I can hear it, but the video is crappy, seems slow and patchy. Sound is fine!

I'm surprised that they're are going to use the ZF auto - I thought it would have been GM's own 6 speeder?

270Kw base V8 sounds healthy.

Nope dont like it here, i like the power but it looks ugly to me, it represents some of the aspects i hate in vehicle design.
