I think the 4 main criticisms--no manual, $40K+ MSRP, bland-ish styling, and underwhleming specs--are all legit given GM's hype. There are things that work, like the interior and the LS3, and things that don't. Nobody was asking for a four door ZL1 for $30K. But I think we were hoping for a good looking car that performed like a Camaro for Camaro-type money.
Personally I think this will be a one-and-done "since you asked for it..." offering. The whole limited-production/special order thing makes me think GM was hedging its bets big time. I'd bet Chevy is working on something on the Zeta platform for 2015 or so. I'm glad GM listened to the people asking for an updated G8, especially the Camaro guys that now have a family like me, this isn't what I was hoping for. And for $40-45K I need to LOVE the car, not just say it's "fine."  Just my opinion though.

I don't think I called virtually everyone a little baby, I said a lot of people ACT like little babies.. As I said before it does not matter what GM does somebody will whine because its not what they want or expected it to be...
