Mazda RX-8 had the B-pillars in the rear doors, too. However I understand that modern safety regulations are making that more and more difficult to implement. I don’t think GM even offers the rear-opening door on its trucks since 2014, but I could be mistaken.

They’ve been called coach doors for decades.

Also, I wouldn’t buy a Buick. Yes, Buick offers the best-looking vehicles GM’s had in decades. However, I find GM repulsive. Plus their advertising is frustratingly insulting to their perceived target audiences. The Regal still feels dated despite being so “new”. And if I’m buying a European car (it is an Opel in…

It’s perfectly reasonable to cross shop a $25K car and a $30K car. Case in point: My wife upgraded her 2016 CX-5 GT to a 2019 CX-5 Touring a few weeks ago. I was perfectly fine and even encouraged her to go for the Grand Touring (GT), new Grand Touring Reserve, or new Signature trims, each of which is roughly $2-3K…

Haha, no.

I wish the V40 were sold here. The V50 was such a great overall package - despite James May’s inability to stuff it with old furniture - and if Volvo would take the lessons learned from the latest crop of new cars and applied them to a true V40 (wagon, not hatch), it would be very interesting.

Save the wagons indeed!

Oh wow, there is something so soothing and satisfying ablit the red one with white sans serif lettering. I don’t even like red all that much, but goodness does that get to me. Wonder how it would look in green or blue...

Stef will tell you this is a chicken.

At this point, which is worse: The Acura NSX that we saw what it would look like about a decade before it was actually available for purchase, or the Supra, which keeps getting “teased” even though anyone with a shred of imagination knows what the production model will look like?

To quote Mahk, “It’s a Chevy Malibu.”

Are you sure you’re not still on one of the several Silverado HD pages? I’m fairly critical of car design, and - despite my avatar - try to be unbiased when I can. I’m not really seeing much wrong here. In some ways it reminds me of an expensive sports boat where they show the bow breaking through the waves and riding…

All the bodywork looks the same. The teal color is more illuminated along the side and bottom compared to the blue coupe, but the coupe has all the same shapes going on.

Reminds me of Sylvester Stallone’s Judge Dredd when he’s spitting out every word... Not in a good way. Or may Rocky when he’s beaten to a pulp. Also not in a good way.

You’ll have a better experience with the GS (my choice) and the Genesis. I’d avoid the Regal. Also consider a Continental and Volvo S90 even though they are FWD-based (as is the regal).

So, a Super Duty with a chevy emblem?

I’m pretty sure that no one from GM’s design and marketing teams is allowed access to the outside world. The only things they’re allowed to watch are the Michael Bay “Transformers” movies and The Emoji Movie. How else do you explain that he “real people” ads keep coming, and GM’s entire recent design (except Buick,…

BURN ‘ER ANYWAY!

Looks like Sauron’s Mouth from “Return of the King”. But maybe more off-putting.

It looks like more effort than the actual truck’s designers put in.
