Not as much as I am referring to Ford and Dodge showing us things that we can actually BUY. Look at the Dodge Challenger 392...they were in the dealerships or orderable while the car was in the magazines. If GM is going to show us the ZL-1, tell us how great it is, then tell us we can buy it NEXT YEAR or so...I am going to be pissed.

GM had a great marketing team back in the 50's and 60's...the entire country would literally shut down and watch a t.v. show or line up outside of dealers awaiting the covers to be removed from the NEW cars in the showroom...then the dealer would sit down with you and write up the order...a few weeks later, the car was IN YOUR HANDS. Now? YEARS. The ZL1 has 100,000 miles on the Nurburgring by now...it is tested hard...the platform is DONE...the Engine has been tested ad naseum...also the mag ride...GIVE US THE DAMNED THING ALREADY!

Looks great by the way!


And Motor Trend, Car and Driver, et al....we know.. you hate the view out of the car and you find the A-pillar obtrusive, the interior sub par to the $1,000,000 Bugatti you tested yesterday, and the on star mirror a joke...beyond that...how does it DRIVE?
