Did anybody catch this? Opel GTC concept has 300 hp and AWD

I confess that I didn't really pay much attention the first time I heard about the Opel GTC concept. I figured it was just some fancy sheet metal draped over GM's mid-size FWD platform. Big deal.

However, today I noticed that the concept has AWD. Interesting. In addition, it has a 300 hp turbocharged v6. Hmm...

So, does GM have the cojones to build this?

They got the tire rotation wrong on the rear, but the front is correct. Looks like a nice car.

Looks a little like the GT-R concept. GM certainly DOES NOT have the ***** to build it though. They're busy making their SUV fleet flex-fuel capable.

It might make it into prduction once they tone it down some. And it probably won't make it's way across the pond. Gm will find a way to **** it up
