The newer ones, not sure about the WWII era ones, had multifuel engines that would run on just about anything from kerosene to jet fuel or diesel. They have 6X6 wheel drive but can get stuck easily do to the NDT tires.

They are one of the biggest places to buy those trucks out west. Out east you have a couple of other places to buy them. You really got to buy them fairly local cause they are a pain to move across country. Most of them have a top speed of around 50 mph so any trip is going to be slow. They are cheap though and if you need to move something they will move it for sure or rip it apart trying to move it.
Is the IROC series still around? I though the original I-ROC cars were affiliated with the racing series. I like the idea, but I wonder if GM actually has the rights to use the name.

The Z-28 should be the lighter weight more handling oriented version.
It should have a track pack option too.
The original Z-28s were the 302 powered Camaros for Trans Am races.

Hard to tell exactly with all the camouflage and snow, but it appears as though this could be the long-awaited 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Z28. We reported that this supercharged Camaro was back on track late last year and this picture appears to confirm that story.
You can clearly see the raised hood on this prototype, a feature necessary to clear the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 sitting in the engine bay. That engine delivers 556-horsepower in the Cadillac CTS-V, so the Camaro Z28 will have at least that much.
Also note the ultra low-profile tires on this test mule. They suggest a serious tire/wheel upgrade which would seem appropriate for a car of the Z's capabilities. A revised front end is probably part of the package too as that big V8 needs plenty of air to make all that horsepower.
Then again, maybe this is just some new body kit and wheel package they're testing out.

That is indeed interesting. I wasn't aware of a wagon version being made. Is that going to be offered here in the U.S. ???

I'm so glad GM was able to sell SAAB to Spyker and yet be a major part of it's future. I've been reading a lot about Saab here lately. I wished GM would of fully held on to the brand though because it was headed in the right direction. Oh well hopefully Spyker can turn the brand into a main stream player and I like the idea they want to turn the brand into a performance brand so that is a really cool thing. :shades:
LOL, I know....I'm such a Saab Snaab as one put it!!! :P

The articles says here and in China, of course. It's based on the Opel Insignia. The picture is at a Michigan GM proving ground. Where does GM have test tracks?
Milford Michigan?

If you ever make it up this way one of these summers you will have to let me know. South Haven, is a huge tourist town on Lake Michigan and this track is a major proving grounds and race track for the wealthy elites to race there hot exotics, etc....

What do you guys think????
I think that the Z-28 package should return to its roots. The new Z-28 should be a lightweight and nimble GT that emphasizes handling and responsiveness over brute power.

It just seems like more of the same old GM "Dunder Mifflin" thinking..

Exterior is photochoppy and doesn't seem to have the right proportions for something of Aveo size.
one thing I'm concerned about is GM continuing to do some rebadging of their products and if you look at the 2011 Regal GS below there is several similar styling and body cues to the new Aveo! I do not like that, but there are not to to many so I guess that is a good thing! Though the overall body styles of each are decent looking!
I tend to favor the Buick's styling a little better compared to the Chevy's!
While we are on the subject of rebadging, can anyone please tell me what the point and why GM kept GMC while it is simply just a complete rebadge and altered front/rear ends of several Chevy products? Doesn't the Chevrolet brand offer enough middle of the road SUV, Vans, and Pick-ups to cover GM without having to have another division offering the same amount of SUVs and Pick-ups for middle of the road people?

Professional grade. GMC trucks for owners of small business, construction companies, contractors going out to do bids. Chevy trucks for the workers - carpenters, plumbers, electricians, etc.
My ex-wife's father said he'd never buy a GMC because that's his mother's initials... Gladys Marie Christian! But then my uncle said he always hated the way Chevy would spell out "C H E V R O L E T" in mammoth letters across the tailgate. So you gotta please all groups. Marketing genius, y'know. :P
I've usually preferred the styling of GMC trucks to their Chevy counterparts over the years, though.
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
Respect the customer. The customer is "always" right. If, when, maybe now, if GM has the best product, the customer will buy.
I recently read that GM is finding notable differences in the buying habits of consumers chosing GMC Terrain or Chevy Equinox. Terrain buyers tend to buy loaded V6 AWD, while Equinox sales are somewhat divided between AWD and FWD with most buyers opting for the 4 banger. So there appears to be market segmenting in this class at least. I don't know if there are differences between them in the popular full size vehicle buyers decisions.
Having GMC puts high margin trucks into non Chevy outlets. Until gas is consistently in the 4 or 5 buck range, I think there will be plenty of truck buyers. So I'm not sure that any great savings will happen if GM drops GMC while dealers may be impacted negatively. I think Lutz knows the market and GM probably made the right decision keeping GMC for now.
