Do you LIKE the new Enclave?
I love the styling..it's a nice change from all the squarish SUVs GM has been doing....nice to see some surface development on the sides instead of the usual slab sides..and the interior is great. Pricing seems competitive with the MDX and RX...

new Chrysler van interiors
Well, there is at least a 10-15k price difference between a loaded T&C and a base Caravan, so I would expect a nicer interior in the T&C.

My 2008 Accord Impressions
Looks good...I like that berry red color...I esp. like the interior.... price seems reasonable also (plenty of equipment for the price).

Malibu interior in black
It's a Chevy..not supposed to be upscale...

Pontiac G6 GXP a real Halo car...
Lame nonsense.

Toyota takes a swipe at GM's E-Flex
True..until a product has shipped and is at the dealer where a consumer can buy it, it's just development talk...who knows what is really going on within GM, they may be on to something big, or it may just be smoke and mirrors.

Spare Tire Is History!
I'm glad my Jeep has a full size spare in the trunk floor. I've changed flats myself a couple of times (at home), other times had to call AAA (the lug nuts were on so tight I couldn't get them off with the lousy tiny factory lug wrench).

What's in a name?
There is also the Taurus X.

FRANKFURT: Honda Accord Tourer and i-DTEC Clean Diesel Engine
Definitely...the greenhouse reminds me of the current 6 and the front fenders remind me of the new 6. The rear is almost Audi-like in profile, better than the current Euro Accord which has a flat, nearly completely vertical rear..

FRANKFURT: Honda Accord Tourer and i-DTEC Clean Diesel Engine
Yes, the front of the next gen TSX will probably resemble this...
-
FRANKFURT: Honda Accord Tourer and i-DTEC Clean Diesel Engine
The front overhang doesn't look bad, better than some of GMs...it's a pretty slick looking wagon, kind of Mazdaish.

TOYOTA - TOO MANY MODELS
Agreed...it seems reg is bored and trying to stir up trouble. It's a pointless argument, since given their worldwide success, Toyota is obviously doing many things right... the same argument of many overlapping models could be easily leveled at GM...it's not as bad as it used to be when C-P-O-B had a lookalike generic model of almost every FWD platform, but the various brands still have some overlap.

Lutz Confirms: More Models for Buick!
The Lucerne isn't bad, but the LaCrosse is just another dull GM rental car and has warmed over Taurus styling.
-
Lutz Confirms: More Models for Buick!
Yes...the mainstream family sedan is the biggest market segment..something like 2 million cars a year....Camry, Accord, Fusion, Malibu, etc.. Never underestimate how many people are content with vanilla.

I can't tell if you are being facetious or delusional.

Lutz Confirms: More Models for Buick!
Hmmm...interesting. A blending of parts of Theta and Epsilon, I presume?
-
Lutz Confirms: More Models for Buick!
'TE' ?
-
Lutz Confirms: More Models for Buick!
So after going from 7 models to 3 in about 3 years they are doing better...hmm.

Hyundai dubs Buick, Cadillac, Saturn "so-called 'American'"
I can't see any scenario that would result in my buying a Hyundai or Kia. Possibly a Honda, Acura or Infiniti, but other current Asian, not too likely. The complexity and reliability issues make German cars less likely for me to buy again...I love BMWs for their driving feel, but the price/complexity/reliability factors are getting hard to justify to myself. I'm thinking GM or Ford for my next purchase, possibility another Jeep...

Hyundai dubs Buick, Cadillac, Saturn "so-called 'American'"
I couldn't imagine someone 'proud' to own a Hyundai, unless they moved up from a Kia or old Yugo.

2008 Lamborghini Reventón
Mmmmmm....pointy.

FIRST GLIMPSE! 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
I could see a Saab 9-7x replacement coming from this platform...a Cadillac SRX replacement, maybe, but less probable given the FWD origin of the platform.

Puzzling Lyrics circa 1977
Yeah, my birthday is right smack in the middle of the year, so the first half of the year, I was 6...

Shocking!
