Pretty nice score Hillar. Now for reality, To be viable they need to move 250,000 units per year. Are there that many folks out there willing to Pony up for a 300 or 400 HP car in this economy and fuel situation ? We all know the car is 3 years too late already. I hope it works out for GM and more importantly the loyal workers in Oshawa.

If GM could move 250,000 units a year, they would be absolutely ecstatic!  I think they are hoping for roughly 1/2 that amount the first year, and even that may be optimistic now the way the economy is going.  It is interesting to note the differences in marketing attitude for Canada and the US.  Here it will clearly be viewed as solely a Sunday car or second toy car; I don't think they really expect to sell a lot to people as their sole vehicle or daily driver.  Consequently pricing here will likely reflect that, in other words, we will be screwed again as we are on the G8!  In the US there will be a much bigger push to sell this as a daily driver, particularly the V6 version, and GM is on record (in the US anyways) as saying the pricing will be extremely competitive with the Mustang.  If I do end up buying one of these, I'm almost certain it will be from a US dealer.  I just hope GM survives long enough to bring the next models - the convertible and the rumoured Z28 supercharged version - into production before they run out of money and potentially go bankrupt.

Any idea about pricing yet? I am just online now getting a quote on a new CTS, if I sell all of my fleet...
