The Phantoms are OK, but Bentleys look better. Both blown away into water when the AM Rapide hits.

He means the top row of buttons on the passenger side looks a bit rotated.

I don't think this would hit GM that much, right? The last time I saw stock Goodyear tires is my old Cavalier. The new ones use Hankooks?

Guys, this Corolla is the Japanese/European version. The US version will be completely different. I don't understand why everyone starts to compare the Cobalt to this thing. The Taiwanese Corolla Altis, which is the closest (same?) to the US Corolla actually got some new enhancements for 2006. I wouldn't say undoubtedly, since it's not even a direct comparison at the moment. If you are comparing the US Mazda3s here, which I assume you're thinking about, Mazda3s overseas don't get any of the engines that are sold here, minus the MS3 Turbo 2.3. You can't compare cars across different sales areas. The cars are just simply different.

Let's see... which one's uglier? CR-V or this?

Or do a refreshed Cobalt Poker Run where the to-be new Corolla is to be intro'ed... Just like what they did with the Challenger.

I think we all should just take FoG's idea: Buy an H2, and write on the back: "F**K YOU TREEHUGGERS!"

I know... I was poking at him.

Wait... SRT-8?? When did the puny truck wannabe got a eight banger?

Don't get black... It's way too common. According to the population census at the G6 forum I go to over half the people there have black coupes.

Back in for me. I find it hard to remind myself not to do it when shopping for groceries.

Hope it's not a double post... http://www.evo.co.uk/news/evospyshots/2002..._corsa_vxr.html I wonder what will happen if that engine makes it into an Aveo... EDIT: It should be Vauxhall, not Opel. Opel's should be called OPC.

F... oh wait, no profanity here... So my word is: groundhugging

But Solstice is a new model, with no immediate predecessor. Toyota is laying back a REDESIGN of a current car. Different stories.

Some of them I agree here, some don't.1. Yes, this one I mentioned it in my review as well. The cupholders are in an awkward position. 2. I don't find any problems with this one. I've been literally driving my cars for hours and it's not hurting my back or anything. 3. In case you haven't noticed, the 3900 isn't really a successor to the 3800 series. Cars that got the 3900 were positioned as if they were to get the old 3400 from the Grand Am. Have you seen a Buick car with a 3900, minus the Terraza? 4. I have drive by wire on my car, again I don't have any problems with it. Newer technologies take a bit time to adapt to it, just like when ABS first came out. Even when Mercedes demonstrated their new brake system the test driver crashed the car. 5. This was corrected in 2007. The only model to get the electric steering is the 4-cylinder. 6. & 7. This is personal opinion. I'm pretty sure a lot of people think differently. As well, Lutz didn't do the Malibu. 8. The idea of the GTO coming here was more of a toy idea than an actual replacement. That's why it only came here for a short period of time. The real one comes in 2008 or 9. 9. & 10. Can you elaborate on "let go"? I'm pretty sure it's not just Lutz who approves just everything. Yes, he has the power to, but GM's not a one man company. 11. The Sunfire was dated. Especially with the Cobalt around, it is just worthless to have it hanging around. The original idea was to not rebadge the Cobalt as a Pontiac, but they had to do it anyways because the dealers were complaining. Don't forget the Torana is pretty much confirmed now for Pontiac. As for the Bonneville, don't forget: it's P-B-G now. Pontiac is NOT a full lineup. 12. What's wrong with the Aura and the Lucerne? They're selling and gaining friction. Yes, from certain angles the Aura looks like a refreshed Sebring, but who cares? It's a good car and styling, as I was saying, is personal opinion. 13. Not sure about this one, but the LaCrosse/Allure wasn't Lutz's as well, IIRC. The LaCrosse is getting refreshed soon, so it doesn't matter. 14. What the hell is "boringest"? Is it even a word? Again, the taillamps on the Lucerne is a styling issue. Personal opinion. 15. Look at the SRX, and upcoming CTS spyshots. 16. Styling opinion, I don't really like the spoiler on my car either. But not because it's ugly, I just think the G6 doesn't really need one. If you hate it you can always go with an aftermarket one. It's choice. 17. Again, styling is personal. The Corolla looks even more like an appliance, and yet it sells. GM is an automobile manufacture, not an interior design firm. Yes, they need to make it attractive, but a solid car is more important. And the Cobalt is one. 18. Again: P-B-G. Yes, some are my personal opinions, but yours were as well. Alot of your focus was on what was happened already, but nothing much on what is going to happen. There's no use crying over spilt milk, and the future is what's more important. We can only learn lessons from them, and I'm pretty sure GM has already. Give Lutz and company some space and time to work with. A car from concept to actual product takes time.

But you know what? People around are still going to whore about it and claim it's the best car. They're still going to sell because it's burned into their brains that if they need a car, they'll need a Corolla. But in the meantime, GM should get their acts together and accelerate the development of the Cobalt redesign, and the new platforms. Don't wait.

The GTO's not bland, per se... It's just in the wrong place at the wrong time. If it was around a few years earlier, it would've been a great companion with the 97-03 Grand Prix. They almost look identical, I'd say.

Maybe there was stuff in the trunk?

Going to dealerships are bad. When they offer you a test drive it's worse. That's how I got hooked onto mine and can't get out.

The gauge cluster looks like it came from a Porsche.

Call me crazy, but I want one like this, just with white walls and moon disc hubcaps. Oh, and chrome the bumpers too.

They won't be designing a new console just because of a new bodystyle. Who cares anyways? There's always other creative uses for the thing.

Probably nothing to fuss about... http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_...ersandgears.com Or does it just means they are more resourceful on the element "trolls"?
