Hey, guys. Just wanted to share these renderings of the GMX-353 aka 2010 LaCrosse.

Clicky

Looks very, very good.

 

Yea.

I got threatened with a law-suit from Robert Gragg. I bet you don't know who he is do ya Brian Dreggors?

Somebody call Securitas!

 

There aren't any legality issues with those illustrations as they are sitting on autodeadline for anyone to see:

You and I both know Josh wasn't giving legal advice.

Its like the GMI/C&G split all over again.

 

Oh why oh why do GM release these details so early... to give its rivals an upstart?

Having made the point, those images look breath taking.

 

Wow, very nice. 2010 is a two model years away, I don't think GM will like these picks being out there.

 

I'm really growing tired of the "War of the Websites" being waged on CZ28.com.....

 

Wow, that's truly great looking!

Looks like CGI though - I wonder how it'll translate to the real world?

I've been preaching on this one hard for a couple years now at least... GM's weakest area of their newer interior designs has been a lack of integration. Their components were too modular and squared off with a 'stick a generic parts bin HVAC and radio in this hole' sort of look to them.

These new designs most certainly seem to have that fixed. That one area right there, at least based on that shot, looks better than anything else on the market today in that class. Granted, we still apparently have 2 more years for the competition to adjust and catch up...

 

Yes, even with the quality increase that still screams "I'm corporate parts bin." You can get away with it on trucks and things which are mostly straight lines.

On a car like the new Malibu which made a valiant effort at some curves, the blocky center unit ruins it all.

 

Surely Josh has a 5th gen Camaro dart board to go throw at

I wonder what other cars might share a similar layout in 24-months??

and

I wonder if this is 5th gen stuff!??

I sure hope they don't take the 5th Gen's guages the way of the Mustang's. Retro font guages went away because they were too hard to read at a glance. Leave them in the past.
