The Aura needs better wheels and piano black
Yes, sexier 5-spoke wheels, like the Sky's or the concept Aura's, would do wonders to the overall appearance of the exterior. Those bland multi-spoke wheels largely detract from it as they have no connection to the design and can be seen on many other cars. Also, a piano black treatment to the center stack would greatly increase the interior appearance. As it stands, the lower portion, that's surrounded with wood and containing the radio and HVAC controls, doesn't flow well with the upper portion very well. The greyish plastic just exaggerates that. A piano black finish, like the Sky's, as well as metal-like trim, is much more upscale looking. Personally, I would also like to see projector-beam headlights in place of the average halogen-bulbed ones as well as larger, more shapely lower grill openings like the concept's. A redesigned center stack, that flows more like the Sky's, without the wood seperating it into an upper and lower portion would also be something I'd prefer. I'd like to also see an available Navagation system to be completely competitive with it's rivals. Either way, just doing what little this thread suggests would do so much towards the Aura's overall attractiveness. They're quite simply and easy changes to implement.

Jeep Compass
As anyone can see... This Pontiac fanatic regularly bashes the Aztek for being ugly. Well, is it possible that there exists a vehicle uglier than it? Can it be? Oh my... I think there is... It's called... Compass. Oh my... my oh my... It's ugly. The more I look at it, the uglier it looks. Not that it was ever not ugly... Time to edit all my posts that have Aztek bashings in them... Now, OC, you were saying...?

Edmunds: Long-Term Test: 2006 Mitsu Eclipse GT
It's not a blob. Anything is better looking than a blob, including the Aztec. Say "NO!" to blobs.

Clash of the Epsilons
Where's the "none" option? Anyways, the G6, if I could heavily modify it... The Aura, depending on how the Red Line is... and the 9-3, as is in everyway; preferably sedan. Otherwise... bleh.

Dodgefan, It's the details that matter. GM always gets the details wrong... Still do, I see.

His is... especially with that nice front disc brake. Mine... well, it used to be... With all the rust, the worn front shocks, the mis-matched brakes, and that damn sprocket... not all that nice. That and it squeaks...

Wait... there are no bike shops in Brookville. How am I suppos... wait, you looked them up? Oh my... damnit, Z... you caught me in the act, trying to be lazy and using Brookville's crappiness as an excuse to cover it up, again. Anyways, we realized we'd have to take to a bike shop or something since we couldn't fix it when we tore it apart... but we're both lazy so it never happened. Damn us. Well, I took it out of the shed just for you all to see... as well as my spare, aka "dad's", bike out of the garage. Took pictures of the two Mongooses... The blue/alum one is mine while the red/alum/black one is his.

Z, I've had it all apart down to where niether my dad nor myself could get any farther (most likely due to not having a certain tool, but I don't remember... it's been over two years). Basically, when pedaling, the sprockets turn, but the wheel doesn't. Anyways, no it's just a 21-speed mountain bike where you can pedal backwards for something to do when you're bored, even though it's not good for it. Damn Mongoose, anyways...

Sketch Competition #4 - 2009 Chevrolet Impala
Hmm... 09 Impalla... hmm... with historic styling?!?!? That's just another word for retro. I'm out. Just kidding... I'm going modern, though, and there's nothing you can do about it. I guess I could incorporate a historic badge or something... maybe a random piece of chrome... IDK.

Two part question
I see I started alot younger than most people... Let's see... I drove that Regal, the blue GASE, the 77 Chevy truck, and the 88 C/K Cheyenne all before I was 16. My first car with a manual, though, was my lovely GAGT at 16. To this day, I've never stalled it. I feel special for that.

My bike is broken. I can pedal... but it doesn't do anything. Otherwise, it was a damn nice bike that I had modded out with a speedometer/info thing, drink holder, sport seat, LED/halogen headlight, and LED taillight! Now it sits up in my shed... somewhat rusted and its only a few years old. Pity. Oh... and I can partly blame my 300EX and that thing called a driver's license as well as the f@#ked up rear wheel/sprocket.

SATURN AURA RADIATES STYLE, REFINEMENT
Um... where to start? Those wheels look worse than I expected. The lack of NAV and Projectors is ridiculous. The interior has alot of problems with things lining up perfectly. The ribs are bad. The color scheme is bad. Overall, it's quite bland without the concept's little details. Not bad, but could have been more...
-
SATURN HAS AN ALL-NEW OUTLOOK
Hmm... Maybe I just had high expectations, but I'm underwhelmed. It's nice, but it's not great. It doesn't look edgy, like the Opel design theme... the interior, well, again it looks nice, but not great. The whole thing seems a bit bland and even outdated.
