They did a nice job on it. On the plane ride home today, I read the Automobile Magazine article on the car and the design analysis by Automobile’s grumpy old man designer, Robert Cumberford, who actually was a GM designer back in the late ‘50’s/early ‘60’s and worked on the Corvette. He hates the design, but did say the wheels are very nice.

That looks way better than the guy who stuffed a dummy 350 in the hatch...

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.
