2008 Impala or Malibu, depending on which way GM goes.

It still says its unknown whether its the Impy or Bu-

UPDATE: Several sources have written to TheCarConnection, reporting that this vehicle is the 2008 Chevrolet Malibu. There remains some disagreement over whether the Impala will be replaced in 2008 or 2010; stay tuned for more information as we uncover more about this new GM vehicle.

Oh, and I didn't get my rumors from my friend (engineer). Those where from papers, internet, and talk.

Ok, I've found another picture that gives this car the outlines of a:

Saturn Aura

I guess it may not be an Impala or a bu..

From what I hear too the G5 is supposed to be completely reworked for the 09 year. :smoke:

A RWD 4-cyl economy car? Innnnnnnteresting........

That front end looks like it could find a home on a car, suv and a minivan. Nice looking, nothing better nothing worse.

The interior looks like a worked over G6, I like it. But Car makers need to get away with with multi fin air vents. The G6's are great, easy to keep looking clean. When you got bigger fingers it makes it real tough to clean

Looks pretty classy to me. Not too sporty or aggressive, but pretty tasteful.

The side view looks like the Acura TL.

I still don't like this RWD kick GM is on...honestly, I think it's the fastest way to cornering themselves into a smaller market. RWD is strictly for performance enthusiasts only, and you don't need EVERY Pontiac model to be RWD for that reason. People who want a fast RWD car can buy a GTO or a Solstice, for cryin' out loud.

FWD remains the most popular drivetrain for the average daily driver, and RWD will NEVER be able to get in on that. AWD is the future of regular driving, with RWD remaining exactly where it is now forever.

I'm sorry, but I don't think anything that GM can do will make RWD mainstream. There's too many downsides for someone who's NOT a track-goer.

It looks more like the RL than the TL....

More RWD... :-) I think they should offer a 50/50 mix of RWD vs FWD and make an AWD/4WD option available...

That grille needs a serious makeover. It has TRUCK written all over it

[EmersonHart13]

It looks like a truck grill.

[carsuperfreak]

definitely some aura in the front rille, and maybe a little lucerne in the headlights

[PrimeGTP]

Looks like an Acura TL/RL mixed with the "Hey, look at the total shapelessness of my front end!" feel of a Ford...

[GTPGuy82]

yea I definitely don't like that grill above the bowtie.

I find it funny you guys all say it looks like an Acura TL/RL...all the guys on the leftlanenews discussion are saying it looks like a new Camry it's funny how the mind thinks.
