Re: New Leaked Pictures of 4 new GM Vehicles

Is everyone at GM that stupid? Where is the compact or subcompact. People are looking smaller and more fuel efficient. But GM in all their "wisdom" sees fit to try and stick to 30 MPG highway as if it's what people are looking for.

Their just nuts.

I went by my Chevy dealership (where I used to work) and talked with a few friends who are still trying to sell, while they wait to get other jobs. They all said that everyone is looking for 35+ mpg city. Aveo is outselling everything, including Malibu. People want mileage.

So I dropped by the Honda Dealership. There's a waiting line for the Fit....

Go figure.

Hopefully someone at GM will see the light.

The Aveo is getting a redesign and the beat is coming too. They are just not the latest news.

Re: New Leaked Pictures of 4 new GM Vehicles

I think the Caddy wagon looks VERY nice...cool that the tail lights pay homage to the fins of yore. The Buick very much disappoints me....in advance of its reveal some insiders said we'd be "shocked" by it visually...my only shock is that it carries over none of the awesome design language of either the Velite or the Riviera concepts...both too beautiful for GM to build I guess....like the Lacrosse, Cien, Sixteen, WTCC and other fine looking concepts that wowed the public and the press but never made it to the show room.

These are the same pics we have seen before. However the pic quality is much better although they still are small.

That Caddy wagon is gorgeous! Definitely my favorite in the group. The Buick still looks too tame to me, but I reserve final judgement for better pics.

Not on board with the Caddy Vue. I have a Vue and as a Saturn it makes sense..but Cadillac? Smacks of a Cimmaron to me. More lipstick and gadgets do not make a Cadillac. At the very least, the fender vents have to go.

These pictures are squished and pixelated. I've seen some of these and they look much better than this. We went through this with the first malibu pictures.

The Caddy wagon looks to me like the 4-door coupe concept carried over into the wagon range. Spectacular.

Of the coupe, the wagon and the sedan, the sedan's looking like the wallflower. And it's a stunner to start with.

The CTS line is gonna be on fire.
