NOPE!!! i'd rather wait til guy put one in one of those grocery store hot rod mags. IMO, it's cooler to see camo'ed cars being tested and kept waiting til a press release or something. think of it like this...if you know what " " is at NAIAS this year, i'd rather be there with scott and all the guys up here IN PERSON seeing it unveiled for the first time. theres no fun in looking at stolen photos.

and redzed, theres nothing wrong with guy teasing us with "i know something you don't" stuff. thats part of fun of being up here.

and scott... to the credit card stuff!!!

that is not the point. One of MANY points you're missing is the publicity that is generated by keeping the new vehicle under wraps. That relates to a ton of money.....and ANYONE with any business acumen will tell you that.

So.....I'm still waiting for your credit card info. and bank statements.......

(crickets chirping.......)

C'mon, you can TRUST me, can't you??????

And we're still waiting for a Camaro.

Hit a home run with it and you can see everyone's info thru GMAC.

So you don't think GM could lose out on sales of the current Tahoe when a much nicer/modern looking rig is obviosuly right around the corner?

Here's the point. I don't go snooping through your own house taking pictures of everything you have in there...especially if you're working on some new product for the public...what gives anyone the right to take pictures of something behind closed doors on GM property? Why don't you please answer that for me.

Open, public roads or on the test track where it is possible for the public to see in? Fine. That's why I didn't have a problem with the first C6 pictures on the car hauler, GM had no one to blame but themselves for that one...it was in the middle of Chicago! Behind locked doors in a private design studio is just plain WRONG.

So are you saying it plays into the hands of the manufacturer (any auto maker) when the spy photos show up, the ones where the vehicle is clad in camoflouge? I can definitely see where those photos would help create a buzz.
