Nice pics. Im liking what I see, the only thing I see weird is the nintendo looking directional pads for environment controls.

I really hope that the multiple headlights are only on the v6 model. Im not too big on them at all. The halos are one thing I am really looking forward to.

Scott (Fbodfather) has said numerous times that those lights are simply glued in place. The production lights are not ready yet.

AH! A brand new member to the site....And you've paid attention!!!!

Welcome!

Thank you so very much! This 'Hooligan' is right, those headlamps aren't production. They're basically hot-glued in place.

Wouldn't multiple headlights be a necessity to make the car street legal, having one low beam and one high beam? Unless there's something I'm missing about the halo lights, like using the LED rim of a halo light for low beam and the center portion for high beams. Otherwise, I can't think of a new car these days with single lamps like on the concept.

I noticed a BMW today that had halo headlights. You wont need multiple to make it legal. Not sure what model it was but I live where they make the Z4 roadster and the X3 X5 so I will keep a look out for some more and give you some models.

you can get dual stage lights (high and low beams in one bulb) which means you only need 1 headlight not multiple ones on each side

halos yes but there's not a BMW being made right now with singles

Interior looks pretty good, but still reserved about the radio/climate control pod..

stovt001 · 01-30-2008, 09:50 PM

The new trend for input jacks is to put them in a storage compartment, like the center console. It gives the radio face a cleaner look and allows you to keep your device out of sight. Also, GM's ipod integration kit locates the dedicated ipod connector in the glove box.

You know, when people sign up to post here there should be a question asking what Scott has said about the headlights and interior materials. They must answer correctly before posting. That would save a lot of headaches.

I can think of quite a few. And my Cobalt is one of them.

'09Z28 said it, they're called Dual Stage lamps. There's two filaments in the same bulb. With LED lights, however (

) they just add a few more LEDs to the top of the light, and angle them a little (or so I understand).

Just a note about the radio/HVAC controls ... I was in a new Malibu recently and the radio is exactly the same and the HVAC is very close if not exact duplicate. Got a chance to fiddle with controls etc and thought that it was well laid out and easy to use. I liked it and think most of you will come around if you haven't already.
