Oh...and they need to take the camera away from Joe Cocker and give it to someone else from now on.
And that's defiitely possible. I REALLY hope they wouldn't be so lame as to put a non-functional scoop on any of the cars, but they did it to the 05-06 GTO so anything is possible. I mean, it *has* to have scoops or it's obviously not fast...

As for whether or not someone who was resourceful could make it work, problem is, there has to be enough room between the radiator and the hood to pass a reasonable size intake pipe through, as well as room to mount a MAF since most people are not ready to take the tuning plunge to get rid of it. Both of these are issues with the 05-06 GTO (04s have more space between the radiator and hood though and in Oz, going MAF-less is all the rage so OTRCAIs were common for the monaro until 05)

I didn't even notice the lower button, whoops.

Wait till Scott see`s these....Talk about going to be pissed as an understatement.....

I like the trim panels, the key fob, push button would have been cool like on my c6 but no matter.This is most likely a base car and if that is a 3.6DI motor in the base, then the other 2 motors should be v8`s... Hopefully anyways....

*Edit: I can't seem to link the larger pics???
Would it be nuts to think, the little graphic below the lock symbol is a headset? If so, it might be an iPod jack or USB port.

Also - notice the 'menu select' button on the head unit

(p.s. I'm looking at the 1280 res pix up on Jalopnik)

edit: never mind. Looks like a closed hasp. Maybe it's the hood release?

It's definitely a door of some type.



Push the top to pop the door open, push the bottom to lock it closed. The only thing that makes sense is a 12V accessory port.

Looks more like power outside mirror controls to me. Notice what looks like a small toggle below it for R/L select.
I think Grip is looking at the same button I am (just behind the lower storage bin), and that notgetleft is looking at a different button (upper right of the pic).

I also suspect that it is the trunk release, and I think that's a great spot for it.

Okay, either Jason is drunk or somebody else got a hold of his account password.

Look again. I see a "lock" symbol not a headset. Also based on the size and similar ports on other GM products, I still believe its a 12V accessory port.

It looks exactly the right size to me. (Cigarette lighter size in fact.)

An ipod/mp3 jack wouldn't necessarily need a cover would it? (fwiw, its a stupid location for the hazard button, but I guess that's the price we pay for a car that can easily be converted to rhd.)
