Genesis Plans On Performance Models, But Isn't Sure Which Model Should Be First

The U.S. military asked for a new tactical vehicle that could run silent for what the military calls silent drive and watch, technologies to make it very hard to detect. Enter GM Defense LLC that took the Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD ZR2 truck with GM's 2.8L Duramax turbo-diesel engine, add a 12 module battery pack, electric motors front and rear for awd and a total armored exterior allowing GM Defense to meet the requirements of a Silent drive and watch tactical vehicle prototype for the 21st century. GM Defense ensured the vehicle would have a stealthy ingress and egress for success in high threat zones, delivering onboard power to support high-energy-demand sensors, shooters and a Soldier kit. A "Next Gen" tactical vehicle that delivers: active and passive safety features Including roll-over protection anti-lock braking electronic stability control four and five point seat belt harnesses 360-degree camera capabilities in HD This "Next Gen" tactical vehicle was designed to support using existing sustainment benefits: Fuel Demand Reduction Existing JP8 fuel infrastructure Lower maintenance from reduced parts, subsystems in the propulsion system This vehicle can be ordered in two, four, and six seat configurations allowing it to support multi-mission capabilities including command and control, launch efforts, network extensions, counter unmanned aerial systems, casualty evacuation and other critical mission needs.

I get a headache just thinking of all the cars he has, is having worked on, flips, etc.  I hope he keeps spreadsheets, or similar, to track the ins and outs. This system intuitively sounds bad, and it need not even be a northerly latitude.  Moisture and anything trunk related spell trouble.  Leaky landaus brought on by rust admitted water to the trunks of colonnades, for one. The car isn't as bad looking from the rear, and that includes the general greenhouse.  However, the front is ghastly.  It's yet another example of where Pontiac steered too haphazardly with their random overstyling, and I think the '04 to '08 GP were similarly less than they could have been based on their front clips.
