Hey everyone. I've been reading for a while, and finally decided to join in and post.

To clarify, I've seen reports that GM has said it will have 2 V6 options and 1 V8 upon launch. Has that been confirmed, or do we still only know it will have at least one V6 and V8?

Thanks for the info everyone. I like having this thread as a central location to list only what has been confirmed.

I was just thinking that when I went home yesterday... Maybe the Gas cap is just underneath the camo? It doesn't look like Camo paint; if you look at the back, you can see it kind of wrinkled, like a tarp fit over the car.

Judging by Scott's teasing

, I'm just going to go ahead and believe (keep the faith, right?) that it will stay where it should be. However, it comes off the list.

*TAG UR IT* · 10-17-2007, 01:41 PM

I read into Scott's post and also got the same feeling that it's staying where it is. There seems to be too much that would lead me to believe it's location was going to change. But, that right there, kind of led me to believe it stays! That's exaclty what I was hoping for!

PS...for those that like to spill things...it's easy...BE CAREFUL. and use one of those things they call a paper towel when you remove the gas pump from your vehicle (they are usually right next to the pump). It's really not that difficult to take care. IMO, that gas cap location rocks!

Pencil.Fight · 10-17-2007, 01:54 PM

Yeah, or just keep some of those blue shop towels in your trunk at all times. That way, even if the gas station doesn't have paper towels, or has run out, you're still safe. There's going to be spillage, just wipe it off right away and there won't be a problem. Or, better yet, put the paper towel right below the lid before you take the pump out.

Just make sure you wash the rest of your car regularly as well, otherwise you'll end up with one little spot under the fuel lid that's cleaner than everywhere else.

Your a pain...you know that?

Ok, I added the dimensions to the list using information from the "Dimensions?" thread. Does anyone know if the difference between the Concept and the Coupe have been confirmed by GM?

*TAG UR IT* · 10-17-2007, 03:49 PM

Nope. Don't ever recall a differece in anything. So far, it's been "Here's the dimensions on the concept." Then, a while later, they said the roof would be raised something like 14mm (Maybe it was 11 - which isn't much anyway). That was the only thing....oh, and they lengthened the front wheelbase, right? ...to allow for the taller wheels? So, with these two changes, the figures will change. But, I have NEVER seen factual info released from GM on dimensions since the release of the silver coupe concept.

*Mr. Wyndham* · 10-17-2007, 03:50 PM

^yeah, there were GM-stated dimension changes...but they were all under an inch so...pretty much trivial I'll see if I can find them, they're floating around the boards somewhere...

EDIT: TAG beat me to it....damn.

Pencil.Fight · 10-17-2007, 03:51 PM

Heh, so which is it?

Quote:

Take the coupe specifications and make these changes...
roofline - 12 mm higher
width - 1/2 inch narrower
wheelbase - 50mm longer.

I think this is right.

This a quote I got from Tag in the "Dimensions?" thread.

*Mr. Wyndham* · 10-17-2007, 03:54 PM

^ That's it.

Pencil.Fight · 10-17-2007, 03:58 PM

So is it "fact" or speculation? I'm just trying to decide if I need to delete it from my list or not.

*Mr. Wyndham* · 10-17-2007, 04:18 PM

It's neither, really. Cause numbers are subject to change...but that is what a GM exec said a while back

*TAG UR IT* · 10-17-2007, 04:39 PM

Which is where I got it from. Everything can change. That is just what they said....all from press releases.
