I think due to the GM financial crisis, the coupe version is shelved for now.

not to sound like a sally buy does it have the hump that comes out of the tunnel area (im assuming for the bellhousing) that the last cts-vs had? that killed it for me as im 6'7 and had to hold my foot at a angle to push the gas.

At 6'7" you fall into the 5th percentile. We package to 95th percentile, especially with passanger cars. I'm 6'2" and have a long upper torso...I also fall into that 5th percentile. The fact is GM (and to an extent every other car manufacturer) can't build a car to fit everyone. Some people will unfortunately be at a disadvantage. That's just the way it is. The price we pay for being too tall. LOL!!!

Yeah, your 5%, then out of those 5% those interested in the car.

I doubt that equaled a "ton of sales."

Awesome car and fun to drive. And best of all for me, the whole family fits. And it still does 1/4 mile in the 12's with kids (Ok, don't really know that for sure, but it would be fun to try)

thats possible. and being the faithful GM buyer that i am it made me not buy a caddillac. when i said something about it the dealer said, your the 4th person to say something about that, we don't even notice it. to me that means im not the only one effected by it. say what you want.

wait a minute, is that official pricing? I assume some dealers will charge a solid 15k over invoice, but that is a HELL of a car for only 60k. Might have to pick up a used one in a couple years haha
