Isn't the Captiva a rebadged Saturn Vue? It's available as a fleet vehicle here in the states.

Thanks. I knew I wasn't crazy. Found it under the Fleet site. Stupid question, why is it under the fleet site instead of the Chevy site? I am just curious. It doesn't have the power my wife is wanting... :(

Captiva is fleet only and not for retail sell.

It's a way for GM to provide fleet customers with a compact/midsize crossover without killing Equinox resale values.

Any rumors of DCT's lately?

Bhobbs · 06-05-2013, 11:55 AM

Anything in the rumor mill about the C7 Z06 or ZR1?

I'm assuming its the S/C LT rendering we saw but the article said it topped the LSA. What I don't get is, the LS9 already topped the LSA so either the blown LT won't break 630 HP or that was a mistake in the article. I'm hoping the article was wrong.

Is the Z06 staying N/A or going F/I?

Silverlsinva · 06-05-2013, 03:08 PM

Im pretty sure that the Z06 will say N/A cause that is what it is known for a nice N/a responsive lively motor that has a high redline. But I bet it will cost atleast 90k for the Next gen Z06.

FenwickHockey65 I'm just wondering who you are? Like do you work at GM or what? Nothing too personal of course... Thanks

Also, my dad worked for GM for 30 years in various assembly and manufacturing capacities, including building 2nd and 3rd gen F-bodies at Norwood Assembly. So because my family has pretty close ties to the company and still derive some income from it, I've kinda taken it upon myself to help out in any way I can, mostly answering people's questions about current and future product.

This about sums it up.

I hope it stays N/A.

I don't see the Z06 going up too high. The Stingray got an aluminum frame and the LT1 and isn't too much more money than the base C6.
