Nomad now not a certainty
The auto press loved it, but the public reaction isn't what GM hoped for.
On the plus side, the Saturn Curve is a go for production 6 months after Solstice begins production. The Lightning is in doubt though. Blame the European Union's pedustrian safety standards that require plenty of space between sheetmetal & undethood components.

That very European Union's pedustrian safety could destroy car design as we know it, but it does not affect cars that have a mid-engine layout so most all Ferrari's, LAmbos and Porches will be fine. Maybe this might be one of the reasons why GM might bring out a Mid-engine Chevy and a mid-engine Caddy to be slotted above the Vette and XLR.

Which public would that have been?!?
Next the Solstice, which for us would have to be instead of, rather than in addition to the Camaro(s), the Nomad represents the only GM that looks desireable & affordable to us.
I guess they need to come up with something to utilize the balance of the platform capacity so there is still hope.

damn--I like the Nomad even more then the Solstice.
Its the hardtop body style and the rwd that do it for me.
The Solstice, while nice, isn't practical here, (people who drive convertibles in the winter are nuts!) you'd really neeed two cars.
