I hope it's a TT LTx that ends up in the high 700s.

I've just seen the same sticker on a photo of some other IVER that you could actually zoom in on. I always wondered what the hell it said too until that spy photo was posted.

Wow, this is awesome!

I know it's just that general...midengine kind of layout..

But from the size it really reminds me of a Mclaren F1 or first gen NSX.

I think it's the new 2019 Sonic. I hear they are making some HUGE performance upgrades to compete with the Fiesta and Civic. Hopefully this model will have an armrest for the passenger.

I didn't even see the sticker, that's what happens when you have lots more birthdays... you'll see.

I was by the plant today, lots of construction out back. Is that where they plan on building this car that doesn't exist?

GM is investing a ton of money into Bowling Green, supposedly for a new paint shop and other upgrades but a lot have said it doesn't all add up.

Bowling Green's new paint shop is really the mid-engine assembly line

Credit to Reddit for this one. Like we said, everybody knows a guy. But let's look deeper. The new paint facility costs $439 million dollars and adds 450,000 square feet, almost half the size of the existing plant. Plus GM announced another $290 million in upgrades at Bowling Green Assembly. That sure sounds like a lot of money, but you can actually spend that much on a paint booth. Porsche spent 500 million Euros (about $561 million dollars) to add the Macan assembly to its Leipzig, Germany plant in 2014. Chrysler shelled out $850 million for a paint shop in Sterling Heights, Michigan. GM spent $600 million for a new paint shop at the Fairfax (Kansas City) plant. Honda, on the other hand, is working on a thrifty $210 million project in Marysville, Ohio that includes a 300,000 square foot expansion, and the low-volume Acura NSX facility only cost $70 million.

Hasty conclusion: The square footage and cost could easily mean a new assembly line instead of (or in addition to) a paint line. And if the NSX plant was really that cheap, GM could have hidden a similar sum in its existing announcements.

it is very interesting to think about.
