Pontiac to Kill Vibe AWD and GT after 2006 Model
Year

post from Cars - Blogs.ca on 18 April 2006 06:15:00 PM. © Cars - Blogs.ca

With the new G6 sedan, coupe and retractable hardtop convertible selling well, the G5 (Pursuit) sedan and coupe pulling in younger buyers and Wave a good alternative to buying used, plus the Torrent crossover SUV making new friends where the Aztek turned many potential customers off of the brand entirely, Pontiac is undergoing a metamorphosis, [...]

2007 Nissan Altima -- All New and Much Improved

post from Karl on Cars on 18 April 2006 06:04:23 PM. © Karl on Cars

I couldn't comment on it after first driving the car back on March 7th, because of an embargo, but we posted my First Drive of the 2007 Nissan Altima yesterday afternoon. We're still waiting on final SAE horsepower figures, with current ones showing the 2.4-liter down by 10hp compared to last year. We'll see if that number holds when final figures arrive, but early numbers indicate a 15hp bump (to 265) for the 3.5-liter V6. Yet the two big gains for this car are far more interesting. First, it has a vastly improved interior that can finally shrug off the "cheap" description this car has been saddled with since 2002. Second, it has an all new CVT that actually enhances vehicle performance. I hope they don't change the calibration between the prototypes I drove and the final production models, but the forward "nudge" offered by each upshift was extremely compelling (at least to me). It felt like an old muscle car with a good shift kit. No "banging" or harshness, but a very positive forward thrust. This is particularly impressive for a CVT, and proof that these transmissions may one day replace traditional automatics without simultaneously sucking the life out of every non-manual transmission vehicle.

2007 Dodge Caliber -- It's All New...But Is It
Better

By now we all know that Dodge has bailed on the economy sedan market in favor of the Caliber five-door hatchback. We posted a First Drive several weeks ago, and now we've got one in the parking garage downstairs. I actually got to drive the Caliber a few months ago as well, but it was in Aspen as part of an all-wheel drive press trip, and there was little chance to really try it out under normal (non snowy) conditions. After a trip home and back in the last 24 hours I have a better idea of what works on this car...and what needs work.
