This was the prototype for the one released in the eighties.  I wish they
would have done more with that engine.

Sad but true, if we didn't live in the land of the lawsuit, maybe 
things would be different. GM might have sold the EV1's to consumers 
like Toyota is with the RAV4 EV's.


What year Grand National prototype was this they stole? A possible 
new one, or one from back in the 80's?

I always hoped GM would make a NEW Grand National someday.
