The Concept Stingray Vette they are using in the new Transformers it will be called sideswipe in the movie

I had the transformer sideswipe when I was a kid..It was a ferrari or Lambo. GM wasting advertising $ again.

Sad but true. Bankruptcy imminent. Can't say I didn't see it coming. However...About 10 years ago, I would'nt believe it. I would have bought a chevy or Dodge well before a Ford. Not so anymore..... Just wish GM and Dodge could put half the energy into their normal cars that they do the Vette and the Viper. Putting a High end car in the showroom to bring in traffic only works for so long if the regular vehicles have little to no substance. :(

I don't know, I'm thinking it has "Corvette Summer II" written all over it.
Too bad Big 3 can't bring Euro-spec cars over here. EPA and crash standards took care of that though.

Too bad the average American couldn't afford this car. It's a great concept!

The UAW and cloning cars between brands killed GM in my opinion.
GM trying to build compact cars to compete with foreign cars is another. You just simply can't compete with high labor costs on compact cars. Kia, Hyundai, Toyota, Nissan, etc.. can run circles around your product, and bring it to the market for thousands less.
GM is competitive with cars like the Camry in fuel economy, and price.....but there are quality standards that need to be addressed to get consumer confidence back.
The UAW bears a lot of blame for their greed...telling GM what to pay it's workforce. Unions were created after the Depression to protect worker rights, and worked well for many years. Now their demands for outrageous benefits and pay for their workers are ridiculous. How can GM China build a Buick Lacrosse with US made parts, and sell it there for $20-22,000 and be profitable? The same car here costs $32-35,000 and Buick looses money?
Labor rates and excessive benefits have just caused the hole to get deeper and deeper...along with poor choices in vehicles offered for sale.
