Single exhaust? Makes me think it won't have the motor we all want in it..

I know it won't have what I want in it.

They should have produced the twin turbo I-6 AWD concept and called that the SS instead of this.

Our F-bodies could have come with single-exhaust tips as well

I am hoping for the 6.0 Liter atleast.

From what I've heard...

Bad: Base MSRP $38,000+

Twin-Turbo AWD Trailblazer concept >>>> Trailblazer SS

GM could've made a killing, and even had my money producing that concept.

Not too shabby, it takes a rather plain SUV and gives it appeal.
