Don't disagree that they'll do fine in comparos, because they'll cost less, and GM pays lots of ad bucks, and then the journalists will drive home in their BMWs.

And now a tangent. Been traveling a lot lately, so not on here much. How's your design show going? Are you rich and famous yet? Hope you at least have a good touchdown dance when you win.
Show doesn't start filming till Feb. 24th. But it is giving me time to strategize and brush up on welding, fiber-glassing as well as draw every day.

I guess I just have more faith in GM than you. The Stingray is a good example of them doing things right. I think the ATS-V will be another.
