I booked a hotel in Windsor Ontario Canada for the NAIAS. Not going for the sake of the C8 reveal (which I doubt will be there) but just for a road trip and the show in general.Last NAIAS show I attended was in January of 2004 when they revealed the C6.

I think it would be real coo for a surprise release next week. But more likely, NAIAS leaked this to get some attendance... think about it. How many people cancelled their trip when the ‘delay’ was first leaked.
That said, friends of mine in the know, but bound by confidentiality agreements, have forwarded me several published articles indicating a release was possible. They can’t say anything, but I took this as a positive indicator. I invited them to Barrett-Jackson without a response too... also tells me they have something worth staying in Detroit for next week. Or maybe they just have to be at work.
who knows.

So you're saying it would be a "coo" (coup) to reveal THE most important sports car in the history of GM to an empty room?

I think we already know the answer to this one. What do you think he's going to do?
- Disappear from the forum altogether
- Remain on the forum with yet another new username
- Try to explain away why it didn't happen
- Admit he was wrong on that prediction, yet maintain his other 'observations' are valid

At this point I hope he's telling the truth, if only because the fallout from that bombshell would be hilarious to watch.

They'll do an official teaser at Detroit and Zerv will claim he was "sort of right".

The amount of hate displayed by some on this forum is ridiculous.

Americans never admit to being wrong (see Washington example).

I am willing to bet money that the Detroit show will come and go without ANY official word about the C8 from GM. No announcements, no teasers, nothing!

The banning enthusiasts do add humor to this thread. Specifically since we know everything posted to a public forum is 100% fact. If there is no trace of the C8 perhaps the banners will secretly invite the OP to a GTG and then burn him at the stake....

Given what is in the news and on the internet every day, what is on this forum is trivial. It's a free country, at least today, so let folks say what they want. Half of what you read is questionable so why would this forum be any different. Live and let live.
