I heard it won't even have doors. You literally can't get in the car. It was confirmed by jalopnik.

Thanks for missing the point.

I got the point. People don't like vertical doors. I don't either. We all prefer conventional doors.


However, the point made in that picture is mooted when the example you use is the entry-level Lamborghini. That picture was funny when it was created. Back in 2008. It was not, however, very clever. Especially when one looked across the showroom at the more expensive, more powerful Murcielago with its inconvenient scissor doors.

It's also grammatically incorrect. It's a stupid picture.

I know a guy who talked to another guy, who nows the guy that files the paper drawings in the print room of the company that makes the front clip tooling. He says that the entire front clip is one piece and it moves forward as one piece from the B pillar to allow access inside. So there is no doors. But don't park too close to anything in the front.

Yeah , i hope GM does impress us they came back with some very nice product over all.

Hopefully that will be the icing on the cake !!!!

4 month and we should see it at the detroit show
I hope so, but I am not going to bet on it.

The only thing I am betting on 470+hp, better seats and no AWD. ( I am moving soon and now I am likely going to wish it had AWD. LOL)

I may also bet on DCT and Me moving up to HQ. What HQ and moving to were from were. I can't tell.

The Lambo door cars still get a lot of favorable attention at car shows. Here was the overall custom winner at a 250 Vette car show this past Saturday in Prescott, AZ. The voting was by the 250 participants and there were a lot of really beautiful cars there. The stock winner was a '54 you can just see the front fender of.

Actually you don't get inside the new Corvette, so don't worry about doors. It get's inside you.

I heard you get a ring when you purchase the car which allows you to teleport in and out of the car.
