I always wondered why you didnt just do most of the testing at night? with the camo and the darkness it would be impossible to even tell what kind of car it was....

That grille looks a million times better than the concept's. It looks clean and sleek.

I think it's great that GM is sharing all of this stuff with us. I can't think of any other automaker, or any other car, getting this much attention from the community and GM letting us in on what they're doing. We're right there, every step of the way.

Scott,

Tell the team we said "Way to Go!"

Wonder which dealbreaker club will spawn from the release of this picture?

Everybody come visit my forums so I can increase my advertising fees in order to make payments on one of these!!!!

Loving the new grill, even though I didn't think the concept's was bad, this is 10x better. I can't wait to see it with the correct lamps in electron blue, with silver stripes.

That A pillar is kind of big. But it doesn't seem like a negative to me. I used to enjoy having some color on the A pillar on my 3gens, and the black 'invisible' A pillar was a little of a drawback on the 4gens I've had. I think the prominent 2010 A pillar helps accentuate the car's low, chopped look which gives it a custom flavor. It also might be needed for helping the car have world-class crashworthiness - who knows. I can surely see where you're coming from on your comment - but doesn't seem like a biggie at least to me.

I presume you mean that it's too thick. Doesn't seem that big to me. What did you have in mind? (post a pic of a car with a better a-pillar, or edit this pic with photoshop or something)

Scott, does that mean you are keeping the halos from the concept? So I can run the parking lamps pre-dusk and pull up behind some poor unsuspecting sap driving 50 in the left lane (otherwise known as a left lane lewie) and just stare into his rear view mirror with those beautifully sinnister halos???? (please please please please please please please please please please please please etc.....)

I assume the A-pillar width is due in part to side impact requirements, something that was a flaw of the 4th gens.

My brother has a newer Dodge Durango and that A pillar is seriously fat! It bugs me to drive it....

I know that air bag placement dictates it's size......but I like them thin...just likes me women.........
