I wouldn't sell GM short on aero ability.They have constructed and competed with some of the lowest drag vehicles ever conceived.Some of their world records still stand.They have the distinction of offering the lowest drag production vehicle ever offered to the general public(EV-1/2).------------- I suspect,they suspect how ignorant the general public is about aero,and they will bring them in slow,so as not to create another Chrysler Airflow debacle.500 hours,at $20,000 a day(just for tunnel time) to refine the "stylist's" rendering is a pretty serious effort to make an accord with the troposphere.---------------------- They're capable of visionary products,lets see what they do before we condemn them.Remember,Cd 0.12 is already a reality for GM,has been since 1987,they know aero,but they've got to be able to sell aero.
