  1. The omission of nav in this car is glaring, to say the least. The other two quibbles have no merit, though they could just as easily offer those options.
  2. Adam West, your car is ready.
  3. When I was 13 or so, I saw a flower car based off a '95 Cirrus. I thought I was seeing things.
  4. Metallica lost my respect with the whole Napster ordeal, but this proves that they deserve no respect in the first place. Overrated band. Lars isn't a great drummer like everyone seems to think.
  5. It was plood. I wanted to see the metallic trim, but to no avail.
  6. The Aura has a very spacious interior from all outboard positions. The front seatbacks are deeply scalloped for maximum kneeroom. The only gripe in this area is the front door armrest, which continues past the the door opening. While it looks smooth and integrated when the doors closed, a larger guy will likely jab themself on the corner in the love handle area when exiting. I saw this happen at the GM car show yesterday.
  7. Sorry, no pics. I have one of those stupid Creative cams that they give away with MDG computers. It's slow and I don't use it often. It was full of pics and I didn't have time to figure out how to take them all off. There was no other versions of the 900's there. I was disappointed to see a lack of Sierras. To add to the first post, the seats had soft light gray leather and were very comfy. The centre console appeared to have lots of room. I didn't sit in the back row though, but I wish I had. The metal accents inside sure do a lot to add distinction to the trucky dash. Mich nicer than the silver paint in the F150.
  8. It looks better in person, but it was my least favourite configuration. More opinion: http://www.cheersandgears.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=11180 ://http://www.cheersandgears.com/forum...howtopic=11180
  9. Again, at the Show n' Shine, I came across a brand-spankin-new AURA XR in beige with the Moroccan Brown interior. While the colour is bland, the Opel styling influence makes this car look more expensive than it is. The chrome detailing in the taillights is especially nice. While the wrapper will get it noticed, the interior will sell this car. The leather is absolutely delectable. I'd eat it if I could. While the radio and steering wheel are the same old song n' dance, the materials are easily the nicest in any car GM has ever sold at this price point. The gauges look really cool, and the rear seats are really roomy. I don't think I've ever seen front seats with such big indents for knee room before. Don't worry, they're really comfortable and well bolstered. If this car is a sign, then the sign points to more class-leading products from GM in the future.
  10. At the GM show n' shine, they had a crew cab Silverado, grey exterior with grey two tone leather interior. The exterior was my least favourite configuration with its short short bed, smaller wheels, and full chrome front end. It's the interior that tells the story. Believe it or not, while the plastics in the Tahoe's interior are acceptable, the LT actually had more soft touch. It's a very classy evolution of GM's past themes in their fullsizers. I can say with a straight face that I like the "work truck" dash better.
  11. Yeah, they expanded the show this year to all things GM. There was a '82 Cimarron haha. They had a bunch of new product there. The Silverado, Aura and Sky Redline being the most notable. Cameras are stupid, so I took no pics. As for the Camaro Concept, it was the mockup. But I do say this: anyone who thinks the Camaro will look dated by the time it hits showrooms has to be out of their mind. The stance is so fresh that I don't see anything coming close to it in the next few years.
  12. Just noticed...for 4th place, you have the wrong picture for AR05. That Eleganza was by Intimidator if I'm not mistaken.
  13. At the Glendale Powertrain plant here in St. Catharines, the annual Camaro show is happening today. I missed the opportunity to go to the Autoshow this year, so it makes me extra happy to see that the concept will be there. I'm thinking it will be the red roller though, but that will be good anyway. There will be Firebirds and Vettes there also. I'll try to get some pics...
  14. Thanks for the votes and the worthy competition guys. I look forward to competing in future contests.
  15. GM needs division-specific switchgear. Once they get their heads above (or at least close to) water financially, hopefully they invest in this area. It would go a long way in reinforcing brand identity.
  16. Looks ready for a Chevy grille.
  17. Sweet news! This means if I lease a Cobalt SS in a year and a half (waiting on my 25th b-day for the insurance break), I'll be ready for a new Z/28 when the term is up.
  18. Congrats to Nissan for finally figuring out how to put the Armada together.
  19. "Y'all are so wack." "Wiggity wack?" "No, just regular type."
  20. C.H.U.D.

    terraza,

    Which is a great call considering they still sell great. Canadians love cheap cars, and these are about as cheap as you can get 'em in the minivan class up here.
  21. Proportionally, its off. But the details are probably close. Nice work, Crispey.
  22. Yeah...I thought they were reducung fleet sales.
  23. oops I meant 3 (I had 5 originally if you want to count that instead). 4 1 13 (based on looks alone. Still a Riv to me...)
  24. "It's long been my dream to sleep with Sigmund Freud's father...mother!"
  25. It should say "Frigidaire" on the side.
