Hi. -RBB

Look under the "hood"! There's no electric motor!!!1!1one. -RB

Umm.... you might want to read that again: -RBB

It looks fake. I think it's part of a vast conspircacy cleverly constructed by a cabal of international investors to drive down the stock price of GM in hopes of a cheap hostile takeover. Other than that, it looks great! -RBB

FTFY. -RBB

I love the design, but I doubt little (if any) of this will make the production model - there's no way that center IP makes it, and there aren't even any airbags. Josh - have you heard how close to the production model this car is? BTW, in this picture: Is that a start button next to the HVAC controls? The icon there looks like it's echoed in that orance strip above the center vents. What is that? Thanks, -RBB

:( That's better... -RBB

I've got no problem with yellow (see sig). How about this for an ad: "What color is your Sky?" -RBB

A house not too far from mine has one of these parked in front of it: Very nice... -RBB

Well, they do work for chicken feed... -RBB

Yep - I've got a mute button for the stereo on my Mazda6 - very handy feature. On the left side - bottom button: -RBB

BTS? -RBB

That's not what I got out of this: Which is on Epsilon. Which is on Epsilon II, right? I understood it that that Aura's platform would be one generation behind the next Malibu. -RBB

I don't remember any other GM cars with direct injection. Is this a new engine, then? If so, what are the chances this technology makes its way to other GM engine families. I know the VW/Audi 2.0 L turbo four with direct injection is getting rave reviews - some even prefer it to their lesser V6s. That engine makes only 197 HP and 207 lb-ft of torque. I'm assuming the GM engine will be close to the 250 HP we've heard rumored? Sounds quite impressive! -RBB

[ocnblu]I didn't know you were into he/shes....[/ocnblu] :ph34r: Seriously, though, your input and interaction are *very* much appreciated 'round here. Your arguments are reasonable. If you find the source of the link, it'd be interesting to hear what exactly happens to him/her. -RBB

These things can actually be blinged out quite nicely - the Savana/Express vans looks great with dubs: The interiors can be very nice, too, although you have to put up with the old-school GM plastics and panel gaps. Some conversion companies put nice interiors and electronics, some look like 70's limos with Audivox stereos and speakers. Behlmann GMC always rents a ton of space at the St. Louis Auto Show and displays several conversion vans. I remember being quite impressed with this years' offerings. $50+K is a lot of cheddar, though... -RBB

++ I like the Mazda3, though. -RBB

Agreed - it was a rebadge of the Geo Storm: -RBB

Holy front overhang, batman! With an empty bed it's a wonder it didn't tip forward every time you hit the brakes.... -RBB

They weren't sure of production until they got a positive reaction at the auto show, but they can still start production in July? That's either very impressive or they were already planning to produce this anyway.

Sorry, please ignore. Can I delete this post? -RBB
