it Malibu anymore. I read somewhere where Lutz wanted to rename it since it was going to be so much better as to not tarnish the impression. I can't see how this version can sustain itself until 09/10. It needs tons of rebates now and it's only in it's third year!

This is interesting, I'm suprised nobody found it first! http://www.cheersandgears.com/public/style_emoticons//AH-HA_wink.gif http://www.freep.com/money/autonews/attack...4e_20051024.htm
