The only thing I dont like is that you have to get leather with the LTZ trim, and that trim also has parallel park assist, lane departure warning, and wireless cellphone charging.

I still can't get my head around the the economic benefits of a plug-in hybrid like the Chevy Volt.
lol. The $30,000 Bolt price tag is after a $7,500 federal tax incentive.

It makes my balls hurt. It's the perfect modern homage to the classic.
Okay, the Ford GT looks amazing, but the purist in me isn't liking the V6 at all. Even if it does make 600 hp.
Agreed completely. Not too keen on the rear end at the moment, but love the way it looks overall.
Really wish they would have went with a TT V8 like the McLaren 12C though. V6s sound so lame, more like appliances than supercar motors. Look at the GTR for example.

Yeah, if I do get a Volt, it's certainly not to save money, but rather because I like the car.
What the V6 in the new Ford GT sounds like. It definitely looks like an exotic, but that sound though.....

Welp, Detroit didn't disappoint this year, that's for sure.

Hmmm... I wonder if we'll get one in the showroom. No doubt this sucker will cost more than the 50th anniversary. Not sure how many people would come to Jamaica for a super car.
A V6 ECOBOOST has as much power as a V8. At least that's what Ford always tells me. I never drive these things, so I don't know how true it is. They've been saying it for years.

New NSX - TT V6 with three electric motor with 9-spd DCT.
Meh.
If the Ford GT wasn't announced today I might've been excited, but as it is... the NSX seriously just got overshadowed by the GT.
And if rumors of that mid-engined Corvette are true, then yeah... Acura might wanna re-reveal the NSX in Detroit or maybe in LA.

I think the NSX excites me more. Said their launches are better than the Tesla Model S and GTR.
Yes.

I was actually talking about it as if it was gonna be announced tomorrow but I forgot GM had their thing this morning. And for some reason I keep thinking that the NAIAS is at Chicago not Detroit lol.
Anyway, yeah I have seen that mule but I'm more inclined to believe that the mule is the next El Camino not a Vette. Holden badges up front with the front fascia of a Commodore and a truck like rear?
Here's a 2014 Holden Commodore Ute for reference:
Both the mule and the Ute are quite similar imo.
Its not a Holden.

Tentative! The GM says we're getting a GT. I don't know if he's serious or not.

The problem is that it's actually riding on a Corvette chassis, as evidenced by the Corvette windshield rake, A-pillar, B-pillar, and Corvette roof, which are all structural components that can't be swapped or removed from a chassis.

Maybe but FGT is a freakin super car it needs a big engine with thundering sound a V6 is so lame also a V8 with turbo is a better option see the Venom GT, the Agera R and the P1
Dem driving dynamics doe..

They chose that engine for the racing series they plan on running in. I'm not excited about the V6 either, but I'll wait to hear how it sounds before final verdict. V8s aren't exotic engines either (unless they're flat-plane).
Dont forget TVR!

They just don't sound like they belong in a supercar.
Sure, but they're just not perfectly viable
Ford
I'm not really a fan of trucks, but I've loved the Raptor ever since it was released.
Just seems fun as hell to drive off road!
Ford's new V6's are actually very good. I'm happy to see them put so much trust in the platform.
