Well since seeing the G-Force seemed to be the most exciting part of the day (no parade lap :-( ) we got a lot of info.
1. The wheels, as many might have guessed, aren't going to make it. It looks like 17's are going to be on the higher models
2. The paint on the showcar is something like a $20,000!!! paint job. That definately isn't going to make it.
3. The headlight, albeit not HID, are supposed to be outstanding. A factor of 10+ on GM's scale, with a whooping 6 on our current headlights.
4. The seats are out of a Holden HSV... those particular seats aren't coming with it, but more supportive seats are coming (than our current)
5. Generation 5 supercharger from Eaton is said what gives it extra hp along with some computer tweaking. Still has a 3.8" pulley.
6. Still had the U-bend according to Ricky!!
7. Will come with a more detailed HUD, although not on the show car
8. Will come with the finger-touch paddle shifters. The computer apparently won't help you shift.. it'll even bounce the redline if you let it until you tell it to shift. Supposed to be the fastest shifting auto-stick type tranny.
9. Will come with a navigation system
10. Many years of improving the Grand Prix even after this car is released. GM's goal is to wipe the floor in the mid-size performance sedan market.
Everyone feel free to add to anything I missed --BD
