and I don't see anything wrong with that. I like most of the sedans that GM puts out. I think the Alero, the Intrigue, the Catera, and the new Aurora look pretty sweet. Body styles must change or they will just get passed up. Face it, the C900 body style was different and great in its time, but in today's market it would only appeal to the C900 faithful. Looks are subjective and when a style changes from one thing to another as with this unconfirmed photo, People knees jerk. I would've like to seen this board when the new NG900 came out to see what people thought of the new style....probably the same. People are getting bent out of shape over a spy photo. You can't tell what a new car looks like until you see every model at a car lot. Here's proof: I liked the new Chevy Malibu when there were just spy photos...having seen it in person the car just didn't do it for me.
If you think Ford didn't change Volvo's styling, you'd better look again. Does the new S80, S60, or S40 look like any Volvo they made 5 years ago. They didn't call them bricks for nothing. Are they calling them bricks now?
Mercedes on the other hand, should take a look at the Dodge intrepid. Dodge/Chrysler make some of the best looking cars on the market.
