Agreed... the turbo makes the I4 feel surprisingly torquey.

They should do a Scottish one.

Does anybody know what the gearlever/boot/layout of the automatic Sky and Solstice looks like?

I think "TAPShift" wouldn't be so cheesy if it were "tapshift" (a la "allroad") or "tapSHIFT", but then again, Nissan might sue. Edit: What about "tapShift"? Now that's brilliant.

Nice! Have you considered getting the new "sport" grille for the CTS? http://www.cadillac.com/cadillacjsp/model/...y.jsp?model=cts (7th pic from the left)

The Maxx's upmarket cousin, the 9-3 SportCombi can be had for $24,480 with ED. You might want to check it out: http://www.saabusa.com/saabjsp/europeandelivery/choose.jsp

Well, that's certainly an improvement, though it's arguable whether or not three V-6s are necessary. The GT should get the HF 3.6.

Same... there are "$28,888 NEW GTO!" ads in the paper now.

Some elements of the interior look a bit cheesy... my expectations are higher for the Outlook.

Well for, say, a 3-series, the first 50,000 miles are free, and you can extend it to 100K for $945. Apart from tires, everything is included.. even brake pads/rotors, wipers, filter changes, clutch, and drive belts.

There's this sense of purity to driving a good, cheap, simple, small car. You can have tons of fun while not going very quickly.

Their Solstice was black, too. A color like Bluestone, Silver Graphite, or even Sunburst Yellow would work better by accentuating the differences between the two, IMO.

I kinda like the clear tails... they're definitely more interesting than the red blocks on our cars.

I think "second-tier" is a better word than "third-world". Like many GM cars, Hyundai/Kia products still don't look very professional.

I wish it weren't black.

I'm waiting for SSS.

How about painting the shiny reflector parts?

You've been watching too much of the O' Reilly Factor. I love the look whenever he says "CaliFORNIA" or "Los ANGELes" or "San FranCISCO."

No...?

The C70 and EOS are both a lot cooler.

It is a 5-series chop.

Wow, that is really, really bad. The SE version looks 10x better.

I loved the old van's interior. Or at least the design.

But it's not placed right in the middle. The Pursuit's is rather obvious, not to mention ugly.
