For $1000 it would be worth it to buy it and drive it, but not at this outlandish price. This is NOT an investment vehicle. What a joke.

Yup that sure is the traditional diesel back makeup it leaves. Smart job on hiding this one. I hope GM has a projectlike this going on. It would so be radical for them to have a 4.8l duramax being tested.

This so totally makes sense. Especially with alternative energy, they need to spread the cost around and make sure they are ready for changes to what fuel powers these engines.

This is a smart pricing strategy, it will serve them well as they rebuild to eventually claim the standard of the world. I am very happy to see this and love the turbo with AWD option. The whole engine line up is awesome.

OK, I saw today 5 different Fiat 500's on the road in Seattle all different colors and all wearing Dealer plates. Wonder is this the only way they can get those cars on the roads for people to see them? Have yet to see one that actually has a normal washington license plate.

Take them to Dairy Queen and fill them up on sugar and caffeine and return them to their parents. Then let them burn off the overload while you get a good night sleep

No offense taken, I am feeling too good and considering opening another bottle of wine. You have an awesome weekend.

Europe will not close much overcapacity without long painful strikes and some economic unrest. Some more automakers may have to go into liquidation for the European car market to right-size itself. I agree, I expect the next 2-5 years to be very painfull in Europe and if the European Union survives then we will see some real growth out of this area. The socialist system will either take total control and destroy competition to keep things status quo or we will finally see a merging and radical change to allow true growth and reduction of debt. The world cannot continue at this pace of debt and survive.

Knightfan you can roll your eyes at me any time you want, but with a bottle of wine in me and an end to a very intense work week, I will always smile and take it to the bank.

So GM has expanded their CNG fleet. You can now get Vans that average 16mpg and are good for 250 miles on a fill up. 16,000 of these vans were delivered last year to people. http://gas2.org/2011/02/10/gm-is-getting-serious-about-cng-fleet-vehicles/ Prety amazing to see that GM has 17 alternative fuel vehicles and 5 hybrid versions. http://www.media.gm.com/content/media/us/en/news/news_detail.brand_gm.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2010/May/0518_fco_cng I think those of us that get in on this will end up being where the rest will be in the next 5 to 10 years.

WOW, so sad to hear this about the cute little cobalt

Man I hate to say it, but is it really worth the time or is it better to just trade it in and get something better built?

The dealer should take a hint that people want comfort, new fresh place to visit with nodes to the historical past. They want to know they are buying a product that has a rich history and is here to last. GM can so build modern places that are comfy to visit, showing their rich history and inovation and let the customer know they are here for the long haul.

WOW Freakin amazing!!! Why would you buy such a beauty and not drive it. This is a freakin awesome car.

Yet even you my dear Balthazar cannot deny the facination we all hold for this little baby. Thank god this week is over, the wine is flowing and damn do I feel good!!!

While I agree with all that is said, lets wait till we see the proof in the pudding as GM has teased enough times, AKA cried wolf that until the actual product is here available for sale, we cannot totally rely on their word.

Turbojett, I think this is getting close to being a supercharger, I wonder just how much difference it will truly be. Electric driven versus belt driven?

http://www.scuderigroup.com/ So I have to say this engine technology is cool and I wonder when we will see it in auto's. I know this engine technology has been mentioned in other threads. Thought I would start a thread dedicated to the Scuderi Engine. Cool updated demo's with new updat PDF files to read. What do you think? Will we see a Scuderi in the future at GM, Ford or some other Auto company?

Awesome review update. Thanks for posting.
