It has a lot of body roll, little bit of body roll, it's not real necessary

It was also interesting to hear them talk about some of the internal struggles and arguments over certain aspects of the car. I could watch an entire show just about that.

I'm 5'8" (68"). 54" on me would come up to my armpits, and when I stood next to the car at the Royal Oak unveil, it seems like that's about where it was.

Scott Settlemire is over 6' tall... here's a picture of him getting in. I think his legs are bent a little...

One more time, just to be clear, he was driving a preproduction car. Suspension tuning wasn't final, and he was there specifically to give his feedback on the car, suspension included.

I did like the fact that they did drill into Rick about his tenure at GM.
I did notice one thing...GM is paying much more attention to China then America, but then again...American hasnt been paying much of anything to GM.

I don't think that's true.

China has ~1.3 billion people. The U.S. has 0.3 billion. China is more than four times more populous. So, when GM sells twice as many Buicks in China as it does in the States, that means the likelihood that a given person in China owns a Buick is less than half of what it is here.

GM is paying attention to China, that's for sure. But more attention than here? I don't think so.

You forgot " I like the steering" before It has a lot of body roll.
Thats what made it sound funny.

To quote dale again

"its not real"

Maybe it was all blue screen.

I don't know for sure, but I thought he used the word "unnecessary" or something like that in reference to the body roll, but there is more confusion because he sorta combined it with the same sentence that had the effect of "feels good" or something like that, which I believe was in reference to something other than body roll. The clip is also in our video section, I cannot look it up at the moment.

Perhaps he has an account here and will chime in. Heck, that would be kinda cool, wouldn't it?

Dale: "Right there it feels good. It has a lot of body roll"
Passenger: "yeah"
Dale: "A little bit of body roll. Its not real necessary"

Really?! Every Japanese car I sat in that was made in the 90's (and before) had the lowest-grade (ultra-cheap) vinyl headliners I've ever seen...

thats not what he says.. he doesnt say "right there it feels good" he says "steering feels good"

Dale: "Steering feels good. It has a lot of body roll."
Passenger: "yeah"
Dale: "A little bit of body roll. It's not real necessary"
