Almost forgot. I sure hope those made it to production! How cool are those things!?!?!? If they didn't make it I wonder if they can be retrofitted????

I agree that would be very cool...there are a few interior shots of the cars down in austraila...wonder if you can see anything there?

Not if they are going to be metal. If metal, we won't get them. If made of some other material, I am SO all for it!!!

I love those old belt buckles. I really hope they make it to production. We probably won't find that out for a while since it's such a small detail.

I have a belt for my pants with the old GM belt buckle as the fastener. I'm betting we won't see them.

I have that belt too... bought after I saw the GM reps wearing them at a car show last year. I hope they make it to production.

I don't fancy getting scorched in the summer months. I hated those belt buckles.

But then you get cool GM burn mark tattoos.

nah not for me... i'm young, but old enough to remember those old belt buckles... my parents' sunbird, celebrity, and skylark had those in them. i like the plastic ones or what ever they're using now... the old ones did burn ya good...

No, history aside, yes it would be cool but coolness wears off, brands from hot metal objects in the car don't! But its not practical, already too many things in a normal car that we burn our selves on (AND YES I MEAN THAT LITERALLY PHX HEAT IS DEADLY).

kinyu · 03-28-2008, 12:00 AM

Yeah, I live in phoenix and have had to remove some things that were metal and replace them with plastic. I've touched a metal shift knob and burned myself bad enough to get a blister.

Scotsman · 03-28-2008, 12:16 AM

Ok; what if they made the belt buckles out of a different material that was still durable enough for use that had a similar feel without the scorch?
