i saw the new GM Trucks on a dealers lot it was the GMC Sierra and boy it looks better than the Silvarado. (IMO)

That really made me laugh. If that were me I would pretty much hang myself.

i watched the brand new owner of a Ford GT lurch forward in our showroom during delivery... he almost did something very similar to that, only he would have flown out the showroom like the Porsche in "Gone in 60 seconds"He found the brakes in time but only after knocking over the brochure stands and hitting the sign that said "do not touch"

blake31 · Post by **blake31** » Thu Nov 16, 2006 11:18 pm

saw a small convoy of 2007 mustangs a couple of days ago. one of them was an orange GT/CS coupe .http://media.ford.com/article_...23078

the Dodge Caliber seems to be gaining populartiy around here. I'm seeing more and more of them.

ToolGuy · Post by **ToolGuy** » Fri Nov 17, 2006 5:04 am

The NEW Jeep Liberty...

NascarXprt · Post by **NascarXprt** » Fri Nov 17, 2006 5:38 am

ive seen a few of the brand new Nissan Sentras.

GrayFox · Post by **GrayFox** » Fri Nov 17, 2006 6:01 am

if you ask me those look too much like an Altima I've seen a few Caliburs running around.

NascarXprt · Post by **NascarXprt** » Fri Nov 17, 2006 6:41 am

yea they look like the Versa and Altima got busy. and thats the result.

ragingfish · Post by **ragingfish** » Fri Nov 17, 2006 1:30 pm

I am definitely a fan of the now former generation of the Sentra...appearance wise...As to what I've spotted. Seen a few SKY's now (seen them since they were hitting lots, but now they're becoming pretty common) and passed multiple G5's today alone.

TRDman · Post by **TRDman** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 5:44 am

The Versa seems to be more balanced than the Sentra, which is a bit too blunt in the back without a hatch.New cars: I have seen a grand total of one Aura. Also: Grand Cherokee SRT-8, some CR-V's, and a RAV4.

savedbyzero · Post by **savedbyzero** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 6:29 am

Saw a few Nitros.

ColonelPanic · Post by **ColonelPanic** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 10:41 am

The top pic of that Sentra looks very odd, like there's just something out of place there. The bottom pic of the rear looks ok, but geez, do we really need MORE factory altezzas? Oh well, keep them coming, then the ricers will get sick of that look and start putting normal looking tail lights on their cars. Stuff I've been seeing, hmm... I keep seeing those Yarissessess (yarii?) sedans... I guess they are selling well... There's a lot of visual trickery going on there, will say that! The first few I saw from the side made me think it was a bigger car, maybe even Camry size... But it's only not even an inch longer than my lil' Accent. That Yaris is just weird all around, particularly inside. I'm not regretting buying a boring alternative in that segment.

cs1992 · Post by **cs1992** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 10:46 pm

Saw a new Hyundai Elantra and Nissan Sentra on the dealer lots last week. Both cars look like a big improvement from their predecessors. The price tag on the Elantra was very reasonable.

ColonelPanic · Post by **ColonelPanic** » Fri Nov 24, 2006 8:28 am

Just checked out the '07 Elantra myself... Wow, what a difference from the old car! I'm impressed. Overall, it looks better to me in real life than it does in pictures. It has some issues in the back, where like the Sentra, it looks like it should have a hatch and not a trunk... The roof line and small, triangular rear quarter windows remind me of the outgoing Elantra GT hatch. The interior is very well done - nice layout, good looking materials and a ton of room. They picked a good spot for the aux input for MP3 players too, it's down in the center console right where you'd put your device, not up on the radio. The most expensive one I saw was an SE for $17,300, not too shabby. Most were the GLS with still a good amount of equipment for $16,000-ish.I did get to have a closer look at the Sentra as well... Still ugh, those tail lights are killing me! The interior looks nice though. The choice in fabric bugged me a bit, it was this net looking stuff like you'd see on a backpack or something. But that's still better than the cheesy 80's style velour I found in the Versa. The specs for HP and torque aren't too shabby on that car.

ragingfish · Post by **ragingfish** » Fri Nov 24, 2006 1:03 pm

New elantra isn't bad...but the rear end REEKS of corolla influence, no?

cs1992 · Post by **cs1992** » Sat Nov 25, 2006 2:53 am

The entire new Elantra reeks of Corolla influence...but is that a bad thing for the price it's being sold? Anyways, I will reserve judgement on the new Elantra and Sentra until some mpg results start to surface. Gas mileage is crucial when I buy a car. (My vibe averages 31 mpg...auto base model)

Someone in my neighborhood has one of the new Saturn Outlooks. Although I leased a Trailblazer, I'm not a big SUV-guy (my wife drove it most of the time), I did really like the looks of this new "cross-over". I'll be interested to see how the reviews are because I really do like Saturn. We've owned an SL2 for many years and currently own a Relay. I was a little hesitant to get the Relay due to the first model year but we've only had 1 real problem that was fixed with a new electrical module of some sort.Anyway, thumbs up for the Outlook.

Damn! I had no idea the outlook even hit showrooms yet...I must make a stop by the local saturn dealer and check it out!

mspalmer · Post by **mspalmer** » Sat Nov 25, 2006 9:25 am

not sure if it is in the showroom or if this guy works for GM/Saturn. Living in SE Michigan we see some models early.

ToolGuy · Post by **ToolGuy** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 11:06 pm

The new Dodge Avenger... Looks like a baby Charger.

michaelgt · Post by **michaelgt** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 11:14 pm

I have seen many of the Outlooks, the GMC Acadia, the Ford Edge, and a crossover that was covered so well (it was dark and driving fast) that I could not tell what it was going to be.

ramenboy... · Post by **ramenboy...** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 2:52 am

ColonelPanic · Post by **ColonelPanic** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 9:38 am

Heh, I saw a Ford Festiva today... I thought those were dead too! And even older, a Dodge Rampage!But in keeping with the new car stuff... About the only things new I've seen lately are the new Altima and Sentra. The Sentra was white, it didn't seem to look as bad as it did in some of those other colors.Oh yeah, and a sinus infection green CRV. Yuck!

NascarXprt · Post by **NascarXprt** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 3:10 pm

i have seen the new Toyota Tundras and the very first one off the assembly line here in SA. also the new Ford Super duty trucks (F-250 and 350)and the Ford:

By baby I just mean it "looks" like a mini Charger.The Challanger is coming though for sure!!!!

ramenboy... · Post by **ramenboy...** » Mon Dec 18, 2006 12:33 am

haha! fesitva?!?!?! you could strap that and the yugo on your feet and go skating with those....ok. middle of ecember in chicago...i followed a lime green (i'm serious) lotus elise for about 10 minutes on the way to work this morning. still had the registration plate on the back. and the guy ahd a smile on his face.

ColonelPanic · Post by **ColonelPanic** » Mon Dec 18, 2006 8:47 am

Saw a new Silverado the other day, pretty spiffy. My dad has been checking them out, but he doesn't want an extended cab and apparently that's all they are making at the moment. And now that I see the pics nascar posted and think about it, I believe I've seen that new super duty Ford out and about a few months ago in cammo... The plant that builds them is in the area so every now and then you'll see 'em out testing stuff. Hey, I wonder if those trucks have a roof that's able to support the weight of the rest of the truck if you flip it over unlike the last ones?

blake31 · Post by **blake31** » Mon Jan 01, 2007 10:44 am

i saw a chrysler 300C wagon a couple of days ago. at first, i thought it was a magnum, but then i spotted the badging, so i parked right next to it to have a look. it had a manufacturer plate on it. are they getting rid of the magnum, or are they going to sell both?also saw a 2007 chrysler sebring on the road.

WaveAction · Post by **WaveAction** » Mon Jan 01, 2007 11:26 am

I've seen all/most of gms new cars since I work at a dealership, the new silverado is very nice, but my favorite would be the new yukons/tahoes

kostby · Post by **kostby** » Mon Jan 01, 2007 1:42 pm

Just saw a Saleen today at the auto show...The price? Mere pocket change for most of us: Just $585,000 out the door.They also had a fine supercharged Saleen Mustang priced around $59,000

ColonelPanic · Post by **ColonelPanic** » Wed Jan 24, 2007 10:20 am

Saw an Edge this morning, orange... It didn't look quite right in that color, it was dirty and I'm not sure if all that chrome really looks good with that color. The chrome wheels especially looked out of place. I'd have to see one up close when it's clean to make a judgement. They sit up a lot higher than I thought they would too, that wasn't really helping the looks of it. *gasp* Might I actually have to suggest that lowering it would probably work wonders? Throw on some different rubber (read: much lower profile!) on some other wheels and it'd be golden. er, "copper."

Whelan · Post by **Whelan** » Thu Feb 15, 2007 4:09 am

I also saw the new Edge, on the road to work in white. Looks like that mini Lincoln SUV a lot. And def. better lookin in person.I have started seeing the new MDX from Acura around more and more, they look so much bigger now.Saw a brand new M5 at the mall, very sweet, the guy driving had his leather gloves on, good call!I saw this Awesome black toyota matrix XR AWD yesterday, looked slick cruising through the snow, oh wait! That was me driving by a reflective window, lol.

Whelan · Post by **Whelan** » Thu Feb 15, 2007 4:42 am

guess i worded that wrong, lol. Same frame different interior materials, pretty much same sheetmetal.

ColonelPanic · Post by **ColonelPanic** » Thu Feb 15, 2007 10:29 am

Saw an Outlook out and about yesterday... Not bad!

VforVIBE · Post by **VforVIBE** » Thu Feb 15, 2007 11:52 am

I got a red Ferrari parked right next to the bakery inside my Publix.

michaelgt · Post by **michaelgt** » Thu Feb 15, 2007 9:19 pm

I see many of the new GM vehicles each day. There are 20-30 new '08 Vues sitting in a parking lot today. Have seen many of the GM HD pickups.

Whelan · Post by **Whelan** » Fri Feb 16, 2007 12:13 am

Saw my first M Theory today!!! I kinda like the spoiler, wonder how much it is. Very subtle looking. Otherwise, it just looks like my Trix except for the wheels and paint. I would have like to have seen a lower or more aggressive lip kit on it personally.Oh and the following spotted:Volvo R (slick)E55 AMGBentley Arnage (in the city)and I should pop this up,Lamborghini Gallardo (at the bar a few months ago)Old Manhattan Cab (in the city two weeks ago)
