it looked like a glorified cavalier/grand am hybrid. it needed more styling cues from '67

the G35 Coupe grew on me, and the 350Z is cool, but all their other cars are UGLY

Yeah, the less sporty stuff is simply hideous, like Altimas and the SUV/crossover thingy.

Definitely
I think the rear wheel drive car to compete with the 300 is a good idea.

that's a big part of it, it looks like a grand am/prix not like a GTO
they would have been better off to keep the 2-door GP, put the Northstar V-8 in it with AWD like they were originally planning...now pontiac is boring (again) (sigh)

there should be more American AWD cars ;)
the Focus they sell in Europe would pwn a lot of cars they sell here
i'm guessing they are worried it would cut into Mustang sales

How do ya'll feel about the Armada's looks?
The '07 Sentra is going to look somewhat like an Infinit G35
yermom
2/24/2006, 04:13 PM
heh, i forgot about the Sentra, they hadn't screwed it up yet
soon though ;)
i don't like direction they went somewhere in 2002 or 2003 with most of their cars
i still like the XTerra though

The Armada and Q56 are a decent foreign option to a Tahoe/Yukon/burb.

If I spent 30K on a vehicle I'd be pretty stoked that I had 30K to spend on a vehicle. And I'd have a Touareg.
