So are we going to get to hear now what you told them to change, if they changed it or not and if not why not?

..."Fuel Sippin" isn't exactly the headline we need associated with the car right now. Gotta change that perseption...

There were many hours of going back and forth so a lot of things got lost in the sauce over the past couple of years. It wasn't us making mention of things and them saying "Good idea! We'll do that!" Some things were suggested and noted but we might not know if they were actually changed yet or not. We'll see as more time goes on and we get more exposure to the car. Some things like 1LE and clear differentiation between models was bought up heavily, so there is a couple of good examples of that there. I know a lot of other things were suggested that couldn't be implemented...functional slit above the grill, t-tops, you know those sort of things.

We can for sure talk about it if asked as long as the question is about something that is public. I'll try to remember more things going forward. Many were details that were minor but we thought might be important to a lot of people, I think the dead pedal was suggested and you can see one in the pics.

Cool article
ummm you're reading it wrong because fuel sippin is good thing. Fuel guzzeling is the bad perception.
Really it's impressive CNN is writing a positive article about the MPG.

I know GM is tight on cash but I didn't know they sold us!
