That is the word on the grapevine, not a bad idea if you think about it, be more affordable and fuel efficient then the alternative, which is good in the current market

I'm gonna reserve judgement until I see the whole thing. That shape really doesn't turn me on though.

We should petition GM to do away with all camo on test vehicles like they did for the Camaro

Yeah...but then there'd be massive overexposure and they'd have to MCE the cars before they even went into production.

I know, I am just dying to see more details of the car though, I know it will never happen, but it would be nice. I would love to see some shots of the interior and the headlights and tail lights etc.
