GM @ SEMA - 28 customized vehicles
True. Well GM is trying to keep the brands "seperate". I the HHR turbo was already released in the heritage motor show, that is why I do not think it is a new announcement, unless it is said to be new for tuner folks.

Chevy will make a couple of sport compact production announcements on Monday, Oct. 29, that will surely please the tuner crowd. G5 is not a Chevy

Malibu will 'take over' the digital world on Oct. 17th
Well if that is the theory then Honda, Toyota will be the first to discontinue the navigation system, because they are the ones who follow Keizen, and when they see Diminishing returns they will axe all their navigation models if they think they will be on point of diminishing returns. Considering, a. All platforms of GM are/ will be worldwide, there will be always need for some ammenity/ equipment in one market compared to the other. Let us say for example 6-speed manual in a Epsilon. This is certainly going to be a possibility in European bound sedans. So the development money is going to be put forth, what is needed is minor retooling while manufacturing for USDA. b. Take a look at Honda, they have one 6-speed manual transmission which they put in every darn car they have. I am sure if GM does that, it will at the most need two good 6-speeds. One for low performance vehicles, other for higher performance. As a matter of fact they can just make the Hi-po transmission "heavy duty". How much will that be for development and design, considering the expertise they have to simulate the real world conditions in modeling, I do not foresee any serious development dollars going in the manual transmissions. Or heck, give it to Tremec, Aisin or Getrag and ask them to meet the specs and let there be a "healthy competition". c. Again Navigation. They put Navigation in the TrailBlazer..... I am sure Trailblazer was not tooled for that considering it has the 1990s corporate radio system. They cannot do that in the Malibu? Wonder how many of those navigation Trailblazer did they sell. I am seeing more and more cars with navigation systems. And many prefer in dash compared to the Garmins or Tom Toms. I am sure they can sell more Malibus equipped with navigation than the Trailblazers.

Malibu will 'take over' the digital world on Oct. 17th
Good one. I have always argued with that GM psychology of only 5% buyers buy stick or only 5% buyers buy Nav, or only 2% buyers buy bigger engine in Single Cab configuration, or 0.5% buy car with Chapsticks. The fact is that if you start adding those small numbers it accounts for 100,000-200,000 customers. The worst thing is people go to other car companies because they give them that ammenity. Only Toyota offers 6 speed with a V-6 on its Tacoma, heck GM does not even offer a 5-speed on its 5 cylinders GMT 360s. No 6 speed on the Kappas. No manual transmission on the Malibu. The devil is in the details, if GM ignores these details then they are losing some amount of marketshare in those. And at the end of the day it is the customer who should get what he wants. Telling him you are dumb for buying the navigation system or manual transmission car and we are smart to not provide it will only drive him away. Those people who buy navigation system might be dumb, but they still would have been GM customers and we are losing them.

Almost 10 year old concept
Firepower, MEIV12 were very good concepts. I hope they can now build them, since the German Dungeon Mistresses are not ruling them.

Tundra Tailgates Tearing Apart
Let the owner do that. Imagine CMG drowned to the waist inside the ripped tailgate of a pickup truck, like going inside the quicksand. Only difference is that it is metal.

Can Y'all Say Savannah, GA?
Where are you looking into, Georgetown or Savage Island (More likely place for you )? I know the city pretty well. Savannah is 3.5 hours for me, pay me the fuel and toll prices, and I will see it.
