This actually should help Europeans buy the car.
Their Euro and Pound are very strong right now.
Taxes are the killer.

As for the taillights, as long as they light up, I'm fine.

amen

Ok if this is not the final production sheet metal just imagine what the final will look like!

Camero- So are we to understand there is already another car with LED headlights (sorry if I've missed a prior post) or are you suggesting Camaro is the car you are referrencing?

Does anyone know for sure what those two caps on each side of the trailer hitch are? I think I saw an earlier post calling them some type of "testing port".

If GM's goal with this car is affordability, I think the 20" rims should go. Do you know how freaking expensive 20" tire are? Don't get me wrong, the 20" rims are beautifull, but anything bigger than 17" or 18" just doesn't fit into the affordability thing. Just my opinion.

They are actually tie downs to secure the car to a trailer or to its own parking spot. We put them on some of the cars the mech engineers build here so we can display them without anyone watching over them like hawk.

You can get 20" tires for as low as $99.00/each online, and even cheaper when they go on sale. Granted yes some name brands and special performance tires can hit well over $200-300/each, but that doesn't mean you HAVE to spend that.

Also alot of people are living under a mis-conception. 20's WONT BE STANDARD! Something in the 17-18" will be, the 20's will be an OPTION.

+1. v6 and base v8 (or whatever the cheapest v8 is) will not have something that size. maybe even steel rims. 20s, especially those ones, would be perfect. but no bigger than that.
