Re: Lambda, the next big thing.

The "Spaceships" are what the next generation CSVs/minivans are described as, I've not heard that the X-Overs are spaceship-like though.

I've seen an early rendering of the Chevy minivan, and it is rather spaceship like. Just to describe a little of it, there's basically no overhang (front or rear), it has pretty aggressive wheel flares, and I'd guesstimate the wheels are 18s (definetly no smaller than 17s). It's pretty radical for a minivan; like nothing on the road today.

For the reason Josh posted, I can't share the pic. Sorry.

Re: Lambda, the next big thing.

Forgot to add this, but according to AH-HA the engines for all are the 3.6L HF V6 and a new 4.7L UV8 (DOHC). I think they'll have 6-speed autos standard too.

Did AH-HA mention of DOD would show up on the new V8?

No, he didn't mention that. Since DOD is apparantly harder to do on DOHC (at least for GM, I think Honda has it), I'm guessing it might not have it.

The XV12 had DOD, and it was developed by GM and built by Cosworth. I am thinking the XV12 could have something to do with tech that will be seen on the Ultra V8.
