looks like this.

@Rock517: (noodly solo)

It looks the way it looks because of necessary aerodynamics. The majority of these commenters who "lose interest" over a window treatment or some other styling quirk are missing the point. The volt, GM's extended-range electric vehicle, actually exists. It is not some vaporware or whatever. Also, when you think about…

MOST. JALOPNIK. PAINT JOB. EVER.

May we all channel the power of the beard.

MUST HAVE. I could see the Beastie Boys rolling in this. well, maybe just two of them.

I must have this.

@Garebear: yeah, what's the deal? The C8 used to have this most-epic wheel: [cache.viewimages.com]

i think city utility companies and things which need some kind of van or truck should use the freaking HHR panel van. that would cut down on gas use and give a much needed boost in style, IMO.

i hope the americans get a crack at engineering this, or better yet, suzuki. not GM Daewoo, who does the Aveos and Forenzas.

so are this and the rogue crowding the same segment?

Um, there's no rear visibility. I'd want to see the gaping mouths in my rear-view as I scream past other cars on the highway with 925 furious steeds...

Subaru for making off-beat, different, awesomeness. reasons: the SVX, the old XT6, the BRAT, and obviously the impreza and legacy. note: Jeremy Clarkson thinks that the Outback is "the perfect automobile."

Maryland suburbs would be a Jetta, An explorer, or a Grand Cherokee, probably with some lacrosse or field hockey bumper stickers.

what a fantastic piece of work. a 93 Grand Cherokee limited with the 4 liter straight six was my first car and served my family without fail or any major problems for 14 years. the Bendix-Renault engine diagnostic readout thing had some accuracy problems, but that just made everything more fun.

Needell wins the poetry award for this remark on the apollo's engine: "It's not a howling, beautiful noise, it's just a growling piece of anger right behind you."

P1800 ES, followed by a volvo 242 (turbo) followed by a saab 900 turbo followed by a volvo 780 bertone followed by a 2 stroke saab.

VOLVO all the way. paint it up in deep dark green with some shined up wheels (maybe even some muscle-car style cragar's) and that is one quirky-fabulous cargasm.

ladies and gentlemen, the saturn L-Series.

i like these ads- they have that kind of comical, retro, west side story flavor.
