hmmm i wish they'd make the coupe version. I much prefered that.

 

From what I have read, it seems very likely that every GM division will have it's own version of the Kappa platform eventually, so there should be a coupe model available later on...
by the way the saturn version has been given the go ahead.

 

Maybe GM will do the smart thing and make that cool Nomad concept a reality (and they should call the Camaro...oh wait, their just gonna bring another Holden up here to be the 06 Camaro )

i hope they come out with a turbo or SC version that 7.2 isnt making me happy

 

They should drop an LS2 in it!

 

Here's a pic of one I took at the Cleveland Auto Show a few months ago...Pretty sharp and nice for the price...

 

I have already read that like the SSR and GTo, this car will get a little more power in its second year.

 

the front end looks like crap

 

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

GOD-DAAAAAYUM, that is HOT!

 

'salright

 

Here's a pic of the Chevy concept Nomad based on the same chassis as the Solstice



A lot cooler than the Aveo...

 

Of course the Nomad is based on the original 1954 Corvette Nomad, even the dash is similar, no word on production yet, chevrolet wants to make it but GM executives will have the last word...

 

Apparently the next 2 seater kappa based Saturn should look a lot like this, read article...
