And you know where to get all the coolest parts for them!

Can't wait until ours gets here!

 

i was hoping it would be a full panel design. it's a let down for me. seems like a half hearted attemped to make a panel. what gm would save in glass and trim would pay for the tooling. i'm still looking for operational liftgate glass!

 

You know, we have been working on a panel idea for a while (our concept for SEMA '07), and one of the things that keeps coming up is access to the back. I think GM addressed this perfectly by keeping the functional side doors, as we will be ripping that "storage bin" deal right out to make room for hidden subs. Once the subs are in place, a lowered flooring will be installed allowing us a sort of dropped "shelf" behind the seats where smaller boxes can be stacked without worrry of them sliding all around the back. Without side doors you would have to climb into the back to fish through any items towards the front.

I like the "door" idea!

 

What "glass and trim" are you referring to Jim?

All the glass and trim was removed from both sides!

 

Give me the SS panel and back seat for my kids and I am trading up!!!

 

I might have to sell my G6 for one of these. Well, only if it comes superchargerd :)

 

I think that's his point....money saved on removal of said items would pay for re-tooling plant???

 

I agree.

 

There is no way that removing those minor things would pay for that amount of re-tooling. It's surprising enough that they created some new body panels for the panel van version.

 

I just agree that's what Big Jim was saying. I agree with you that it what they would be saving probably wouldn't be enough for new tooling. Not to mention it is easy to build them on the same line the way Chevy is doing it currently. I'm sure a one piece side would cause production problems to their current line.
