They had to change the interior to have the one cupholder - the euro version has none. Expect the next gen to have more.

tnx. Perdue makes chicken, Purdue makes graduates, and I make, well, whatever I decide to make. lol

Um... duh? At least there is something in there, I wouldn't have been that surprised if it hadn't had. It's a concept. I think the flack you took was more from your generally pessimistic attitude about whether/when the real thing would come about.

looks pretty good to me.

I would guess that the 'chops were the first photos released to the press, and that we'll see some actual show photos later on.

Should be pretty good... if you can get one for fifty cents, I'll give you a dollar for it! Double your money!!

no front shot?

What part of "race concept" did you misunderstand? Daily life has nothing to do with it...

Put some better looking wheels on it, and

+1, the regular 'burban front end looks terrific.

Well, for one, you don't have to plug it in - the on board generator can do the charging. Of course that misses out on a lot of the advantage of the car. If the vehicle (and/or other plug-in vehicles) become popular enough, perhaps metered outlets can be installed for public use? That way every spot has an outlet...

GM @ SEMA: Chevrolet Tahoe Street Tuner with DUB D22 Wheels
PurdueGuy replied to Chris_Doane's topic in S.E.M.A
I pretty much have to agree, though I've seen worse wheels. The overall look is pretty good. -
500hp Ecotec. Very cool.

Nice!

Nice!

I like it, though I'm not sure about the rear wheel flares, I think I prefer without. Still, looks good.

GM @ SEMA: Nascar Chevy Impala SS Car of Tomorrow
PurdueGuy replied to Chris_Doane's topic in S.E.M.A
I couldn't find a snoring smiley, so I'll just say ZZZZZZZZ..... -
I'm a bit underwhelmed. It's well done (aside from questionable seat fabrics), but where all the other concepts are over the top, this one is barely warmed up. It's nice, but not "woweee!"

Understood, as said- it's a term that got packed with emotion during WWII. I'm simply ALSO acknowledging that for those who weren't around during that time, it doesn't hold the same negative connotation. I didn't mean to dismiss the value in understanding what it means to others and be sensitive to that.
-
I expect it started as more of a shorter way of simply saying "Japanese", but with WWII, a lot of negative emotion got packed into the word, and for some it's still there. I agree that it doesn't feel like a word that's meant to hurt feelings, it just feels like a shortened way of saying Japanese.
-
I think the $30k price tag may limit the sales #s, but if that's with a ton of standard features, then it should still sell pretty well. I look forward to seeing not only how this does, but watching prices come down as production goes up and technology ages.

I'd like to share something I'm very proud of...
