  1. overcooked like the current corvette and camaro. damn. 

    a strip of buttons? a touchscreen that looks like a tablet somebody dropped there?

    it doesnt say corvette when i look at it. at all.

    the recent chevy design language has got to go. all angles and fake vents, no elegance. this design will age quickly and badly like the current camaro.

    they botched it. at a time when they absolutely HAD to hit a home run.

    performance will probably be remarkable, but what does it matter when you look like that.

  2. Falsehoods repeated without research.

    Though Chrysler had chosen rear wheel drive before the merger, hooking up with Mercedes provided existing technologies and parts, including the A580 electronic automatic, and Mercedes stability control, steering, rear suspensions, electronics, and seats; the traction and stabilitycontrol systems, axles, wireharnesses, five speed automatic transmissions, steering columns, and some other components were shared with Mercedes(Wolfgang Bernhard claimed 20% of the Magnum’s components were shared with Mercedes).

    WA580 - NAG1 automatic transmission

    AutoWeek’s Mark Vaughn quoted chief engineer Burke Brown as saying that while Mercedes provided many components, “few parts are straight out the Benz bin.” He cited the front suspension as having a lower roll center and wider track, for example.

    And for that matter, they have gone to great lengths to replace all the MB parts after Daimler got rid of them.

  3. Did you even READ the article? I agree that you cannot easily weld aluminum to steel, so I get that. But they DID go back to the drawing board after finding the trucks NEEDED these extra protective bars. And since the single cab does not have these extra bars, I am curious how it compares to the single cab Dodge, Chevy, and Toyota...
