    Imagine if you will an older German gentleman in a conservative suit introducing the car. Then imagine him saying "Big is beautiful, but even though it is big, it moves like jagger" in an awkward German accent and then imagine, as soon as he says that, a marching band starts playing and comes up on stage playing "Moves like Jagger" that's how this was introduced.

    There is something else coming that will compete with the SHO.... and by compete, I mean blow it out of the water.

    There is a reason for that. The forum software we use (me guessing here) can only take uploads of 2 MB (per picture). That means I have to resize them to fit. Usually, that means pictures get resized to 1024x768 with the software I use. Sure, the pictures don't always look right, but at least I can get them onto the site. I wished the upload size was larger so I could not resize them as much. But, I'm not sure if there is a solution. Do you have a "preserve aspect ratio" option when you are resizing photos lol ouch

    Most of the body is carbon fiber....they let a little of it show through the paint.

    Added a bunch more pics to the gallery including some of the controversial steering wheel. IMHO, the aesthetic design of the wheel isn't the problem, it's the buttons. They are, I hope, just temporary insets, but they don't have the feel of something that will hold up well over time. I see them as a possible replacement issue.

    Images added to a gallery album owned by Drew Dowdell in Gallery
    The 2014 Chevrolet Impala marked the arrival of the all-new 10th-generation model, built on the sophisticated Epsilon II front-wheel-drive platform and offered in LS, LT, and LTZ trims. Powertrain choices included a 2.5L EcoTec four-cylinder, a 3.6L V6 producing 305 horsepower, and a 2.4L four-cylinder Hybrid eAssist, all paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The redesign represented a dramatic step up in interior quality, exterior styling, and driving refinement compared to its predecessor, positioning the Impala as a genuine competitor to near-luxury full-size sedans.

  21. New York 2012: 2013 Buick Enclave: Comments

    Drew Dowdell replied to William Maley's topic in New York International Auto Show (NYIAS)
    The interior feels even richer than the already nice feeling original. The tail lights and headlights simply can't be cause properly on camera and have to be seen in person to appreciate. The gallery has been updated with pictures from the floor.

    This gallery presents the refreshed 2013 Buick Enclave as unveiled at the 2012 New York Auto Show, combining official press photos and live show floor photography.
