21st Century Shaggin Wagon
It kinda looks like this except it’s has "old school" rims, the current grill, larger lower grill with mesh, and I think I might see an intercooler.

21st Century Shaggin Wagon
Just saw pictures of an HHR Panel van (no side rear window) from a study GM did and since its made it to us, I'm 95% sure it'll make it into production. I was never too keen on the original HHR, but this panel van look damn cool. Sorry, can’t take pics.

GM expecting to save $4 billion in 2006
http://www.yahoo.com/s/268025 DETROIT - General Motors Corp. expects to save about $4 billion this year as it implements its North American turnaround plan, Chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner said Friday. But he declined to give earnings guidance, saying there are too many outstanding issues facing the struggling automaker. Wagoner also refused to speculate on whether the board of the world's biggest automaker will consider cutting dividends to shareholders. Earlier this week, Jerome York, an aide to billionaire investor Kirk Kerkorian, said GM should consider halving its annual $2 per share dividend, which he estimated would save $566 million a year. "We have a lot of topics under our corporate governance structure that require board approval," Wagoner told a gathering of automotive analysts in Dearborn. GM stopped providing earnings guidance last April after it lost $1.1 billion in the first quarter. Wagoner said GM's financial picture will be affected by the outcome of negotiations with Delphi Corp., its former parts division, which has filed for bankruptcy protection and could seek billions from GM. GM also is trying to sell a controlling stake in its finance division, GMAC. Wagoner also said it's unclear when the automaker will see the full benefit of a new health care agreement that requires retired autoworkers to pay more for their health care. The agreement has received preliminary approval in federal court, and GM hopes it will go into effect April 1, Wagoner said. Wagoner said the company is working to implement its previously announced plan to reduce structural costs — which include health care and pensions — by $6 billion a year by the end of 2006 and reduce material costs by $1 billion. Wagoner said GM's structural costs as a percentage of revenue are now at 34 percent, and he would like that to fall to 25 percent by 2010. GM expects to realize $4 billion in savings this year as the initiatives are implemented. GM plans to achieve some savings by reducing its salaried staff by 6 to 7 percent this year, Wagoner said. The company has cut its salaried work force by a third since 2000, he said. In November, the company announced a plan to cut 30,000 hourly jobs and close 12 facilities by 2008. "Executing these numbers is critical to our success, and we are focused 100 percent on getting that done," Wagoner said. The company's U.S. sales fell 4 percent in 2005, and GM lost $4.8 billion in its North American operations in the first nine months of 2005. The company is scheduled to report fourth-quarter earnings Jan. 26. "I think it's safe to say that just about everyone at General Motors is happy to see 2005 behind us," Wagoner said. Wagoner also said the company is optimistic about its decision to lower prices on virtually all its vehicles in the U.S. market. The price cuts went into effect this week. Wagoner said the company is determined not to pile on huge incentives right if the strategy doesn't show immediate results. "We certainly do have some flexibility to give the program some time to take hold," Wagoner said. "We absolutely plan to stick with the strategy. We think it's a good strategy." GM shares fell 40 cents, or 1.9 percent, to $20.56 in morning trading on the New York Stock Exchange

they forgot to add that DCX is adding rear coil springs- Corvette SuperSport
power is great, but all the horsepwoer ain't gonna mean a thing if its heavy and handles like a pig. I'll wait and see before I declare this party wrecked- Corvette SuperSport
hush hush? this has been is all over the place for over a week. I can hardly wait for it, but I wish they'd come up with a better name than SS. Keep the Blue Devil tagor something else cool. While it may be a Chevy, they shouldn't want too many ties IMO. Haaving a Zed model is enough of a tie, an SS on top of that would be too much- Is GM a buy?

mid 11's or so of course that on my Ninja. My old cavy ran 18's, not bad for an auto tranny wit 150+km and a head gasket that was going (slow coolant leak). She also dynoed 100.5hp at the wheels. The ghetto WAI I made paid for itself that day. I won a bunch of money that day cause nobody thought she's break the 100 mark.- Do you have Two plates on your car?
Two in Ontario as well. I don’t get why a bike can get away with one plate, but a car has to have too :angry:- Tookie: Live or Die?

I like it, but I don’t see the Z06 LS7 going in there. I really like the idea of the S/C LS2- So its the Solstice GXP
Not sure I was chatting with a guy at a GM dealership (guy in parts, not a sales guy) and he told me that they got a press release for the Solstice GXP 3 weeks ago. He said it would have the 2.0L Ecotec Turbo producing 250hp as a powerplant. Marketing would begin in June 06 with a late 06 release.- GM Expected To Announce Plant Closings
