2007 SRX Changes
The part right above the center stack might be, but I don't think all of it is.

Choppin' Competition #21 - Chevrolet Lambda
MRDETROITMETAL: You do realize Lambda is a whole hell of a lot bigger than anything the HHR would ride on, right?

2010 Lucerne: RWD Zeta?
I think the dates are wrong but they have the right information for the most part (just not the dates) :AH-HA_wink:

New Enclave Spy Shots!
The interior appears to be intact as well, bravo GM!

New Enclave Spy Shots!
Looks really good. I was worried it might lose the small wheel well gaps, but it appears that they aren't any bigger than the concept's. It looks like the translation was made pretty well from what we can see, my only question: where are the portholes?

Should we replace our Expy
If it is getting close to the end of the warranty you might want to trade. If it was me I'd probably wait for the hybrid Tahoe, though.

Top 10 Safest Vehicles
I agree about the TC and what's the LS doing on there? It's not even being produced still, is it?
-
What to buy?
I'd go for the Aura out of those. I don't like the new Altima and I think the powertrain is far superior in the Aura vs. LaCrosse. Accord is a good car but you really need to V6 to have much power, and it's pricey.

New Equinox Interior Pic
Meh, it's a nice upgrade but nothing that's going to set the world on fire. Aside from NAV, the steering wheel is the biggest improvement I feel, the faux wood isn't that great, IMO.

What should I buy?
I'd say Alero and Intrigue are your best bets. A 98-03 GP wouldn't be bad either, especially in GTP trim.

07 Avalanche pics
Great pics, Camino. The Avalanche may be GM's best product right now. It's relatively affordable for what you get, very versitile, and looks great and has a very good interior. The Tahoe and Suburban are both very good as well but neither offers the versatility of the Avalanche. I would argue the Avalanche has just as much people carrying capability as the Tahoe (unless you have two little kids to put in the back of the Tahoe) and it can haul a lot more stuff.

Wow, looks very nice! I saw one in white at my dealer that also looked pretty good.

2007 SRX Changes
Hmm, the stack reminds me of the BLS. The door panels (what little you can see) look much improved, but I'm not sure the stack is really much better. It might be okay in person, but in the pic the radio and HVAC controls look really crammed in.

IF you had to drive none GM....
I don't like to name brands because no one brand is really that appealing to me, so, in no particular order... Infiniti G35 Coupe MazdaSpeed6 Ford Mustang GT Charger RT Caliber SRT4 if it gets a better interior Lancer Evo Impreza STi Legacy GT Honda S2000 EDIT: I didn't realize this before, but none are FWD.

Being No. 1 no longer a top priority for GM
Of course being #1 is the TOP priority. The top priority for any company is staying afloat and being profitable.

I'm working on one...

Camaro at G10
It does appear the wheel well gap has increased, but if that's how the production vehicle sits I won't have any complaints. I'm happy that it doesn't look huge driving around like the Challenger does. I was worried it might look big on the road but it doesn't.

TCC: HUMMER Considering More Models
Yeah, I remember that, but that doesn't mean they're going to produce it.

TCC: HUMMER Considering More Models
The H4 is indeed back on, but since when was Ford planning a Bronco?

NG STS proposal
This is simply an idea I got from the Audi A7 spyshots (CLS fighter) and is not based on any information about the NG STS itself. This is simply a proposal I would make if I worked within GM. Anyways... Why not make the STS a CLS/A7 "4-door coupe" type vehicle? The next CTS is growing and moving upscale, which would tell me that with a mid-level (non V-Series) V8, it would be a formidable 5-Series and E-Class, etc., competitor. Now, that is the market segment the current STS competes in, and I don't see a need for Cadillac to compete with two cars in one market segment. The BLS will be coming to fill the lower-end of the market that the CTS will be leaving, but that doesn't really matter. With the ULS coming to compete against the S-Class, et al, I don't see any need for the CTS, STS, and ULS crammed into three market segments when really only two vehicles are needed. So, why not move the STS more upscale and transform it into a CLS competitor? It seems to me the NG STS will only cannibalize sales from the CTS and ULS, so why not give it its own niche and bring in some new buyers to Cadillac? What does everyone think?

Gas mileage you get
About 14MPG give or take a few .x's depending on the tank. My best ever was 15.1MPG and my worst was like 13.4MPG I think, and that's all city driving. I wish it was better, but what can you except out of probably 320RWHP?

....
Wow, it looks really good in that almost head-on angle! And like the other pic, it would look better in black.
