DETROIT — General Motors is taking advantage of the YouTube trend and making a video of its aerodynamic R&D available to the public online. The Chevrolet Traverse is shown being tested in GM's wind tunnel in the 3-minute, 47-second video clip.
The Traverse's lead exterior designer and an aerodynamics specialist are shown explaining aspects of their work and describing aerodynamics for cars as "a tough nut to crack."
In YouTube style, the GMNext.com site offers up links to other videos, including ones with fascinating names such as "The Diversified Powertrain Plan" and "Ferment in the Field."
What this means to you: Nice video, but a bit disappointing that it doesn't have Bob Lutz in it. — Laura Sky Brown, Correspondent
