http://www.chevrolet.com/one13thirteen.html About 7:40 away a/o this posting. There's a countdown clock. I thought they said 7PM EST for the streaming reveal, but that "clock" shows 7PM MST for me...

I'm liking the rear better than the front now...hmmm. Must see it in person for sure. thanks for the pics.

Seats look nice and narrow...that will be my next C5 upgrade for sure, if I keep it.

Name a car that isn't plastic in those areas. You don't provide sufficient crash protection without plastic. Every make is plastic even the couple hundred K cars. You think it isn't plastic hammer on it a little and you will find out.
