Whats the latest info on the Nomad?

I saw a pic in my Car and Driver and it has really grown on me.
I like the Solstice but am not interested in a convertible and the Nomad looks pretty cool.

Maybe a neat idea would be to add two hidden doors like the RX8 or Saturn coupe. That way it could retain its coupe look while offering more versatility and attract buyters that need 4 doors.

Well its certainly nothing like I have ever seen before(apart from the 50's models).Cant say I like it but I cannot say that I would totally dismiss it all together.It leaves me wondering what age group will find it appealing.
Wish I knew what exactly the specs are.........

Hmm,just answered my own question.
A turbo charged 2.2L Ecotech with an elec.controlled 5 spd auto trans.
250 hp....not bad.

Well I am 29 and I find it kinda cool. The RWD is a big plus.

A production version (if its made) would have less hp most likely. Give me a 5 speed/6 speed manual though:cool:

Yup, the word is that chevy was saying that maybe they're getting too much product! :eek:

Saab may just get this one. But nobody really knows for sure right now.
