GM
The 300-horsepower, all-wheel drive coupe certainly has our attention, and while it doesn’t readily represent the values we’ve traditionally come to expect of General Motors’ division, we recognize that the brand is changing (and expanding), so we’ll certainly give Wagoner and Lutz a “pass” if they green-light the thing for the North American market.
Members, what do you think of it ?
Could this be your futurereplacement for your Monte Carlo ? [:-]

Mod Wiz Kidd,
The 300 HP comes from a V-6 Turbo
The four-seat coupé is powered by a 220 kW/300 hp, 2.8-liter V6 turbo gasoline engine and features an intelligent, electronically-controlled four-wheel drive system, which provides optimum traction and stability as well as excellent agility in all driving conditions.
Powerful engine and intelligent four-wheel drive system
The Opel GTC concept car is powered by a turbocharged, 220 kW/300 hp, 2.8-liter V6 gasoline engine with two variable camshafts, which is combined with a six-speed manual transmission. Maximum torque of 400 Nm is available from 1850 up to 4500 rpm, and accelerating from zero to 100 km/h is calculated to take around six seconds. Top speed is limited to 250 km/h.
The power from the high-tech turbo engine is channeled via an advanced, electronically-controlled four-wheel drive system, which is fully integrated into the car’s adaptive IDSPlus chassis management system. An electronically-regulated torque transfer device seamlessly distributes power between the front and rear axles for optimum traction and driving performance. The high-speed control allows more power to be provided to the rear axle before any traction loss can occur, for example during quick acceleration. This creates a driving feel similar to a sporty rear-wheel drive car. An electronically-controlled limited slip differential at the rear axle provides additional stability and traction thanks to torque distribution between the rear wheels.
Major benefits of the Opel GTC Concept’s intelligent four-wheel drive system are: optimum traction and stability in all driving conditions as well as excellent agility and an active driving feel.
If the new Camaro isn't big enough for you, GM has another choice : )

Oh heck yeah, only I know if they import anything Opel the price tripples.... lol!!!

You know, because GM has hard enough time putting on the lug nutz right once.... must less if they imported the car without wheels and then added the wheels.
