Welcome to Choppin' Competition #18! SAAB has been largely ignored by many of us as the redheaded stepchild of the General Motors family. But with a solid customer base, international flavor, and a rich history steeped in bleeding-edge aviation technology, SAAB is poised to become a vital part of GM's luxury portfolio...if it gets new product. Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to 'Chop the SAAB AeroX into the next SAAB vehicle you think SAAB needs. Ideas include the next 9-5, Kappa-based Sonnett, next 9-3, midsize crossover. You're not limited by those, though, so feel free to make up something of your own! The only rule aside from 800x600 size guidelines is that is must be based on an image of the SAAB AeroX concept. Choose any image you'd like. Here are links to some: SAAB AeroX downloads AutoDeadline SAAB Aero X search The winner will recieve a SAAB-related prize! Deadline is Wednesday, May 3rd @ 11:59PM your local time. Good luck!

Voting commences shortly!

Okay, for an outsider's perspective on skip-shift... It saves you about $1,300 from the guzzler tax, but its defeatable with a $19.95 kit that is easy to install and doesn't interfere with anything in/on the car nor does it invalidate the warranty. Net savings from GM to you - $1280.05. This nearly pays for Magnaride, the transparant roof set, or navigation. What's the problem?

The Camry has pretty subpar cargo volume, especially for a car its size.

LaCrosse taillamps are much nicer, though. While I think the overall shape could be better, they're jeweled inside and at night have a semi-unique look to them with one main lamp and two smaller lamps. It definitely looks better on darker colors, though.

Use this one, BV...

Actually, the bottom one is the REV concept, the middle is the HY-Wire concept.

Fifty cents apiece, btw.

Hmm...okay...I'll buy that. It just looks really overwhelmed by the rest of LEDs when one is braking/signalling, hence why I thought that in the first place.

Uh...heh...I even said it resembles a VW myself. I still think the Lucerne looks good. Its handsome and stately, but could certainly be more Buicky. People can mock all of the Buicks of the late-90s and early 2000s all they want, there was no mistaking them for what they were.

See, this is one of those things where I really just need to have you, a TL, and the nighttime to adequately explain, but I'll try... The entire rear red lamp clusters of the TL are LEDs, I don't know how many, but there are multiple columns. When signaling, only the column furthest to the edge illuminates. When the car signals while braking, its harder to notice the one column of LEDs blinking when the other six or seven rows in the body of the taillamp unti are brightly-lit. With the STS, the LEDs are larger in height and size (or appear to be?) and because there are only two columns, when one column flashes, its more obvious. I like the DTS' method where the entire setup blinks. If you don't know a DTS is making a turn, you shouldn't be driving at night.

This is probably the third-worst special edition Tundra in existence. Its bested by the Terminator 3 Tundra T3 (It actually says all that on it) and the George W. Bush Inaugual Edition Tundra.

Powertrain? Interior? Exterior? Equipment?

I think people here are adequately adept at defending themselves without the help of others.

NOS & Camaroman...you two are golden. Light a Series III under it, NOS, and finish up!

None yet. Likely the next LaCrosse.

Not really. In person, they don't look alike, even in similar colors. The Buick has larger headlamps and a much larger, more rounded grille. The photography plays tricks on you. Also, the rear end has more in common with newer Volkswagens than Acuras, who by the way, need to work on making the entire taillamp act as a turn signal on the TL rather than one thin strip of LEDs.

This means so much to myself and the others who put together and run this website on a daily basis. I thank you for your patronage here and wish you good luck in finding whatever car you're looking for (sure you don't want a Lucerne? I do have to say it). I also apologize to all for Testicles. Its clear he has none and he'll have plenty of time to find a set now that he won't be bothering this site anymore.

I'd rather drive less than drive such a horrid little car like that.

The incriminating evidence shall remain! Just kidding. Its a common mistake, really.
