By the looks of this car I would buy it. I wonder how it drives?

That's just beautiful!!
Absolutely beautiful!!

This is a very, very, nice car. GM would be stupid to kill it here in the U.S.

That would preclude the fact that GM had intelligence in the first place.

Not enough cup holders.

This just makes me sad, knowing the Saturn version has been put on hold.

Nice, but the new Lacrosse and this look too much a like in the interior.

BINGO

Everyone here should boycott GM products until they move that over here. There is no excuse not to have the manual (or the turbo four) in the new Aura.

Transmissions don't have a Euro-specific saftey standard. Bring that over here!

GM is stupid for putting the new Aura on hold.

johnstarnes · 06-27-2008, 02:57 PM

Gorgeous! But I think I will like it even better in black....I sure hope it comes here as a Saturn.

Nice to see a centre rear headrest but that thing looks massive.

Koasterking · 06-27-2008, 05:11 PM

Red aint bad, but I take a nice blue one. The interior is gorgeous, but over the top with buttons. Hopefully, the US version (whenever that come out) will get a nav.

Why did GM put the Aura on hold? What are they smoking for crying out loud. This thing would blow Acura TL/TSX/RL out of the pond
