Uh... the first interior picture is clearly washed out with too much camera flash. The second pic is more representative of normal lighting. The Volkswagen is built like a tank, and feels intuitive to drive. There is truth to that old ad slogan (I won't pretend to spell it, but you all remember that word, and maybe the loose translation given by VW.) All you have to do is roll the windows down and shut the doors and hatchlid on a VW. Even without the cushion of air that comes with closed windows, the doors close with a solid "thunk". The car goes over the road with a secure, solid feeling. They love to be driven hard, and are stable at top speed. No fuel cutoff in a VW. I'm interested in driving a 2.5L Golf. The power ratings closely match my '00 GTI 1.8t (which was conservately rated at 150 hp to avoid conflict with the redundant VR6 at that time.) I'm already used to the unique growl of a 5 cylinder. A green or blue 2 door like the silver car above would suit me fine.

I am not a fan of oversized headlights. Can't really tell if these are gargantuan, but they do appear to wrap around the fenders. I love the 300, and hope that magic can be brought down in size here.

Yeah, the Aerio now has a conventional dashboard. I think it's a spunky little car. It's got plenty of horsepower, comes in nice colors, and it's available with AWD (auto trans only with AWD, sadly.) That "ice blue" they've got this year is bangin'.

I enjoy bouncing any number of subjects off of fellow members down here in the lounge. I know some things I say may cause discomfort, or even disgust in some other members. I do try not to go too far, or get too graphic. I try to regulate myself. As I've said on many occasions, if I offend anyone with some of my crap, let me know. I find "in your face" is not always the best way to approach things. Here are some really HOT pictures: user posted image user posted image user posted image EDIT: Dammit, they won't work! I guess you all will just have to be imaginative. :AH-HA_wink:

Not bad. I like it. It's sporty enough in 3 door guise. I'd like to price a 2.5 5 speed 3 door.

JC Whitney gone wild. That's really sad. But funny!

Nice catch, carstar. This thing may shape up OK after all. I'm still suspicious of the ribbed hood though.

It looks too "foreign" (which is fine for where it's sold, of course.) It wouldn't work here as a Malibu, imo. The headlights remind me too much of the last Saturn L-series.

How about... 6? :AH-HA_wink:

True dat. Our local Hyundai dealership has an '05 Cobalt LT, an '05 Malibu LT, and an '05 Taurus parked on the front row.

Yeah, we're a wild lot. Hey, they're calling for snow on Saturday. I know I can get there regardless in my trusty Colorado, but if it's really, really snowing... this might throw a wrench into the works.

Nice bamboo. Your hands don't work? :AH-HA_wink:

Well, I was just kidding. I have no idear if they're right or wrong.

Phi

Well that's embarrassing. First one off the line and it's got the wrong wheels on it.

Dove

'76 or '77 Regal coupe, light blue, in perfect condition, Buick's cool chrome&black road wheels, with a factory-appearing rear spoiler and "GS" badges on the fender... but it had full chrome. I was like WTF?

Uh, Sixty8, bud, I think WMJ was trying to be funny and make a point with his "FWD" comment.
