The 2007 Saturn Outlook arrived on the crossover scene in a big way! With seating for eight or room for 116.9 cubic of stuff, this Lambda platformed crossover will perform nearly every task a typical family would ask of a Chevrolet Suburban or GMC Yukon XL and get better fuel mileage doing it.
We proved the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee was a capable runner when we took this paticular example romping through a gravel pit.
Back at the 2003 NAIAS, Cadillac teased us with a super-lux sedan powered by the V16 shown nestled into the Cadillac Sixteen Concept engine bay above. Call us old fashioned, but nothing declares Standard of the World better than 16 cylinders smoothly churning away under the graceful arc of a long Made in America hood.
The 2007 Cadillac Escalade has seating for eight, an exhaust note that betters a Corvette, and a 403-hp 6.2L V8. That spells not too shabby in our book!
The 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara X-Sport was a charming little trucklet. It was a strong contender of the small SUV segment and had a genuine rear-wheel drive based 4-wheel drive system to boot!
The Mercury Messenger Concept descends from the ceiling of COBO Arena at the 2003 NAIAS. Does it bring news of a revitalized Mercury? Not yet…
Santa Claus left us a nice present under the tree! But he also failed to realize that a 2006 Chevrolet Corvette on summer tires delivered in late December makes for a slippery, and sometimes scary, test of GM’s amazing StabiliTrak.
These Lotus Elise triplets showed up at the 2005 Kettering University Firebird’s Car Show and caused quite a stir!
Ford sets the stage for what would become the next great phase of the pony car and horsepower war with the introduction of a retro Mustang concept at the 2003 NAIAS.
The Dodge Slingshot Concept on display at the 2005 NAIAS was a sporty little coupe targeted towards a younger crowd on the lower end of the income spectrum. The styling is sharp but its 3-cylinder engine was only good for 100-hp and 10-second dash to 60 mph.
