Some posters have noted the new Vette interior. That was planned.
 
"The emphasis on the car's interior - the magnesium seat frames, the leather stitching, and the suede steering wheel - are all attempts to lure in buyers who might be attracted to the luxury features of, say, a Porsche 911 but unwilling to pay the higher price."

"Reuss said for the next generation Volt, GM can cut down “thousands of dollars” in costs with a better designed battery pack and electric motors."
 
A good read here from Detroit:

E-cars got to be a price competitive segment in a hurry. Leaf prices got whacked recently and this outfit that I'd never heard of before today slashed their electric car price by $13,000, down to $25k.
 
Be nice to see GM make some money on the ELR.

#1207 of 1259 Cadillac ATS by lemko

I got to test drive both the Cadillac XTS and Cadillac ATS at the Philadelphia Auto Show this past Saturday. I was thinking both would make great His and Hers cars - the XTS for me and the ATS for my wife. However, I was quite impressed with the ATS with the twin-turbo four.

Besides, that small trunk will keep her from buying more stuff - just kidding!

#1210 of 1259 The Latest Chick Car? by steve_ HOST

Feb 05, 2013 (5:12 pm)

"The Spark's female demographics were part of a larger report from GM on just who is buying the minicar. GM noted that early buyer data for the Spark shows that 29 percent of buyers are under 35. Nearly 54 percent of Spark purchases are "conquest" sales or buyers who are new to the brand. More than one in five buyers is coming from an import car brand, said GM."

And this is a fun read:
 
Chevy's $2.5 Billion Corvette
 
"General Motors has produced almost 1.4 million Corvettes over the past 60 years. Most are still around and each Corvette is a small economy unto itself. A Corvette isn't an appliance like a Malibu or a tool like a pickup. It's a car built for people who love cars. Or at least for people who love the Corvette.
 
And because they love it they'll pamper that Corvette with exotic waxes, fancy embroidered floor mats, a tough-sounding exhaust system and shiny custom wheels. And, when it's finally all worn out, they'll restore it back to new and start the process all over again. It's a never-ending life cycle supported by companies, shops and dealerships that make, modify, restore and recycle virtually every part of these iconic machines."
