Hmmm...I can't recall if I've seen one either. The most common colors of 2nd gen models I've seen here are silver, dark gray, and gold. Once in a while a silver blue one, silver green or dark red, but rarely. I would think I would see white ones here, since white seems to be the most common car color in the desert (reflects heat?).

Oasis- Dig Out Your Soul

Flood (as in the album Texas Flood)

If they don't go after the import buyers, they are giving up a pretty large chunk of the new car market.....

Cold climate testing... I assume those connectors on front of the prototype are for hooking up sensors or something

Guns N Roses- Chinese Democracy

I bought a new set of aggro Goodyears for my Jeep about a year ago, and they were great last winter. This winter so far, though, in Phoenix, I haven't had to put it in 4WD or drive thru snow yet.

A future of happy, shiny people in white Priuses, clear blue skies, rainbows, green fields, sunshine and happiness. It will be blissful.

Well, the '10 LaCrosse is primarily a Buick China design isn't it? So it is Asian in orgin...

It was... changes ever few years...

Meh...NA$CAR is to motorsport what the WWE is to wrestling, IMHO.....a bunch of shapeless colorful blobs going around in circles, with technology that doesn't remotely resemble production cars or engines..

And during the Smith era, one thing that really hurt them was mediocre product. Far too many square, look-alike generic FWD models (X-,J-,A-,N-, etc) throughout the '80s and into the '90s (when they became rounded, generic FWD models).

I've had a couple Cobalt rentals in the last year and thought they were fine...decent little car. Much nicer than the last Cavalier rental ('03 I think) I drove.

Only 3 SAAB dealers here in the Metro Phoenix area, pretty small for an area w/ over 4 million people. Then again, SAAB has historically had a stronger following in the NE than elsewhere.

Whoa..that is some trippy sh*t...WTF is it???

eccos (Danish shoe brand that I like)

I remember something that happened in the '80s, about the time the first S10 came out, GM had a stockpile of unsold LUV pickups...I think they ended up crushing them..

Well, the Cruze will be the bread-and-butter mass market compact while the Astra will be a bit upmarket from it, different styling, more bodystyles and content, I presume.

Front end looks like the Traverse...lots of plastic

I had a neat little minature tree a few years ago---it was internally lighted--blue and silver instead of green. Kind of neat, it would flash on and off in a pattern.

Saw two 60s Pontiacs on the way to work today--a plum/white '66 Catalina and a white '69 Catalina, both 4dr hts w/o hubcaps (black steel wheels). The '66 was very clean, looks like a resto in progress (missing some side trim), the '69, a bit tattered.

I wonder what the record is for time between posts on threads (i.e. when they went dormant and when they were revived).
