We don’t know, hence the speculation. GM has never said anything official regarding a mid engine sports car at all. However, there is too much evidence that one is happening. There have been far too many test mules with seen that have proportions that indicate a mid engine placement. The public factory tours have also…

Those estimates seem high. Even discounting the 14,000 engine estimate for the 6.2L, 12,000 units that will only see use in the mid engine application seems really high since we are talking upper level Corvette/Cadillac prices for these cars.
The Demon has 840 HP on 100 octane fuel. On 91 octane fuel it is closer to 800. However, that engine was designed for a car that was designed for quarter mile racing. The Corvette will be designed to run longer at high loads rather than in quick bursts.
You do realize that you just said that you don’t want the design of the car to be functional... Consider for once that the early production C7 Z06 models had overheating issues, and now consider that this motor is even more powerful and over the top. If the base model design is used on this car then it would have all…
Considering that the Challenger starts at $26,995 and the Demon starts at $83,395 you could make the same argument that you are paying $56,400 for the Demon package. However, it sold out almost before ordering even opened up.
Don’t forget the cost of compliance and certification as well. I don’t know if a sub model like this would have to redo crash testing, but it would certainly have to redo fuel economy and emissions testing and certification. And this would have to be redone for each transmission.
Actually in south Korea everyone has an ID card that must be used when signing up for online games. There is also a curfew for minors that is enforced using this national id.
I wonder why the wagon will not be getting the V6 option... I guess my opinion does doesn’t matter because I was my wife wasn’t in the market for a wagon when we bought our Acadia this past summer.
The comparison is that a fully optioned AWD Buick wagon is $42,000 while the based model AWD BMW wagon is $44,450.
The Avista seems to be a spiritual successor to the GN, but it would be hard to place in the lineup between the Camaro SS and the ATS-V.
Maybe the engineers were more focused on performance than spare tires... Is it also the designers fault that almost no tire stores stock replacement tires and that they gave to be shipped in from the warehouse? Base models of my car have spares, but they don’t have the same constraints with staggered tires izes and…
Perhaps have it integrated into the dash like nearly every other automaker seems to do without issue.
It’s not that cut and paste. Should MOST cars have some kind of spare? Yes, however there are some exceptions to the rule. My Camaro ZL1 has staggered tire sizes which means that you match either the front or rear with the spare but not both. This would then require driving without any kind of traction control if you…
800 miles in a day is very doable, but it is a very long day.
It’s called a certified supplier. You test everything from a new supplier or a finicky supplier (usually used when supplies are limited), however when a supplier has proven themselves you can sort of fast track them through the receiving side of QA/QC. Even if you did test material from the certified supplier it will…
The reports shows the Chevrolet Equinox LT as Moderate Demand, the Chevrolet Traverse LT as High Demand, and the GMC Yukon SLT as very high demand. If I am not mistaken, all of these are based on the same system.
Drool. I know that many say that Gran Turismo led to the desirability of EVOs, STIs, GT-Rs, etc in the US, but for me it was always the NSX.
If the interest is low enough you can theoretically finances and come out ahead because that cash in hand could be utilized to be turned into more cash at a faster rate than the interest on the car loan.
I don’t see why not. Considering the high costs of such items and the fact that many of the OEMS for these devices probably have exclusive contracts with the government. If someone is willing to pay the high costs and there is a way to acquire one, why not?
