With the way half the country uses touch screens, I could see a lot of people shattering their windows in the first week.

That's neat but I wouldn't like my window all smudged up from my 2 year old. And what would a replacement window cost? $1000?

If ur kid is that screwed up that he can't go a few moments without a computer screen, he'll never amount to a hill of beans. So glad I don't have kidz to deal wit. This technology seems like a complete waste of time. I'm of the computer gen. and even I think its ridiculous. Who will be dunb enough toactually pay for that? I'd rather make my kid read a real physical book. Or use REAL crayons. I'll bet half or more kids today never colored in a coloring book!!!!! And we wonder why our kidz are the slowest compared to other countries. Line em up for the "make me stupid" feature soon to be a reality. What a shame, really.

Really? This is what GM is spending all their money on developing? Not lighter chassis, not an answer to Ford's 365hp twin turbo V6 that they can drop into numerous platforms, not a way to get all of the damn plastic out of their interiors? None of that. But touchscreen windows. Yeah. That's it.

Much to the dismay of most of us on here (myself included), the windows are probably much more exciting to your average consumer.

Neat technology and i can see it being popular. They could have educational stuff for kids which could be nice. Not against them doing stuff like this i mean whatever they can do to sell cars. All manufacturers use plastics on their interior and GM isn't even close to the worst offender in that department. They need to look at future techs in order to stay ahead and not always follow everyone else. GM comes up with some cool *** stuff for their cars i think and that helps sell stuff.

ATS chassis is light.

also, GM has a TT 3.6 that they're testing in a CTS body that will more than likely make its way into the ATS-V. supposedly around 440bhp and similar torque.
