We have seen a yellow PrePro once I believe. You may be right but it won't be a huge surprise.

Welcome to the site!

What gave me the idea of the yellow being the 4th colour... is that we haven't seen it ANYWHERE since.

They have to be doing *something* with it(!)

I haven't seen the yellow pre-po on any of the trucks pulling the cars around for various testing purposes...

Plus, and I could be *totally* wrong here... but why would you paint a tester in yellow? Black/white is easy to conceal with camo. Silver is pretty obvious to be released (noted in story), as is red (and we saw it with the accessories)... so why paint a tester yellow? I would think to gather "feel" for how well the shade of yellow fills the bumblebee demand.

*GTAHVIT* · 05-24-2008, 08:52 PM

Fair enough. I hope you're right.

warbird81 · 05-24-2008, 10:36 PM

he's right, i was thinking the same thing

On the IPOD topic,
I got a $200 radio for my old $800 Mustang, it controls the IPOD from the volume to the playlist selection options. Surely GM can accomplish the same. I guess it might be unfair to Creative mp3 owners, so at least have the option to plug in and control an external hard drive (USB or SD)

Blizzard · 05-24-2008, 11:08 PM

USB and SD to me is the way to go, since it works like a CD and means you can use your radio controls.

chadrcr · 05-24-2008, 11:59 PM

I hope they are options, or standard equipment for that matter, with the steering wheel controls for volume, selecting artist, song etc...

Alpine iDA-X200 Digital Media Receiver: controls ipod....$250. Can we get GM to build one ?

GM does have an ipod interface kit already. I remember seeing it on the HHR, and I'm sure its offered on more than that.

Does it control IPOD, or just play it? 06 Sierra is Bose, but no IPOD connection at all.

I've got an excellent question for the disciples!: How did the V6 sound??!?!?!?!?

Ask Fbodfather. He does great impressions.

Excellent! ... and they're still working on making it better!

We did not hear what the final production version will sound like.

Best regardSS,

Garfin/Elie I have a question for you that hopefully you can answer. What was your impression of the "shark" fin(for onstar)? Did it seem out of place? Did it visually skew the lines of the reverse mohawk? If you can't answer I understand but I will take anything you can tell us.

*TAG UR IT* · 05-25-2008, 10:22 AM

I'll take a shark fin anyday over the wire metal antennae that sticks up three feet and is stuck in place. Good grief, how I wish everyone would just get rid of those....make'em all shark fins for all I care.
