Great catch!

Guess we'll find out in a few days.

 

It says it has a Turbo 2.2 putting out 250 hp. Not too bad in my opinion. I like the use of a turbo here. I think it would be a good thing if GM used supercharged and turbocharged engines in the same family of cars(Kappa) to help differentiate them and give them different attitudes. Good stuff.

I like that autoshift

 

Is Autoshift like what BMW has in their cars? When you just tap the shifter forward and back to shift up and down. Basically a manual without the clutch pedal?

If so these are so much fun. I drove my uncles BMW with this over Christmas. Weird getting use to shifting manually without a clutch pedal. I found myself slamming my foot down on the floorboard looking for the pedal.

 

Well ok so the nomad has a boost guage which is good, but for me the thing absolutely must have some form of V8 at least optional. I don't care if its the SSR's 5.3, give us something to work with here! Four bangers are for the birds. Even the GN's had to earn my respect, which they have done. Its very simple V8 rear wheel drive period. Just my .02

 

That shifter probably isnt SMG.It is your average sport shifter (automatic tranny) to make a dummy think it is a manual trans.
