But it has a pic of my kids with the article, so I'm posting it anyway!

Hey, that is really cool Swivelhips . Excellent write up, very well done. Even got the young-uns setting up the scopes . I bet they were extremely excited getting their pictures and names in the article.

Thanks, Wayne, yes they thought it was pretty cool. When it was published, the shot was 3/4-page, I think that's the most space given to a photo for the people's test drive, so that was very cool. I envisioned the shot and my wife did the actual photography.

Wow that's pretty cool Wayne! That's a great picture for the review, but it would have been even better if it was in a review of the new M45x or the EX.

Kudos on the fine article, Wayne.....Sounds like you were duly impressed with the Aura.....(with only a few reservations)...
I'll bet it's a great ride.

Children Ian and Emma look like fine young'uns....you must be very proud...

Thanks for sharing your article and experiences with us.

Colin.

I'll bet they'd tell you differently. I was sick and crabby as HELL that day, but it was the last day and I wanted 1. them to be in the photo and 2. my wife to get the photo credit, so I loaded everyone up, and made them freeze their butts off while I barked at them like a cranky old film director. But they really liked the car. They like the G just as much.

Fiercely so, Colin. They are amazing, bright, beautiful kids. Had I been given free rein to make them any way I wanted, I wouldn't have done half so well.

I had originally pitched doing a Saturn Sky, but that wasn't to be. They did a G35x not long after, I wish I could have done that one! I'd certainly do it again if they call me.

Did you actually get to drive the Aura Wayne? If so, what were your impressions? I've seen a few on the road and I find them to be a very nice looking Sedan. I've peeked in the windows of one as well and the interior seems to be very nice also.

And I am glad those assh@t comments were deleted in this thread. Maybe it's just me, but I am seriously losing patience with the jackasses on this forum lately!

Awww man I'm glad I missed that, should kick those DICKWEEDS off the site. As I told you a few days ago Shane, these a$$wipes are ruining a great site .
EDIT: I just learned a new word (in bold above) today, so I was compelled to use it.

I had it for a week, Shane, so I drove it a lot, probably 1000km. I really liked the car, and would have considered buying one if it were AWD. Same car as the new Malibu, btw. Most of what Greg put in the article was my input, he used almost everything I wrote in one form or another.

As for the pruned comments, it was a misplaced attempt at humour and we worked it out, so no hard feelings.

LMAO, Wayne, I'm glad I could make such a cultured contribution to your already-lavish vocabulary.

Thanks, Deane, I had posted parts of it before, but having found the article, with pictures, in its entirety, I wanted to share that.
