    I hate this new look with the grill/intake at the leading edge of the hood that GM is using on all their cars. It may give a unique look, but I doubt it's a real inlet, because of aerodynamics, but it will still catch a lot of air and and cause excessive drag, hurting MPG's. (This area is the highest aerodynamic pressure area on any car, and should be as smooth as possible.) ... *continues mumbling to self; "if I had just worked a little harder in school and become a GM designer..."*

    @Mark Miller: Too bad you can't design Toyotas. They can't exactly get any uglier anymore.


    BMW and Honda stand as runners-up, and the Sebring has a league of its own.

    WTCC? I know that BTCC stands for British Touring Car Championship, but what's this? The Welsh Touring Car Championship? Western Sahara? Neither of those is even a real country.


    But then again, that's not a real Chevy either.

    If that thing has true GM parts they're doomed. It will never finish a race. Got to admit, it's going to be fun watching them get thrashed by the other makes.

    Is it even proper for a headline to ask a question? Is Britney getting married? Is Jennifer Anniston cozying up to John Mayer? It's a tease and it sucks. I refuse to read it.

    If you want to see some true track battles BTCC is more impressive than WTCC,I think Chevy will struggle up against SEAT & BMW. Maybe if they do well they may get more respect as a brand,as most people still associate them as Daewoo. Both forms are still more thrilling to watch the F1.

    As far as shopping carts go, this could race in that category as well, it already has the handle on the back!

    A shopping car would be rear-engine, rear-drive, Porsche-style. There's a reason it's easy to spin 'em around.

    @TR3-A: Most current touring cars series run nothing but FWD, FIA Super 2000 spec cars, and the racing is often very good.


    However......if you insist on bitterly clinging to your rear wheel drive and V8 engines, then here's where you can get that fix.

    Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (Germany)
    [www.dtm.com]


    Euro Superstars Series (Italy)

    This is the best news site that I've found that covers touring car racing world wide.

    And this is a kick ass site with the history of the European Touring Car Championship

    Why can't we have a version of this here? Seems way more apt than NASCAR to actually sell the cars being raced. Weird concept, I know. But there are far more tracks that could accommodate WTCC than NASCAR/Indy/F1.

    @SCROGGZILLA RAIDS AGAIN!!: Amen! Remember the NATCC? I don't remember if that was organized by SCCA or some remnant of IMSA but the result was the same. Bust.
    Chrysler got all geared up with their Stratus based car and... not much happened after that.
    I think it survived for maybe two seasons before going belly up. I saw them at Lime Rock and the track manager told me how unimpressed he was with any pro series that couldn't lap the track faster than a formula ford.

    @The Name's Ash78, Housewares: Racing within the US is controlled by some very powerful families that have a strangle hold on television rights, track usage, and venue. That, and the fact that we don't want to be controlled by the FIA...

    @SlowMo: The NATCC was an Indy car affiliated series (USAC maybe), which ran under the old Supertouring rules (2 ltr max displacement, no turbos, very stock). Nuthin but Accords and Stratus's (Stratusii?), often with no more than 15 cars in a field. Reputedly, both cars were developed on the cheap and were no faster than Indy lites around the same circuit. I think the NATCC is where David Donahue (son of Mark) got his start. A good idea, badly executed.
