I really wish I could give everyone a first hand look at how much background work goes into making any type of product like this, not only the actual design, production, and manufacturing but also other stuff like waiting for GM's approval to use the C5 logo and such. We're trying really hard to get this to market ASAP, but we have to follow some steps ourselves as well (like quality testing, field testing, etc.).
But, I have some good news, pre-ordering will start in about 1 week! As soon as I become a forum vendor I will post a link to the website.

As a senior in Industrial Engineering I can agree to the above, getting a product from idea to reality isn't fast unfortunately and doing it well is all that much more difficult. A project like this could be a huge success or a huge failure depending on a couple of small details that (hopefully) we'll never really know about...
If you for some reason need any help on anything, please PM me

Wish I had saw this thread earlier...with the rapid prototyping equipment I have access here I could have a real product out of plastic, titanium or steel made in a few hours after a Solidworks drawing was made 
Anyways, let us know the release date or price or something ASAP, I want one!!!

Oh wow never heard that one before...
If I wanted to be an ME I probably could have been. Yes, the degree is harder than IE but I have to take several ME courses for general engingeering requirements and have had less problems with them than some people I know who are ME majors.
Maybe it's not as hard but it's as practical or more so than a lot of engineering degrees, including ME.

I am looking forward to reading more about this. I am sick of my key fob slapping against the dash board!
