The taillgate is definitely an improvement...the current Traverse has such a large, blank rear panel...

As far as the exterior, I don't see a resembalance to the Enclave...it's just the current Traverse w/ a nose job. The side contours are still the same as the current Traverse, which are different than the Enclave..

I don't know...maybe 3000-3200? I had assumed the ATS sedan would be 3500 or more, but if it's 3400 that's good...GM isn't known for lightweight, that's why I'm skeptical..anyway, it's all academic as we have no idea if anything like the 130R will be built...

I've seen a couple 5 GTs...they do look awkward from some angles...hopefully the upcoming 3 GT is better styled..

While they won't interface w/ the car's controls, there are dash mounts for the iPad and other popular tablets now available...

ooo...those are sweet. Haven't seen any of those. That '80s Cutlass must be a new tool, don't recall seeing it before..

It's not a muscle car. The performance numbers from what I've read is comparable to the Miata.

Yeah...they are all more compelling subjects...

Mmmmm...Stuckeys pecan log rolls..those were a staple of family road trips when I was growing up...we would drive back and forth between our houses in Ohio and S. Florida 2-4 times a year, always stopping in the South at Stuckeys..

Then you are SOL..

Why do you think it would be 500lbs heavier? I doubt GM could make a compact RWD model under 3000lbs...I suspect the small Alphas will be more like 3400-3500lbs... What are you calling small? You just named the weight range for the ATS sedan. I was thinking of something the size of the Code 130R, if they did something like that...

Sounds like this is a recipe for a Z-28...surprised they went with the obscure 1LE name. Will be interesting to see how it compares to the Boss 302. This definitely sounds like the Camaro I'd like to drive on twisty back roads...

Well, the i3 and next 1-series (previously referred to here as the 0-series) will be FWD...kind of a step up above Mini...the next X1 may also be FWD/AWD...

Why do you think it would be 500lbs heavier? I doubt GM could make a compact RWD model under 3000lbs...I suspect the small Alphas will be more like 3400-3500lbs...

A V6 would enable them to do some future FWD transverse V6 model, as horrific as that thought is...

Hmmm...motor sport is much more my area of interest, but I do have a bit of interest in stick-n-ball sports. Rivalries that I know of in my recent cities of residence (Denver and Phoenix): Football: Denver Broncos vs Oakland Raiders Denver Broncos vs Kansas City Chiefs Denver Broncos vs AZ Cardinals Baseball: Colorado Rockies vs AZ Diamondbacks Colorado Rockies vs San Diego Padres Hockey: Colorado Avalanche vs Detroit Redwings AZ Coyotes vs ? And for my colleges, the ones that come to mind: Kent State Golden Flashes vs U of Akron Zips U of Michigan Wolverines vs Ohio State Buckeyes

If Chevy did build something like the Code 130R, though, that could potentially compete w/ the BRZ....though it would probably be 500 lbs heavier..

I haven't heard of or seen a Shoney's in decades. I do remember Elby's Big Boy restaurants in Ohio back in the '70s-80s, though.

Interesting...strong Honda or Toyota feel to the front end w/ the horizontal grille lines...odd they would move away from the current Chevy signature grille style..

Maybe, but it's an apples v oranges comparison..this is a much smaller, lighter car...different niche.

Yes..I would expect a production version of the Google autonomious Priuses would have a Android-based tablet interface, for example. Or if Apple teams up w/ a car maker to do an iCar I would expect it to have an iPad....

Edge-76, Nox-72.5. So the Edge is about 3 in shorter and 3 in wider.

The original article says the platform investment was approx. 50 billion pounds, which is approx 79 billion USD.

Currently as far as CUVs, the Ford/GM alignment seems to be the Traverse matches up w/ the Flex and Equinox w/ the Edge. Nothing really lines up w/ the Escape or Explorer. WIll be interesting to see how things evolve... With BOF SUVs, the Tahoe and Suburban line up well w/ the Expedition and Expedition EL. I guess the Buick, GMC, and Cadillac entries sort of map to Lincoln.

The current Equinox is closer to the Pilot in size..a lot bigger than the CR-V...
