Hate to break it to you Rob but that looks just like a C6 Grand sport to me.........

[Vet Guru]

It's what is under the skin.....

[car95]

Do you mean the hybrid engine or the 2L V8?

[mitch_]

Just to be irritating I think I know, but I'm not allowed to tell!

[V8 YEA]

Isn't it amusing that one of the giveaways that this is a C7 mule is the fact the narrow track means the wheels are buried inside the arches.... I can't help thinking if they'd used a narrow-body C6 then nobody would have noticed I knew I was right: narrow-body is the future! Maybe that means they'll sell 'em at narrow-body prices?

[Vet Guru]

That's Narrow Minded!

Less is more.......money in this instance.

Just how much longer do we have to wait for C7?! At this rate my poor old C5 will have drunk it's weight in Mobil 1 by the time it gets replaced with a new car!

Mid to late 2013 and will be produced as 2014MY.

And Euro Models will be a tad later??

[Moogle]

Why does it look as though only two of the exhausts are being 'used'?

What!, just like the Camaro is still on the "a tad later" agenda ??...........

Unsure right now. Possibly not as GM knows there is a requirement for a Euro model whereas the Euro spec Camaro was signed off after production had started, hence the delay being down to homologation development.

[V8 YEA]

The homologation aspect seems to me faintly ridiculous,what with the planet being such a small place and "global issues" convienently affecting us all,yet a car perfectly safe in a country of 260 million people is "unsafe and unsatisfactory" in the UK and similarly unsafe in another once it's made "safe" for us. Let's hope they don't decide U.S. air that blows across the Atlantic is unsafe for us and demand we all stay indoors when the wind blows from the West !!

Bureaucracy creates jobs and until that changes you can expect more of it.
